Mandy and Pig are absolute classics. Nicolas Cage is the man. I hate how so many young people today only know him as a meme and not the great actor that he truly is.
Crazy thing is, it was always kind of like that. I remember in 1998, when I was in college, saying in my film class that Cage was one of my favorite actors, and everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Then someone gave me a lecture on how Cage will never be as great of an actor as Jason Lee.
The best part is how you can tell the brothers apart the second they’re together, simply because of their confidence. Cage gives TWO brilliant performances.
I need to rewatch adaptation because I love Nicholas cage and I thought that shit was stupid when I initially watched it. Maybe everyone else is wrong but I'm starting to suspect I'm stupid
Ebert wrote about Cage and I remember distinctly what resonated with me. Ebert wrote that Cage above all other actors possessed a fearlessness that is a level solely his. He will GO FOR IT. Has he made some shit? Of course. Is he one of the greatest actors ever? Of course.
He might have been in some trash, but he is always the best part. Plus he just owes a lot of money to the IRS so he does whatever he can lol still best part of the movie.
@@TOMMYDACOMMIE yeah a paycheck. And it also is just more evidence of how confident in his talent and fearless he is. Many would be devastated that people would mock them. Not Cage. He does not care at all what others think of him.
That's a very gay thing to say indeed. I know because I'm gay. We're all gay, including James Whale, Nick Mullen and Nick Cage (he plays the most glorious gay, of course).

@@ihateallthethings2683 Stav was always pursuing the standup career where the other guys were not as committed.

I really love the point about him making nearly anything he's given kind of work. I suppose that is a better judge of talent. The script is barely finished, the budget sucks, but god damn it Nic will find a way.
Nick has had like 4 acts to his career. Started out young and played in incredibly eccentric but well written roles, then went to action movies where he excelled, then went to b-movies that had horrible dialogue, writing, plots, and sets but he essentially carried them and now he’s just performing in an amalgamation of all three elements prior - low budget movies, where he is an eccentric character that’s basically just him dialed to 11, but with quality writing and respectable action sequences.
I love Nic Cage. I learned about Leaving Las Vegas through another C town ep and its one of my all time favourite films now. He really is a one of a kind actor.
When I saw that I dreamed of drinking myself to death while hooking up with Elisabeth Shue..she is so damm hot in that movie ..I am drinking myself to death but I hooked up with Pornhub instead unfortunately
I watch your channel and a lot and I also listen to a lot of Cumtown clips, and now those two great things have come together. There is great audio from old actor's studio episodes, for instance james lipton talking about spielberg's parents to spielberg
Omg same.... Except me and nick have been best friends for years now, though I would say, just FYI that nick doesn't like people fawning on him like ur comment, I've told him so many times that people are just appreciating him but he's insistent that he's got enough friends now so there's really not much point in any further communication from you to him... I'm gay btw
Raising Arizona is my favorite comedy. He’s great in that although the coens brought a great film to him. Also an older one he’s great in is moonstruck. I still need to see Mandy and Pig
i think it was Lord of War & Bringing Out The Dead that convinced me just what a POWERHOUSE performer he is - capturing all the rage, all the quiet, and all the beauty in his eyes (yeh, im def gay for him)
This is an incredibly based take. I've been saying this for years; Nicolas Cage doesn't phone-in fuck all. Every time he has a role, he's got some odd but wholly unique angle to go towards. You watch interviews of his craft and he says like "Oh I was watching a bird flew by and I thought what would it be like to be a bird," or "I am a big fan of German Expressionism. That's where I wanted to take this role." They may be odd to some of us but the guy has an idea and goes for it. That's respectable. Also, you're gay.
Everyone got so excited about him being in Long Legs. Don’t people realizes he’s in literally 100 movies per year? You can see every version of him in any genre on every streaming service.
The film i always point to when talking about cage is bad lieutenant new orleans. That movie would be absolute garbage with anyone else, but ive watched it at least 10 times and still love it.
I'm thinking this dude had quite a bit of expenses and thus took a bunch of jobs. Trying to get away from his real name probably made him take more risks in the spirit of proving himself on his own terms as well. I don't know, I just love "The Rock" as much as I hate "Face Off".
Nick Cage has always had good performances (Raising Arizona Leaving Las Vegas Adaptation etc.) but hes chosen some dogshit scripts. And lets be honest hes been pretty shit in some of his movies. Like hes legitimately made like twenty horrendous films in the last ten years. And being the best part of a bad movie doesnt make your performance commendable. Dream Scenario was legitimately a terrific performance (something were really not used to with Cage due to the shear inconsistency of quality of his films) and was a reminder he can actually act
Tried watching color out of space and it was just so incredibly lame and trashy overall. Cage was really great though and he totally went for his role. Otherwise complete shit.
I like that you cut every time Adam starts talking
He adds nothing to any conversation ever!
i need that for every single ep
reminds me of nopie videos
Distracted by how absurdly loud Stav is breathing while Nick is talking about Gone in 60 Seconds
thanks for editing out adam

Let young people enjoy him for what he is to them. Nothing wrong with that. If anything it'll make them curious to watch his older films.
@@ruslanjanumyan5770 Jason Lee... whatever happened to him?
@@TheRealNormanBates He owns a restaurant in Denton, TX, my hometown. It's called Barley & Board and is really good.
Pig wasn't good what are you talking about ??? No seriously please explain I am baffled.
He is incredible in Adaptation. Insanely good.
That is ending moved me to tears and I don’t give it up easily. He was incredible in it.
I have never seen a bad Nicolas Cage movie. I’ve also never seen more than 1

The best actor of all time
Makes Daniel Day Lewis look like a pile of puke
Raising Arizona (1987) and Pig (2021) are probably two of my favorite movies from him.

OH NO LETS GO

It has hints of Beevis and Butthead, right? Even the other dudes in the podcast were like "You're really going to laugh like that again, uh?".
I haven’t seen a lot of the movies Nick mentions but my personal favorite of Nick Cage’s is Matchstick Men
Nick Cage is so underrated its criminal
Thank you for posting my friend. He has a beautiful mind
Vampire's Kiss deserves an honorable mention.
This is superb analysis, no lie.
Bringing Out The Dead is awesome

Great to hear from my good friend nick mullen
Watch the movie "Mandy". Best Nic Cage flick of all time.
Holy shit I never clicked so fast in my life.
Birdy is by far the best Nicolas Cage film.
“Willie’s Wonderland” is epic. Cage says absolutely zero words in the entire film.
Wild at Heart
Fuck I love Nick Mullen and Nicolas Cage this video is full of my favorite Nicks and I'm gay
Till the break of DAWN, BABY!!!!!
My favorite Nick Cage movie still is the buddy cop horror medieval knight Iraq war protest comedy Season of the Witch

Ridiculous. What was he evry bad in? Not what was he in that was bad, what was he bad in?
@@zhuyu9268 every film he did during his VoD era.

Lord of war is the best cage movie however
Conair is his best movie.

Raising Arizona. Face off. Con air. Snake Eyes. Adaptation. ( I haven’t seen leaving Las Vegas )
