106 The Croods: A New Age (2020)

'Tis the season for gifts and joy, and what more could we ask for
than The Croods: A New Age, our second new Nicolas Cage movie of
2020?! Even better: it's Nicolas Cage's 100th acting credit! In
this episode, we return to the Stone Age (right?) after more than 7
years away to re-visit the Croods and to meet the Bettermans for
the very first time. We talk about the visual wonder of the movie,
the real-world Cagenections, and (of course) the Banana Bros.
(Plus, Wigasus, but that's so weird that it's probably best if we
just move on.) We sing the praises of Kelly Marie Tran and dream up
ways to re-team Nicolas Cage with Peter Dinklage. We also wonder if
The Croods: A New Age is the end of the road for the franchise --
or if there's another story in this world to tell -- and figure out
just how "Cagey" this movie is by running through our #CageClub
