Moonstruck vs Honeymoon in Vegas · Cage Match: A Roundabout Way of Meeting Nicolas Cage

• 0:00
  Oh, God. Oh, my God.
• 0:12
  Kind of like whatever fell out of the back of the truck.
• 0:15
  Yeah, it up on the shelves.
• 0:16
  Yeah, it fell out of the back of the truck and then rolled across
• 0:19
  three international borders and ended up in America.
• 0:23
  I think I've always shopped at a stars like twice,
• 0:27
  and it was out of like necessity, like proximity.
• 0:30
  Yeah. It's like I just need this thing and I'm right here
• 0:32
  and I should be in and out before I catch anything.
• 0:34
  Who chooses to shop at stars?
• 0:36
  It's either that or you're so poor.
• 0:38
  It's a lifestyle. You have to stop here.
• 0:41
  All right. Now we're starting to talk down on people about their choices
• 0:44
  and I feel really good about this.
• 0:46
  So I'm going to need you to start bagging on the pores again,
• 0:49
  because it really helped for my segue to get us into this episode.
• 0:53
  I mean, if we can get you into a proper segue,
• 0:56
  I'm going to do everything I can not to.
• 0:59
  Welcome back to Cage match, colon around about way of meeting Nicholas Cage.
• 1:03
  I'm Sean here with Nick and Nick and our producer Peter. Hello.
• 1:07
  And this week we have our special guest Marissa. Hello.
• 1:13
  Well, why are you here?
• 1:15
  Well, I was asked.
• 1:19
  Oh, OK. See, I'm not I'm not involved in the guest selection process.
• 1:23
  So like somebody will be like, Oh, that's great.
• 1:25
  Marissa is going to be on the show.
• 1:26
  What's how'd that come about?
• 1:29
  I'm like, I don't know.
• 1:30
  Well, OK. So I was asked. That's the short answer.
• 1:32
  Long answer was I think I was talking about Moonstruck
• 1:36
  and basically how I use Nicholas Cage's hand
• 1:40
  at work all the time to discuss people.
• 1:43
  Fantastic. So you have Nicholas Cage's hand.
• 1:46
  I do. As my desk.
• 1:47
  People on this podcast, we discuss, rate and review
• 1:52
  64 Nicholas Cage's top films and we will
• 1:56
  decide what ultimately is the best Nick Cage film as decided by Nick and myself.
• 2:02
  Yes. No one else.
• 2:04
  Today we are discussing Moonstruck from 1987 and Honeymoon in Vegas from 1990.
• 2:10
  We're going to do this again, too, aren't we?
• 2:11
  So I think to do to.
• 2:15
  This is our comedy bracket, I believe.
• 2:18
  Funny guy, funny guy, funny cage.
• 2:20
  And it's really unfortunate that you have to ask if this is supposed to be funny.
• 2:25
  There are times where I question
• 2:29
  comedy. Well, I mean, there's times when I question him as a tough guy, too.
• 2:33
  But we also assigned these pretty arbitrarily,
• 2:37
  not having much knowledge of the movies just based on trailers.
• 2:41
  Yeah. That Peter watched. Yeah.
• 2:43
  Oh, man. That was a dream of a night.
• 2:45
  We we broke this down based on descriptions that Peter gave us.
• 2:50
  Yeah, it worked out pretty well. I think so.
• 2:51
  I just thought it was because I had moon in both titles.
• 2:54
  No, that's there's actually been a lot of like random sort of like weird
• 2:58
  alignments between movies in general.
• 2:59
  This one has two weak ass men getting cuckolded.
• 3:03
  So yeah, great.
• 3:05
  So the first movie that has ended in Kukul.
• 3:08
  And this podcast, you see, it's so weird.
• 3:11
  Yeah. What Kukul?
• 3:12
  Weird is one way of saying it wrong.
• 3:14
  And another one.
• 3:16
  I know you're talking about. Yeah.
• 3:18
  So, Marissa, had you seen Honeymoon in Vegas before?
• 3:22
  Yes. Really? But like a very long time ago.
• 3:25
  Interesting. This was a total blind spot for me.
• 3:27
  Probably in the 90s.
• 3:30
  Are you now interested in watching the musical?
• 3:33
  No, because there is a musical based on it. What?
• 3:36
  Yeah. I don't know.
• 3:37
  Assholes. It's the first movie.
• 3:41
  Like a movie about like a stage musical or a live or like, OK, with songs and shit.
• 3:47
  You know what? It's interesting, but I'm going to move away from this.
• 3:49
  We're going to we're going to come back here in two hours after we've watched this.
• 3:53
  See you. See everyone then.
• 3:56
  Boy, that was terrible.
• 3:57
  I can't believe you spent that time.
• 4:00
  What was your favorite song, Nick?
• 4:01
  The one with Spider-Man in it was definitely my best.
• 4:06
  I don't have any better jokes than that.
• 4:07
  So we're going to move on now.
• 4:10
  Mercy, you're the guest.
• 4:10
  Do you want to explain what this movie is about? Yes.
• 4:13
  Nicholas Cage is a private investigator who investigates
• 4:18
  men who are being cheated on
• 4:22
  on behalf of them.
• 4:23
  And he takes evidence.
• 4:25
  He is dating Sarah Jessica Parker, who is way out of his league.
• 4:29
  And he is he promises his dying mother,
• 4:34
  who's Anne Bancroft, that he will never get married.
• 4:38
  And so he has a phobia, an avoidance of marriage.
• 4:42
  But Sarah Jessica Parker wants him to get married.
• 4:46
  So he agrees they go to Vegas.
• 4:49
  He has to have one last poker game before they can get married.
• 4:53
  And James Kahn has spotted Sarah Jessica Parker.
• 4:57
  She looks like a dead ringer for his deceased wife.
• 5:01
  Dead ringer.
• 5:02
  Dead life.
• 5:04
  But a ringer.
• 5:06
  Physical comedy.
• 5:07
  Oh, yeah, that was a wedding ring finger joke.
• 5:10
  And then the wrong hand because I am afraid of marriage.
• 5:16
  I am too.
• 5:18
  Sorry, this is a movie that like once again, really hit home,
• 5:21
  strikes on a lot of things that I'm like, oh, man, I don't want to get married.
• 5:25
  Maybe we're just fucking weird, scary.
• 5:27
  Also, you do look like someone who should be an Elvis impersonator.
• 5:31
  Oh, I thought you were going to say
• 5:34
  you do look like somebody who shouldn't be married.
• 5:36
  That's cold. But I guess well received.
• 5:39
  Yeah, fair.
• 5:41
  So James Khan hatches a plan to lure Nicholas Cage into a
• 5:46
  poker game where he can win money from Nicholas Cage
• 5:51
  so that he's indebted to such a point that he has to offer up.
• 5:55
  Yes, I agree to have Sarah Jessica Parker go for a weekend with James Khan.
• 6:02
  Somehow he takes her to Hawaii.
• 6:05
  That felt a little odd.
• 6:06
  There's a Pat Morita shows up as a taxi driver.
• 6:10
  Peter Boyle shows up as a as a native Hawaiian chief.
• 6:13
  Says some things that are what we would call problematic these days.
• 6:16
  Yes, I'm not going to lie.
• 6:17
  I love Peter Boyle's role in this movie.
• 6:21
  I mean, I just love him.
• 6:22
  Also, he was just obsessed with musicals.
• 6:26
  All I can think of is Frankenstein, though.
• 6:28
  Yeah, absolutely. Putting on the ritz.
• 6:31
  So they do detour in Kauai.
• 6:34
  Nicholas Cage goes out antics and Sue.
• 6:37
  They end up back in Vegas.
• 6:40
  The only way he can get there is to parachute in as an Elvis impersonator.
• 6:44
  By this time, Sarah Jessica Parker had agreed to marry James Khan,
• 6:51
  which seemed really far fetched.
• 6:53
  Under very dubious circumstances, James Khan really starts lying.
• 6:58
  True reason for marrying, agreeing to marry anyone at this point is very spacious.
• 7:02
  Well, all she wants to do is get married and have kids.
• 7:06
  Yeah, which I understand that's every woman's core desire. But
• 7:11
  the views in this podcast are that of Nick and Nick's alone.
• 7:16
  Wait a minute.
• 7:16
  I have to take ownership for everything you say now. Yes.
• 7:21
  Anyways, they end up they end up
• 7:22
  she ends up falling back in love with Nick Cage because he jumps out of.
• 7:26
  Yeah. Grand gestures.
• 7:27
  Because apparently he was afraid of heights.
• 7:28
  I don't know. That was like a character trait thing that like never was.
• 7:31
  They never established that it was in the Wikipedia said that there was.
• 7:35
  There's a lot of stuff in the Wikipedia for this one that is blatantly wrong.
• 7:39
  Maybe they added that for the musical.
• 7:40
  It is fair to point out that Wikipedia is not a credible source.
• 7:45
  True, because it is all user update. Yeah.
• 7:49
  There is one character
• 7:51
  that is a callback to another movie, and that's Johnny.
• 7:55
  What's his name? Who plays Johnny Sandwich?
• 7:57
  And yes. Oh, yeah. Johnny Roastbeef Williams. Yeah.
• 8:00
  Fuck, yeah. God, I'm such a great character.
• 8:02
  What a name.
• 8:04
  I wish people would just start.
• 8:06
  I'm going to change my last name to Sandwich.
• 8:08
  Sandwich is a good last name.
• 8:09
  So he had a great name, his best.
• 8:11
  And then the Nick Cage's buddy was Sally Moller's.
• 8:14
  Yeah, that's also really good.
• 8:16
  And he's a dentist. Yeah, that makes sense.
• 8:19
  Do you think he was a dentist because he had that last number?
• 8:21
  He changed his name when he got into the. You have to be a dentist.
• 8:23
  Yeah. It's just like, sorry, dude.
• 8:25
  Family name, family business. Yeah.
• 8:26
  Richard, I to you. Got to do it.
• 8:30
  Let's start from let's start from the beginning.
• 8:32
  His crazy ass dying mother. Oh, yeah.
• 8:36
  That was a great real quick cameo. Yeah. Yeah.
• 8:40
  She was she gives a real look right before he dies.
• 8:43
  Oh, man. Those wild eyes.
• 8:44
  There's some wild eyes in this. I liked it a lot.
• 8:47
  Now that she died, she's dead as fuck.
• 8:49
  What do you think of the animated intro?
• 8:51
  OK, so I liked there was like this was a time it made me think back.
• 8:55
  I could be wrong that the money pit has one of those,
• 8:57
  but I feel like the money pit has an animated intro.
• 8:59
  I can't remember if it does, but it definitely has that same kind of vibe.
• 9:02
  Yeah. What's the money?
• 9:04
  Tom Hanks and Shelly Long.
• 9:07
  Yeah. They put a bunch of money in a house.
