NyQuil & Cocaine: A Face/Off Novelization Audiobook - Chapter 2: Sinclaire Isn't THAT Hot

September 19, 2018

Since iTunes won't accept the actual show because of the title, I'll post the episodes on different LIW Studios feeds.

This chapter covers Travolta's suicide contemplation, verbal abuse of his co-workers, Cage working with electronics and how he's into Sinclaire instead of me. But this isn't about me. It's about Face/Off.

NyQuil & Cocaine: A Face/Off Novelization Audiobook - Chapter 1: A Murder Of Horses

September 19, 2018

Since iTunes won't load the actual show because of the title: I'll just post the episods on different LIW Studios feeds.

Face/Off was the subject of the first episode from Loitering In Wonderland Studios so it seemed only logical to write an entire novelization on the film and release it as a podcast and video series. Maybe I need to look up logical in the dictionary. In this first chapter Phoenix West covers the first 3 minutes or so of the best movie ever: Face/Off from 1997. Learn why the show is titled NyQuil & Cocaine.

16: Mom And Dad (2017) Redux

September 8, 2018

Audio only. To see the video go to the YouTube link below.

While recording Loitering In Wonderland episode 75 about Mom And Dad, we talked about the movie for an hour. It was simply too long to release so we took the Cage discussion parts and made it into an SMS! episode. Enjoy your Frankenstein episode of B-Movie Battle! NCC.

15: Guarding Tess (1994)

September 8, 2018

Just the audio version. To see the video go to the YouTube link below.

The ping-pong balls are back again and they're angrier than ever. This time they force Phoenix into watching possibly the most boring movie in the Cage cannon: Guarding Tess. A movie in which Cage watches an old lady cut newspaper articles out while they slowly whisper out dialogue about nothing. Then with 20 minutes left of the film they decided to throw in a plot.

Bonus: Mom And Dad (2017) from LIW Movie Review

September 7, 2018

Just the audio. To see the LIW Movie Review video go to the YouTube link below.

Phoenix West and Jansen Carlin are back to discuss the almost movie Mom And Dad. A movie about parents that kill their kids off screen. Watch as they attempt to kill their kids who have no will to live. Sometimes we just want to Loiter(ing) In Wonderland.

14: Left Behind (2014)

September 2, 2018

Just the audio version from the YouTube video show. Check the link below to go see the video.

Another stupid game chose another stupid Nic Cage movie. This time Left Behind was literally in the cards. Phoenix watches the 2014 Christian movie which for some reason stars Nic Cage. Still can't figure that out. Phoenix gets left behind during the screening and some asshole turned off his oxygen. A real jerk.

13: Mom And Dad (2017)

August 22, 2018

Just the audio version from the YouTube video show. Check the link below to go see the video.

Imagine a world where your parents actively want to kill you instead of just ignore you emotionally or physically. This is the reality in the 2017 Nic Cage movie Mom And Dad. An hour and a half that serves as an extended trailer for a movie you want to watch after you finish watching it.

Bonus: Face/Off (1997) Redux from LIW Movie Review video

June 13, 2018

This review is too long for you. Just go ahead and turn away now. If you're into Nic Cage or this amazing and severly flawed movie then welcome. Wait, I already told you to leave. Fuck. Wrong order. Anyway, this is the first official video episode of Loitering In Wonderland Movie Review. Face/Off was the first podcast for LIW back in 2013 and then Phoenix got a dog and named him Pollux Troy. Well, he just had to put the dog down so he thought the first video episode should be Face/Off as well. So he's back for a second swing at this insane plot that completely makes sense. It. Just. Does. Search LIW Movie Review on itunes to hear the first 72 episodes. The companion piece of this review is under B-Movie Battle! episode 26.

12: Face/Off (1997)

June 12, 2018

Just the audio version. Visit the youtube link below to see the full video This review is too long for you. Don't bother. I'm aware. And this is only part 1. Part 2 is under Loitering In Wonderland Movie Review episode 73. If you can watch 2 45 minute reviews on Face/Off then welcome. Pull up a chair and help me figure this movie out. Not sure what the hell happened when I was forced into watching the Nic Cage classic Face/Off from 1997. I started watching it in March and then the next thing I knew I was back and it was June. Watch the footage and help me piece it together.

