Cage Match

Private investigator and horrifying porn aficionado Tom Welles enters the mix, this time working with the FBI to track down a rogue agent going by the alias Ganley Stoodspeed. Chemicals! Fisticuffs! Iain saying the name "Nine Inch Nails" one too many times! This one's got it all, so be sure to tune in! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Con artist. Flim-flam man. Matchstick man. This is the story of Roy Waller, and that time he tried to pull one over on an on-the-run biochemist named Stanley Goodspeed. Intrigue! Car chases! Two dudes arguing about vinyl! This one's got it all, so be sure to give it a listen! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

This week's Cage Match takes the title of our show literally! In the biggest Cage of all! Alcatraz. The Rock. We watched The Rock this week which means Stanley Goodspeed has stepped into the ring to fight our favorite marine Nicky in a NEVER BEFORE SEEN scene from the movie. Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Gather 'round the Yule log, kids, it's time for a new episode of Cage Match that's sure to be a part of everyone's holiday tradition! Listen close as the ghost of Jacob Marley gives fright to another troubled soul on Christmas eve, but this time things might not work out in his favor! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

We're back from our week hiatus, and this is how we reward our faithful listeners: get heck of sick and watch the wrong dang movie! We suffered through a terrible movie with a negligible amount of shark punches, and then set off on the high seas to figure out how newly recruited seaman Nicky takes to the leadership of Captain Charles McVay. Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Let's take a trip down memory lane to the glorious 1940s! Men were men! Women were not men! Everybody smoked so much it hurt! Iain starts things off in the deep end as we briefly discuss the semantics of the relationship between men and women in the '40s, and then we hurl a rowdy youth back in time on a train ride he'll never forget! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

We're a little worse for wear this week as we watch one of Francis Ford Coppola's more...artistic films, Rumble Fish. And weird turns to weirder when Smokey, the teenage bad boy, has to get in a fight with Jack Singer, the thirty-something gambler. Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Get ready for the most exciting fight of the year, super genius roboticist Dr. Tenma vs super bad gambler Jack Singer! This one's guaranteed to leave you on the edge of your seat! You won't believe your ears! Also Kevin keeps doing an old man voice and it creeps everyone out. Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Chronic gambler and all-around goofus Jack Singer steps into the ring! Get ready for a whole lot of Elvis as we take this fight into The King's Court: Las Vegas! But will Singer be able to shake those hips hard enough to beat the returning champ, Balthazar Blake? Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

We spend the first twenty minutes of this episode talking about how much we hated this movie, so you KNOW it's going to be good. Watch english teacher and Ponzi scheme victim Will Gerard fight 777th degree sorcerer Balthazar Blake as we return to those fateful days in the Arcana Cabana! What could possibly go wrong? Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

We get meta in this week's episode as twin screenwriters Charlie and Donald Kaufman square off against 777th degree sorcerer Balthazar Blake. Little known fact, Charlie Kaufman was originally asked to adapt the film from the Fantasia short, and some things just had to be left on the cutting room floor before it could make it to the screen. Specifically the masturbating. Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Three-time CHAM-PEEN H.I. McDunnough faces his most powerful adversary yet: Balthazar Blake of The Sorcerer's Apprentice. How do we get these two characters in a room together? We have to find our way to the most magical, mystical place in all the American southwest: Area 51! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Our returning champ H.I. McDunnough takes on his most challenging opponent yet: an ant. Wizard! An ant wizard. Listen to three animation snobs tell the early '00s what-for when it comes to crappy CG! Marvel at Cara's thirst for blood! Hide the children from all that gosh dang nudity! Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Oliver Stone's work returns to shine a light on how ignorant we are regarding recent American history. Case in point: we don't know the difference between the FBI and CIA, and continuously call Camp Peary "CIA School". We mine everything we can from the five minutes of screen time Cage has as Hank Forrester and throw him into the ring with H.I. McDunnough. How do we get these characters from opposite sides of the country together you ask? You just might find your answer in...THE CYBERVERSE!   Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

H.I. McDunnough from Raising Arizona takes on returning champ Ben Gates from National Treasure! America's favorite treasure hunter goes up against America's favorite repeat offender in a fight for the ages! Car chases! Guns! Diapers! All that and more in this week's episode! Be sure to follow us on Facebook, Tumblr, and Twitter @cagematchpod to tell us who YOU think should win next weeks fight.  Special thanks to Matt Bloomstrand for mixing and providing the theme music for our show!

Our first fight in Cage Match is a...err...controversial start to the series as we watch Oliver Stone's 2006 docudrama World Trade Center. We want to stress that we have the deepest respect for the victims, first responders, and everyone affected by the attack on September 11, 2001. Now listen as three dum-dums stumble their way through a hypothetical scenario in which National Treasure's Ben Gates faces off against Sgt. John McLoughlin at the 9/11 Memorial!

In celebration of Nicolas Cage's birthday, January 7th, we introduce a new podcast discussing the finer points of a great actor's filmography. Namely, what would happen if every one of his characters fought each other? In this first episode we discuss our own histories with Cage and get into the analytical mind of Benjamin Franklin Gates.
