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.

You’re going to take that football and you’re going to run to the other side. And if the other guys try to stop you, you don’t let them. That’s the famous speech from the Gene Hackman movie, right? Look, we never said we knew all of Gene’s filmography or watched it. We are aware a lot of people put Hoosiers on the top of that list. We figure it must be related to football because we don’t really watch sports movies.

They say there are two sides to every story. Two angles that everything can be viewed by. Considering the potential for the non-euclidean nature of metaphysics, there’s probably more than that. However we’re interested in the two sides that make up our movie. We have The Gorge[2024].
