#CageClub Revisited: Snake Eyes (1998)

Snake Eyes opens with the greatest sequence in any Nicolas Cage
movie. (Is this true? Maybe.) Cage is on fire and the suspense is
hard to beat. It's a shame, then, that the rest of the movie never
quite captures that energy. In this episode, we re-watch the movie
that inspired our love of film conspiracies (you've got to have at
least five people... it's a requirement!) while we also admire
Brian De Palma's filmmaking style, Carla Gugino's affinity for
genre pictures, and the weirdest (and slowest) shot to ever be
placed under closing credits. Stay tuned for a brand new game: Can
Mike Manzi complete the Beastie Boys lyric?! Note: Our #CageClub
Revisited episodes are meant to be listened to while watching the
movie we're discussing, a la a director's commentary. If you want