• 9:09
  That's a piece of shit. Yep.
• 9:10
  Man, it's actually based on a 1940s movie, Mr.
• 9:13
  Blanding Stream House.
• 9:15
  Well, look at you, Marissa.
• 9:17
  You're better at us than us. Thanks for the context.
• 9:20
  Get out. I hope I got that right.
• 9:23
  I'm not going to fact check it. Yeah.
• 9:24
  That's all we're here for. This is like Wikipedia.
• 9:26
  You can say anything and it's really not citable in court
• 9:29
  because we don't know shit.
• 9:31
  Here's another thing. Just a bunch of idiots.
• 9:33
  This is also true.
• 9:34
  So the guy who did music for Honeymoon in Vegas, David Newman,
• 9:38
  went to school with my dad.
• 9:40
  He was actually in my Uncle Tom's class.
• 9:44
  My uncle comes a year younger than my dad.
• 9:45
  And his brother, Thomas Newman, is a very famous music scorer for movies.
• 9:51
  He's gotten Academy Awards and stuff.
• 9:53
  Can we get him on this podcast?
• 9:55
  And is he going to get Nicholas Cage on this?
• 9:57
  Is he Randy Newman?
• 9:58
  That's their cousin, I think.
• 10:00
  Right. Yeah. You fucking kidding me?
• 10:01
  No. Why aren't you telling us these things when we meet you?
• 10:06
  These are hot facts.
• 10:07
  I want to sing songs about short people with Randy Newman
• 10:11
  on our Nicholas Cage podcast.
• 10:13
  I invite Randy Newman over, please.
• 10:15
  I had a I had a quick thought of Randy Quaid for a second.
• 10:18
  Oh, no. I'm sorry. He's gone.
• 10:22
  He's left the country.
• 10:24
  Yeah. I like Quaid. Quaid.
• 10:29
  Yeah. So mom kicks it.
• 10:31
  Yeah. So then it cuts to four years later.
• 10:34
  Voice over of Nick Cage explaining that he's a private eye.
• 10:37
  Great fake mustache.
• 10:38
  Oh, and he's got one of those really cool, slim cameras.
• 10:41
  Yes, I love. I want to get one of those.
• 10:45
  Great fake mustache.
• 10:47
  The best of the fake mustaches I've seen him wear on this podcast.
• 10:51
  The best. This is the most fake mustache.
• 10:55
  It's big. It's fake.
• 10:56
  It's it really went with the pants. Yeah.
• 11:01
  We find out that he has been dating Sarah Jessica Parker, who's a school teacher.
• 11:06
  He pops the question one night and they're off to Vegas the next day.
• 11:09
  OK, we have to pause before we jump too far into the Vegas park.
• 11:12
  And we've got to talk about the guy that comes to his
• 11:15
  detective agency.
• 11:17
  Oh, yeah.
• 11:18
  So he has this one client who's convinced that his wife is cheating on him
• 11:23
  with Mike Tyson and he shows pictures and she's a looker.
• 11:27
  And so it makes sense.
• 11:28
  That's true. She's quite the lady.
• 11:30
  Yeah. We'll post a picture on the Patriot.
• 11:32
  Or is she? Oh, man.
• 11:34
  Rude. We got to post a picture of her with Mike Tyson.
• 11:37
  Yeah, that's the one.
• 11:38
  I got. Later he comes back like with, you know, with photographic evidence.
• 11:42
  And it's clearly just a Xeroxed
• 11:45
  picture with like her head cut out next to Mike Tyson.
• 11:49
  And the guy's like, see, you didn't believe me, but it's real.
• 11:51
  I have proof. It is so good.
• 11:54
  Who is that actor?
• 11:55
  I don't have that information in front of me, but he's he's in things.
• 11:59
  Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think it's Robert Costanza.
• 12:03
  He was on Saturday Night Fever and Die Hard 2 and City Slickers and Total Recall.
• 12:10
  OK, so Robert Costanza.
• 12:11
  Total Recall references in this episode alone.
• 12:14
  I know. Damn.
• 12:16
  I'm just waiting for someone to make an indecent proposal reference.
• 12:19
  I mean, yeah, that's kind of what this movie is.
• 12:21
  But you know, I mean, somebody's going to get a decent proposal tonight.
• 12:23
  I looked it up in decent proposals.
• 12:26
  1993. Oh, there you go.
• 12:27
  So I'd like to say they were inspired.
• 12:30
  Do you remember like when they did Robin Hood with Kevin Costner?
• 12:34
  Yes. Robin Hood Men in Tights came out right around the same time.
• 12:37
  I feel like there was a lot of movies where there was a comedy
• 12:40
  and then a serious movie.
• 12:42
  Oh, yeah. It just happened to be made around the same time.
• 12:45
  It's like they only had so many ideas.
• 12:47
  Yeah. And we still have even less now.
• 12:50
  I know. It's true.
• 12:51
  As we're now just remaking 90s movies.
• 12:54
  I can't wait to get Biodome redone.
• 12:56
  Oh, it's happening.
• 12:57
  Is it? It's a gritty reboot.
• 12:59
  It is. No, it is.
• 13:01
  Fuck that. It's not.
• 13:02
  It's a comedy, but it stars.
• 13:05
  It's a Mark Duplass film.
• 13:06
  OK, so it stars Mark Duplass and I can't remember the name of the other actor,
• 13:10
  but they're trapped in.
• 13:11
  Is it his brother? No, they're trapped in.
• 13:13
  Is it Terry Crews? Is it Polly Shore?
• 13:15
  No. Do they bring him back?
• 13:17
  I hope he has a major cameo.
• 13:18
  Is Tenacious D in this one also? I hope so.
• 13:20
  No, they're trapped in a dome.
• 13:22
  They have no contact with the outside world and they slowly start going insane.
• 13:25
  That doesn't sound the same.
• 13:26
  But it's a biodome. But it's a biodome.
• 13:28
  Yeah. OK. I mean, I buy that.
• 13:31
  So they're in Vegas.
• 13:32
  Khan shows up, starts ordering people around, sees
• 13:36
  Sarah Jessica Parker and is like, that's a dead ringer for my wife.
• 13:38
  And he's sad because his wife died of skin cancer, I assume,
• 13:41
  because he's really weird about the sun.
• 13:43
  Yeah, yeah. He's always talking about her like he said her skin.
• 13:46
  The doctor said her skin was like a saddlebag.
• 13:48
  Yeah. It's like, God damn.
• 13:51
  Which I thought it was weird that he owned a house in Hawaii
• 13:55
  and he's hanging out in Vegas. Yeah.
• 13:57
  Yeah. What's that about?
• 13:58
  Well, he's a big time gambler.
• 14:00
  I mean, the gambling scene's probably pretty limited in Hawaii.
• 14:04
  People are like betting pineapples and
• 14:06
  some of the subi.
• 14:08
  So he or what?
• 14:11
  These are the things I love.
• 14:13
  If I had to gamble those things, I'd be like, OK,
• 14:16
  this really means something to me.
• 14:18
  I don't want to lose my subi.
• 14:20
  So I better win this hand.
• 14:21
  The subi is a great thing to win in poker because, you know, tax man can't tax.
• 14:24
  We eat. That's right.
• 14:26
  Can we get it?
• 14:27
  As government.
• 14:30
  But James Khan sets up
• 14:32
  a poker game in his private suite and slips
• 14:35
  like an invitation under their door to get him in there to con him out of this.
• 14:40
  What was the game actually rigged?
• 14:42
  I think it has to be. I mean, oh, it was definitely rigged.
• 14:44
  Because they kind of make it seem like it was.
• 14:47
  But like, what are the fucking odds?
• 14:48
  For him to get a straight flush and then for James Khan
• 14:53
  to get a slightly higher straight flush right afterwards.
• 14:57
  It's like a statistic anomaly.
• 14:59
  Like two straight flushes in one hand.
• 15:01
  The likelihood is even outside of Hollywood's realm of possibility.
• 15:05
  It seems like Johnny Sandwich had his had his hands in this one.
• 15:08
  Yeah, I mean, they sharked him.
• 15:10
  It's to Asian Elvis.
• 15:12
  There's also an Elvis committee.
• 15:13
  Oh, Eddie. Yeah. Yeah.
• 15:15
  There's Eddie is so good.
• 15:16
  I love many amazing Elvis's in this movie, including Bruno Mars.
• 15:20
  Yes. So we we get into the game
• 15:24
  and it builds up to a hand that should be unbeatable.
• 15:30
  I believe there's straight flush to Jack.
• 15:33
  Yeah, straight flush to the Jack.
• 15:36
  And so Cage like keeps taking more and more money on credit.
• 15:40
  James Khan takes the hand with a straight flush to the queen.
• 15:44
  And Cage is just bugging destroyed.
• 15:47
  And the James Khan is the indecent proposal.
• 15:51
  Or at this point, I think it's a pretty decent proposal
• 15:54
  where Khan's like, hey, let me spend the weekend with your wife.
• 15:58
  I definitely won't try and fuck her. Nothing sexy.
• 16:01
  Well, I mean, beyond the normal James Khan sexiness.
• 16:05
  And he can't find the money anywhere else.
• 16:06
  So he talks to her and she's like, well, I guess Sarah Jessica Parker.
• 16:12
  I keep wanting to call her Sarah Michelle Geller.
• 16:15
  Stupid three names, Sarah's Sarah Jessica Parker is just hanging out with Tommy.
• 16:21
  Nick Cage is Jack singer Sarah Jessica Parker's Betsy Nolan.
• 16:24
  James Khan is Tommy Korman and Pat Morita is Mahi Mahi.
• 16:27
  Oh, yes. He's the only person in this movie
• 16:30
  that is likable, even though he's still a shitbag.
• 16:33
  Yeah, this is shit. But he doesn't likeable shit.
• 16:36
  He's the only one who kind of does the right thing eventually.
• 16:39
  I think Peter Boyle's very likable. That's fair.
• 16:41
  And Eddie's likable and Roy Bacon is likable.
• 16:44
  Roy Bacon fucking rules. Yeah.
• 16:47
  God, there are some fucking bangers of names in this movie.
• 16:51
  They did it right. Roy Bacon's got some fucking chompers.
• 16:54
  That's what I thought. He is going to have dentures or something. Absolutely.
• 16:58
  Or like three sets of teeth.
• 16:59
  It's just like a shark. Yeah.
• 17:02
  Roy Bacon's the leader of the flying Elvis's. Yeah. Yeah.
• 17:05
  He doesn't come in until like the last 15 minutes of the movie.
• 17:09
  So Tommy comes around. He's like, oh, let's go to Hawaii.
• 17:12
  I'm going to take you to Hawaii.
• 17:13
  And then his wife's like, I'm going to Hawaii with him.
• 17:16
  And so your weekend turns in like five days.
• 17:18
  Yeah. So now she's expected to come back on Wednesday.
