Screening Roomers! You asked for it... and you got it... "NIC F**************KING CAGE!!!" It's the return of fan favorite "unCAGEd"... and this season we're celebrating Nic Cage's 67th birthday (and from this day forward hereby dubbing January 7th Nic Cage Day across the universe) by bringing you volume 2 - THE CAGE COMEDIES. So, actor, TMSR regular and Nic Cage authority Yuri Lowenthal joins FM once again to un-cage more Cage - 1987's RAISING ARIZONA... 1992s HONEYMOON IN VEGAS... 2003's MATCHSTICK MEN... 2019's MOM AND DAD... and 2022's THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT. They'll discuss what makes a great Cage movie and a memorable Cage performance. And they'll also rate Nic in each of these films with the return of their state-of-the-art Cage-o-Meter... which has undergone a massive upgrade - a highly advanced cAge-I!!
