Bucky’s Basement Podcast
The Basement is a place where 3 friends dive deep into the world of Nicolas Cage on our Casting Cage episodes, where we watch, dissect, and celebrate his legendary performances. Then, get ready for some off-the-cuff creativity on Fast Pitch, where we take random word-generated titles and turn them into original movie ideas on the spot. It’s a mix of movie love, improv, and absurd fun—all from the depths of Bucky’s Basement.

We always wonder if Fast Pitch could be turned into a party game. So, we threw a mini-party with the ladies at the Toxic Waste of Time Podcast: Katie Booth & Ivy Hensley.
And boy howdy, did they knock it out of the park! We also played their opening episode segment: Icebreaker (which was a blast).
We have a lot of great episodes, but this one goes into the books as a top highlight. Added bonus, Bucky does a tango (?)
So, put on your dancing shoes, mix you a drink, and let your ears party down.
Always unique. Always fresh. In 15 minutes or less.Only on Bucky's Basement.
And be sure to check out Ivy and Katie on their podcast anywhere you stream. Well worth your time: https://podcasts.apple.com/hn/podcast/toxic-waste-of-time/id1801496910

This week we are super excited to have special guests Katie Boothe & Ivy Hensley from the Toxic Waste of Time podcast in the studio for an episode of Fast Pitch. But before we get into that madness, we decided to get to know them and their podcast a little better... and to find out of they know about the secret Joe C tribute in Kid Rocks Donkey Show & Steakhouse in downtown Nashville. Only God Knows Why...

Drive Angry - Casting Cage Ep 50 Feat. Ian Ramos
Friday Jun 19, 2026
Friday Jun 19, 2026
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 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
Wednesday Jun 03, 2026
Wednesday Jun 03, 2026
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.
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. 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.

A SMALL PAPER BAG sits on the doorstep — ON FIRE.
BUCKY(yelling back inside)IT’S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE FLAMING BAGS!
From deeper in the studio:
OLDBOYDon’t put it out with your boots!
Too late.
Bucky stomps the flames out with his leather magician shoe.
He pauses.
Something was inside the bag.
Slowly, he bends down… removes the shoe… and brings it to his nose.
Sniff. Sniff. Sniiiiiiiiiiff.
Bucky recoils in horror.
BUCKYAWWWW MAAAN! WE GOT TURTELTAUBBED AGAIN!!

Snow Yogurt & Green - Feat Lisle Jones - Fast Pitch 43 - Bucky's Basement

Thursday Apr 30, 2026
The Sack has spoken, and this week it delivered something truly unprecedented: Snow Yogurt and Green.
You read that right.
Joining us in the studio is special guest and Nashville comedian Lisle Jones, making it a four-pitch showdown for the ages. Casts, Movie Marriages, Taglines — all built from the ground up with backs against the wall and absolutely no dignity to spare.
And somehow, through the beautiful chaos of it all, a common thread emerged: the artist Snow. Yes, that Snow. "Informer" Snow. A licky boom boom down.
Nobody plans it. Nobody can explain it. That's just what happens when the Sack is in charge.
Same title. Four movies. Zero dignity.
Always unique. Always fresh. In 15 minutes or less.
Only on Bucky's Basement.

This week on Fast Pitch, The Sack giveth a coveted 3-Word Title: The Posh Climber.
