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!

The first part of our new Special Series: Cageless!
We're stepping outside the Cageverse to examine movies WITHOUT Nicolas Cage. In this episode, we examine Ari Aster's first feature film, Hereditary -- a supernatural horror flick that's so good it's still haunting us.
Join us for an extensive discussion about Ari Aster and A24, behind the scenes, a full synopsis, our interpretations of the story, the legacy of Hereditary, and more.
(After 14:00, all music and ambient noise produced by Cagefighter Reece.)

We're officially in the 90s now.
The Cagefighters bring back a problematic and untimely Cage-tastic Italian war movie from the dead: "Time to Kill." Next, we examine David Lynch's attempts to tame Cage's wild heart when his character is on the run from Mama's bloodthirsty bounty hunters...in between long bouts of sex, heavy metal slam dancing, and Nic Cage singing!
We also introduce Cagefighter Matt in this episode -- the man who originally inspired this podcast after creating Nicolas Cage Appreciation Night (NCAN).
Listen to find out which movie will compete in our upcoming Cage Fight season finale!

The Cagefighters pit the next two comedies from the 80's against the other: Moonstruck (1987), an Italian-American romance Cagefighter Steve calls, “The Cher/Nicolas Cage cougar-bait film of the last millennium,” versus Vampire’s Kiss (1989) – one of Cage’s most batty and meme-ified roles. It’s also Nic Cage as a vampire hunter who is hunting himself because… he’s, well, a vampire, duh.
Cagefighter Shawn discusses deleted scenes from The Color Out of Space and Reece delivers a sultry Nic List. Find out which Cage movie wins in the end!
Our next two films will be Time to Kill and Wild at Heart.
As an added bonus for our listeners, each instance of the word Cher in this episode has been auto tuned.

After a brief "catch-up-on-CAGE" (including marriage, divorce and a bizarre karaoke clip), the CAGEFIGHTERS dive HEADFIRST into the FINAL review of the season -- The Boy in Blue (1986), a ROCKY clone chronicling the career of Canadian sculler/rower/tribal scalper Ned Hanlan set in the late 1800s. We discuss how ST. NIC tackles this role with verve & alcoholism, uninspired rowing, clothing sex, and ultimately getting cage-fished. Finally, we discuss our expectations for the upcoming FIVE FILM FACE/OFF FINALE (or simply... Cage Fight).
