I think it's bogus to say that Nicolas Cage didn't "transform himself". He has mentioned in interviews that the version of himself in this movie is actually very diffeent from who he is in real life. He is not neurotic, or crazy, or annoying. The actual Cage (mentioned by him)) is actually very chill, reserved and sometimes shy. The cage in the film is more a representaiton of his cinematic self.
When your an actor trying to get into character is that your being another person. Cage being in his own cinematic character was hilarious but being his real self, the audience wouldn’t be interested
I've always thought Nick Cage was one of the best actors alive but that his eccentric personality got in his own way..But I'm glad he's getting back to his fun loving roots. ❤
This movie reminds me of “Being John Malkovich” (being in the head of a notable character actor) with the meta-reference of how celebrity and reality intersect. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Being_John_Malkovich It’s even more intriguing with this movie is how much the media perception of Nicolas Cage (the spending, the extreme acting, slumming it in subpar projects, etc.) overshadows his talent. I also see some resemblance with the movie and Confessions of a Dangerous Mind: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Dangerous_Mind_(film) It it’s even more meta that the actor Pedro Pascal is a huge Nicholas Cage fan and playing a character (Javi) that is a huge Nicholas Cage fan. I’m really intrigued about this movie and I hope it gets Nicholas Cage some positive attention (his performance in “Pig” was highly praised).
It’s also very similar to Adaptation. - another filming starring two Nicolas Cages and written by Charlie Kaufman (same as Being John Malkovich) - in which the movie increasingly becomes a parody of itself
The middle of the movie is worth the price of admission. The LSD trip is one of the funniest segments of a movie this year, so far. Unfortunately, the beginning is slow, and the end is every 2000's buddy action-comedy script that you've ever seen. I agree with Martin, I wish they had kept the focus on the meta friendship between Cage and a superfan millionaire.
So I dont know if you caught this but there is alot of movie Editing Easter eggs. There is a scene with a dutch angle shot like Gone in Sixty Seconds The scene where Him and Pedro walking towards each other is shot like Face-Off The car chase scene is shot like the car chase scene on The Rock There so many easter egg camera shots from other films like that throughout the movie. I think the films structure is deliberate and makes it more funny.
I LOVED this film.. there was just something surreal about it at first but it does suck you in his world.. and it's fantastic!! Nic and Pedro's chemistry was the best part of the film imo
8/10 Had a lotta fun with this- tons of laugh out loud moments- great chemistry between nick and Pedro.. gotta a little dull in moments of the third act but left smiling at the end-
Pedro Pascal has the best voice for everything.As Mando I love his voice and even in WW 1984 it has problems but he was having fun.Also unlike Ezra Miller her doesn't break the law.LOL!
I once took part in a short film where all the background props were photos of Nicolas Cage in period piece military outfits. What made it especially weird is that film was mock cooking show. Best film title ever though: ‘Cooking with Seamen: Monsters of rock, featuring kitty chow’. Interpret that how you will.
Not hating on you, but what you described just sounds gratuitously random. Try-hard weird. Actually, it would probably go over great with teens, now that I really consider it. 🤷♂️
Even though the ratings weren't as high as I expected, you still got me more excited to see it. The first R-Rated movies I saw at the theater was Con-Air and Face/Off in Summer of 1997. I'm going to try and get some friends to see this or The Northman this weekend, or both.
Absolutely concur! Although they did a Bad Movie Reviw on Ghost Rider, they should review some of his greats. I think Matchstick Men does not get mentioned enough.
In some parts of this review. It has me questioning if you fully understand the *CAGE*. 😂 That’s like the best way I could explain it. It seems like you do Korey. Loved the Nicky alter ego that he talks to from that interview awhile back.
Tiffany in the Card Counter was supposed to be a serious role but she kinda just says her lines and doesn't seem to embody the character. It might be that she was intimidated by the role and learned her lines but not loosened up.
