***Full Disclosure: Our editor completely blew this week's editing budget on Reese's Minis and completely fudged up the original posted version. The sound was off. So if you downloaded that version, feel free to delete it and play this one instead!*** Now, where were we? Well we were working in the lab, late one night. When our eyes beheld an eerie sight. For our monster from the slab began to rise. And suddenly, to our surprise... ...He was Nic Cage! That's right, boys and ghouls! Brock and Bri...

It's too late to 'pologize...It's too late! After the aural assault that we laid upon their fans last episode, the boys have returned with their tails between their legs to review a normal, light-hearted, magical romp through New York City a la Nic's 2010 classic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." Brian asserts that this film is based entirely off of the Mickey Mouse "Fantasia" short of the same name. Brock asserts "Wtf are you talking about?" Before all that, the "Baruchel Bros" discuss politics, rel...

Holy buckets, y'all. Holy freaking buckets. We'll be perfectly honest. We have no idea what to write here, because we truthfully don't remember recording half of this episode... Here's what we DO know: - This is our second Live episode. Brock and Brian are back together under the same roof. - We started this recording with a full bottle of rum. We ended this recording with an empty bottle of rum. - At some point, the boys must discuss Nic Cage's 2002 film "Windtalkers," a WW2 drama. We think. - ...

***Warning, at the top. This film (and the podcast that follows) is traumatic, disturbing, and downright nasty. So, it's going to be a rough one. Fair warning. You've been warned. Can't say we didn't warn ya. Achtung, baby!*** That's right, mother'sdaughters! Surprise! I bet you all thought we were watching Windtalkers this week. But we switched up the game, we seized the opportunity, we claimed our birthright, and we jumped way ahead to watch Nic Cage's festival circuit darling, his (at one tim...

Where were you when the world stopped turning? Yeah? We're going to start on this note? Hoo boy...strap in and get your tissues ready for this one. The boys (respectfully) watched the 2006 Nic Cage film "World Trade Center," a drama about the titular buildings that were attacked by terrorists and the heroes that were trapped beneath them. Yep. But it's also a Nic Cage film...so...take that for what it's worth. Before all that, the gentlemen scholars take you lucky listeners on a (respectful) win...

Whoa, we're halfway there. Whoa. Oh. Living on a prayer. Take our hands, the boys watched Nic Cage's 1998 crime thriller "Snake Eyes," we swear. A somewhat confusing and ambitious film directed by Brian de Palma (of "Scarface" and "The Untouchables" fame) co-starring Gary Sinise and world-famous actress Carla Gugino. Before/after/around all that, the boys play a hot & boozy wet mouth game (which, coincidentally, describes Brock's college reputation). They look forward to the future. And Broc...

I'm a vampire. You're a vampire. She's a vampire. 'Cause we're all vampires, hey! Oh goodness. Oh man. Oh boy. And oh geez. This is the big one, folks. The big Kahuna. The big enchilada. This is not a drill. The boys have finally cashed in on all of their Nic Cage movie gambles and went full tilt this week. It paid off with a chance to watch 1988's thriller (?) vampire (?) film "Vampire's Kiss." This entire cinematic experience is PEAK Cage from tip to tip. It's the meme-worthy classic that does...

Almost paradise, we're knocking on heaven's door. Trapped in Paradise, we expected so much more.... That's right. The faithful and dedicated boys sat down to watch 1994's Nic Cage, Dana Carvey, and Jon Lovitz holiday team-up "Trapped in Paradise." Oh boy...Oh boy boy boy. Before all that, Brock and Brian discussed the Princess of Pop Tay Tay and her amazing performance, the true Christmas spirit, proper restaurant etiquette, and dining (forever) alone. Let's get into it. Find us on our Social Me...

Ugh. Just...ugh. *sigh*... Just when we thought we were out, Nic pulls us back in! The boys took a trip back to the Castle Period in order to watch his 2018 craptacular effort "211." Yep. That is the title of a movie alright. Do with it what you will. Before they plumb those depths, however, they give a little more follow-up on their respective weekends, and they get to the bottom of what the hell is wrong with young children (hint: It's Brian's "Controversial Take of the Week!"). Let's get into...

