Episodes

Episode 116 - The Carpenter's Son
Hiya, dear listener! A quick disclaimer for this week: We had a lot of fun talking about The Carpenter's Son (2025) - a "biblical fiction" movie in which Nic Cage plays the biblical St. Joseph, adoptive father of Jesus. Please note that any criticisms we have are aimed at the movie itself and not...

Episode 115 - The Surfer
"Ahh bro it's just like dude you get the best barrels ever dude. Just like you pull in and you just get spit right out of 'em and you just drop in and just smack like whapaa! Drop down snap-BARRALALAA! And then after that you just drop in and just ride the barrel and get pitted so pitted like...

-
Episode 113 - Longlegs
1 Star! Ever since I was just a little boy, I've always loved daddy longlegs! To be clear, I HATE spiders, but love, love, love, me a good DLL (which are opiliones, NOT spiders, yuck!). They are an ancient, non-venomous species who cluster together stay warm - how cute is that??? So imagine my...
-
Episode 112 - Arcadian
This week, we watched Nicolas Cage's A Quiet Place aka Arcadian (2024), finally (Steve had a work thing). After a long reprieve, Hanna and Steve are back and better than ever!!! Except...they really don't know what certain words mean. Here are some helpful definitions: Arcadian - relating to an...

Episode 111 - Dream Scenario
zzZZzz...zzZZzz...huh? What? Who goes there? Shhhh, it's okay, baby, it's just your favorite podcasters infiltrating your dreams to tell you about the brand new Nicolas Cage/A24 collaboration. The movie is Dream Scenario (2023) and it might just be one of the highest rated flicks of the year, and...
-
Episode 110 - The Retirement Plan
Welcome back everyone! First time in a long time that Hanna and Steve go back-to-back with some pods. You might say we're...ready for RETIREMENT??? My goodness - is that the greatest joke ever told? Wow...we did it... Anywho - happy listening to our latest installment of this Nicolas Cage...
-
Episode 109 - Butcher’s Crossing
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo! We watched Butcher's Crossing, and boy do we have thoughts...
-
Episode 108 - Sympathy for the Devil
Great Nicolas Cage screams + a below average plot = Sympathy for the Devil (2023)...Actually it equals, like, A LOT of Nic's movies, but this one is certainly one of them. Not sure what else to say, but we had some fun chatting about this flick and cutting in some incredible moments, so enjoy!...
-
Episode 107 - Dead by Daylight
Greetings goblins and ghouls! And welcome to a very special episode of Through Nic and Thin where we played a bit of Nicolas Cage's first foray into the world of video games! Hope you all don't mind that this especially spooky podcast is a few days late (but certainly not $33 short, eh? Eh? It...
-
Episode 106 - The Flash
SPOILER ALERT Nicolas Cage is in the movie The Flash (2023). If you are at all curious about the movie and are looking for a detailed breakdown, this podcast is not for you. BUT, oh my that's a big BUT, if you're looking for two lovable hosts blabber about the most random cameo this side of the...
-
Episode 105 - Renfield
Hey y'all! We watched the omnipresent Renfield (2023) where Nic finally plays one of his three all time desired roles of Dracula (listen to find out the other two). I'd describe the movie overall as hyper violent, but it knows what it is. It's a little bit Tarantino, it's definitely a little bit...
-
Episode 104 - The Old Way
YEEHAW!!! After a quick, hour-long horse ride to central New Jersey to an independent movie theater (the only one within 100 miles showing this week's flick), we are back with another podcast for you fine folks! That's right, Nic Cage dropped a move this weekend out of no where like a SoundCloud...

HI GUYS! WE ARE BACK!!!! So happy to be talking about the movie that is all over the place recently: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022). Give us a listen this week if you want to hear us spoil this flick...or if you just missed the sweet, seductive sounds of our voices! Missed you…

Episode 102 - Pig
We are caught up so... Whether you have been listening since we had only one crackly mic, since Peggy Sue Got Married (which is our most popular episode for some strange reason), or since the Stoned Cage, Golden Cage, or the Renaissance Cage - we want to give a BIG BIG BIG thank you to all of you...
-
Episode 101 - Willy‘s Wonderland
We're back after a brief break to bring you our analysis on Willy's Wonderland (2021) - a movie which dares to ask the question: What would you do if you had a Chuck E. Cheese to yourself for a night?...sorta...it's a touch more complicated than that, but we had some fun with it. Nicolas Cage…

Episode 100 - Prisoners of the Ghostland
After a brief reprieve, we are back, baby, with our 100th actual episode!!! Get HYPED!!! This week, we waited a bit so that we could watch Prisoners of the Ghostland (2021) on opening night. Was it worth it? Listen and find out!!! I know we say this a lot, but thank you all so much for your...
-
Bonus Episode - History of Swear Words
YOOO! It's a bonus episode y'all!!!! We usually only do Nicolas Cage f*ckin' movies whether they're good or sh*tty, but this time, b*tches, we checked out our p*ssy-magnet friend in his first full-length television show, History of Swear Words (2021). Don't be a d*ck and give this d*mn podcast a...

