Drop down snap-BARRALALAA! And then after that you just drop in and just ride the barrel and get pitted so pitted like that..." This movie is not like that. The Surfer (2025) is not that fun.

So imagine my surprise, nay, my shock when I went into the movie theater expecting to see a movie that celebrated…

Episode 108 - Sympathy for the Devil

Great Nicolas Cage screams + a below average plot = Sympathy for the Devil (2023)...Actually it equals, like, A LOT of Nic's movies, but this one is certainly one of them. Not sure what else to say, but we had some fun chatting about this flick and cutting in some incredible moments, so enjoy! Don't do anything I wouldn't do...

It makes sense if you listen), but hey, gather three of your closest friends around a campfire and hear us…
