CAGE MATCH: F*CK FANGS

The Good, The Pod and The Ugly will trace the historic and maximalist acting career of Nicolas Cage through 20 of his films over the course of 10 episodes. How the 20 films were picked is simple: We argued about them. Two films will be paired from our master list based on theme and each episode we'll present our latest Cage Match.

For week one it is from Thomas, LITERARY NICOLAS CAGE as we cover Vampire's Kiss (1989) and Adaptation (2002). Cage plays a writer or an editor in each.  Well, he technically  plays TWO writers in Adaptation. Anyway, writing plays a part in each. Also Chris Cooper's teeth!!

In Kiss Cage plays the quintessential 1980s yuppie, a Manhattan literary editor, whose life starts unraveling as he kinda sorta transforms into a vampire. Flashdance is in this movie, either as a vampire or an ex. We aren't entirely sure. 

In Adaptation he plays Charlie and Donald Kauffman. Charlie is hired to adapt a book about orchids but ends up making the script - and movie - about Charlie Kauffman. Alternate title: CHARLIE TWITTER.

Ken and Jack will be joined ALL SEASON by fan favorite Thomas, who is an expert in all things Cage.
