GBW #44: Cage Match Vol. 2 - Caged Emotions (Adaptation / Dying of the Light / The Weather Man)

<p>Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Good, The Bad, and The What!? The show in which we discuss three films that we have deemed "good," "bad," or "what!?" within a subgenre, theme, motif, director or actor's filmography, and more!</p> <p>This week, Chris and Ryan dive into their second "Cage Match," this time about<strong> Nicolas Cage</strong> dramas. We start with director <strong>Spike Jonze</strong> and writer <strong>Charlie Kaufman</strong>'s brilliant "<strong>Adaptation</strong>" (with a top-tier, dual-role performance from Cage), <strong>Paul Schrader</strong>'s taken-away-in-post-production "<strong>Dying of the Light</strong>" with a committed Cage but sloppily put together, before rounding out with <strong>Gore Verbinski</strong>'s strange, idiosyncratic (and a strange favorite of Ryan's) "<strong>The Weather Man</strong>."</p> <p>You can find this and future episodes on our website&nbsp;<a href="https://www.thegoodbadwhat.com/" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">thegoodbadwhat.com</a>.