Never Fear, because Brock and Brian are here. But oh my goodness! Thank god Brock was brave and quick-witted and resourceful enough to rescue Brian from the clutches of that nefarious, underground, evil group of organized criminals in time to record a podcast episode this week! Sincerely, for those of you that depend on us for weekly content, we apologize that we were forced to record and release the podcast a few days later than usual and deliver it to your earholes. But also sincerely, don't b...

We work hard (they work hard!). Every day of our life. We work 'til we ache in our bones. At the end of the day, we take home my hard earned pay all our own! We get down on our knees, and we start to pray, 'til the tears run down from our eyes! Speaking of tear-jerkers, this week the gentlemen fancypantsers watched 2006's animated, ant-related offering (No, not THAT movie. No, nor THAT one either...) "The Ant Bully." Nicolas Cage, Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts, Paul Giamatti, sex-cult leader Allis...

You drink a whiskey drink, you drink a lager drink, you drink a vodka drink, you drink a cider drink. You sing the songs that remind you of the good times, you sing the songs that remind you of anything but this god-awful excuse for a cinematic movie. That's right. The lovable boys watched the 1995 David Caruso/Nic Cage action crime thriller "Kiss of Death." It...it was problematic. Before that, the boys talk about their weekends, give more insight into the movies that they'll actually pay to se...

If you want to be our lover, you will HAVE to get with our friends. Make it last forever. This podcast experience never ends. Speaking of getting with friends, the boys are joined this week by another boy. A handsome boy. A good boy. A... "fanboy?" The oft-mentioned JK himself, Jon Keepers joins us for this watch of the 1992 rom-com Honeymoon in Vegas. Before we hop into the juicy deets of this film, we take a long trip down memory lane, we play a few one-sided games, we talk about some of our b...

"How funky is your chicken?" My chicken's really funky. "How loose is your goose?" My goose is totally loose. "Now come on, you Cage Gaugers, and shake your caboose."We're shaking our caboose. The fellas could not conceive their luck when they got the privilege of watching Nic Cage's 2017 thriller (an ACTUAL thriller this time!) "Inconceivable." The tale of a person who can't conceive, and...and Nic Cage for some reason. But most importantly, it's a tale of Barry. You'll find out. Before we try ...

It was the best of times, it was the worst of films... Well, to be honest, it wasn't the worst. It was one of the shortest, so it had that going for it. That's right. Brock and Brian watched Nic Cage's holiday dud "Christmas Carol: The Movie" or "A Christmas Carol" or whatever other name they gave it. From 2001. Nobody asked for this film. Nobody needed this film. The producers, actors, and crew spent so much time asking if they COULD make this film, they forgot to ask if they SHOULD make this f...

You can pick your podcasts. You can pick your nose. But you can't pick your podcaster's nose. I always say. Anywho, the boys lied down (layed down? lay down?...) The boys settled down and watched Nic Cage's 1993 epic saga, "Amos & Andrew." Co-starring Samuel L Jackson, this film had it all: racism, pedophilia, and just *horrible, horrible* acting and writing and production. Before, during, and after all that, the gentlemen discuss their 4th of July vacations, the cool new versions of themsel...

Well, can you tell her to take this hunk of garbage back to her homeland so we never have to see it again? Look, people, I don't know how you planned on spending your Independence Day, but if you want to listen to us give our opinions on this 2012 Taken knock-off, starring Nic Cage and the aforementioned Malin Akerman, we'...

Well, it's a hot one. 'Bout seven inches from the midday sun, if I had to guess.Picture this: The year is 2011. The same year that brought us both "Drive" and "Drive Angry." Only one of those films stars Nic Cage, and only one of those films is a complete turd. Because why Drive, without specifying how angrily one should do so? But before all that, the boys chat about their weekends, puppet shows, surprise parties, and Brian has a little Breaking News to share with our beloved listener base. Enj...

