We're joined by Alex "WORLDWIDE" Keller (@TheTowerSkin on twitter) to discuss '99 Scorsese film "Bringing Out the Dead," and the 2016 film "Dog Eat Dog." Paul Schrader was involved in both films, with different degrees of success, and we definitely planned that.

THE FINAL EPISODE OF FRED DURST FRIDAY! In this tragic send off, we look back on all the Fred Durst content we've reviewed on this show, and then pit the final two contestants against one another. Soulfly's Bleed squares off against Limp Bizkit's Woodstock '99 performance.

In an episode with special guests from the Sweats and Suits podcast, we go through 2018's Spiderman: Into the Spiderverse (another Nic Cage animated feature) and returning champion Amos and Andrew.

One this episode with guest comedian Dana Ehrman, we finally see the film Next again, after it powered through to win it on the very first round of our bracket! It now goes up against one of Cage's first major roles: Birdy. Only one can be victorious, and who will it be? What? No.

We're back at it with another animated Cage film and a movie made by Gore Vidal, er Verbinski, one of the two. The Ant Bully is an animated film made by the same animation team as Jimmy Neutron, with Nicolas Cage in supporting role. The Weather Man is a live action drama about a depressed man's crumbling life. Who will win?

Back at you with more Fred Durst nonsense, this time with some a heavy Corey Feldman bend, we're covering the 2019 film the Fanatic and Corey Feldman's song Seamless, featuring the Durst. The winner advances to the semifinals!

It's gonna be a grand time on this episode with special guest Rodney Berry of American Arts and Culture Review. Together we tackle the 2010 film the Sorcerer's Apprentice, which also stars Jay Baruchel, and the 2013 Dreamworks film the Croods, with a sorta star-studded cast.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cagefightpodcast Bracket: https://challonge.com/cagefightpodcast 

Get ready to turn up as we review Bizkit's Woodstock '99 gig to the beautiful sounds of that very performance! It's up against Population 436, the film staring Fred Durst as a small town cop.

Guest @elizamuffins joins us for an exciting match-up as one of Nicolas Cage's most highly acclaimed films goes up against a certain pod member's favorite. Will the G-Force gang unfairly influence the election with the threat of violence? Will the fight for the future of the bracket cost anyone their hand? Their bride? Tune in to find out.

Continuing on in the second round of the Fred Durst Friday bracket, we review the movie Pauly Shore is Dead, which features Fred Durst in a small cameo, and the Korn song All in the Family, which prominently features Fred Durst.  Both are returning champs. How do we compare a movie to a song? Listen and find out. Patreon: www.patreon.com/cagefightpodcast

Jackson and David Caruso, and the 2009 film Astro Boy, an animated feature based on the character by Osamu Tezuka. Tune in to hear about some fun communist robots and just how annoying Michael Rappaport is.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/cagefightpodcast Bracket: https://challonge.com/cagefightpodcast 

It's the first episode of round 2. Our first contender is a live version of Soulfly's Bleed, which features Fred Durst and a strange special guest. Next up is the Carmax commercial starring Fred Durst. There's also a lot of Nu Metal riffing (both comedic and guitar) and soundboard fuckery.

It's DC vs Marvel on this episode of Cage/Fight, featuring guest Jeff Marra. We analyze the 2018 animated movie Teen Titans Go! to the Movies and the returning champion, 2007's Ghost Rider.

It’s the final episode of round one, and we discuss two songs that Fred Durst is featured on. First up is “Seamless,” from Cory Feldman’s 2016 album “Angelic 2 the Core.” The other contender is “Get Naked” by Methods of Mayhem, a Tommy Lee rap project, off of their eponymous 1999 debut.

The moment we've all been waiting for: we get to talk about 9/11 for most of an episode. We cover the romantic comedy from the year 2000 the Family Man, and Oliver's Stone's 2006 film World Trade Center. RIP to Mohamed Atta

In this #freddurstfriday we go through two Fred Durst directed movies: 2019's the Fanatic, starring John Travolta, and 2007's the Education of Charlie Banks, starring Jesse Eisenberg. This is a long one, so plug in and get ready for some Dursty goodness.

Here we tackle the 1993 limited release western-noir film Red Rock West and the returning champion Trapped in Paradise from episode 7. We also learn just how much it would cost to get 75,000 pounds of potato flakes.

In episode 6 of #freddurstfriday we look into the events surrounding the riots at Woodstock '99 and whether or not Limp Bizkit was responsible, as well as a dump in the city of Austin that was almost named after the Durst himself.

Now with extra fighting! This time it's the 2010 super hero film Kick-Ass going up against returning "champion" Zandalee, a film that proved to be contentious in round 1. Who will win? Honestly if you listen to the show a lot you probably know already, but there's a lot of fun along the way.

We watch two Fred Durst films for the first time, 2006's Population 436 (in which he starred) and 2008's the Longshots (which he directed).

Joined by guest @nathanol we tackle Cage's very first on screen roll with Fast Times At Ridgemont High and returning champion from the first round Knowing.

