On today's episode of Into the Classical Music with Charlie and Wikipedia, special guest Josh DiCristo stops by to discuss Nicolas Cage's love letter to his own singing voice.
Nicolas Cage wakes up in an alternate reality where his best friend is Jeremy Piven. It's terrifying.
The guys watch Gone in 60 Seconds. I'll be honest, I'm phoning in the description this week. THEY'RE NOT ALL WINNERS, PEOPLE.
In today's film, Nic plays a melting priest who drives a murder van across New York City in Martin Scorsese's sci-fi dystopian epic, set in the dark and gritty future of the early 90s. Kind of.
A part of Josh dies.
This week we take a deep dive into the dark and disturbing psyche of Joel Schumacher as we watch his superhero origin movie/psychological meditation on porno snuff films 8MM. One of these things is true and it's not going to be the one that you want.
This week we talk about a boxing thriller that contains one hell of a Nic Cage performance for about 20 minutes before it turns into a very different (but still good) movie. But I mean, come on. We want a screaming, coked-out Nicolas Cage for the whole movie or none at all. We also talk about how a lot of musicals have the letter "M" in it. We are not smart people.
Due to a technical glitch, we re-recorded this episode two months after we originally watched the movie and thought it would be a good idea to not re-watch it. Basically we're as prepared for this episode as Nicolas Cage was for his southern accent. NAILED IT.
Face/Off is the greatest movie ever known to man and if any of you disagree, I will literally rip your face off and wear it as a trophy. And in the second half of this episode, we get into the Third Quarterly Cage Awards! Where we talk more about how Face/Off is the greatest movie of all time, but also Nicolas Cage's penis.
City of Angels was an odd cookie to be sure but also everyone's internet connection breaks on this episode and nobody knows how to handle it so that's fun. We're somehow adults.
