Episode 4: Lord of War/Dog Eat Dog

For our fourth episode we take a look at two films bipolar in tone
from one another. The first is an engrossing thriller about gun
running that is one of Nic's truly under appreciated and overlooked
films, Lord of War (2005). Mr. Cage gives one of his most
even-keeled and spot on performances of his career; while also
demonstrating his narration chops. In the second film he is joined
on screen by the equally talented Willem Dafoe in a bat shit crazy,
off-kilter crime thriller called Dog Eat Dog (2016). It is Dafoe
who out Cage's Mr. Cage in this bizarre, loosely plotted yet fun
wild ride of a movie. What the movie lacks in substance it makes up
for in wild dialogue and violent sequences. Along the way we'll
discuss Nic's connection to Kesha, why you should never use AirPods
to record a podcast remotely, if Nic and Willem have the same
acting style and if Mr. Dafoe masturbates in all of his movies.
