EPISODE 13: CAGEFEST!
During “The Summer of Cage,” movie audiences were treated to not one, but two blockbuster action films starring Nicholas Kim Coppola, aka “Nicolas Cage.” Fresh off of Cage’s Oscar win for his performance in Leaving Las Vegas and the success of The Rock the previous year, both Con Air and Face/Off premiered in theaters in June of 1997.
To celebrate the agony and the ecstasy of both films, Karen and Janet are joined this week by filmmakers, Nicole Witte Solomon and Sean Mannion. Come and partake with them in Guilt Free Features’ first ever CageFest!
