Episode 6: Raising Arizona/Between Worlds - a podcast by Scott Kraushaar/Matt LaPlante

Welcome into our Cagetastic filled 6th episode. For this installment we dip our toes into the more eclectic roles from Mr. Cage's storied career, one's a classic and one not so much. First up is one of the Coen Brother's early masterpieces and the dawn of Nic's acting brilliance, Raising Arizona (1987). This comedic crime film introduces us to the whacky world of the Coen Brother's and one of Mr. Cage's first truly memorable characters, the live action version of Woody Woodpecker, H.I. McDunnough. It was our first real taste of not only his comedic timing and supreme acting chops but also of his stellar narration skills. Our second film finds Mr. Cage having to put the majority of the cast on his back and drag them through this poor man's wannabe David Lynch film entitled Between Worlds (2018). It's a supernatural thriller that allows for Nic to stretch his wings and have some fun with the ridiculous plot and terribly one note cast. However it does give us some of his best one liners, a ridiculous water fight scene and shows us why he doesn't do many sex scenes. Along the way we'll discuss what attracts Mr. Cage to unhinged roles, baby drama on the set of Raising Arizona, why he probably shouldn't ever do sex scenes in movies again and if the Tin Man in fact does have a sheet metal cock.
