GBW #18: Cage Match Vol. 1 - In the Nic of Time (The Rock / Gone in 60 Seconds / Con Air)

<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>On this week's episode, Chris and Ryan dive into the first of a new subseries entitled "Cage Match," in honor of the great <strong>Nicholas Cage</strong>. Given the wide gamut of films in Cage's filmography - across many genres and to varying degrees of quality - we figured discussing his career occasionally through various genres made sense, and for this episode, Chris chose Nic Cage action films, specifically those with a "ticking clock" element (and all from the Jerry Bruckheimer factory). We start with 1996's "<strong>The Rock</strong>," <strong>Michael Bay</strong>'s action masterpiece and the origin story for "Nic Cage: Action Hero," following up with 2000's forgettable "<strong>Gone in 60 Seconds</strong>," before concluding with the "trashterpiece" that brought Chris and Ryan to blows: 1997's "<strong>Con Air</strong>" (one of them really does not like the film while the other stands by its schlocky charms).&nbsp;</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>.