Thanks....I finished watching the movie about 30 mins ago and I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. And I saw the Oath less than a month ago.
At first I thought this was gonna be Nicolas Cage’s Birdman when I saw the scenes with the younger Nic Cage, but it’s a lot more of straight forward meta action comedy. Pedro pascal really is great - it’s a low Matinee for me
Cage has been pumping out movies lately, some he is phoning in. But he's also had a few gems in the last couple of years. Check out Color Out of Space, a solid horror flick based pretty closely on the HP Lovecraft story.
I am going to see this movie in a few minutes and I have to say I am so looking forward to the beginning but not the end so much. Why can’t it just be Nick Cage being Nick Cage and not go for the violent CIA stuff.
I think you guys missed horrendously on the third act. The action was supposed to be pointless, unnecessary, and shoehorned in. They even comment on that during the movie. That’s the point. To act like they just mailed in the third act feels kind of disingenuous
I ended up leaving this movie because it cut off midmovie and there was a power outage but this movie was so boring I was not sad about missing the ending
Wow are you actually able to have a conversation?? I’m going to give it a try RELUCTANTLY I’ve always wanted to learn Portuguese its embarrassing I can’t speak Spanish I want to see you speak Turkish first
Corey evaded from the major reason of using Bable, to learn the language of women..said turkish...be we all know. Other than that it overall sounds like a good app for expanding languages and even culture as an outcome..I would probably get it to learn english...but it seems to pander towards immigrants and weird unnecessary languages. These days ya'll can't trust any of these GMO languages...Coreys wife is probably not even turkish..sad how fame can make people act like prostitutes for likes. Thankfully Im JW..so got my seat booked in paradise and shouldn't really mind whatever these infidels do.
Remember when Pedro Pascal was in Gal Gadot's "Imagine" video, which killed our views on celebrities, their privilege and their intelligence? Yeah, screw that Guy.

If his cinematic self is always the same that’s not transformative..
@@AJ-WuzHere it´s not always the same though
Nah he is unstable, maybe not always outwardly eccentric but he's put himself in money troubles multiple times from his insane impulse buys
Or rather the meme representation of himself.
When your an actor trying to get into character is that your being another person. Cage being in his own cinematic character was hilarious but being his real self, the audience wouldn’t be interested
I've always thought Nick Cage was one of the best actors alive but that his eccentric personality got in his own way..But I'm glad he's getting back to his fun loving roots. ❤
This movie not only looks weird, but it looks like it embraces its weirdness with a warm hug.
Sounds like my kind of movie! I’m game!
You'll Love it
Don't you mean a BEAR hug? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@mttylerdurden9 Of course. It's Nicholas Cage. You can't just have a regular hug. It's gotta be a hug turned up to 11.
@@mttylerdurden9 An unBEARable hug you mean 😭🤣🤣😬
Im not gonna lie. This movie is way better than it had any business being.
I got to see this last week and it is hilarious. Pedro Pascal steals the show. watch this movie you're going to enjoy it.
Yes I saw this yesterday, the scene with both of them trying to get over the wall was funny. 😂
It's always a crazy time when the Cage Meister is around XD
Did Martin say, "Super easy, barely an inconvenience...." 😃
Nicolas Cage is an absolute legend. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

Nicolas Cage and Jeff Goldblum should play brothers in a movie… Any movie.
That sounds volatile as hell.
I would watch it. 😁

Thanks for *SPOILING EVERYTHING, BUDDY* ! You are appreciated 👍.

The scene of them on LSD was the highlight of the movie to me. That scene kept me laughing minutes after the fact.
The concept reminds me of the Amazon show, Jean Claude Van Johnson. Hyper aware, tongue-in-cheek, over-the-top fiction
Man! I wished that continued.
I can't wait to see this movie Nicolas Cage going full Cage in a self aware movie with an actual competent script, and Pedro Pascal is such a bonus.