Episode 99 - The Croods: A New Age
"In this movie, there is a story of a man and his stick. A stick which has traveled through space and time and means a lot to the man. The man, is Nicolas Cage Part 2, A New Age." - My friend who has not seen this movie. But we did!!! Check out this episode (our 99th movie guys, Nic really…

Episode 98 - Jiu Jitsu
So every six years, an alien arrives to earth on a glowing comet and enters a temple through a giant portal. This alien brought jiu jitsu to the humans like Prometheus brought fire to the humans. The alien demands that he fight 9 of the globe's best fighters, but, like Prometheus, the gods (in…

Episode 97 - Grand Isle
Whoa! Wait a second...is this our 100th episode??? Yes that includes bonus episodes, but still - I'll take that as a win!! Thank you again to all of our loyal fans. This week we watch perhaps the best movie that is ranked as a 0 on Rotten Tomatoes. Grand Isle (2019) stars Nicolas cage, Kelsey...
-
Episode 96 - Primal
So Monster's Ball (2001) is a movie about romance and not about boxing, but Halle Berry won the Academy Award for best actress as the first Black woman to do so. Monster (2003) is a movie about a serial killer/prostitute played by Charlize Theron who was the first African woman to win the Academy...
-
Episode 95 - Kill Chain
Hey, man! Welcome back to Through Nic and Thin, where we watch every - crap someone's at the door - Nicolas Cage movie in - ugh someone's calling me - in chronological order - I'm hungry - so that you don't have to. This week, we got INCREDIBLY distracted as we discussed the fun 2019 film, Kill...
-
Episode 94 - Running With the Devil
Short episode this week! Big announcement in the beginning and then we blaze through some behind-the-scenes info and the plot of Running With the Devil (2019). While Nicolas Cage is an angel, he plays the devil in this movie...but not really...he's not even "The Boss"...sigh...
-
Episode 93 - Color Out of Space
Based on a short story by a great writer (not so great human) and directed by an average director (also, allegedly, not a great human), Color Out of Space (2019) stars great actor (and a great weird human) Nicolas Cage as the main character. That was a lot of parentheses...too much? Perhaps!...
-
Episode 92 - A Score to Settle
In this weeks movie, A Score to Settle (2019), Nicolas Cage plays a man on a mission: to settle a score. A singular score...against several people...that does not actually come to fruition...or is it multiple scores? Who cares? The real question is: do you think "beef" is an accurate description…

