Snake Eyes (1998) - S09 E68

Welcome back for another episode in Dan’s “Coming of Cage” season. This week we’re taking a gamble with Brian De Palma’s 1998 neo-noir thriller Snake Eyes, starring, of course, everybody’s favourite national treasure, Nicolas Cage. Strap in for a ride through Atlantic City as we witness Cage’s charismatic but corrupt detective, Rick Santoro, unravel a sinister conspiracy that goes all the way to the top. We dissect that legendary opening one-take sequence, analysing De Palma’s signature style and cinematography. Be prepared for hot takes on terrible shirts, questionable romances and a certain tidal wave that should have made it into the final cut of the film.   It’s fight night baby! Season 9 runs until 24th February.  Would you like to see the full lineup for season 9? The only place we announce our schedule is over on Patreon and you don't even need to be a paying member.
