“Both [Cage] and George C. Scott [in Hardcore] share the same forehead sweat…” - Andrew  On this week’s very special episode, we’re celebrating EPISODE 800 with a very sleaze-tastic conversation on Joel Schumacher’s 8MM! How funny is it the screenwriter got upset that the content was toned down from his more hardcore vision? Was Cage’s Tom Welles in over his head with this case or was he just the man for the job? How funny is that scene with Gandolfini trying to skip town carrying several boxes of pornography? How great is Joaquin in this performance as Max California? And how terrifying is that final showdown at Casa de Machine? PLUS: “Marc Maron” asks Machine who his guys are! 8MM stars Nicolas Cage, Joaquin Phoenix, James Gandolfini, Peter Stormare, Anthony Heald, Catherine Keener, Myra Carter, Amy Morton, and Chris Bauer as Machine; directed by Joel Schumacher.

How great is James Spader with this Ultron performance? Are there too many characters in this fully-loaded movie?