In this FDF we have two special guests from two other podcasts, all gathered here to discuss the live performance of Staind's Outside (featuring Fred Durst) and the Korn song All in the Family (also featuring Durst).

In this episode, with guest George Heftler from Best Little Horror House in Philly, we discuss the 2005 film Lord of War and the 2016 Oliver Stone film Snowden, based on the story of Edward Snowden. There's a bit of a disagreement at the end. Tune in to find out which wins!

In this #freddurstfriday we discuss Durst's cameos in the movies Zoolander and Pauly Shore is Dead.

It's the first episode of round 2, where the good movies begin to crop up! In this episode we square off on the Coen brothers' 1987 film Raising Arizona and the 1993 Coppola family classic Deadfall, the reigning champion from episode 3.

In this #freddurstfriday matchup we discuss two different sets of commercials that Fred Durst was a part of: a cameo in a Carmax commercial and a stint directing 3 eHarmony commercials.

In the last episode of round one, we watch 2011's Season of the Witch and 2016's Army of One. These were... movies. Really we're just thankful to be going into the later rounds at this point. Also check out Fred Durst Friday episode two, also out now.

In this excerpt from episode 18, put separately for time reasons, we go through our first matchup in the Fred Durst Friday bracket: Soulfly's Bleed (ft Fred Durst) and Rich Gang's Here We Are (Champions). Vibe with it.

Finally nearing the end of round one in the bracket, we watch 2000's Gone in 60 Seconds and 2014's Rage. An underrated car-action flick against some not understated, pure RAGE. Taylor joins us again for the second episode in his tenure and we go through the first matchup in the Fred Durst Friday bracket, which we released as a separate episode for your pleasurable listening leisure.

It's here! In the first episode recorded in several months, we are introduced to a new host, treated to a song by National Pleasure, and discuss the marvelous man known as Fred Durst, all while discussing the movies Windtalkers (2002) and Outcast (2014). Remember to tweet out #FredDurstFridays to show your support for the legend!

In this episode we recorded quite a while back, we discuss Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance and Joel Schumacher's 8mm, which ended up being strangely relevant given his recent passing. RIP Joey Shoes!

In this episode we have another new guest on, our friend Brandon, and together we cover the movies Firebirds (1990) and Seeking Justice (2011).

We're back, this time reviewing the Humanity Bureau (2018) and Trespass (2011). Zach couldn't make it to this one, as he was out picketing for a political cause, but we do have a very special guest. Tune in to find out who it is!

Here at last: Two movies you've heard of! Well, to be honest, this version of a Christmas Carol is probably one you haven't seen and will have a hard time finding if you want to. But we've also got the sequel to National Treasure, complete with a presidential kidnapping and all.This one is a little short, because there isn't much to say about A Christmas Carol that hasn't been said before, but it is, as the kids say, short and sweet and to the point.

It's a battle between Inconceivable (2017) and 211 (2018). And it's a rough one. A woman who donated her eggs stealing back her children, and a bunch of cops in a shoot out with bank robbers. Both sound interesting right? Well, uh, listen I guess and find out.Additionally, we have leaked audio from a secret recording of the hosts off mic. What is revealed is truly shocking.

It's time for the match up no one was waiting for, 1993's Amos and Andrew vs 2018's Looking Glass. Amos and Andrew also stars Samuel L Jackson, in one of his less remembered roles. Looking Glass is about a creepy voyeur who actually kinda existed.The G-Force Gang is shouted out again, with Mike giving his newest updates, and we have a rollicking good time discussing movies that are not well remembered.

It's fascists vs a retired CIA agent with dementia today on Cage/Fight, which actually sounds like the set up for a far more entertaining movie than either of these were. In Captain Corelli's Mandolin (2001) Cage plays an Italian soldier during Italy's occupation of Greece in WWII. In Dying of the Light (2014) he plays a rogue CIA agent with dementia, trying to get back at the man who tortured him. In our world, Dave is getting on our nerves and may be fired any day now, but we can look past that as we have our jolly banter about these two forgotten... gems? What's the opposite of a gem?

Finally, the BEES!!!! It's time for Sonny (2001), Nicolas Cage's directorial debut, vs the Wicker Man (2006), a film you've no doubt heard of. This is a fun one, especially if you weren't forced to watch Sonny in preparation for it.G-Force Gang drop now available on our YouTube channel!

It's finally here: the episode where we tackle the immortal family film G-Force! It goes up against the action thriller Stolen (2012), which has an iconic campy villain. We ramble, we rant, we rave, we live, we laugh, we LOVE. Give it a listen.

We're back with our least on topic episode yet! But let's be honest here, do you actually listen to hear about movies you're never gonna see anyways, or do you listen to hear our beautiful voices? This time we discuss Ghost Rider (2007) and Pay the Ghost (2015). One is a movie you may well have seen. One is a movie no one has ever seen. Also, we talk about Star Wars for like 15 minutes, so that's fun.

It's episode 6! In this one, hear our three hosts battle through a stream of "oo wa ah ah ah"s as they try to discuss The Runner (2015), a political thriller, and Trapped in Paradise (1994), a zany Christmas comedy.
