Episode 112: Ridley Scott Watch Series #14: MATCHSTICK MEN (2003)

Curtis, John, and Quinn return to the Ridley Scott watch series to discuss his 2003 crime comedy, MATCHSTICK MEN. We spend A LOT of time talking about Nicholas Cage, our favourite scenes, and how much of a departure it is from the regular Ridley Scott fare. Before we discuss the film, we chat about some news of the week, including the latest movie releases, and discuss what we watched this week. Next week we will return for a selection from Quinn's canon, discussing William Friedkin classic: THE FRENCH CONNECTION.
