We’re a bitchin’ group of guys from Ohio who love long walks on the beach and Nicolas Cage. With nearly 50 episodes and 5000 downloads, we’ve been your lifeline to the Cinematic Cageverse since 2018. Steve, Shawn and myself (Cagefighter Reece) attempt to review EVERY Nic Cage film in existence and BATTLE over which movies are awarded eternal rest in our Bee Cage of Fame. Our winners so far are Birdy (1984), Vampire’s Kiss (1988), and Con Air (1997). While we poke some fun at Cage’s CRAZIER roles and real-life antics, we also give due credit to our favorite Oscar-winning actor who has now appeared in over 100 films -- plus you’ll hear our own personal stories and misadventures. Find us at NicCageFight.com or email us at latenightcagefight@gmail.com. Suffering from a Cage Overdose? Check out our sub-series within this podcast titled ”CAGELESS” where we discuss our favorite movies not featuring our lord and savior. CAGE OUT!

8MM: We Review a Snuff Film
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
Saturday Feb 17, 2024
Have you ever wanted to buy the most deplorable pornography you can imagine from a man beneath the subway? Have you ever wondered how much it would cost to crowdfund a REAL snuff film? (1st world problems, I know.)
If you answered YES to either question, then this may be the review for YOU! So switch your cybertruck to autopilot, crank that Vision Pro volume to EARBLEED, and relax with us while we talk Nicolas Cage's role in the 1999 thriller 8MM.
We Cagefighters were admittedly delighted and disturbed by this tragic tale of porno deep dives, one-percenter torture fantasies, and revenge murder. Hear our thoughts and concerns, and please someone get us in touch with a good therapist for the love of god.

Ever wonder what it's like to wake up from your life as a filthy rich Wall Street banker to a life of poverty, shame and... CHILDREN? Nicolas Cage stars in this Christmas-themed episode of "Outer Limits" that's stretched out to two hours and filled with super sappy love scenes and Don Cheadle as some kind of timelord.
We also discuss Nic Cage's recent announcement that he plans to step away from acting to focus on being a REAL family man. And we also drop some hints about our next episode, which is sure to be something special.

Christmas in Cage: Trapped in Paradise Review
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Sunday Nov 26, 2023
Happy Cage-Giving, friends. 'Tis the season for a Cage-y trip down the horrid holiday lane. The first movie of our holiday bunch we subjected our sanity to was St. Nic's 1994 "Trapped in Paradise" -- a Christmas movie so hard to watch it's like being trapped with John Travolta in Hell. Hear us riff on the movie that also stars John Lovitz and Dana Carvey and ask questions about the meaning of life. Why, Nic Cage, why? Was this a "Mandy" prequel? Krampus origin story? The world will never know. But it doesn't matter, because Earth is just one small planet in the vast, infinite Cageverse.

Thursday Nov 02, 2023
With our first contender for the season's crown, "Snake Eyes" rolls in our laps like a pair of Cage testicle props from "Prisoners of the Ghostland". Join the Cagefighters for a spirited review of this classic boxing/gambling/Mission Impossible-esque thriller starring our hero of space and time. But not before we force Cagefighter Steve to experience the new trailer for A24's upcoming movie starring Nic Cage called, "Dream Scenario," which will release this month!
Tune in for our thoughts on "Snake Eyes" and follow us on social media or visit our website at NicCageFight.com. Are you a Cage fan with an opinion? Email your thoughts to latenightcagefight@gmail.com and maybe we'll give you a shout-out. Cage Out!

Director Kevin Lewis -- known for the Gonzo Cage-Horror Willy's Wonderland -- delivers a twisted vision of elder care gone wrong in The Accursed. And with demons, witches, and hot librarians, what's not to love? Hear our thoughts on the movie and why we think it's not okay to spew black blood on your nurse, or eat apples from a stranger's kitchen. The Accursed is now available on streaming.
