Episode 12: Gone In 60 Seconds/Drive Angry

It’s our second Cagetastic installment of the SUMMER OF CAGE and
boy is it a testosterone filled one. For our 12th episode we
explore some of Mr. Cage’s fuel injected flicks with a “Fast
& The Furious” themed double feature. Up first is the summer
block buster heist movie that inspired aspects of the Grand Theft
Auto video game series and had us all exclaiming “Ok, let’s ride”
before we went cruising. Nic plays professional car thief,
Memphis Rains in Dominic Sena’s Gone In 60 Seconds (2000). On
deck in our second feature Nicolas Cage plays John Milton, a
criminal hellbent on getting revenge for crimes committed against
his family by a Satanic Cult who’ve taken his granddaughter
hostage. With the help of a foul mouthed, ass kicking sexpot and
her bad ass muscle car they fuck shit up in Patrick Lussier’s
action flick Drive Angry (2011). Along the way we also discuss
the glaring flaws with Anchor’s app, Joel Schumacher’s death,
movie roles Mr. Cage has turned down over the years, stereotypes
& cultural appropriation in films and the sexual magnetism of
the dead.
