“Your podcast exudes a cosmic darkness… do you see that?”
In this special extended-length episode, our host is joined by two Nicolas Cage scholars to discuss the legendary actor’s magnum opus — Panos Cosmatos’ 2018 psychedelic action-horror film, Mandy! We discuss the film’s themes of grief, revenge, drug use, masculine aggression and more– while gushing over Benjamin Loeb’s gorgeous digital cinematography, and Cosmatos’ rip-roaring action sequences. In the end, we also get to talk about how Mandy has influenced these two young filmmakers in their own budding ventures as actors/directors. Strap in — it’s a wild ride!
ON THIS EPISODE: Harrison Hall, Sam Neer, Rowan Tull