• 17:21
  And Cage is freaking out.
• 17:23
  So he chases them to Hawaii when he just can't cope with anything.
• 17:28
  And he's like following them around the island.
• 17:31
  See, this is my biggest missed opportunity with this film.
• 17:33
  He's supposed to be a private eye. He's real bad at it.
• 17:37
  So they get this guy, Mahi Mahi, Pat Morita, the taxi driver on it.
• 17:42
  He intercepts Cage at the airport and Cage is like, hey, take me to Tommy Corman's house.
• 17:47
  He's like, OK, I got it. Everybody knows. Everybody know him.
• 17:51
  Oh, I did something racist.
• 17:53
  And it takes him to Chief Orman's house instead of Tommy Corman's house.
• 17:57
  And then we get Peter Boyle singing a lot of like South Pacific and show tunes.
• 18:04
  We cut back in finishing South Pacific.
• 18:07
  So it's just they've just been sitting there for the entirety of that musical.
• 18:12
  Yeah, pretty much. Nick Cage gets outside and he's like, oh, man.
• 18:16
  Oh, my, my. It looks like I left my keys in the bathroom.
• 18:21
  Could you run in and get them?
• 18:22
  And so Pat Morita is like, yeah, I'll go do that.
• 18:25
  And so he runs inside like I pronounced all of it.
• 18:28
  That was good. Yeah. Way to rein it in.
• 18:30
  Kukuldri. Some of us never learn.
• 18:33
  Pat Morita goes back inside.
• 18:35
  Cage just steals his taxi and drives off.
• 18:38
  Let's let's talk about Tommy's seduction, quote unquote, the seductory.
• 18:43
  Yeah, he's a boomer. Yeah.
• 18:45
  I mean, my favorite part is he's a boomer in Hawaii.
• 18:48
  They make him look old so fast.
• 18:50
  It's just, you know, can we talk about his awesome art?
• 18:53
  Oh, the like Kamasutra. Yeah.
• 18:55
  Oh, yeah. Right when you enter the house.
• 18:57
  Yeah. Welcome, granddaughter.
• 18:59
  Yeah. People fucking his son and granddaughter are on their way.
• 19:02
  That was like one of his cells to like get it to come to Hawaii.
• 19:05
  It's like, you'll meet my son and my granddaughter.
• 19:07
  Yeah, nothing weird could happen.
• 19:08
  So how will be here?
• 19:09
  How weird is it for your son to be introduced to the woman you just met
• 19:13
  who looks apparently exactly like his mother?
• 19:16
  He did not react to it. Yeah.
• 19:18
  It must be only James Khan sees it that way.
• 19:20
  Oh, yeah. Khan gives the full court press. Yeah.
• 19:23
  And it fucking works.
• 19:24
  It admits to her that like he like set up the game
• 19:27
  so he could like have the weekend with her immediately tells her he's in love with her.
• 19:31
  He was definitely love bombing her. Yeah. Yeah. For sure.
• 19:34
  Apparently works.
• 19:36
  I guess we go back to Vegas because Tommy's gone back to Vegas
• 19:41
  with Betsy to get married now.
• 19:43
  And when we're in Vegas now, Tommy's telling her that like the game was
• 19:50
  only for three thousand dollars and that Nick Cage put her up instead of.
• 19:55
  Despite what he'd said before.
• 19:57
  Yeah. So he's changing the game.
• 19:58
  He's like, Oh, I only said that to be gentle with you.
• 20:01
  To be fair, her character is a big old dummy.
• 20:05
  Yeah. Like which really speaks very early for their ex wife or the dead wife.
• 20:10
  And she's teaching children. Yes. Yeah.
• 20:12
  That's a scary thought.
• 20:14
  So Nick Cage can't get a direct flight back to Vegas to chase them.
• 20:18
  He ends up going to San Diego and then catching a private plane
• 20:24
  from San Diego to Vegas, which ends up just being the flying Elvis's.
• 20:28
  They're going there for a big flying Elvis thing,
• 20:32
  which turns out to be skydiving.
• 20:34
  Yeah. Well, this is clearly before 9-11 because there's no TSA. Right.
• 20:38
  He just walks out there with the cardboard sign.
• 20:40
  Well, yeah, he's just on the tarmac.
• 20:42
  Before that, when he when he start, when he's yelling at Ben Stein
• 20:45
  earlier in the film or the ticket agents like, you know, sir, can you get back in line?
• 20:48
  Like, why? What are you going to do?
• 20:50
  Arrest me. Send me to airport jail.
• 20:54
  And then everyone in line is like, Yeah, this guy fucking fucks.
• 20:59
  This guy's good.
• 21:00
  I just like the fact that they were using the green on black screens at the airport.
• 21:04
  Yes. Oh, yeah.
• 21:05
  Made me wistful for simpler time.
• 21:08
  Yeah, those were easier days.
• 21:10
  So James Khan, she's like, you know, let's wait.
• 21:12
  What's the rush? Let's because she agrees to marry him.
• 21:14
  And then he like starts, you know, grabbing her and it's like, never walk away from me.
• 21:17
  Yeah. He starts becoming a huge douchebag offers her half a million dollars
• 21:20
  to marry him today, which immediately escalates to a million dollars.
• 21:25
  And if they I think you just hold out a little bit of divorce. Yeah.
• 21:28
  Well, you get in paper to write that in writing.
• 21:31
  Yeah. I would have gotten that in writing.
• 21:32
  And I would have like I would have gotten in writing.
• 21:34
  I would have gotten the cash up front.
• 21:36
  I would have gone to the chapel.
• 21:38
  I mean, it's big and say, no, you can have all these things. Yeah.
• 21:41
  Yeah, absolutely. He has guys who do these.
• 21:43
  There's a notary somewhere. He knows one.
• 21:45
  He's very intimate with his balls.
• 21:47
  It's Tony Shalhoub. Tony Shalhoub.
• 21:49
  It's a hell of a way to introduce yourself to somebody.
• 21:52
  Yeah. It's a power move. Yeah.
• 21:54
  So yeah, that's a Vegas handshake.
• 21:56
  He's up there with the flying Elvis's needs to jump.
• 22:00
  So winds up jumping out of a plane with the flying Elvis's.
• 22:04
  Sarah Jessica Parker to get away from Tommy has like dressed up in a showgirl outfit.
• 22:09
  I felt very convenient.
• 22:10
  That's a lot of outfit to get into in such a short amount of time.
• 22:13
  When they're like running through the crowds and she's being chased by Tommy,
• 22:18
  they're announcing all the flying Elvis's that are coming in.
• 22:20
  The last one is.
• 22:22
  Jack Singer.
• 22:25
  So New York City. Yeah.
• 22:26
  So she hears that numerous times runs up there, you know, runs past security.
• 22:31
  They embrace, they kiss.
• 22:32
  Tommy sees this and goes, it's over.
• 22:36
  He jumped out of a plane for her.
• 22:38
  Set up a game.
• 22:39
  That's the movie.
• 22:41
  Yeah. Then they go get married in front of all those Elvis's.
• 22:45
  Which is the only way to get married as far as I can.
• 22:47
  So my parents get married in front of a bunch of Elvis's married by an Elvis.
• 22:51
  Oh, I honestly.
• 22:53
  It was all this time.
• 22:54
  If I could manufacture it right, I would love to have an Elvis wedding
• 23:00
  where everybody dresses like Elvis, except for the the person.
• 23:04
  Yeah. Efficient.
• 23:06
  And just like do it in Vegas.
• 23:07
  And only Elvis's can attend.
• 23:10
  I like that. If you had to dress up as an Elvis, what era Elvis
• 23:14
  would be your preference to get married as dead on the toilet?
• 23:18
  You bring the toilet. Oh, yeah.
• 23:20
  That's a seat with you anywhere you go.
• 23:21
  Mm hmm. I got to have like the sweetest pompadour Elvis.
• 23:25
  That's my Elvis.
• 23:26
  I do. 1969. Come back.
• 23:28
  Elvis. Fringe. 69. Yeah.
• 23:30
  Nice. Good call. Yeah.
• 23:32
  Yeah. He's like starting to lose it.
• 23:34
  It's still sexy. That's me.
• 23:35
  Dad bought Elvis started to lose it, but still sexy.
• 23:38
  Not doing those military pictures anymore. Elvis.
• 23:41
  This is the really that's thanks.
• 23:43
  Oh, that's all we can hope for at this point. Yeah.
• 23:45
  I do want to talk about his form of acting in this movie,
• 23:48
  which is just to scream every line in this film
• 23:52
  and not in like a very cagey way, just to violently yell at people.
• 23:56
  It was just volume. Yeah. Yeah.
• 23:58
  I think this character definitely got directed up.
• 24:02
  Interestingly, Andrew Bergman.
• 24:05
  Yeah. Written and directed by Andrew Bergman.
• 24:06
  Right. So he did a lot of things such as strip.
• 24:10
  He wrote strip. He wrote Blazing Saddles.
• 24:14
  It could happen to you. That's what you're thinking of.
• 24:15
  I was thinking about all three of those, actually,
• 24:18
  because I knew there was one blazing saddles that I like.
• 24:21
  It could happen to you, which is a good movie.
• 24:24
  We passed it forward.
• 24:25
  And a fury. The legend of Hank.
• 24:28
  Who the fuck is Hank?
• 24:30
  He's the best one.
• 24:31
  He's got paws of the Paws of Furious.
• 24:33
  Is this like a Beethoven spin off or an air but spin off?
• 24:38
  Is it a spin off from the dog that Air Bud had to fight in the boxing movie?
• 24:43
  I would watch that as a boxing bud.
• 24:46
  No, I think dog fighting would be strictly prohibited in the Air Bud franchise.
• 24:52
  That's the one sport that they're just like, we're not going to touch.
• 24:55
  But moves in with Michael Fitz.
• 24:58
  Um, what were you getting?
• 25:00
  Michael Vick is like the Don King character of the movie.
• 25:05
  You're going to be a champ.
• 25:08
  Ruh roh.
• 25:11
  Do we have to turn back time?
• 25:15
  And that would be a great segue.
• 25:17
  That would be a good segue.
• 25:20
  Quotes. Yeah, I got quotes.
• 25:22
  Fucking quotes of the yin yang.
• 25:25
  I was going to say that
• 25:26
  it's my quotes just like right there at the end after Nick Cage, like
• 25:33
  meets up with Sarah Jessica Parker again.
• 25:38
  And Sarah Michelle Geller.
• 25:41
  No, you got it right.
• 25:42
  Fuck. OK.
• 25:44
  I panicked.
• 25:46
  I panicked because this is all live and it couldn't possibly be reedited.
• 25:50
  There's so much pressure.
• 25:51
  I'm doubling every fuck up.
• 25:53
  OK, so they're in each other's arms and like he's dressed like an Elvis.
