Description

Holy smokes, do we have a Casting Cage episode for you! This week, we review the 2009 Werner Herzog joint: Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. Nic Cage plays — you guessed it — a shady cop. How shady, you ask?    Let's see. He dates a prostitute. He breaks nearly every law. He does ALL the drugs. There's nothing that will get in his way and nothing he won't smoke (except cigarettes — go figure) to help close the case. So does that, technically, make him a good cop with some bad habits? We discuss.     With a hell-yeah cast, an awesome director, and Nic Cage fully unleashed, BL:PoCNO is something to behold. Plus — there's lizards. Wtf is up with all the lizards?!   Put your hands on the wall and get ready for a shakedown. Because nobody does Cage like we do. Only on Bucky's Basement.

Drive Angry - Casting Cage Ep 50 Feat. Ian Ramos

We've all been there. Sitting in Hell when you learn some velvety, backwoods cult leader has kidnapped your granddaughter for some nefarious, world-dominating scheme.   So, you do what you have to and bust out of Hades in a sick ride, equipped with the devil's own magic shotgun to hunt down evil rednecks.   But you're missing some element to complete your mission, so you seek out a ridiculously hot, foul-mouthed waitress from a local diner with an even sicker ride to accompany you (and maybe adopt your granddaughter after you've rescued her).    All set, with William Fichtner and his magic quarter on your heels, you drive towards your destination. And you Drive Angry.   We're joined by special guest, Ian Ramos, aka Phantom Ring Horror Props [https://www.instagram.com/phantomringprops/reels/] on this week's Casting Cage to explore a tale as old as time.  When is the proper time to drink out of your enemy's skull?   Because nobody does Cage like we do. Only on Bucky's Basement.

Season of the Witch - Casting Cage Ep 49 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Two Crusade Bros have had enough of the Holy Land — too much sun, too much guilt, too many swords in too many people. They desert, wander back to Europe, and find the whole continent has gone janky.    Plague everywhere. Crops dead. Vibes: rancid. Hair: surprisingly good. [https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Flh4.googleusercontent.com%2F-AqJQ_-wgI2s%2FTYT-CC8jZ9I%2FAAAAAAAAKOM%2FVJvgWejAVTA%2Fs1600%2FNicolas%2BCage%2B-%2Bseasonofthewitch2011%2Bmovie%2B720p.png&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=8beb0781e383714e43084cc5926e19d3d3fd197e37643f0d1e745b52745efdfa] The culprit? A witch. Obvs.   When has a woman ever not been responsible for a continent-wide supernatural catastrophe? Classic.   So our boys get voluntold to escort this alleged witch to a monastery, where some monks will presumably sort it all out with prayers and vibes. Along the way: moral ambiguity, crew drama, and enough medieval atmosphere to make you grateful for antibiotics.   Oh, and everyone has American accents. Make of that what you will. Some have called it a bold subtext on the American military-industrial complex. Most have called it a choice.   Now — the twist. She's not a witch. She's a demon. A green demon [https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.redbrokoly.com%2F200430-large_default%2Fforest-green-demon-mascot-costume-character-dressed-with-a-mini-dress-and-scarf-clips.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=c18076fc6f203424afead85c14b58d78dc2734a2d44aa84db30c48d6e6734d11]. With an Eastern European gangster accent. Because nobody had ever done that before, and honestly, after watching this movie, you'll understand why.   The cast is genuinely stacked — Nic Cage, Ron Perlman, Christopher Lee, Claire Foy, Stephen Graham — all doing their best in a film that is not repaying that favor.   Will they make it to the monastery? Will the demon's accent hold up? Is green the right color for evil? Only one way to find out...   Because nobody does Cage like we do. Only on Bucky's Basement.
