Face/Off: Cage Match, We Ran Out of Ideas, Comma
Podcast: Play in new window | Embed
Shawn Lotte and Jesse Gelinas return to talk about the hit action film Face/Off! We talk about Nic Cage’s 96-97 acting season high, finally settle (not really) the Travolta vs. Cage debate, and weird production details. Also, Earl talks about Sam Rockwell’s twin, Jesse introduces us to the One True God, and Shawn explains how he sorts out people… with Face/Off. So really, the whole episode goes off on tangents as much as faces do in the movie.
Guests:
Jesse Gelinas – Senior Editor of Movie Reviews for We Eat Films
Shawn Lotte – “Most of that story is a lie”
Supplementary notes:
One True God – Reddit
The Lock-In Review on We Eat Films
