Pig vs 8MM

The hosts of the upcoming Brother Sibling Movie podcast: Meredith and Evan join the gang to talk two very tonally different movies. 1999's snuff-fest: 8MM goes up against show favorite Pig (2021). Do Max California and Dino Velvet have enough juice to upset Robin Feld and hottie-patottie Amir? Learn the sweet new Cage Match sex move: the Salted Baguette™. Hopefully Bruce Springsteen isn't feeling litigious...This is Cage Match. Intro music by: Bill Panks

Army of One vs Moonstruck

Inside of all of us are two woofs: one is a Sasso, one is a Scheer. Which are you? This week on Podcast Court we have folk hero Gary Faulkner up against Ronnie Cammareri who really just wants a well done steak and a big knife. We are joined by long time guest, Eric and our friend Lauren Freman. Join us for consensual mind-freaking and the best chicken wings in the got-dang world. This is Cage Match.

Face/Off vs Con Air

The biggest head to head match-up to date seems an appropriate time to introduce: Podcast Court. The Slicksteen starts while returning guests, Gary and Rox, defend the honor of Face/Off and Shey teaches us a thing or two about Con Air. Let's get thick in the zeitgeist of '97. Who makes the better case? Which movie has the correct amount of face touching? Won't someone please put that bunny back in the damn box? This is Cage Match.

Round of 32 Recap

Well, we've narrowed things down to the Slicksteen so it felt appropriate to have a little chat about how the Round of 32 went. We talk our favorites, some Nic Cage hot swaps, Flesh Gordon and Will Sasso. What more can you ask for?! This is Cage Match.

Kiss of Death vs Leaving Las Vegas

To replace the lost episode (stolen laptop) we are back with Gary and Rox to talk 1995’s Kiss of Death and Leaving Las Vegas. How much did Mike Figgis change from the O'Brien book? Is Kiss of Death best watched in a janky YouTube clip or spanish language import Blu Ray? Do male pasties exist? Also, if you're Michael Rapaport you legally have to tell us. This is Cage Match

Willy's Wonderland vs Wild at Heart

Alright, y’all, we recorded this one Texas style with Nic Cage artist: Lunchbox. David Lynch’s 1990 Wild at Heart vs 2021’s Willy’s Wonderland. It’s someone’s birthday for sure so let’s celebrate with a nice round of Bobby Peru Fuck / Marry / Kill and a debate on the legality of face-sitting in the UK. This is Cage Match and we’re making our LUNCH!

8MM vs Captain Corelli's Mandolin

The matchup of the bracket: Chris Bauer being a soft-body murder machine and Christian Bale's mom mocking his junk. Obviously this is 1999's 8MM and 2001's Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Special guest, and three time retuning guest, Adam, helps us unpack these two wildly dissimilar movies. Find out: Is one of these movies Snake Eyes? (no). Do we know anything about handguns? (no). Why is Nick so good at looking and sounding like an old lady? (only God knows). Come pick your favorite deviant. This is Cage Match.

Guarding Tess vs Moonstruck

The bella luna is back, baby! This week we're joined by local guest and friend, Ian to chat about cop staches, family love (yuck), Nick's new crypto, and getting a Bobo in your life. Obviously we're discussing 1994's Guarding Tess and 1987's Moonstruck. Come be charmed by Cher as she tries to pronounce "wolf" and enjoy Nic Cage shooting a dude's toe off. This is Cage Match!

Con Air vs Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance

Chris Coffel (Film School Rejects, Bloody Disgusting, Rocket League) joins the gang to fight the good fight. Our bone-y boy returns to take on the flowing locks and round-house kicks of Cameron Poe. This is Con Air vs Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance. Find out the best hell vehicle, get your suck tubes ready and turn up the M.C. Gainey. Hon hon hon, this is Cage Match!

Mom & Dad vs Mandy

Special guest Brian Kim McCormick joins us mostly to talk about Nick’s new calling in life as the writer of Human Centipede 4. We also dive into the joys of Brian Talyor’s Mom and Dad (2017) and the beautiful grotesque that is Panos Cosmotos’ Mandy (2018). We’ve got Buffalo Bill tuck n’ posin’, we’ve got Producer Peter singing, we’ve got at least four buttholes…This is Cage Match.
