Season of the Witch - Casting Cage Ep 49 - Bucky's Basement Podcast

Two Crusade Bros have had enough of the Holy Land — too much sun, too much guilt, too many swords in too many people. They desert, wander back to Europe, and find the whole continent has gone janky.    Plague everywhere. Crops dead. Vibes: rancid. Hair: surprisingly good. The culprit? A witch. Obvs.   When has a woman ever not been responsible for a continent-wide supernatural catastrophe? Classic.   So our boys get voluntold to escort this alleged witch to a monastery, where some monks will presumably sort it all out with prayers and vibes. Along the way: moral ambiguity, crew drama, and enough medieval atmosphere to make you grateful for antibiotics.   Oh, and everyone has American accents. Make of that what you will. Some have called it a bold subtext on the American military-industrial complex. Most have called it a choice.   Now — the twist. She's not a witch. She's a demon. A green demon. With an Eastern European gangster accent. Because nobody had ever done that before, and honestly, after watching this movie, you'll understand why.   The cast is genuinely stacked — Nic Cage, Ron Perlman, Christopher Lee, Claire Foy, Stephen Graham — all doing their best in a film that is not repaying that favor.   Will they make it to the monastery? Will the demon's accent hold up? Is green the right color for evil? Only one way to find out...   Because nobody does Cage like we do. Only on Bucky's Basement.
