The Wicker Man (2006)

We close down our exploration of Nic Cage films by visiting one of his most maligned and (possibly) misunderstood films, the Neil LaBute directed remake of THE WICKER MAN. We covered the 1970’s original film back on episode 55 of the show. This remake tells largely the same story, but with some noteworthy differences of the central clash which prompts a thoughtful examination of the ways we can, by pride and presumption, both consider ourselves falsely superior and dehumanize others at our own peril. 

The patron segment also features a countdown of the Top 5 Greatest Cage Rage Freakouts (with clips) that you'll have to hear to believe. We hope you enjoy this concluding installment in the one, the only #uncaged!
