Episodes
We're bringing some controversial opinions to the table this week, as we tackle Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze's Adaptation! Nic Cage is as good as ever, but we just can't escape the feeling that we'd rather be following Donny than Charlie. Please don't get mad at us.

What if John Travolta made you hack the US government while a goon hold a gun to your head and you got a b*****b? Then you'd probably be Hugh Jackman in Swordfish, Dominic Sena's *other* masterpiece!

It's all about family this week, as we boost some cars, deal with the realities of naming a character Freb, marvel at bizarre set design, contrived heroin subplots and whatever that thing is on Angelina Jolie's head - it's Gone in Sixty Seconds, and it whips.

We've got the inscrutable Travolta passion project that is L. Ron Hubbard's Battlefield Earth this week, and hoo boy, this one's a doozy. Bizarre camerawork, Korn meets Tom of Finland costuming, Forest Whitaker being debased by the movie, and for some reason Barry Pepper in a leading role. Folks, the vibes are rancid.

We've got yet another BDP classic this week, as we tackle 1998's Snake Eyes! Cage brings the fire as corrupt cop Ricky, and while De Palma hits us with all his usual flair, it's hard not to second guess some of the messages being thrown out by an otherwise fine movie.

It's finally here. After six months worth of build, Cage and Travolta finally clash in John Woo's magnum opus - Face/Off. Tremendous overacting on both men's parts, an absolutely wild horny pin-up bomb, bizarre parenting decisions and more!

We've brought in friend of the show John this week to discuss the incredible Con Air! Cage's amazing hair, an all-0star cast of various Jokers, terrible accents and off the s***s action make Con Air one of the best movies we've ever done.

Johns Woo and Travolta have come through in a big way this week, with the absolutely incredible Broken Arrow! Underground nukes, Travolta's audition for a villainous role in a Bond movie, and some all-time great deaths abound in a real treat of a movie.
Published 07/22/21
We're fully on board with the Golden Age of Cage this week, as we take a look at maximalist action masterpiece, The Rock! Watch out for Ed Harris' green orbs of death, Sean Connery's incredible drone metal hair, Tony Todd's absolutely hilarious death, and the return of an old friend.

What if an angel was horny? Travolta's here to answer the question with the absolutely bizarre Michael! Is this one of his best performances? What's up with those wings? Is Michael into GILFs? This is one of the wildest movies we've done yet!

What if you nut so hard that you f*****g died? That's pretty much all we want to talk about this week, as we "review" Leaving Las Vegas. It's a disaster episode for a disaster movie!

We're joined this week by good friend of the show Alex Keswick (@cellobuster) to discuss the actually pretty damn good Get Shorty! James Gandolfini is bringing the fire, Danny DeVito is the best around, and Travolta actually kinda feels like a movie star! You can find Alex's music at https://drn-007.bandcamp.com/

After nearly six months of freedom, Borat is back with the absolutely excruciating Borat Supplemental Reportings. It's an hour-forty of the worst goofs and gags imaginable, so you know we had to suffer through it. Sacha Baron Cohen, please retire.

Ahead of next week's return to Borat Hell, we're making some predictions about what'll surely be an agonizing experience, as well as tackling the Nic Cage classic (?) Tapped in Paradise! Is this the most miserable comedy ever made? Is Dana Carvey the worst to ever do it? What was the point of putting Madchen Amick in this turd?

We've hit Cagolta Club's first major milestone this week, with what is probably Travolta's most iconic role and best performance. Quentin Tarantino may be a real creep, but Pulp Fiction still (mostly) shine thanks to great performances - including from our boy - and a great sense of style.

Sometimes a movie is just good, is the thing. That's certainly the case this week, as we take a journey down to Wyoming to watch Red Rock West! It's the most perfect TV movie possible, as three of the greats face off in a western noir that your dad definitely would love to find on TNT on a Thursday afternoon!

Sometimes a movie peaks in the first ten minutes. We may have found the ultimate example of that with John Travolta's Look Who's Talking, a dreadful romcom with a baby that does NOT actually talk. Oh well, at least the opening is crazy.
Published 04/29/21
We can scarcely believe it possible, but we've finally found a movie that's almost as bad as Bruco; 1993's Deadfall! It's Cage at his absolute worst in a movie that nobody could give less of a shit about, but hey, at least the wig's great! PLUS we run down the horrible, dreadful Borat news! Pray for us.
Published 04/22/21
This week we're tackling what could've been one of the funniest movies ever made, if only it wasn't so f*****g boring, Staying Alive! Nothing happens in this movie, but that's okay, because we're back with Tony Manero for some absolutely hilarious Travolta closeups, and more Frank Stallone than you could ever want or need!

What happens when you make a fan-fic film based on Elvis' greatest hits? Apparently you get Honeymoon in Vegas, a movie that not only features no honeymooning, but also barely any Vegas! Instead, Cage goes absolutely wild, Sarah Jessica Parker really wants to conform to gender norms, and it all gets really, really racist when Peter Boyle shows up.

It's an absolutely monumental moment in Cagolta Club history this week; they said it couldn't be done, but we've finally found it, a good movie with John Travolta in the lead. Sure, that's partly down to Brian de Palma, John Lithgow, and the world's most bizarre frog sound effects, but we did it.
Published 03/31/21
We're joined once again by our good friend Rose to discuss 1990's Wild at Heart, by David Lynch! An incredible film, featuring one of the most grotesque men to ever live, Nic Cage's Elvis impression, and a heaping helping of Twin Peaks cast members.
Published 03/24/21
How does a movie that features dudes in mesh shirts, people getting incinerated by lightning, eggs everywhere, and a mechanical bullriding contest also manage to be one of the most boring romance-dramas ever made? Just add Travolta and a terrible Texan accent!
Published 03/18/21
We've finally arrived at possibly the greatest performance of Nic Cage's career, Vampire's Kiss! A masterpiece of overacting, soured somewhat by a very 1980's understanding of mental health issues, Vampire's Kiss is still a heck of a time. NEXT WEEK: 1980's Urban Cowboy!
