What is it to Act? And what’s so special about Nicholas Cage? - a podcast by Aim for the Bushes

We’re back!! We got another episode for you this week and I think this is a good one. Does that mean the others aren’t? That’s for you to decide. Anywho, this episode features fellow podcast person Christian, whom you might remember from our previous discussion about the gritty reboot. Go ahead and check out those episodes if you haven’t already.

So what are we discussing today? If you read the title, you know it’s about acting and Nicholas Cage. First we get into what is acting exactly? What is an actor trying to accomplish and how do they do it? Not an easy answer but there have been a few techniques that have been developed over the years that we touch on. Second, how does Nicholas Cage fit it to all of this? You may have seen the Community episode where Abed tries to figure out if he (Cage) is a good or bad actor. We don’t try to answer that question but we do examine his, arguably, unique approach to acting and what makes him so polarizing.

Here is the Wisecrack episode that inspired this conversation. Check it out if you’d like:

That’s it for this week! Special thanks to Christian for joining me once again!

Thanks for listening!


Peace.
