    For our final Guest episode, we're joined by the lovely Fin from Passport People and his equally delightful fiancé Melanie to discuss an appropriately wedding-themed rom-com that took the box office by storm in 2018 - Jon M. Chu's groundbreaking hit Crazy Rich Asians.

  • The Rock
    Dec 13 2021

    The Michael Bay film it's officially OK to like, The Rock benefits from one of the all-time great action movie pairings in Nicholas Cage and Sean Connery, with a little help from Ed Harris as a morally conflicted veteran soldier.

    On this week's podcast, we discuss military masturbation, Elton John-themed death scenes, ludicrous gay stereotypes and much more as we break down this ridiculous but entertaining entry into the Cagemas Canon!