Episode 91 - Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse
Hello and welcome to our quaint little podcast here! This week, you've stepped into an alternate universe where up is down, down is up, and Hanna and Steve switch roles!!! That's right, Steve provides background info on all things Spider-Man Noir and Nicolas Cage's portrayal in this 2018 Academy...
-
Episode 90 - Between Worlds
Hi, friends! Give us a listen this week as we discuss the...um...interesting film Between Worlds (2018). Nicolas Cage's most lewd performance yet! This time, we ask the real hard-hitting questions that any good investigative journalist would, like: "What does Steve want for dinner?" "Do you...
-
Episode 89 - Teen Titans GO! To the Movies
We are back after our first weekend off in a long time! Join us this week as we struggled to watch Teen Titans GO! To the Movies (2018) without a toddler nearby - who is definitely the audience demographic for this film. We had some fun with some of the jokes, but ultimately the best part of this...
-
Episode 88 - 211
Hi friends! Welcome back! A special thank you to the listeners who stayed on board after last week's weird-ass caption. I'm going to be honest with you all: I laughed more during the editing process for this episode than any other episode of #TNT so far. I hope you enjoy our review and recap of...
-
Episode 87 - Looking Glass
Oh hello - didn't see you there. Who? Me? Oh, I'm just a podcaster with a dream. What's that dream, you ask? Well, to get people to listen to this week's episode, of course! It's only the coolest, hippest thing the kids are doing these days. What's it about, you say? Nicolas Cage, silly! He plays…
more -
Episode 86 - Mandy
Wowzer, we stumbled across a good one! In this week's flick, Nicolas Cage plays a man on a mission to avenge the death of his wife, and, boy howdy does he ever. Listen this week as we break down some behind the scenes info on Mandy (2018) and take a closer look at this movie through the…
more -
Episode 85 - Dark
This movie is INCREDIBLY hard to find, so we watched what was readily available without having to travel 3,000 miles or use a sketchy website. Dark (2107) is essentially Paul Schrader's director's cut of Dying of the Light (2014). Nicolas Cage plays a CIA agent suffering from early onset dementia...
-
Episode 84 - The Humanity Bureau
Agent Noah Kross access case file 56672996: Implement under my authority the following instructions. Watch The Humanity Bureau (2017) and listen to this podcast. No notes at this time. Report to follow. God bless New America or something!
-
Episode 83 - Mom and Dad
Hello again friends, and welcome back to another banger! We talk about Mom and Dad (2017), directed by the guy who brought you Ghost Rider 2: Not as Good as the First One!! Nic plays one of the titular characters in this thrilling, zombie-esque movie that we had A LOT o' fun with. Side note: we...
-
Episode 82 - Inconceivable
Welcome back everyone! Apparently, we may not have listeners after our hot takes last week, but fear not! We actually kinda liked this movie. Nicolas Cage plays the father figure in one of those oh-shoot-we-hired-a-murderous-yet-sexy-nanny-Lifetime-original-movie-esque movies, Inconceivable…
more -
Episode 81 - Vengeance: A Love Story
Wow...we stumbled across another absolute stinker. Not only is Vengeance: A Love Story (2017) really bad, it could easily be considered insanely offensive. We break it down here for you so that you never, ever, EVER have to watch this piece of junk. We say this in the episode, but it bears...
-
Episode 80 - Arsenal
It's the return of Eddie King, baby!!! You read that right, this gloriously average 2017 film, Arsenal, sees the return of the greatest character ever committed to film. If you don't know what I'm talking about, go back and watch Deadfall (1993) and then listen to our commensurate podcast. We had...
-
Bonus Episode - March Madness 2: Book of Vengeance
How's your NCAA bracket doing? Mine sucks, so I made a Nicolas Cage one instead. Join us as we definitively rank the best scenes from the 50 or so Nic Cage movies that we've watched in this past year. Let us know if you agree...actually don't...ALL DECISIONS ARE FINAL! :) :) If you are still...
-
Episode 79 - Army of One
Welcome back to our humble little podcast, friends! Fans of our show will know that last week really tried Steve's faith in movies. This week, however, Hanna's faith in movies was tried. We watched Army of One (2016) which tells the tale of real life hero/patriot Gary Faulkner, played by Nicolas...
-
Episode 78 - USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage
Uh oh, Steve's mad...
-
Episode 77 - Snowden
This week, we kick off March 2021 with another political thriller from Oliver Stone - Snowden (2016). Nicolas Cage plays a professor with, like, three lines in the entire film. We don't spend too much time talking politics, but we do both embarrass ourselves pretty severely. Have we told you…
more -
Episode 76 - Dog Eat Dog
Welcome back, folks! This week, we watched Dog Eat Dog (2016) - a movie so average, we started losing our collective minds. Join us as we discuss Nicolas Cage and Willem Dafoe as career criminals in a one-last-job motif that will drive you nuts...or you'll love it...the critics are split and so…
more -
Episode 75 - The Trust
In this week's movie, Nicolas Cage plays a good cop gone bad alongside Elijah Wood and the late, great Jerry Lewis. Listen this week as we talk about The Trust (2016) which seems to spark something in Nic we haven't seen in a while. We also run down the official ranking of Nic's first 75 movies...
-
Episode 74 - Pay the Ghost
In this week's movie review and recap, Nicolas Cage plays Brian Mills - an ex-CIA operative who must rescue his daughter against all odds. He has a particular set of skills...oh wait...wrong movie...Pay the Ghost (2015) seems like Taken on paper when you hear it's about a man whose son gets...
-
Episode 73 - The Runner
A few important things to note: 1. The Runner (2015) is a bad film. 2. Okay, it's not that bad, it just leaves something to be desired. 3. We almost forgot to rank this one, so apologies for the weird cut towards the end. 4. We need your help! I'll post something about this on Insta later...
-
Episode 72 - Dying of the Light
Wow...another rough one this week. When I call a movie "rough" I don't always mean that it's bad. For example, this week's movie, Dying of the Light (2014) starring Nicolas Cage and the late, great Anton Yelchin, was really just okay - not bad. However, it's the "okay" reviews that are going to...
-
Episode 71 - Left Behind
Every once and I while, I write something along the lines of "this movie broke us." This time, I wasn't planning on typing that, but between constant recording interruptions and reliving this horrid excuse for a film, I came to the sad realization that Left Behind (2014) did, in fact, break us…

Episode 70 - Outcast
I'm tired. This movie sucks. We had fun talking about it. This episode is short-ish. Please listen...if you want. Love you. Bye.
-
Episode 69 - Rage
In this week's movie review and recap, Nicolas Cage plays Brian Mills - an ex-CIA operative who must rescue his daughter against all odds. He has a particular set of skills...oh wait...wrong movie...this movie is much, MUCH worse than both Taken (2008) and Stolen (2012, Episode 65). We have a LOT...
