In a turn of events we decided to take a trip to the island of Japan as a theme. What kind of theme could we pluck out of cinema from the land of the rising sun? Would it be films of the samurai? Lightning fast martial arts? How about slow boil romances where everyone acts like they’re taking ketamine off screen? You shall have to see now.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be good at your job? So good that you would be brought out of retirement for one last job? That’s how we ended up slinging space donuts at the Convention of Peace Officers in Chicago six years ago. Was it worth the six dollars an hour and all the mini donuts you can eat? Some people would say no. Those people have never seen the look on a con goers face when you hand them a bag that burns their hand because the contents were in the fryer less than ten seconds ago.

It’s been a hot minute since we’ve had a solid theme episode around Nicolas Cage. But just grabbing three movies of our patron saint is too easy. The man has a long filmography which makes it way too easy to cherry pick. So we decided to narrow things down and focus on Westerns made with Cage.

We have bad news for you, bank teller person. The robbery is coming from inside the bank! Of course robberies usually happen inside a bank if they are bank robberies. Ones conducted outside of them are can be classified as cash in transit heists if the thieves are stealing from the vehicle itself. Important notes if you’re planning on being listed on the FBI’s list of most wanted bank robbers. That way you can say you were on the scoreboard when you’re in federal prison.

Punch, kick, it’s all in the mind. Or that’s what weirdos will tell you. Then you strike them in the face and ask them if that was simply a personal construct or not. Of course they will go call the cops which is the adult version of tattling. Which is really the only reason nihilists and solopsists get away with being smug jerks in a civilized society. Let us bring that around to Chuck Norris.

Let’s look over the stack of papers on our desk. Doesn’t seem anyone has died too recently but everyone is talking about scary weather. So it must be summer and that puts us right in the mood to talk about frightening beaches where people die suddenly. No, we’re not talking about sharks or any famous movies featuring them. We have The Fog(1980).

You might not think that we ever get stuck for movies to pick for the show. What with Hollywood alone having been making films for over a century. Giving us a library of media you probably couldn’t watch in your lifetime without sacrificing your personal life and a significant portion of sleep. But that does happen and then we hear about an actor’s passing and it reminds us of their work.

Either we’re buying in bulk or we have a coupon. Because once again we have another twofer. Perhaps it’s time to open a bulk review store where you can roll around. It might do gangbusters if we offer hotdogs and soda for a competitive price. Perhaps something like a dollar thirty five to undercut someone else. So if you find us dead, a certain CEO is responsible for it.

Saddle up them horses and get ready for a rodeo. Or at least a mechanical bull and a burger from Hardees. This will be more relevant than other references to Western cowboy culture that you could imagine. Forget your nudie suit, turn off your reruns of Grand Ol’ Oprey, and join us for what is most certainly a take on ranching. We have Tokyo Cowboy[2023].

It kind of sucks when we get a themed episode thrust upon us. Because we’re very bad at making a theme. Then someone dies and we comb over their catalog for something interesting. Which can also make for a bad episode. So we decided to do two of Val Kilmer’s lesser discussed films together. It doesn’t hurt that we’ve seen both before. That made this a bit of a refresher.