• 25:56
  And she's dressed like a showgirl.
• 25:58
  He's like his kid said you were going to get married.
• 26:01
  Did you get a job here?
• 26:02
  Why is the line I'm going to use every time I go gambling now?
• 26:05
  And he's this is after I was going to say, sir, Michelle Geller,
• 26:10
  Sarah Jessica Parker goes on the intro date with GamesCon,
• 26:14
  and he somehow has lots of cash still to go play roulette.
• 26:19
  And he sits down at the table and he says,
• 26:22
  it's extremely important that I win.
• 26:24
  And for some reason, the woman manning the roulette table
• 26:29
  takes him somewhat seriously and gives him a respectful answer.
• 26:34
  Mine's like from very early on in the film, and it's him talking about a dream.
• 26:38
  Talking to Sarah. God damn it.
• 26:40
  Jessica Parker about he had that dream about his mom again.
• 26:45
  And she's like, was she naked in this one?
• 26:47
  Hey, I only had one dream where she was naked.
• 26:50
  She was vacuuming.
• 26:51
  Wasn't sexual. It was about cleanliness.
• 26:54
  I love that one.
• 26:56
  That that comes back again at the end of the movie, too, which is great.
• 27:00
  He's like, I had another dream about my mom.
• 27:02
  I told her we were getting married.
• 27:04
  And she's like, was she naked?
• 27:06
  She was still naked, but it was OK.
• 27:10
  So instead of good cage, bad cage, because this isn't a great film
• 27:13
  and he's not the best in it.
• 27:15
  I want to know how long do you give that marriage?
• 27:18
  I give it a year. Two tops.
• 27:19
  Hmm. No, I think they're so dysfunctional.
• 27:22
  They'll stay together for a long time and just be somewhat miserable.
• 27:25
  Oh, they're going to have kids immediately.
• 27:26
  So you're it's the kids that will link them together in sadness and copy it.
• 27:32
  I don't know.
• 27:33
  It wasn't a great performance by cage and it wasn't.
• 27:37
  It's not a top five movie for me now, but
• 27:42
  did I enjoy myself all the way through?
• 27:44
  Yes, I did enjoy.
• 27:45
  Did I laugh while I watched it? Yes, I did laugh.
• 27:47
  Do I think that it deserves to be a part of this podcast?
• 27:51
  Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
• 27:53
  To get to this. Yeah, there there is a lot.
• 27:55
  I mean, we've moved all sorts of Bangkok.
• 27:58
  Dangerous made it into this somehow.
• 28:00
  They really could have cut like a third of the movie. Oh, yeah.
• 28:03
  Yeah, I mean, that's what I thought.
• 28:04
  Give me a nice 60 minute movie. Yeah.
• 28:06
  Here's the thing.
• 28:07
  I don't feel like I'm appropriately equipped to talk about romantic comedies.
• 28:13
  I mean, they're just not something I like.
• 28:15
  Yeah, well, I mean, it's gone.
• 28:17
  Throws a lot of romance around, but it's always creepy.
• 28:21
  Yeah. And it's creepy.
• 28:23
  I know there's never a sweet touching moment in this movie.
• 28:26
  Now. No.
• 28:27
  Hey, Nick, I got a question for you.
• 28:29
  If I could turn back time, I was going to ask if you believe in life after love.
• 28:35
  Do you believe in love after love?
• 28:38
  Because that's what this next movie is kind of about.
• 28:41
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 28:42
  I read. That's my segue.
• 28:43
  I've read so many interviews from Cher this week.
• 28:47
  Like, I just got addicted to reading interviews by Cher.
• 28:50
  Awesome. With Cher for no reason.
• 28:53
  And none of them really amount to anything in my head.
• 28:56
  They're all the same.
• 28:58
  Talks about shoes.
• 28:59
  That's because people only want to ask her questions about her, like
• 29:03
  weird boyfriends, her fashion style and things like that.
• 29:06
  I'm just going to put it out there.
• 29:07
  But Cher is highly underrated.
• 29:09
  Oh, I really love Cher in sometimes ironic, sometimes not ironically.
• 29:15
  Yeah, I never really got the Cher appeal.
• 29:18
  And then I saw this movie like Cher's charming as fuck.
• 29:21
  Yeah. You want you want to marry her?
• 29:23
  You want to be her friend?
• 29:24
  Which is funny, because this movie is nothing Cher.
• 29:28
  No, she's very unsure.
• 29:30
  Well, she's an Armenian woman.
• 29:33
  Armenian, Native American, a bunch of other things, not Italian at all.
• 29:37
  This movie is aggressively Italian.
• 29:39
  It is very aggressive.
• 29:40
  And he's trance and thieves.
• 29:43
  Oh, man, when she said Nick Cage looked at her with those gypsy eyes
• 29:47
  and I was just like, ooh, spicy.
• 29:49
  Can't say that anymore.
• 29:51
  I mean, I'm going to say it on the podcast because it's a freebie.
• 29:53
  Yeah, that's true. It was in is a quote from the movie.
• 29:56
  I take I take every freebie I can.
• 29:58
  I always I always think that Swede sounds like a slur.
• 30:01
  Swede. Yeah.
• 30:03
  Swede. Swede.
• 30:05
  Say the whole word.
• 30:06
  Did you ever watch the show Iron Horses or something like that?
• 30:11
  I don't know.
• 30:11
  But there was one like work boss who was Swedish
• 30:16
  and they just called him the Swede and he was a real son of a bitch.
• 30:20
  Was it just wings with the with trains?
• 30:22
  Yeah, I've never seen.
• 30:23
  Was Tony Shalhoub in it?
• 30:26
  Tony Shalhoub was every character, including the Swede,
• 30:29
  which was the most racist part.
• 30:32
  All right.
• 30:33
  So let's follow the tradition of Moonstruck.
• 30:36
  And drink champagne with a sugar cube dropped into it to ward off the devil.
• 30:41
  Yeah, because he's a fucker.
• 30:43
  The devil can't.
• 30:44
  So when we started watching this, Josie was like,
• 30:48
  why do why are they putting sugar cubes in their champagne?
• 30:53
  Like if they wanted it sweeter, why not just buy a Spamante instead of fruit?
• 30:58
  I don't know the champagne terms.
• 31:01
  Drink a drink of wine time.
• 31:02
  Drink a drink of wine time.
• 31:04
  And so I had to look it up.
• 31:05
  But it is specifically like an Italian or Italian American,
• 31:10
  like old wives tale to drop a sugar cube in your champagne
• 31:14
  because the devil hates all good things and nice things.
• 31:17
  So having like that little bit of extra sweetness
• 31:21
  keeps the devil out of your spirits.
• 31:23
  But it also, from a scientific standpoint,
• 31:26
  gives it more surface area for effervescence.
• 31:29
  So it bubbles more aggressively for longer out of the sugar cube,
• 31:33
  which is nice if you like the bubbles.
• 31:36
  Science, science pod.
• 31:38
  Mr. Wizard, show me your dick.
• 31:42
  Sorry, I couldn't let it get too serious.
• 31:44
  Sorry, Marissa, you're excluded from that one.
• 31:46
  That's why we put Mentos in the diet coke to ward off the devil.
• 31:50
  And for effervescence.
• 31:51
  Oh, is it Mentos?
• 31:52
  I've been doing pimentos this whole time and I've always been curious.
• 31:56
  My diet coke tastes terrible.
• 31:59
  Oh, man. So Moonstra.
• 32:01
  Obviously, we're talking about Moonstruck.
• 32:03
  Starring Cher mostly Cher. Yeah.
• 32:06
  Yeah. Sure.
• 32:08
  Loretta Castorini, Nick Cage's Ronnie Camareri
• 32:13
  and Danny Ayo as Johnny Camareri.
• 32:16
  Ronnie and Johnny Brothers.
• 32:18
  And then a bunch of other great actors.
• 32:21
  Yeah. I mean, Olympia Dukakis is Cher's mom.
• 32:24
  It's only 15 years older than her.
• 32:26
  Vincent Gardena. Great name is her dad.
• 32:30
  Frazier's dad's in this. Frazier's dad, John Mahoney.
• 32:32
  Yeah. And the grandpa, I'm sure he's an interesting actor.
• 32:36
  You know what else John Mahoney was on?
• 32:38
  The best show ever.
• 32:40
  That's right. Burn Notice.
• 32:42
  Oh, my God.
• 32:43
  Why does it always come back to Burn Notice?
• 32:45
  I love Burn Notice. Obviously.
• 32:49
  That's going to be my next podcast.
• 32:50
  I say mine because I know you two won't have anything to do with it.
• 32:53
  So it will be self-produced.
• 32:54
  I'll come on your podcast. Nice.
• 32:56
  I did watch a lot of USA shows. I love you.
• 32:59
  I mean, I just want to do a whole podcast about USA television.
• 33:01
  It was a golden era. Yeah.
• 33:03
  So Moonstruck. Yeah. Moonstruck.
• 33:05
  A fucking banger of a film. 1987.
• 33:08
  It's a great. Yeah.
• 33:09
  So Cher Loretta is proposed to by Johnny.
• 33:16
  And she has to work him through the whole process.
• 33:19
  He's a real lump of a man.
• 33:21
  Oh, he's a fucking rube. If I ever saw.
• 33:22
  He's a putz. He's a total putz.
• 33:25
  Rube putz. He's a he's a dumb dumb.
• 33:28
  He nice hand motion.
• 33:30
  He proposes because his mom's dying and he has to go back to Sicily
• 33:34
  to be at his mom's side as she dies.
• 33:37
  We only get like five minutes of him and Cher together in this film.
• 33:40
  And the entire time, all she does is take care of him.
• 33:42
  Well, yeah, she buys him gum for the plane.
• 33:45
  You know, she tells him to wear a hat when he's out in the sun.
• 33:47
  He's a big. I mean, he goes to order the fish at the restaurant.
• 33:51
  That's what you say. You can't eat the fish.
• 33:53
  It's going to be too greasy.
• 33:54
  It's going to sit in your stomach and you're going to fly like that.
• 33:56
  That's the subtext is mama's dying. He needs another mother.
• 33:59
  Yeah, for sure. And to be fair, strong Italian woman.
• 34:02
  She's going to tell you what you're going to do and what what's on her mind.
• 34:06
  Well, she's reticent because her last husband died, got hit by a bus,
• 34:09
  which was bad luck, which is bad luck.
• 34:10
  I would say so. It's about as bad as it can get.
• 34:14
  I don't know. Well, she's alive. Yeah.
• 34:16
  But she coaches him through it. Yeah. Takes him in.
• 34:19
  When she sees him off at the airport, because this movie also has a very
• 34:22
  unhinged person at the airport because she's just watching the plane fly off.
• 34:26
  And this old Italian woman's like, you know, someone on that plane.
• 34:30
  And she's like, yeah, my fiance.