You're a witch, Harry!That's right. This week, the gentlemen watched a 2011 Nic Cage offering, "Season of the Witch." Bad CGI? Check. Overacting? Check. Shoddy accent work? Absolutely Check. Before that, the boys discuss their favorite Disney songs, they discuss their work environment, and they perform the "Lemon & Tabasco challenge" in honor of Nic Cage's peculiar eating habits in The Trust.

Do you trust me? Do you trust me?!?(...yyyesss...?)I can show you the world. Shining, shimmering, splendid. Speaking of splendid, Brian and Brock watched Nic Cage's 2016 heist movie "The Trust."In typical We Gauge Cage fashion, they had some strong opinions on it and on Nic's performance in it. What way did those opinions blow? I'll never tell. Before all that, the boys look back on half a year of Nic Cage-based podcasting glory, they discuss the Taylor Swift party fallout, and they kick off a r...

Guard your jewels, gird your loins, and strap in for this week's episode!Brian and Brock watched Nic Cage's 2008 film "Bangkok Dangerous," where Nic tries his hand at being a dangerous hitman in, you guessed it, Bangkok! He really puts the ass in assassin, folks. Before that, they discuss their past and future weekend plans, they spin some yarns of their most awkward dates, and they try to forget all abo...

A live and in-person podcast! No Skype! No holding back! No filter!Brian and Brock cozied up together on the couch in suburban Minnesota and watched Nic Cage's 1986 biopic "The Boy in Blue."

They say that diamonds are a man's best friend. And we here at We Gauge Cage are diamond-friendly. Because diamonds make us happy. This week, the young men of We Gauge Cage attempted to watch "Trespass," a 2011 hostage/diamond-centric movie starring Nicolas Cage, Nicole Kidman, and Ben Mendelsohn. Woof. It...it wasn't good. Before all that, the boys discuss the British royal family, have some housekeeping items from Ghost Rider, and get the crowd hype for next week. Special birthday shout-outs t...

That's right. The original Ghost Rider. Fresh out the packaging. It's crazy to think that the events of this film would have such direct tie-ins and spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War, but Marvel was clearly playing the long game from the very beginning. Where were we? That's right - Brock and Brian plopped on down and watched themselves a 2007 Nic Cage classic - "Ghost Rider." Was it any good? Did they prefer this movie over the sequel? Do the two films have anything to do with each other? You...

Well what do you know? Our podcast is old enough to buy itself a beer and get a little buzzed. Speaking of buzzed, the boys watched the 2016 Nic Cage film "USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage." Why haven't you heard about this film or the historical event that it was based off of until now? History and mystery, baby. History. And Mystery. Before the boats and sharks and torpedo-talk, the gentlemen discuss Brock's travel abroad, Brian's allergies, more of Brian's allergies, and we might have mention...

We can't be too late, to say that we were so wrong...Look, folks, it's the Castle Period. Brian and Brock plopped their weary bones on down and watched the 2017 rape drama "Vengeance: A Love Story" this week. They both came to the conclusion that this particular movie is in a dog fight with Dog Eat Dog for on...

And...Look, we don't quite get it either, and we actually sat through this turd. That's right. This week the boys watched the 2015 Nic Cage spooky ghost film "Pay the Ghost" (in case you had any misconceptions on the title. It's "Pay the Ghost," by the way.) How many times can we say Pay the Ghost in a podcast description? You'll find out...but only if you P...

The paddy is officially legal, everybody! Legal to vote, to smoke, to buy itself some naughty magazines, to...I mean, we don't know what 18-yr-olds do with their time nowadays. But on to more important, Cagier things. The boys (eventually) sat down and watched Nic Cage's 1989 Italian film titled Tiempo di Uccidere. Or, "Time to Kill," for the English-speaking layperson. It's a real rapey, leprositic, snooze-inducing romp through the African safari. Before all that, we get a weather update, we ge...

We left a perfectly good "Good Luck With Your Hamster Balls" joke sitting right there, on the table, and we didn't go for it. Maybe it's because we're not that smart. Or funny. Or maybe it's that we're not living up to our full potential. Or...maybe it's because we were distracted by our beautiful, intelligent, quixotic, charming guest this week!That's correct.
