Video Negative x One Good Thing - The Wicker Man '06

The second of this summer's bonus episodes sees Oliver join forces with podcast chums One Good Thing to take on the flash-backing, back-tracking madness of 2006's infamous The Wicker Man!

Nic Cages makes an unwelcome return to the show as we interlock the Director's and Theatrical cuts in an attempt to uncover the one good thing about this crappy cult classic. We're talking the films' endlessly useless plot points, complete dearth of terror or suspense, and the somewhat overstated (and overrated) madness of Nic Cage (which makes up about 2% of this hellishly dull retread of a remake).

Episode 50 - The Rock

Cage Against the Machine season comes to a close with its final part - and our 50th episode - it's 1996's The Rock!

We're treating ourselves for this milestone ep by reviewing something 2/3 of us actually like. Rest assured, things still get silly as we're talking the sourness of those VX balls, debunking the theory that Sean Connery's character is actually James Bond, more juicy 90s gay panic, and plotting this season's films on the Nicolas Cage Matrix to see how his craziness ranks up with the rest of his oeuvre.

Plenty of bang for your buck (it is Michael Bay after all), be sure to tune and help us celebrate our 50th in style.

Episode 48 - 8MM

Cage Against the Machine season - a run through of some of Nic Cage's worst 90s films - continues with Joel Schumacher's snuff film snore-fest, it's 1999's 8MM.

How dull can a film about hardcore murder porn be? What's with the Bollywood score playing through this film and is Joaquin Phoenix really this generation's greatest actor?

Also: Tim and Dan get into it over whether this film is actually tense (it's not), an insight into Troy Duffy's casting methods and we learn from several IMDB reviews that the movie isn't meant for little kids.

Episode 47 - Deadfall

We're kicking off our season of terrible 90s Nicolas Cage films with one of his craziest (dare we say UNCAGED) performances, it's 1993's con-caper-crapshoot Deadfall!

We're discussing your opinions on whether Nic Cage is actually a good actor, the least erotic sex scene in film history, the obvious "Tarantino quirks" of this post-Reservoir Dogs crime flick, THAT Sam Peckinpah reference, as well as Cage's own meditations on his "unique" acting style.

Forget Wicker Man, this is truly up there with the Cage man's most mental performances, so don't be a GREASY LITTLE NEPHEW, make sure you check this one out!