• 34:32
  I put a curse on that plane.
• 34:33
  Yeah, I love that old lady.
• 34:36
  He talks about how like my sister stole my man just to be a bitch.
• 34:40
  Yeah. And that admitted to me, just admitted to me that she never loved him.
• 34:44
  She just wanted to be better than me.
• 34:46
  So I curse her and share just goes, I don't believe in curses.
• 34:49
  Hold on. I want to back one thing up.
• 34:52
  So when I mildly touched on Pat Marita's accent,
• 34:57
  I was racist. Italians aren't people. OK.
• 35:02
  As long as we've got that out in front.
• 35:04
  So continue. The sweet.
• 35:07
  Now, like we said, this movie is aggressively Italian.
• 35:11
  There's one character. Very Italian.
• 35:13
  There's one. There's one.
• 35:14
  We're all just gesticulating wildly.
• 35:16
  There's one character near her grandfather who most of his lines
• 35:20
  are just in Italian.
• 35:22
  And he's talking to a Russian actor. Yeah.
• 35:25
  He's like, OK, so hold on.
• 35:27
  I want to talk about this.
• 35:28
  Since we're just on the grandpa right now, I he's my favorite character.
• 35:32
  Oh, he has the best.
• 35:33
  He has the best joke in the whole movie.
• 35:35
  But the best part about him is like not even like on screen.
• 35:40
  It's the fact that the actor himself is he's 140 now fucking blind.
• 35:46
  So he couldn't really see anything, couldn't hear anybody.
• 35:49
  He was deaf and he would watch other people.
• 35:53
  And this is how he would get his cues when they would stop talking.
• 35:57
  That's when he knew they were done.
• 35:58
  So it was his turn.
• 36:00
  So their mouth stopped moving.
• 36:02
  And then he would just say his line, no clue what they said.
• 36:06
  Anything like that.
• 36:07
  Just old deaf Russian dude.
• 36:09
  That's awesome.
• 36:11
  Owning this Italian grandpa role.
• 36:13
  I appreciated the dogs.
• 36:14
  Yeah. He has like five dogs that are just his.
• 36:17
  Oh, the best dog scene is when he comes back the first time
• 36:20
  and the dogs go to go up the stairs and that one dog.
• 36:23
  This is the stair.
• 36:24
  Just takes a header into the stairs.
• 36:26
  So good. Like he feeds.
• 36:28
  He feeds his daughter in law's food to the dog.
• 36:30
  Like we'll scoot.
• 36:32
  Like we'll have food served to him.
• 36:33
  Then he just gets up, walks it over and just hands it to the dogs.
• 36:35
  Yeah, it gets back down.
• 36:36
  And then his son, she's like, my dad needs another plate. Yeah.
• 36:42
  The best line is what Olympia Dukakis says to the grandpa.
• 36:45
  Yeah. After the he say she's like,
• 36:47
  if you if you give my food to those dogs one more time,
• 36:50
  I'm going to kick you to death. Yes.
• 36:53
  She is my favorite character in this movie.
• 36:55
  Yeah, she's great.
• 36:57
  I loved when the grandpa was meeting with all of his old dude friends
• 37:00
  at the like cemetery around the grave of one person
• 37:05
  that had all these flowers and stuff.
• 37:06
  But he's got all of his dogs and they're like kicking up dirt and stuff.
• 37:10
  Or does he leave? Yeah.
• 37:13
  Nobody gives a shit.
• 37:14
  It's just like they have an old dude conference.
• 37:18
  And then like he says, I need to make sure my son pays for the wedding.
• 37:22
  It's disrespectful if he doesn't pay for this wedding.
• 37:25
  Yeah. Sure. Comes home, tells them, tells her father that she's getting married.
• 37:29
  What again? Yeah.
• 37:31
  And they have a little fight about it.
• 37:33
  He doesn't like Johnny.
• 37:35
  I don't like John. I don't know.
• 37:36
  Johnny said he does.
• 37:37
  So it's like, all right, let's go wake up your mother.
• 37:39
  Go upstairs. Wake up, mom.
• 37:42
  Loretta's getting married.
• 37:43
  What again?
• 37:45
  I do love the line.
• 37:47
  Do you love him? No, ma. Good.
• 37:49
  Because if you love them, they know you can get away.
• 37:51
  They can get away with anything.
• 37:53
  Do you like him? I do, ma. Good.
• 37:56
  I like in the end when she's with Ronnie and it's like, do you love him?
• 38:00
  I do. I do, ma. Oh, God help us.
• 38:06
  This is a great these movies are great because we saw the first
• 38:09
  we saw Nick Cage's first marriage that went wrong.
• 38:11
  Now we see a second marriage. Perfect. Yeah.
• 38:14
  That's the connecting tissue for this one.
• 38:16
  And Cacoldry. Yeah. Cacoldry.
• 38:19
  Yeah, Peter. Come on.
• 38:20
  What? What the fuck?
• 38:21
  I said, right. Cacoldry.
• 38:25
  So the main point of this film is Johnny is like his one ask for Loretta
• 38:31
  was like, you got to get my you got to get my brother.
• 38:33
  We haven't spoken in five years. He works at this bread job.
• 38:36
  You got to call him up and like, get him.
• 38:39
  Nick Cage.
• 38:40
  So she goes to meet him and he's shoveling coal into an oven and he's sweaty.
• 38:45
  Sweaty. Peter.
• 38:47
  He's got those fucked up teeth that make him look like a human being.
• 38:50
  Yeah. So I did want to talk about this.
• 38:52
  I talked about it with Peter a little bit.
• 38:54
  Nick Cage has never been like attractive.
• 38:57
  Yes. Like he's never been horribly attractive.
• 39:00
  But before he got the veneers and his teeth were fucked up,
• 39:03
  his face had like class and character.
• 39:05
  And I like I would see him and like I see his like cute little boy smile.
• 39:08
  I'm like, I get it.
• 39:10
  Well, it's just the I said this earlier.
• 39:11
  This is the only film I've ever seen him in where he's like remotely attractive
• 39:17
  because he's got a sort of animal presence about him.
• 39:20
  He's a wolf. And he got to see Birdie.
• 39:23
  He actually acts in this.
• 39:24
  And so you feel you feel the the passion he has for share.
• 39:29
  Like he actually communicates that.
• 39:31
  So the studio did not like him for this role and did not want him in this.
• 39:36
  Correct. Like she he did us did a screen test with Cher.
• 39:40
  I can't remember who the other like front runner was,
• 39:43
  but the studio was like, no, he's bad. We don't like him.
• 39:45
  And Cher was like, no, he's the only one who's going to pull off crazy.
• 39:49
  I want him. And they're like, no.
• 39:50
  And she's like, cool. I quit.
• 39:52
  And they're like, all right, he can be in the movie.
• 39:54
  Go share. Yeah. Fucking power play.
• 39:56
  I know. I guess when you have one name, you can do what you want.
• 39:58
  That's right. To be fair.
• 40:01
  To be fair. Yeah, I know.
• 40:02
  I almost said that to be share. To be fair.
• 40:04
  The studio continued to try to sleep on this movie.
• 40:09
  And after it was done, they're like, this movie sucks.
• 40:13
  We're going to release it in two theaters.
• 40:17
  And they put it out in two theaters.
• 40:19
  But Goldie Hawn's Overboard
• 40:24
  is what they were putting all their money on.
• 40:25
  And that movie bombed.
• 40:28
  And so they're like, fuck, I guess we better release
• 40:31
  more of this Moonstruck movie.
• 40:33
  And it went to like many theaters.
• 40:37
  Like it just multiplexed right out because people loved it.
• 40:40
  And that's how that got.
• 40:42
  Well, even shares like in an interview while making the film was like,
• 40:46
  this isn't a good movie.
• 40:48
  She did not think she did a good job.
• 40:49
  She didn't think the movie was great.
• 40:50
  Want an Oscar for it. Yeah.
• 40:52
  Cher also didn't watch Daly's.
• 40:54
  So she doesn't really know whether it was a good movie or not.
• 40:57
  She's on the record in an interview saying that she wouldn't watch Daly's.
• 41:00
  Good. I mean, I hate to do that.
• 41:02
  I wouldn't either.
• 41:04
  I don't know.
• 41:05
  So she goes and meets Ronnie,
• 41:08
  who hates his brother for a slight from years prior.
• 41:12
  Ronnie blames Johnny for the loss of his hand and his bride or a slice.
• 41:16
  Hey, and we're back.
• 41:19
  Apparently, Johnny, like called out to him while he was slicing bread
• 41:22
  on the slicer and he looked away and his hand got caught in there, got mangled.
• 41:26
  And when he went home to his to his fiance, she left him for another man.
• 41:30
  A man with two hands. Yeah.
• 41:34
  I'm just going to say my I'm just going to say my quote now.
• 41:36
  Cher goes to like invite him to the wedding.
• 41:38
  He's pointing at his like wooden hand.
• 41:41
  It's kind of a sweet prosthetic. Yeah.
• 41:43
  It was a good wooden hand.
• 41:45
  He had some good wood. Good wood.
• 41:47
  I know freaking monument to justice.
• 41:50
  I lost my hand.
• 41:51
  I lost my bride.
• 41:53
  Johnny has his hand. Johnny has his bride.
• 41:56
  He wants me to take my heartache, put it away and forget. Love it.
• 42:02
  Another series of just extreme yelling every line in this film.
• 42:07
  Yeah, he's so like melodramatic.
• 42:09
  I mean, my quote from this is kind of from that same scene.
• 42:12
  Chrissy over on the wall.
• 42:14
  Bring me the big knife. I want to cut my throat. Oh, Johnny.
• 42:18
  I love how dramatic he is about it.
• 42:20
  Give me the big knife.
• 42:21
  I'm a fucking kill myself right here.
• 42:24
  Oh, Johnny, don't do it.
• 42:26
  He's like, I will fucking kill myself.
• 42:28
  It's going to stay for this until Johnny on your wedding night that I died.
• 42:35
  I love that melodrama.
• 42:38
  Yeah. Now he's spectacular.
• 42:42
  Then she like he lives upstairs.
• 42:43
  She takes him upstairs to like talk things out, at which point
• 42:48
  he she makes a mistake.
• 42:49
  She makes a mistake.
• 42:50
  Yeah, which he wants. I like it. Well done.
• 42:53
  Because they're all babies. Everyone's a baby.
• 42:55
  Yeah, yeah. That that is very true.
• 42:57
  All the men in this are just like children.
• 43:00
  Well, I would argue that he that scene where he flips the table over
• 43:04
  and he kisses her is where he stops being a baby. Yeah.
• 43:07
  And he starts becoming the man. I love that.
• 43:09
  Yeah. Well, he had a steak. Yeah.
• 43:10
  To eat it bloody. That's true.
• 43:12
  She made it for the blood.
