Nicolas Cage is one of the most elusive actors of our time. At times revered, at others unappreciated, he is often an artist near impossible to pigeonhole. As his extensive career spans decades, we decided to dive deep into this actor’s history and discuss the greatest roles in an enigmatic portfolio of performances.

And what better way to do that, than with a Hollywood Outsider Movie Battle Royale! Our hosts once again invite a guest to discuss our 8 favorite Nic Cage performances, and ultimately decide on the Cagiest Cage role in movie history! Get ready for a Nic Cage Match! 

Also on this week’s podcast: reviews of Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, The Punisher, and Raw, net neutrality, The Raid’s Gareth Evans heads to TV with Gangs of London, VOD releases, and Aaron discusses his recent visit to the set of NBC’s The Blacklist!

Join in on our conversation and listen to the latest episode of The Hollywood Outsider.

We might have taken the week off here from our 2017 Podcast Awards winning show, The Hollywood Outsider, but that does not mean we do not have quality entertainment to offer!

As you traverse the country, hunt for something to deafen family members, or just to ease the chaos of shopping; we have selected three of our most popular topics from earlier this year and combined them into on mammoth episode.

We kick things off with a quick review of Wonder and Radius, followed by those moments when our favorite TV shows jumped the shark. Next up, we discuss what it takes to craft a great season finale. And finally we arrive at the most heroic female characters in film and television.

If you are new to the show, here is a highlight reel of what listeners enjoyed earlier in the year. And if you are a long-time listener, enjoy three of your favorite topics all in one episode!

If you want to support the show and partake in bonuses like this, head over to Patreon.com/thehollywoodoutsider and join in!

Also on this Hollywood Outsider sampler platter, you can hear an exclusive edition of our Bad Movie Night podcast! Each month we dissect and decipher a seemingly awful film, and try to understand why some just might love it.

We all love TV shows, but sometimes we love a television series long after we should have parted ways on good terms. This week, we discuss when is that moment we walk away from a beloved TV show? Also, what current shows would we like to see changes from before we depart, as well as which ones we would love to see return in some form or another. 

Also on this week’s podcast: Aladdin turns 25, reviews of Thor: Ragnarok and A Bad Mom’s Christmas, Twilight Zone and Lord of the Rings return to TV, Disney is steamrolling theaters, women are finally claiming original spy franchises, and another round of Movie Innuendo. This time, in the form of Harry Potter!

Imprisoned, the mighty Thor finds himself in a cage match against the Hulk, his former ally. Thor find it in himself to escape his chains, defeat a planetary system bent on containing him, and reach home before Hela, his sister, destroys Asgard once and for all. 

For this bonus episode, Aaron, Scott, and John are joined by listeners Steve and Michael to discuss Marvel's latest opus. The film boasts a Guardians of the Galaxy-like tone, does it work to the film's advantage? Or does it hinder a franchise?

Everything is up for discussion as we head into the arena and battle it out over Thor: Ragnarok!

Superhero mashups are becoming more and more prevalent these days. Hulk visits Thor, Batman visits Wonder Woman, Iron Man plays Uncle Ben in Spider-Man, they’re EVERYWHERE! But often times, studio rights keep our perfect pairings from ever happening. So this week, we pretend we live in a perfect world and discuss who our ideal superhero matchups would be!

And then, head over to Hawkins, Indiana as we discuss every single character and arc over Season 2 of Netflix’s Stranger Things. From Eleven’s journey to Mike’s absence to Bob Newby: Superhero. It’s all covered and things are about to get even stranger on this extended and spoiler-filled look at the biggest TV event since Game of Thrones!
