GBW #44: Cage Match Vol. 2 - Caged Emotions (Adaptation / Dying of the Light / The Weather Man)

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more! This week, Chris and Ryan dive into their second "Cage Match," this time about Nicolas Cage dramas. We start with director Spike Jonze and writer Charlie Kaufman's brilliant "Adaptation" (with a top-tier, dual-role performance from Cage), Paul Schrader's taken-away-in-post-production "Dying of the Light" with a committed Cage but sloppily put together, before rounding out with Gore Verbinski's strange, idiosyncratic (and a strange favorite of Ryan's) "The Weather Man." You can find this and future episodes on our website thegoodbadwhat.com. You can subscribe to our show on Apple Podcasts, Anchor.fm, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeartRadio, Google Podcasts, and more!