What happened to Ben gates national treasure...i guee abragail broke up with him again lol
One should never go Full Cage, but here we are...And I'm loving it!
Watched it last night, Pedro Pascal is great in this flick, and Cage proves he can still make a good flick when he wants to.
I got to respect that no matter what movie nick cage does he's never not giving it 100 percent
I LOVED this film.. there was just something surreal about it at first but it does suck you in his world.. and it's fantastic!! Nic and Pedro's chemistry was the best part of the film imo
"Super easy. Barely an inconvenience."?... Martin a Pitch Meeting fan? :)
Pitch Meeting references are _tight_
Oh my God, I can’t wait until Ryan George makes a Pitch Meeting video about the unbearable weight of massive talent😅😅
I love when the little dog comes into frame. lol
8/10
Had a lotta fun with this- tons of laugh out loud moments- great chemistry between nick and Pedro.. gotta a little dull in moments of the third act but left smiling at the end-
So… *The Interview* but with Nicholas Cage and The Mandalorian?
Nic Cage is a legend
Pedro Pascal has the best voice for everything.As Mando I love his voice and even in WW 1984 it has problems but he was having fun.Also unlike Ezra Miller her doesn't break the law.LOL!
This movie was great, Pedro stole the show
I only want to know if this is the most Nicolas Cage movie that Nicolas Cage has ever let out the Cage
I once took part in a short film where all the background props were photos of Nicolas Cage in period piece military outfits. What made it especially weird is that film was mock cooking show. Best film title ever though: ‘Cooking with Seamen: Monsters of rock, featuring kitty chow’. Interpret that how you will.

Nicolas Cage didn't have to transform? So you think he's actually as crazy as his roles are? It's called acting
You guys should do Retro review of Face/Off one day.
As great as Nick is I still cant imagine him as Superman
I soooo want to run into him out here in Vegas one time lol
Screen rant … Quote!! Super easy barely inconvenience
I still can’t get over that game of thrones scene lol. I was traumatized
You guys should do more nic cage reviews. Both good and bad. Retro review for face off.
Absolutely concur! Although they did a Bad Movie Reviw on Ghost Rider, they should review some of his greats. I think Matchstick Men does not get mentioned enough.
Hopefully there are references past 6y because that's where i just come back in watching Nick Cage movies.
Every single nicholas cage movie has a documentary on nicholas cage movies
In his defense, The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari is a really fun film from Weimar era Germany.
Korey mangling 'Words'? I don't believe it!
So on board for this movie.
Those two clips were not from Vampires Kiss.
This movie pays respect to Paddington 2, ergo I’m sold.
I’m 31 and for me Nicholas cage will always be national treasure guy lol.
Makes sense for your age. I’m 42 and he’ll always be The Rock/Con Air/Face-Off guy. 😂
In some parts of this review. It has me questioning if you fully understand the *CAGE*. 😂 That’s like the best way I could explain it. It seems like you do Korey. Loved the Nicky alter ego that he talks to from that interview awhile back.
So looking forward to the bad guys review :D
Nick Cage has a few movies I like but have never been a fan of his. After watching this movie, he has turned me around on that stance.
So Javier is a crazy version of Elvis The Alien
Y'all are my favorite podcasters
Tiffany in the Card Counter was supposed to be a serious role but she kinda just says her lines and doesn't seem to embody the character. It might be that she was intimidated by the role and learned her lines but not loosened up.
Never thought I'd see the day when Cory becomes a shipper. XD
Nick Cage didn't know this was a movie until last Tuesday
Sounds like that JCVD show on Amazon
Have y'all done a review of JCVD on here? I feel like I've seen you talk about it before, but can't remember. It's a pretty solid flick.
Is korey gonna dress up as the easter bunny? XD
Con Air is my favorite Nicholas Cage movie lol
Cool to see Tiffany and Ike in another movie together again. They were married in that movie The Oath which is underrated
Thanks....I finished watching the movie about 30 mins ago and I couldn't remember where I had seen him before. And I saw the Oath less than a month ago.