• 43:13
  She's like, I need whiskey.
• 43:14
  So they have a sip of whiskey each, at which point he flips the table,
• 43:19
  squares up, slicks back the hair.
• 43:22
  Does a shake of the hips.
• 43:23
  Yeah, my favorite part. Then he like just grabs her and kisses her
• 43:27
  like sweeps her off her feet.
• 43:28
  And she's like, where are we going? The bedroom.
• 43:31
  Fine. Take me there. I don't care anymore.
• 43:34
  She wastes no time to cheat on her fiance.
• 43:36
  Well, it's because she actually has passionate feeling.
• 43:41
  Yeah, I get it. This guy does something. Yeah.
• 43:44
  No, they have. Johnny does nothing.
• 43:45
  Johnny was afraid to kneel like he didn't want to kneel down to propose, which.
• 43:50
  All right. I'm going to mess up his suit.
• 43:51
  This is my suit. I know I picked it out for you.
• 43:53
  It came with two pairs of pants.
• 43:55
  That's a nice suit.
• 43:57
  But I want to also circle back here.
• 43:59
  Nick Cage does not kneel down now in the end of the movie. It's true.
• 44:04
  He just says like straight up while standing on very me.
• 44:07
  But he does it in front of her whole family. That's fair.
• 44:10
  It's been less than 48 hours since she's gotten engaged,
• 44:12
  slept with her fiance's brother, goes to the church to confess.
• 44:17
  It's been at least a week since the engagement.
• 44:20
  They talk about on the phone.
• 44:23
  We talk about that.
• 44:23
  Insinuation of the past.
• 44:25
  Yeah. With the mom in the back. Yeah. Yeah.
• 44:27
  She's just in this.
• 44:29
  I don't know. I have a lot of old French relatives that remind me of that.
• 44:33
  And so the women in black at the bed.
• 44:36
  It looks like she's in a Renaissance painting.
• 44:38
  It's hilarious.
• 44:40
  I do like on my phone call, though, Johnny just
• 44:47
  is like cried his mom's bedside and she just like waves away.
• 44:50
  She's just like, I like how quietly he's trying to talk.
• 44:55
  Yeah, like he shushes share on the other side of the phone.
• 44:58
  Yeah. Well, to be fair, share is kind of say that a lot.
• 45:02
  Share is also like doing old person talk too loud on the phone.
• 45:07
  Voice is like, oh, you're in another country.
• 45:08
  I need to talk louder so you hear me from America.
• 45:12
  Got to really project. Yeah.
• 45:13
  So Cher and Ronnie sleep together.
• 45:16
  Then the Bella Luna comes out.
• 45:19
  The love moon. What did you guys think of the the friends of the family
• 45:23
  who talk about the love her aunt and uncle? Yeah.
• 45:25
  Oh, I loved their roles in the movie.
• 45:28
  I thought they were a lot of fun.
• 45:29
  I loved how dopey the uncle was.
• 45:32
  I loved how kind of like flighty the aunt seemed.
• 45:36
  They're just kind of off. They're out there.
• 45:38
  They're a little weird, but they're like they're sweet.
• 45:42
  Well, there are those people who are consistently in love.
• 45:44
  Yeah. Throughout the whole film.
• 45:45
  Yes. So every they don't have a problem.
• 45:48
  Every I mean, it's an examination of love and couples. Right.
• 45:51
  And so they are what you hope to be. Yeah.
• 45:54
  And they are perhaps they even get down in this chair.
• 45:57
  And Ronnie will be in 30 years.
• 46:00
  Yeah. Loretta's father is cheating on her mother and the mom knows it.
• 46:04
  His name is Cosmo. Well, she loved the name Cosmo assumes it.
• 46:07
  Well, yeah. Short for Cosmopolitan.
• 46:11
  Cosmo, not what?
• 46:12
  So she lives at home with her parents.
• 46:14
  And like, there's a couple of conversations about where she going to live.
• 46:17
  Johnny's going to move in with them. Sure.
• 46:19
  It's the multi generational family.
• 46:21
  Well, like the one night she stays out when she I mean, she's cheating on her fiance.
• 46:25
  But the one night she stays out like the mom's like,
• 46:28
  I lied to your father and said you came home like I know she's supposed to be 37
• 46:31
  in this movie. I can see it in the 80s.
• 46:35
  Yeah, I was hardly alive at this time.
• 46:38
  If in 1987, if I had been out all night,
• 46:42
  my parents would definitely have words with me.
• 46:44
  I wouldn't understand them. I'd be too.
• 46:46
  But the fact of the matter is like there is a concern.
• 46:50
  And especially if like especially as a woman. Yeah.
• 46:54
  As a woman, I'm assuming New York plays a part in it
• 46:58
  and just living in a multi generational family.
• 47:01
  I didn't grow up in like a family where I had like my grandparents
• 47:04
  and stuff living with me.
• 47:06
  I saw my grandma naked one time.
• 47:08
  Now it's really weird. It was weird.
• 47:10
  I saw my grandma have a stroke.
• 47:12
  Wow. Let's just get one up.
• 47:14
  My grandma kept it pretty PG 13 when I was watching.
• 47:18
  And we got there. High five.
• 47:22
  We need to end on that joke podcast over.
• 47:24
  Yeah, we're done.
• 47:25
  Moonstruck wins. It's better.
• 47:29
  OK, but I mean, these
• 47:32
  Peter's leave in the room.
• 47:34
  Immigrant families and stuff, you know, they bring different values, values.
• 47:38
  Yeah. And so I also thought it was kind of gossipy.
• 47:41
  Like, oh, definitely.
• 47:42
  You're going to wonder where your daughter is.
• 47:44
  Yeah. He's engaged to someone else who's in another country.
• 47:47
  Like, where were you?
• 47:49
  Oh, the harlotry is intense.
• 47:51
  I do like, though. So they have sex.
• 47:54
  She gets up at night to look at the moon, goes back to bed,
• 47:57
  wakes up again and suddenly realizes what she's done.
• 48:00
  Well, you know, in the middle of the night, you're still kind of like
• 48:03
  absorbed in like the she was probably still drunk.
• 48:06
  Yeah. Plus, there's the love moon.
• 48:07
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 48:08
  The Bella Luna Bell Luna.
• 48:10
  Also, Bella Legosi is dead.
• 48:12
  Did I ever tell you guys that I saw I got to see about house?
• 48:15
  You did. Yeah.
• 48:16
  No, fuck. It was at Sasquatch, maybe two thousand five.
• 48:20
  Peter Murphy threw out a rose and I caught it and we made eye contact.
• 48:26
  And it was love. It was love. Bella Luna.
• 48:28
  Also, there were all these like kids that were like 14 that were there for him
• 48:32
  because him was playing like before they opened up her bow house.
• 48:35
  I forgot that that was a thing.
• 48:37
  I just thought you meant for him.
• 48:38
  Yeah. Nope.
• 48:40
  For the band, Capital H.
• 48:41
  I am with the weird like heart hearted heartagram heartagram.
• 48:46
  I watched a lot. I watched some people, the BAM.
• 48:48
  Yeah, that's mostly where I know him from.
• 48:50
  Oh, yeah. Well, when the BAM are podcasting
• 48:54
  when BAM Margera is in rehab now in Lamar Odom,
• 48:58
  he owns runs a bunch of.
• 49:00
  Oh, yeah. That's a rehabs now.
• 49:02
  So BAM Margera is in one of Lamar Odom's rehab houses now.
• 49:06
  I hope he does well.
• 49:08
  But when I was there, like all these little like kids were like,
• 49:11
  who are these guys? What are they doing?
• 49:14
  And I was just like, you don't even know children.
• 49:16
  You don't even understand.
• 49:18
  God, you fucking children.
• 49:21
  So anyway.
• 49:23
  Uh, yeah.
• 49:24
  Bella Luna. That was my Peter Murphy.
• 49:26
  So Cher says it's over.
• 49:29
  You know, it's never going to happen.
• 49:30
  Don't come to it. I'm going to come to the wedding.
• 49:32
  Don't come to the wedding.
• 49:32
  So his one ask is he wants the two things he loves
• 49:36
  at the same time to go to the opera with the woman he loves.
• 49:39
  Can I just we just stop on that for a second? Because yes,
• 49:43
  we don't we don't take breaks.
• 49:45
  We don't we don't stop. We're very.
• 49:48
  I think that like, OK, I'm going to get a little like
• 49:50
  lit crit on you guys.
• 49:52
  But how much more adult can you get than loving the opera?
• 49:57
  Right. As like as a symbol for being an adult,
• 50:00
  for being a mature human.
• 50:03
  I low key love opera.
• 50:05
  I did too. Thank you.
• 50:07
  And it well, I'm a child.
• 50:09
  It didn't come about really late because when I was in
• 50:12
  you have the hair for it, when I was still doing my undergrad in Montana,
• 50:17
  the only grad school that expressed interest in me
• 50:22
  was Ohio Conservatory of Opera.
• 50:25
  And at the time, I was way more interested in partying and stuff.
• 50:29
  And I was like, I don't want to go to opera school for lighting.
• 50:33
  I want to do something else.
• 50:34
  And then maybe like 10 years later, I looked back at my portfolio
• 50:37
  and it's like all I did like for lighting design, like I did dance stuff.
• 50:43
  I did music stuff and shows.
• 50:47
  So it's like, yeah, I should absolutely just be doing opera
• 50:50
  because it's the best way to do incredible, like insane lighting
• 50:55
  and work on like super fun things without having to like
• 51:00
  really think about it like a musical because it's just all music.
• 51:03
  Yeah. And it's I should have done it.
• 51:05
  I should have gone to Ohio.
• 51:08
  I'm shaking my head next. Great.
• 51:09
  Regret. Yeah.
• 51:10
  And why didn't I go to become a lighting designer for the operas?
• 51:15
  I would not be a washed out lighting designer turned electrician.
• 51:20
  So they both get a bit of a glow up shared.
• 51:23
  Has, you know, a little hair montage by, you know, new dress, new shoes
• 51:27
  meets with Nick Cage, who has a really nice suit on.
• 51:31
  So same hair, same wild hair.
• 51:33
  You can't tame the wolf.
• 51:34
  Now it's pushed back.
• 51:36
  But they go to the opera where they run into her father who's on a date.
• 51:40
  So that's awkward.
• 51:41
  Yeah. Cosmo with Lorna Lorna Lorna is something like that.
• 51:44
  Yeah. OK. The actress's name is Mimi then.
• 51:47
  And then, yeah, you know, there there's a bunch of like who's on first,
• 51:50
  like, who's that? Who's that?
• 51:52
  And he says he doesn't want his daughter to be what I'm assuming is Italian for whore.
• 51:55
  Yes. Who thought it's it's whore.
• 51:58
  Yeah. It's the same in French.
• 52:00
  Wait, can we be a foreign language podcast?
