This week on The Dive-In Moviecast, co-host’s Hayden Koutras & Wesley Giffen are talking Nic Fucking Cage!
To kick off the episode, they discuss the news of the Thor: Love & Thunder trailer, the announcement of Venom 3, news of Bad Bunny joining Sony’s Marvel universe, the announcement of a D&D movie, and more.
They then talk about the man himself and chat about what makes Nic Cage such a special actor in the industry, try and answer the question of whether or not he’s a good or bad actor, his method of acting ‘Noveau Shamanic’ and what it means before they get into the movie of the week, chatting how entertaining it is to watch Nic Cage play a heavily fictionalized version of himself and why that would be such a tricky role to play, the bromance between he and Pedro Pascal in this movie, the references to other Nic Cage movies we noticed, what makes this movie so hilarious regardless of your relationship to Cage’s work, the standout comedic moments from the film, and why this movie surprisingly and rightfully gives Paddington 2 the love it deserves.
To end of the episode, Hayden ranks his top 5 Nicolas Cage movies and honourable mentions.
