Don’t sleep on Pig! That was as surprisingly good as I had heard.

I love how Cage isn’t afraid to take roles in weird movies. Willy’s Wonderland and Mandy have been some of my favorites of his in recent years

Pig & color out of space were fantastic!

He’s been on a real winning streak since getting over his financial precarious streak where he was pretty much taking any gig offered.

Unironically Pig is one of my favorite movies. I do live with a chef though so anything cook/chef related I get pretty invested in. I’ll have to watch Color Out of Space

Am chef…but most chef related movies/shows I give a pass (the Bear? who the fuck cooks an entirely new dish not tasting a bit of it along the way only to taste it after plating and then go “it’s shit”… stupid ass waste of time chefs do not have) but this was just on the edge of greatness and really enjoyed it.

Okay but if you get the chance to visit Mr. Beef in Chicago I highly recommend it. Show was based off that location and parts of it were even filmed in it. The Bear nailed the vibe of the place perfectly and the food is awesome
What are your thoughts on the Menu?

I heard he got in financial trouble and started taking any role that pays.

And I think he made the required money and doesn’t have financial issues anymore so now he picks only stuff he likes and wants to do

I think Mandy was his first movie post clearing his debt.

I always have to correct people who think I love Cage ironically. Have you seen Prisoners of the Ghost Land? Another recent work from him and its amazing.

Anytime someone says he can’t act I just tell them to go watch Leaving Las Vegas. The guy is insanely good when you give him good material to work with. He just had to take anything that came his way for a while there because he makes horrible financial decisions lol.

I wasn’t as bowled over by that one (and I am a big fan of Cage, Tak Sakaguchi and Sion Sono, so felt like it should have been a guaranteed hit with me) - it seemed like it was trying too hard.
