Two Best F***ing Friends Forever For Life For Real For Sure are very skeptical of whether Nicolas Cage is actually the "good" actor that everyone seems to accept he is. Truth be told, Brian and Brock haven't seen enough Nic Cage movies to be sure. So each week they will watch and review one of his movies, rated from worst to best, in an effort to gauge Cage's performance and ultimately decide whether or not he is worth his status as the World's Favorite Good Bad Actor.
What would a podcast between two dudebros be if it didn't mention butt stuff, weiners, and neuroscientific observations regarding the mind's eye?
This is what you came for.
Brock and Brian break down the boarded-up windows of Nic's 2024 horror film Arcadian. Before that, they talk about aphantasia and hyperphantasia, they get The Runs, and they flirt a little.
Let's get into it.
Psst! Hey you, kid. Over here.
I got that new We Gauge Cage for ya. Fresh off the lot. Don't ask me how I got my hands on it. The details ain't important.
Well hi everybody! The loveable scamps, Brian and Brock, are back! Delivering on their promise to watch the 2024 psychological think-piece "Dream Scenario."
Before that, the boys catch up on TWO YEARS worth of life, they talk butt stuff, they draft their favori...
We're Back! A Dinosaur Story
And these two dinosaurs, Brock and Brian, catch up and talk about the usual topics: eating, pooing, and animal moi-duh.
Then we review Butcher's Crossing, a thriller(?) set in oldey times. Bald Nic!
Get into it.
It's been a long time coming. And a quick time leaving...our memory banks.
Brock and Brian have waited ages and ages for The Retirement Plan to be released. Did it live up to expectations?
Speaking of "live," the boys did a little sneaky and decided to record an episode live, together, and in person during their latest bromantic getaway.
They catch up on running, and not running. And then they draft the...
I bet you thought 100 Episodes was enough, didn't ya? Didn't ya? Did you not?!?
Welp, Nic keeps making 'em, so we'll keep gauging 'em.
Brock and Brian catch each other up with their movements over the past few months, bowel and otherwise.
They pay homage to the in-movie diner with a food draft.
And then they talk about this friggin' movie, the cat-and-mouse, two-hander, bottle film t...
You asked for it*! A fantastical event a century (worth of episodes) in the making.
*You likely didn't.
For the 100th episode, the boys reminisce, they look ahead, and they break down the 2023 horror-action-comedy Renfield. Along the way, they craft the perfect Nic-enstein's Monster's Monster. They answer the important questions: Did it suck? Did Nic get better at playing a vampire this time around? Wou...
New Episode. Old Way?!?
It's been a while. A long long while. But the blame must be placed solely on Nic Cage and his various production companies (we're looking at you, Saban...) for the lack of content by which to gauge Nic.
Anywho, Brock and Brian dusted off their dusters, grew out their disgusting mustaches, and holstered their six shooters to discuss Nic's foray into Western fare.
How did they fare...
You asked (?) for it, you got it! Brock and Brian knocked the dust off of their microphones and recorded an episode by the people, for the people.
While waiting for Nic's projects to get edited, the boys dug back into a 1992 Saturday Night Live episode that Nic hosted.
Before that, they discuss their boys' night out, and draft Favorite Fruits!
What a treat!
Look, folks. If it's good enough for Nick Cage's and Javi's Top 3, it has to be good enough for this podcast to watch whilst waiting for the next Nicolas Cage movie, right? Right?!?!?
Live and in person and alive and too personal, Brock joins Brian for a recap of the week that was, and the movie that was-n't....that....great. That film was 2017's Paddington 2. The boys answer the tough questions: <...
Looks like we made it. Look how far we've come, my babies.
That's right. You didn't really think we could quit the podcast without holding out for the Nic Cage film in which Nicolas Cage plays Nick Cage in a film about Nicolas Cage, did you?!?
On this episode, Brian and Brock discuss their opening-weekend, theatre-going experience to watch the meta movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.
