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.

Not the bees!!! On this week's Casting Cage episode, the dudes review the infamous 2006 production of The Wicker Man. We know you've seen the memes...
With deplorable ratings from critics and fans alike, we ask "Is this movie really that bad?" Or is there more going on and it's an intricately plotted out film with subtle details and clues? You'll have to listen in for varying takes from our guys.
And we faithfully deliver What Else Was in Theaters, Movie Marriages, Taglines and our own ratings. Cause nobody does Cage like we do! Only on Bucky’s Basement.

On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's review the 2006 Oliver Stone flick: World Trade Center. With stars Nicolas Cage, Michael Pena, Michael Shannon, Maggie Gylennhall, Jon Bernthal, and Maria Bello, it's bound to be an instant classic about one of the most tragic days in U.S. history? Right? Right?....right.
Join the guys at Ground Zero as they dig through the plot, attach new Taglines, and provide some Movie Marriages covering this drama.

It's 2005. Do you know where your kids are?
This week, we have a Casting Cage episode with the dudes reviewing the Nic Cage cult classic (?), The Weather Man. Starring Hope Davis, Nicholas Hoult, and the ever talented Sir My Cocaine (Michael Caine said in a cockney accent).
We learn Bucky is in Love with Nicolas Cage (it finally happened, you guys). We also get wildly different views on who (and what) a good father is and which characters in the movie exhibit this behavior. Bring some marshmallows, yall! It's about to get heated.

Yo. We got another hum-dinger of a Fast Pitch episode for you. This week, the guy’s draw the challenging title: “Demonic Victory at Yummy Yard.” While the title certainly invokes a dark presence, you also have a light-hearted side to it. And each pitch goes in a completely different direction. We’ve got evil architecture uncovered, futuristic cyber-punk possessions, and a story about a couple running a candy store in Gatlinburg, TN.
Plus, AI churns out a generic movie that we discuss the merits of (or lack thereof). Nothing new under the sun, n’such.

On this week's Casting Cage episode, the guy's explore 2005's Lord Of War. With stars like the beautiful Jared Leto, so-so Bridget Moynahan, the talented Ethan Hawke, charming Eammon Walker, and the enigmatic Donald Sutherland(?), it's bound to be a hit, right? Right?
Loosely based off a real person, the story is that of an international drug runner profiting off war and death. Truly a picture for the times. We discuss the film in detail, give movie marriage examples, revise the movie's tagline, and deliver our contentious ratings. All for our listenership.

This week, the guy's draw the unfortunate title of "Chrome Clue Then Timid Stew" for an interesting Fast Pitch episode. Tough, tough title, but they somehow persevere: Crafted Superhero orgin stories, fallen punk rock idols, and a former game show contestant destined for better things. And AI cast Nic Cage in it's movie!! (It's definitely keeping tabs on us)
Also, Oldboy sidetracks into an embarrassing ordeal regarding sheep butts and now we all understand the mind of a lonely farmer a little better...

Ever wonder what the Founding Fathers did in their spare time? Yeah, us neither. But Nic Cage sure does in the 2004 blockbuster (?) National Treasure! Have you seen it? Yeah? And did you love it?? Yeah??? Hold on, we're going to guess how old you are....
This is one of Nic Cage's most well known movies. It's a Disney flick. It focuses on conspiracy theories, long lost treasure, and American History. Starring Sean Bean, Diane Kruger, Jon Voight, Harvey Keitel, and the dude who's in the Hangover that's hardly in the Hangover. Love it or hate it, we're going to watch it for the listenership.
