Episode 5: Deadfall/Arsenal

Welcome to the double stuffed, full Cage Rage, shit show that is
our 5th episode. This week we take a deep dive into 2 of Mr. Cage's
worse rated films of his storied career according to Rotten
Tomatoes. It's our first official double feature episode as we
tackle the Eddie King Saga. First up is Deadfall (1993) a neo-noir
film about a man who escapes to LA to find his long lost uncle
after his father is killed in a con job gone wrong. Nicolas Cage
plays hustler Eddie King in his most gonzo and over the top
performance of his career. Once again proving that not only does he
steal scenes, he fucking owns them. It's easily his most
entertaining and enjoyable roles of his career. Our second film
finds Nic reprising his role as Eddie King (who must have been
resurrected from the dead) in the direct to DVD crime thriller
Arsenal (2017). It's a film about two brothers who have the
misfortune of crossing paths with Eddie and the lengths they'll go
to protect one another. Mr. Cage is not nearly as eccentric as
Eddie this time around, however he is still the best part of this
movie. Along the way we'll also discuss the 6 best and worse rated
movies of Nic's career, what's the proper way to sample cocaine, if
Deadfall is in fact the worse movie ever made, what was the real
con of both movies and how the fuck is Eddie King still alive?