Howdy ho, neighborinos.
'Tis been quite the little while. But when your podcast is built upon a single actor's resume, and the well runneth dry between releases, then you have some gaps.
Brock and Brian catch up: on Disneyworld, on DeezNutsWorld, on their families and their neighbors and all sorts of fun stuff. They have a draft of the Best Fictional Mommies.
And then they rewatched 2017's "Mom an...
The boys are back at it.
Did you think that last episode had too much ball talk? Did you really expect that to change? If so, then you haven't been paying attention to this podcast.
On this episode, the boys talk more balls. Big and beautiful. They talk high fashion.
Then, they draft Vacation Spots (with quite possibly one of the worst picks in any draft they're ever done).
After all the...
How can they keep getting away with this?
Brock and Brian hop on the microphone to settle old scores (not THAT "Score to Settle").
They recap the weekend that followed the last episode. Virtual Golf. Hottest Wings. Axe Throwing. Shenanigans!
Then the boys get wicked and cast aspersions with their "Movie Roles to Replace with Nic Cage" Draft. It gets...interesting.
To finish it of...
What the heck are Nic's Bits, you ask?
Well, Brock and Brian have run out of the important movies starring Nicolas Cage, so they take a trip down memory lane, back to where his career started.
Brian cultivated each and every small appearance of Nic's over the many, many, many....many years. We watched each and every appearance. We gauged him.
Before all of that, the boys wax poetic whilst staring into each o...
Ho Ho Ho-ly Pig, it's "Pig" Week!
That's right, you unruly swine.
Brock and Brian watched Pig. Finally. Nic Cage's highest-rated film to date. It stood atop the Rotten Tomato charts at 100% for many, many weeks. All roads lead to Pig, ladies and gentlepigs. All roads lead to Pig.
Before that, the boys talk Christmas and Barf (naturally). Then they kneel and pay their respects to Robi...
Happy Birthday to the Ground! (and to Brock)
And what better way to celebrate his birthday than to gift the world with his innermost thoughts? Thoughts like, "Huh?" or "Why?" or "What the Ungodly F***?!?" - which happened while watching this latest travesty of a film.
Before we get into this...post-apocalyptic, Western, Kabuki, horror, steampunk, action disaster called "Prisoners of the Gh...
Wowzers in the trousers, if you know what I mean.
Brock and Brian went a little long. Went a LIT-TLE long on this one.
They talk Tay Tay, we spill ALL the neighborhood tea...but most importantly, we talk at lengths about Brock's new haircut....and then Brian gives a little/tiny/blink-and-you'll-miss-it blurb of breaking news whatever let's move on! We have a real crotchety, grumpy-gills Draft!
Bro...
It's not a trick, ladies and gentlemen. Treat yourselves to a shallow dive into the wild world of Nic Cage's hosting work.
In the bowels of 2021, Netflix released a 6-episode docuseries about....you guessed it...the History of Swear Words, hosted by Nicolas Cage.
Brian and Brock chose to watch 3 episodes, focused on F**K, SH*T, and P*SSY. Clearly, the classiest and cleanest episode of this entire podcast's ...
Finally. The Croods. We made it, ladies and gentlemen! We've reached the top.
This movie was sorely needed after last episode's sorry fiasco excuse for a film.
Brian and Brock grabbed their toddlers and watched The Croods: A New Age, the sequel we didn't even know we wanted.
Before that, the boys talk about *shocker* poop. They draft their favorite Non-Disney/Pixar Animated Movies. And they e...
This movie is that 2020 was...An under-produced, lassez-faire, "Who gives a care," cluster**** of a film.
Make no mistake: This is not the least favorite Nic Cage film that the boys have ever watched. But this is the WORST film that the boys have ever watched.
Before jumping into this floppy, flaccid martial art film, Brock and Brian talk Pumpkin Patchin' and Apple Pickin' (tis the season), and they ev...

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
