Episode 11: Wild At Heart/Joe

Welcome to our inaugural SUMMER OF CAGE, a three month theme
inspired look back into the Cagetastic film career of the one and
only Nicolas cage. For our 11th episode we have a quiet rage
character trait themed double feature. First up is the 1990 Palm
d'Or winner for Best Picture, an acid laced Wizard of Oz inspired
road trip by David Lynch entitled Wild At Heart. Nic plays Sailor,
a snake skin jacket clad convict who runs away to LA with his
nymphomaniac girlfriend Lula, as they try to escape not only his
past but her bat shit crazy mother. Our second film is the gritty
independent crime film Joe (2014), directed by David Gordon Green.
Mr. Cage plays the unassuming, grizzled foreman of a Texas tree
poisoning outfit, who hires and befriends a young pre-teen homeless
boy who is desperately trying to keep his poor family afloat and
safe from his alcoholic father. Along the way we also discuss the
top 5 busiest actors working today, we rate the 5 best and 5 worst
movies from our first 10 episodes (20 movies), we get into how
fucking difficult it was to find Wild At Heart to watch it, we dive
into how big a threat quicksand and exploding cars seemed to be as
kids and divulge our theory that Joe Ransom from "Joe" is actually
Red Miller post the events of "Mandy". Clips from: Gone in 60
