Kiss Of Death - Casting Cage Ep 20 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Nic Cage as a jacked gangster, Sam Jackson as a tough cop with a watery eye, Stanley Tucci as...Stanley Tucci, David Caruso as a guy who should have taken more acting classes, Ving Rhames as Marsellus Wallace, and Helen Hunt star in this remake of a movie from 1947.

Rotten Tropic Wedding At Mount Banks - Fast Pitch EP 15 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

It's time for another episode of Fast Pitch.  Where we draw random words out of a sack to create a movie title, then take 15 minutes to write a "Fast Pitch" for a movie with that title.  We give our dream cast, give it a tagline, and tell you our Movie Marriage (which two movies "got together" to make this movie). Tune in to see what the guys come up with this week in Bucky's Basement.

Leaving Las Vegas - Casting Cage EP 18 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Well we finally made it.  Not to the end, no far from it. But we made it to the pinnacle of Cage's career... or did we?  Does this Oscar winning performance really  live up to the hype or was it a down year for the Oscars?  Is Elisabeth Shue a good actor, or is she just really hot?  What happened to Mike Figgis after this movie?  We'll answer some of these questions on this weeks episode of Casting Cage.

Trapped In Paradise - Casting Cage EP 17 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

It's Christmas in July on this week's episode of Casting Cage so we all put on our ugly sweaters, boiled up some egg nog (is that what you do?) and set down to torture ourselves almost as much as being with your in-laws for the holidays. (Just kidding, we all love our extended family...right?) 
Anyways, this Christmas romantic comedy is sitting at a whopping 10 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and you're probably thinking that there's no way a movie with Cage, Jon Lovitz, and Dana Carvey could be that bad...and that was our thought going into it too.  Tune in to see where we landed on this forgotten Christmas movie.  

It Could Happen To You - Casting Cage EP 16 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Deadfall - Casting Cage EP 14 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

On this week's episode of Casting Cage we've finally hit rock bottom...or have we?  The 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes would suggest that, but maybe this movie has a trick or two up its sleeve?  Tune in to find out.

Fast Pitch EP 14 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Red Rock West - Casting Cage EP 13 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

This week on Casting Cage we all got together in the basement to watch Red Rock West. This straight to HBO 90's noir film was nearly impossible to find, which is a shame for a movie starring Cage, Dennis Hopper, Laura Flynn Boyle and J.T. Walsh. Will the guys agree with the 98% score on Rotten Tomatoes or will they have a different opinion? Tune in to find out.