• 52:02
  We can. OK. Only for an Italian again.
• 52:05
  Butana, butana. Yeah.
• 52:07
  And in French, put on.
• 52:10
  Yeah. Or pitas if it's a woman, actually.
• 52:12
  So it does a man and it's asked this woman.
• 52:14
  But that betas.
• 52:16
  No, no, I'm talking about men.
• 52:17
  I'm looking at Sean over here.
• 52:19
  But they put the T.A.
• 52:22
  Poutine put put down whore.
• 52:26
  Sex worker, sir.
• 52:28
  Um, he's eating it nice. Yes.
• 52:30
  Well, this is going on.
• 52:31
  One of my favorite scenes is when Loretta's mom goes to have dinner alone
• 52:35
  at the same Italian restaurant where Loretta got engaged or proposed to.
• 52:39
  Can we talk about Bobo?
• 52:41
  Oh, yeah, we can talk about Bobo.
• 52:43
  Bobo is one of the servers here at this restaurant, and he is incredibly like
• 52:49
  he is. He's a simple man.
• 52:51
  Igor, he's an Igor.
• 52:52
  Yeah. Like he is Dr. Frankenstein's Igor.
• 52:55
  He's just like, oh, yes, yes, yes.
• 52:57
  Oh, I'll set your table for you, Mrs.
• 53:01
  I've got the champagne.
• 53:02
  But like so she winds up having dinner with
• 53:06
  John Mahoney because they're both eating alone now, where she has my favorite
• 53:10
  line of the film, which is, you know, let me give you some advice.
• 53:13
  My mom gave me don't shit where you eat.
• 53:16
  Yeah, because he's a college professor who's dating his students.
• 53:19
  Yeah. And he she approaches it so well, too, like as if it's some old wives
• 53:24
  like sage tale.
• 53:26
  It's like don't shit where you eat. Yeah.
• 53:28
  No, she is my favorite character in this movie.
• 53:30
  One hundred percent. She fucking rules.
• 53:31
  And great performance all the way through.
• 53:34
  And then Mahoney tries to like take her home.
• 53:36
  Oh, he he tries hard. Yeah.
• 53:38
  He does a great job of being a charming person.
• 53:40
  Yeah. Up until he becomes kind of the sex pest.
• 53:42
  He he credits this film with getting him like kind of known.
• 53:46
  And what's the point of him, though?
• 53:49
  So we have the mom and dad who are having marriage problems.
• 53:53
  We have the aunt and uncle who are, you know, that happy married couple
• 53:55
  that have been together.
• 53:56
  Being in love and in a relationship is the ideal state.
• 53:59
  Yeah. And he is sort of the warning of especially for men.
• 54:03
  Yeah. Right. If they don't do that, this is like happens to you.
• 54:05
  He's never been in love.
• 54:07
  He's bored and jaded with life.
• 54:09
  Like he says, you know, it's not that it's not that he's attracted to the whip,
• 54:14
  the young women as much as it is like he's been doing his job for so long
• 54:18
  now that he has no passion for it anymore.
• 54:20
  But he sees a young face and sees someone who is passionate about something
• 54:23
  he used to be and he just wants to be near that for a while.
• 54:26
  And it's the whole fear of death thing that she keeps going on about.
• 54:28
  I do. I mean, it's this fear of irrelevance, which is death for him.
• 54:31
  Yeah. So what's what's interesting, the fear of death thing comes up
• 54:34
  a lot with Olivia Dukakis's character.
• 54:36
  And then what's funny to me is when Johnny does come back,
• 54:39
  he's the only one who says it. Yeah.
• 54:42
  Outright. Yeah.
• 54:43
  She has my other great line is Olympia Dukakis.
• 54:46
  When Cosmo comes back home that night from the opera, Johnny's there.
• 54:50
  Johnny's back from Sicily.
• 54:51
  His mom's made a miraculous recovery.
• 54:53
  But Cosmo comes back in and she's like, Where have you been?
• 54:54
  It's like, I don't know where I've been.
• 54:56
  He just like blows her off.
• 54:57
  He's like, I don't know where I've been.
• 54:58
  I don't know where I'm going.
• 54:59
  And she just looks at him and goes, Cosmo,
• 55:02
  you're going to die one day just like the rest of us.
• 55:07
  Yeah. She's amazing.
• 55:08
  Saying the quiet part out loud.
• 55:10
  That was great.
• 55:12
  Also, I do love Cosmo's reaction as he comes in.
• 55:15
  Just be like, I don't know where I've been.
• 55:16
  I don't know where I'm going.
• 55:17
  I don't I don't know when it is.
• 55:19
  It's like, I don't know why.
• 55:21
  Johnny's come back.
• 55:22
  Their mother's made a miraculous recovery.
• 55:24
  He needs to talk to Loretta right now, but she's out.
• 55:27
  No one knows where she's at.
• 55:28
  She comes home the next day, has a love bite.
• 55:31
  Johnny's on his way.
• 55:32
  That's a hickey for people.
• 55:34
  No, they both do. Yeah, they both do.
• 55:35
  Yeah. No, she's like she's like you.
• 55:38
  Like, you know, she's like Johnny's going to.
• 55:39
  I was like, What? And her hair still kind of like done up.
• 55:41
  And she's like frantically trying to like dress down.
• 55:44
  She's like, You have a love bite. Cover that up.
• 55:46
  Doorbell rings.
• 55:47
  Mago's to answer it. It's it's Ronnie.
• 55:49
  I also like that this is the second time that shared
• 55:52
  does a costume change in a closet.
• 55:54
  Yes, that's true.
• 55:55
  Like in Nick Cage's apartment and then now this here.
• 55:59
  So this is the scene that I think most people know from this film.
• 56:02
  So it's Ronnie. Nick Cage comes in and Dukakis is like,
• 56:07
  Oh, well, you want some breakfast?
• 56:08
  And shares like, No, he doesn't.
• 56:10
  Nick Cage is just like, Yes, Mrs.
• 56:12
  Castorini, I would love some oatmeal.
• 56:15
  So just such a dumb.
• 56:17
  But it's like shares like, No, he's not saying he's going.
• 56:21
  And he's like, Yes, I would love some oatmeal, please.
• 56:25
  So there's so they sit down at the table awkwardly waiting for Johnny to show up.
• 56:29
  It's such an awkward breakfast.
• 56:31
  And then the dad comes down and is like, What's going on here?
• 56:35
  And like gets introduced to Ronnie finally, like officially.
• 56:37
  Grandpa comes down.
• 56:39
  Doorbell rings again. Everyone's nervous.
• 56:41
  It's the aunt and uncle.
• 56:42
  So now they're there. They're all having coffee.
• 56:44
  And then the last doorbell is Johnny coming in,
• 56:46
  who, guess what, wants to call off the marriage because his mom,
• 56:49
  his mom had a miraculous recovery.
• 56:51
  And if they get married, she'll die. Yeah.
• 56:54
  Superstition runs throughout this entire thing.
• 56:56
  Yeah. He told mom that she was or that they're going to get married.
• 56:59
  She recovered.
• 57:00
  And he's like, Oh, we can't get married now because it'll kill her.
• 57:03
  Yeah. And then she gets a weird jump to make.
• 57:06
  Then she gets so pissed off because like, you know, you said we were going to get
• 57:09
  married, like she doesn't want to marry this guy, but she's just like,
• 57:12
  that was a promise.
• 57:13
  Because if we learned anything from Tommy Corman, nobody backs out on it.
• 57:16
  So he wants his ring back, which is which is his pinky ring.
• 57:19
  Yeah. And then, you know, you guys should all start wearing pinkie rings.
• 57:23
  I think it's just I've been looking for a pinky ring.
• 57:25
  I'm looking for a really good one, actually.
• 57:28
  And then Nick Cage just goes, Oh, Maria.
• 57:29
  Yeah. So where's the ring?
• 57:31
  And he's just like, Johnny.
• 57:34
  So he takes Johnny's pinky ring and proposes.
• 57:37
  And then, yeah.
• 57:37
  And then that's pretty much the end of the film.
• 57:40
  They're all having champagne with sugar cubes.
• 57:43
  Yeah. Don't forget the scene where Olympia Dukakis confronts Cosmo.
• 57:47
  Oh, yes.
• 57:48
  Because that that's
• 57:51
  as powerful. Yeah.
• 57:52
  He says, What do I have to show for my life?
• 57:55
  And everything he has to show is right around.
• 57:57
  Yeah. You know, and she reminds me of that.
• 57:59
  She calls him out for that.
• 58:01
  I love that she's like Cosmo.
• 58:04
  You have to stop seeing this other person.
• 58:06
  And then he like just there's a pause and he stands up,
• 58:09
  smacks his hand down on the table, stands there for a second,
• 58:13
  sits back down and just says, OK, that's a good way to take it.
• 58:17
  Oh, wait.
• 58:18
  He knows he's beat.
• 58:19
  There's nothing else for him to do.
• 58:21
  Guys. Best joke is in the scene.
• 58:22
  It's before Johnny shows up.
• 58:23
  And it's just the whole family's around the table
• 58:25
  and everyone just awkwardly waiting for the doorbell to ring.
• 58:28
  And Grandpa just goes, Someone tell a joke.
• 58:31
  My favorite grandpa line is after that, even when everything's like done,
• 58:37
  everybody's like, you know, getting married and he's just sitting there
• 58:41
  crying and they're like, what's wrong?
• 58:42
  He's like, I'm so confused.
• 58:45
  That was my favorite part. Yeah.
• 58:46
  So and then this movie ends like all great adult documentaries
• 58:50
  with a knife fight with like all great adult documents
• 58:54
  fight with the chubby guy who's been cuckolded is just sitting in the corner
• 58:59
  watching. Oh, I love the family photo that they show during the credits.
• 59:04
  It's so awkward, too, because like, why is Johnny in that photo?
• 59:09
  It's like obviously they got up from breakfast
• 59:11
  and they took an engagement photo with everybody that was there.
• 59:14
  And like, Grandpa's there.
• 59:16
  But Johnny's just standing like in the middle, weirdly by himself.
• 59:20
  Got to be part of the family.
• 59:21
  So what do we think of Nick Cage's performance in this?
• 59:24
  The Italian accent. Where do we land on that Italian American accent?
• 59:27
  Yeah. Actually, I grew I knew people like that in New York.
• 59:31
  So I would say, yeah, you're the it's not bad.
• 59:35
  It's a little like some of the his one was OK.
• 59:38
  Some of the other people's Italians were a little too Italian for me.
• 59:42
  Well, here's the thing about it.
• 59:43
  Aggressively Italian. Yeah.
• 59:45
  The aunt that like barely had much in it was the dialect coach
• 59:49
  and hand coach for basically every non coach.
• 59:54
  I love that there's a hand coach.
• 59:55
  Yeah, they taught people like shares.