Tiffany and Ike should have their own movie.
Corey, may I introduce you to slash fiction? Lol
Check out the epic Birdy.i think it's cages best work. Cage forever !!!!!!
🤘🏻🎱🤘🏻
Pedro Pascal co staring alongside Nicolas Cage is like watching AJ Styles vs John Cena. Like The Rock vs Hogan. You know what I’m saying
Watch my fav nic cage movie Mandy!!!
I told yall this was nuts 🤣🤣
At first I thought this was gonna be Nicolas Cage’s Birdman when I saw the scenes with the younger Nic Cage, but it’s a lot more of straight forward meta action comedy.
Pedro pascal really is great - it’s a low Matinee for me
Can you please spoiler review "The man that fell to earth, 2022" with Chiwetel Ejiofor. The cinematography so far in my opinion, is outstanding!
In his recent Ama he claimed he was going to take dramatic roles more
He took the cash in route and took FULL advantage. Big ups to the CAAAAAGEEEE!!!
Cage has been pumping out movies lately, some he is phoning in. But he's also had a few gems in the last couple of years. Check out Color Out of Space, a solid horror flick based pretty closely on the HP Lovecraft story.
Not to mention Pig too. He was great in that.
I've Always liked "Crazy" Nicolas Cage....
SCRAPING AT THE DOOR!
I am going to see this movie in a few minutes and I have to say I am so looking forward to the beginning but not the end so much. Why can’t it just be Nick Cage being Nick Cage and not go for the violent CIA stuff.
Good morning y’all
Balearic Islands memories... 🙂
You gotta watch Deadfall.
I just watched one of his more recent movies, Pig. I enjoyed it. It was good.
I think you guys missed horrendously on the third act. The action was supposed to be pointless, unnecessary, and shoehorned in. They even comment on that during the movie. That’s the point. To act like they just mailed in the third act feels kind of disingenuous
These guys need Deadfall 1995, his craziest part and only in it for an hour of the movie.
I feel that you could do something like this replacing Nic Cage with DiCaprio or Brad Pitt.
I feel like that kind of already happened with once upon a time in Hollywood?
This was a good movie and very funny,I loved it....watch it,you won't be disappointed
This movie was so good, when Nicolas Cage play as Nicolas Cage in movie.
And remember... ABC. Always Be Caging. 😎
I fkn love this movie!
Are the toasties ready for easter?
i couldnt like it, it was a drag for me no stars
It's funny I just got an email for early screening of this
Ha ha "women he date his own age"
Babble do Spanish?
Nicolas cage knows how to be crazy
It's a gift.
I ended up leaving this movie because it cut off midmovie and there was a power outage but this movie was so boring I was not sad about missing the ending
Wow are you actually able to have a conversation?? I’m going to give it a try RELUCTANTLY I’ve always wanted to learn Portuguese its embarrassing I can’t speak Spanish I want to see you speak Turkish first
Corey evaded from the major reason of using Bable, to learn the language of women..said turkish...be we all know.

Thankfully Im JW..so got my seat booked in paradise and shouldn't really mind whatever these infidels do.
Jesus Christ that AD was like 5 Minutes long lol just sell your shit quick and continue we don’t need 5-6 minutes for an app none of us will use
Why must the title of every movie like this be so uncreative?
Mera boting
Maaaannnn... F*CK Nicholas Cage...he ruined Ghost Rider...🤬🤬🤬🤬🖕🏾🖕🏾🖕🏾
Remember when Pedro Pascal was in Gal Gadot's "Imagine" video, which killed our views on celebrities, their privilege and their intelligence? Yeah, screw that Guy.
really dog we judging people off one mistake none are without mistakes
I’m not gon rewatch Face/off I’ll accept remembering it growing up. It was believable
They had an episode of that on inside job 😅 it looked like how the joker looked in gotham when his face was stapled back on
