That was a deep dive Clarence Beebe would’ve been proud of. The movie sounds interesting. I wonder if Nicholas Cage’s fall or at least slow sink is because Francis Ford Coppola doesn’t have the reputation he once did. Or is it that, like Michael Caine, he’ll do absolutely anything just because he loves the work? Is Nick a kind of omen, or foreshadowing of a future Matt Damon? Whatever, these questions are what TMZ is for, if they still have that.

I wish you’d started these four shows earlier, so I could’ve put the discussed DVDs into my Amazon cart for Prime Day, but oh well, it’s good to get a good, robust review with lots of references and I’m so impressed at how many schlock movies you’ve both seen.

  Maybe we couldn’t help ourselves in seeing so much schlock, but you’re welcome, DJ!