• 59:58
  You can tell I've got a quote from where she's talking about like learning.
• 1:00:03
  It was a good hand.
• 1:00:06
  The guy who played Johnny was like teaching her how to say things like theater.
• 1:00:10
  It's like you're going to go to the theater, but it's not.
• 1:00:13
  I'm going to go to the theater.
• 1:00:14
  It's the theater.
• 1:00:16
  There's a hand motion that you are presented.
• 1:00:18
  It's like it's the theater.
• 1:00:20
  The aunt taught Cher Dukakis
• 1:00:23
  and one of the other people who has zero Italian in them.
• 1:00:27
  How to use this accent of the dialect.
• 1:00:30
  And then also like just did hand talk coaching
• 1:00:34
  and taught them how to like be Italian.
• 1:00:38
  I thought Nick Cage was good in this movie.
• 1:00:40
  Oh, I think he's very good.
• 1:00:41
  I thought you could really see the change.
• 1:00:43
  There's like it's like there's before Cher and after Cher. Right.
• 1:00:46
  And so he's definitely a different.
• 1:00:48
  He said, and he does that well.
• 1:00:50
  And like I said, I actually found him attract.
• 1:00:53
  Like that's saying something.
• 1:00:55
  I do not find him attractive. Hardly ever.
• 1:00:59
  There's not a lot here.
• 1:01:01
  I find few occasions where I don't find him attractive now.
• 1:01:05
  But to be fair, I see him more than I see my girlfriend. So
• 1:01:10
  did we do a quote for you?
• 1:01:11
  Well, his hip movement was the quote.
• 1:01:13
  Oh, that's true.
• 1:01:14
  Yeah, really?
• 1:01:16
  I mean, those hips could talk.
• 1:01:17
  Those hips don't lie.
• 1:01:18
  To be honest, he doesn't have the quotes in this film.
• 1:01:22
  Now, this is a share.
• 1:01:23
  He's almost like a straight man in a comedy.
• 1:01:26
  Yeah. Everybody's playing off of him.
• 1:01:27
  But he's the one who's the most like acts the most unhinged.
• 1:01:30
  Well, he does have the biggest crazy moments. Yeah.
• 1:01:33
  And he's very obviously very good at that.
• 1:01:36
  And very early in his career, this is only like his 10th movie or something.
• 1:01:40
  Yeah, something like that.
• 1:01:41
  So where do you guys put it in the good cage?
• 1:01:43
  Bad movie, bad cage, good movie, good cage, good movie.
• 1:01:46
  Yeah, good cage, good movie.
• 1:01:47
  This is a good cage, good movie. Yeah.
• 1:01:49
  And I've got a quote from an interview here from Nick Cage,
• 1:01:53
  just discussing why he did Moonstruck.
• 1:01:57
  One of the reasons I did Moonstruck was because I thought it would allow me
• 1:02:00
  to take more of a chance with my next film,
• 1:02:03
  which is a low budget black comedy called Vampire's Kiss
• 1:02:06
  that hardly has mass commercial appeal written all over it.
• 1:02:10
  He said, I play a man who thinks who's insane and thinks he's a vampire.
• 1:02:15
  Everyone told me not to do it,
• 1:02:16
  but the script grabbed me by the collar and screamed,
• 1:02:19
  if you don't do this movie, you're a coward.
• 1:02:22
  I figured that in order to succeed in the film business,
• 1:02:25
  you can't be afraid to roll the dice.
• 1:02:27
  And as long as I'm betting, I want to bet everything I've got.
• 1:02:30
  So he only did this so he could do Vampire's Kiss, which I think is great.
• 1:02:34
  Yeah, that's astounding. Vampire's Kiss is well,
• 1:02:37
  it's it's the movie that really rocketed him into insanity.
• 1:02:42
  Yes, it developed the character of a cage. Yeah. So Nick Moonstruck.
• 1:02:50
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:02:51
  It was a real tight one for me.
• 1:02:53
  They're both fun. They're both very enjoyable.
• 1:02:56
  I for me, I think it's Moonstruck's just going to
• 1:02:59
  I'm going to enjoy watching that again.
• 1:03:01
  Yeah. Putting two romantic comedies against each other,
• 1:03:03
  I think is good in my world because I would usually be biased
• 1:03:08
  against the romantic comedy.
• 1:03:10
  I think we talked about this with It Could Happen to You.
• 1:03:13
  It's not really my bag, but this was done well,
• 1:03:17
  just like It Could Happen to You was done well. Yeah. And same director.
• 1:03:21
  It's fun. It's a real ensemble piece.
• 1:03:23
  It's so Nick Cage isn't like prevalent in it.
• 1:03:26
  If I had to like base it on how much Nick Cage you get,
• 1:03:29
  he's more involved in the other movie.
• 1:03:31
  But he's not better in the other movie.
• 1:03:33
  No, this is the better movie.
• 1:03:36
  Better performance, better performance.
• 1:03:38
  Weirder. This is I mean, he's a one handed Nicolas Cage.
• 1:03:41
  Yeah, he lost his head.
• 1:03:43
  It's he lost his bride.
• 1:03:46
  It's a weird movie. Yeah.
• 1:03:48
  Oh, the the scene where Cher slaps him
• 1:03:51
  and she's just like, slap out or snap out of it.
• 1:03:54
  Nick Cage had people coming up to him for like years after this movie.
• 1:03:59
  And they'd be like, snap out of it.
• 1:04:00
  But some people would also slap him.
• 1:04:03
  She also slaps the shit out of him that second time.
• 1:04:05
  Well, yeah, she slaps him twice.
• 1:04:06
  But Nick Cage is like, I don't know why people think that they can just come up
• 1:04:09
  to me and slap me and say snap out of it.
• 1:04:12
  Maybe they think I'm going to get them a role in something, but I can't.
• 1:04:17
  Real quick.
• 1:04:18
  There is some this weekend, K or cage news.
• 1:04:21
  We haven't done that in a while.
• 1:04:22
  The trailer for sympathy for the devil came out.
• 1:04:24
  Yes. That looks astounding.
• 1:04:27
  I'm real excited for that.
• 1:04:28
  Also today, a gameplay trailer dropped for the Nicholas Cage,
• 1:04:32
  Dead by Daylight DLC, where you do get to play as Nicholas Cage.
• 1:04:36
  Running away from movie monsters.
• 1:04:38
  Oh, nice.
• 1:04:39
  You can see the one running away.
• 1:04:41
  I was hoping the cage was going to be the monster.
• 1:04:44
  Both would be good, but I kind of want.
• 1:04:47
  I hope there's good like Nick Cage lines like while he's running away,
• 1:04:50
  like I just can't figure out why this is happening to me.
• 1:04:56
  I'm pretty sure he didn't record any lines for this.
• 1:04:58
  They're just using lines of his and the model pretty bad face scan.
• 1:05:02
  The model of the Nick Cage model is truly not good.
• 1:05:05
  Yeah. Oh, just in terms of like things that Nick Cage normally doesn't do.
• 1:05:10
  I found out that his first role was in a television series.
• 1:05:14
  He didn't tell anybody when he got started.
• 1:05:16
  He just got a like part in this one TV show that didn't make it.
• 1:05:22
  And then he made three films with his uncle.
• 1:05:25
  I think it's good he changed his name. Yeah.
• 1:05:27
  Oh, for sure. I think it was only like one movie where he was.
• 1:05:31
  Nick Coppola. That was just fast.
• 1:05:33
  I mean, talk about NEPO, baby.
• 1:05:34
  So he got away from that. Yeah.
• 1:05:38
  Anything else you want to say?
• 1:05:40
  No, I mean, so next up, we've got Lord of War and Captain Corelli's mandolin.
• 1:05:44
  So who do you have as guests on that?
• 1:05:47
  Just us. Do you want to come back?
• 1:05:49
  I don't know if I want to watch this movie.
• 1:05:51
  We don't either.
• 1:05:52
  Yeah. Also, get ready for some really good, quote unquote accent work.
• 1:05:57
  I don't think that's allowed on this podcast.
• 1:05:59
  Apparently, it becomes racist immediately.
• 1:06:02
  Yeah, exactly.
• 1:06:04
  So we're going to do it.
• 1:06:05
  Oh, actually, this is something I wanted to talk about.

• 1:07:25
  Marissa, did you have anything you wanted to plug?
• 1:07:28
  I don't that's really weird when people don't expect
• 1:07:31
  I know to ask them if they have anything you want to plug,
• 1:07:34
  because we got all sorts of pine cones and like dirt and stuff outside.
• 1:07:37
  I hear that's how bears do it.
• 1:07:39
  They just eat a bunch of pine cones and dirt and then they hibernate.
• 1:07:42
  I'm very they plug it up.
• 1:07:44
  And that's that.
• 1:07:45
  But you called her by
• 1:07:47
  the cold tree, the cold tree.
• 1:07:50
  And then the.
• 1:07:55
  Five.
• 1:08:00
  That's because you're drinking diet coke with baloney in it.
• 1:08:04
  Pimento log.
• 1:08:06
  Bologna. Mm hmm.
• 1:08:07
  This is a fine. Can you imagine slurping?
• 1:08:11
  I'm just going to keep talking about this.
• 1:08:12
  Slurping some champagne through a baloney straw.
• 1:08:16
  Like if you just cored out a piece of baloney and like,
• 1:08:19
  oh, drink some grape juice through it.
• 1:08:26
  Just bubbly, meaty juices in your mouth.
• 1:08:30
  Segway out of this one, Sean.
• 1:08:32
  Talk about God help us.
• 1:08:35
  Now keep going. This is this gold podcast gold.
• 1:08:41
  Yeah, but I am very bad with money.
• 1:08:44
  The people at home who don't know me, like I like to just spend money on jokes.
• 1:08:48
  I prefer it that way.
• 1:08:50
  I don't I don't need a lot of things, but I have a lot of things at home
• 1:08:53
  that are one off jokes and it would have been another Elvis suit.
• 1:08:58
  And another. Yeah, we're not going to approach that.
• 1:09:01
  I was going to say, I feel like that's highly reusable.
• 1:09:04
  I would use it all the time.
• 1:09:05
  Yeah, but you need like skinny Elvis and fat Elvis.
• 1:09:07
  And this part of my life, I'm in a fat Elvis phase.
• 1:09:10
  Well, you just need zippers on the side, right? To let it out.
• 1:09:13
  That really that really irked me for some reason.
• 1:09:18
  You can't tell me that something irks you because I'm going to latch onto it
• 1:09:21
  and I'm going to fucking you're going to get a bunch of weird letters from Nick now.
• 1:09:25
  Yeah, that's all you're going to get slipped on your door.
• 1:09:27
  Remy's going to go wild.
• 1:09:30
  That's their dog.
• 1:09:31
  Sorry, dog.
• 1:09:34
  I'm out and you hard.
