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. Listen now and explore more at buckysbasement.com

It's time for another episode of "Break Up Letters" here on the Bucky's Basement Podcast, and this one is big...for Bucky. He reads his break up letter to Jack White as Juicebox and Oldboy question why he couldn't just, ya know, listen to Jack a little less?

1986 saw the release of the movie "Peggy Sue Got Married", introducing the world to the early eccentricities of Nic Cage and some questionable "accent" choices made by the actor. The guys delve into the Academy Award nominated movie, question the point of the film, and wonder if it's all just a trap. Go on and marinate on that for a minute.

Getting Bucky to play and review videogames went easier than expected when we pitched playing WWE 2K23. But can being wrestling fans alone overcome a game with badly designed mechanics? The guys elbow drop this game from the top ropes with their review in this week's "My Thumbs Hurt/Brand Noob-ian" episode

Sometimes it's better to let go of something you love than to stick with it, wishing it were something different, something better. This week, Oldboy breaks up with his long-time love interest, Star Wars. It's not you, Star Wars, it's him. Trust us.

Ever wonder what it was like to grow up in Southern California during the early 80's? If shopping malls, rad lingo, gratuitous nudity, and sushi served at high-school house parties were what you had in mind, you would be suspiciously correct. This early Nic Cage movie has all the teenage angst you could expect from privileged white kids. Join us as we explore the 1980's classic (?). Like, totally, puffed out to the max. For sure. Totally.

Join us for our first ever "Fast Pitch" episode, where the guys put their backs against the wall (and clock) as they create a movie pitch from a randomized movie title. This week, they each drew One word titles and created separate movie pitches. Listen in as we hear pitches for "Above" by Oldboy, "Devilry" by Juicebox, and "Fairies" by Bucky. Stick around to hear Bucky's cast for Fairies. It's soooo good.

Welcome to Bucky's Basement, a Brand New podcast from the guys behind the Raising Nashville Podcast. This episode re-introduces Bucky, Juicebox, and Oldboy along with topics and episode content you can expect to hear this season, namely:
Fast Pitch: episodes where the guys are given randomly selected movie titles and must pitch a movie idea with cast, tagline, and movie marriage within 15 minutes.
Casting Cage: The guys are watching Nic Cage's catalog of movies in chronological order and rating the movie, along with his performance (so you don't have to).
My Thumbs Hurt: While Juicebox and Oldboy are old-hands at videogames, Bucky is not. The guys explore select videogames and discuss the finer points of the medium, much to the chagrin of Bucky.
Break-up Letters: While we are heavy on the nostalgia in Bucky's Basement, it can sometimes be a bad thing. These episodes are where one of the guys has decided to "break-up" with a part of his past and to let go of certain pop-culture nostalgia