Bonus: Outcast (2014) from LIW Movie Review

January 8, 2018

January 8, 2018

This is the very first episode of LIW Studios and therefore the very first episode of Loitering IN Wonderland Movie Review. It debuted 12.13.2013 and I've decided to re-release it on this feed because obviously.

11: Con Air (1997)

January 8, 2018

Someone delivers some packages for Phoenix. Creepy packages with vague threats. Does he listen? What do you think? He takes to the sky aboard Con Airlines along with the 20 celebrities on board. Phoenix "The Penis" West riffs his way through this overly long action movie starring a bored and buff Nic Cage.

Comment

10: National Treasures (2004-2007)

August 27, 2017

We knew we would eventually have to watch both National Treasure movies but that doesn't mean we can't watch them both at the exact same time. Side by side, Phoenix watches both movies at once. Will he follow the deep storylines of both films at once?? Yes. Yes he did. It wasn't even slightly hard. Most of this episode is Phoenix passing the time while making Are You Afraid Of The Dark and Ron Howard references. It's a bit long but it's 2 movies at once so that was bound to happen. You'll learn to deal with it. Through years of unsuccessful therapy.

9: The Wicker Man (2006)

July 16, 2017

Warning: This is the audio only, taken from a YouTube show Shitty Movie Showdown! To get the full experience, click here: https://youtu.be/3mALQY9B3YM

The Wicker Man is the lamest superhero story ever told. His only super power was the abilities to yell at school girls and punch women in the face. Don't get us wrong, those are both great powers but they can only get you so far in life. Prison. That's how far you can get. In this live commentary review of The Wicker Man, Phoenix marvels at the most boring actress ever, how much of the runtime is watching Cage wander an island, how every noise is apparently Rowan, how much fun it is to sing Don't Worry, Be Epi and he even attempts to figure out why Cage has visions that are never explained. THE WICKER MAN!!! Find out exactly how Ghost Rider got on fire in this prequel.

8: USS Indianapolis: Men Or Courage (2016)

June 4, 2017

Nic Cage Cast has merged with Shitty Movie Showdown! This is the last episode shot before the merger. It was edited afterward.

This is another very visual episode of Nic Cage Cast. To get the full video experience, click here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lB12m8I_L-0

Phoenix picked this movie because of the insanely stupid looking poster it had. The one where everyone looked confused as to why they were in a movie. Some even surprised to find out they made the movie already. The poster, however, was not an indication of this Mario Van Peebles movie which turned out to be fairly decent. The only thing Phoenix knew about the USS Indianpolis historically was that it carried the nukes that took out Japan. Yep. That is all over with less than an hour into the 2 hour 10 minute long movie. The rest of the film is...something incredibly unepected. Watch out for sharks. Or just leave your feet dangling in the water. It's your preference.

7: Industrial Symphony No. 1: The Dream Of The Brokenhearted (1990)

June 2, 2017

Nic Cage Cast has merged with Shitty Movie Showdown! This episode was recorded before the merger but edited afterward.

Warning: this is a very visual episode of Nic Cage Cast. To get the full experience, watch the YouTube video this audio is from here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlX4DWSNzsw&t=428s

In this TV movie from human filmmaker David Lynch, Nic Cage stars as a guy on the phone for 20 seconds before never being seen or heard from again. Perhaps someone should have paid the ghost so he would be in more of the film. The rest of the 55 minute runtime is filled with a bizarre stage production consisting of noises and strange people doing stupid things while people flash lights at them in a desperate attempt to make it look weird and meaningfull. Hot Topic: The Movie was as much fun as it sounds.

6: Zandalee (1991)

March 22, 2017

Nic Cage Cast is different now. Gone are the long reviews about the movie. Now the show has more variety to keep in line with the Shitty Movie Showdown! reviews. After all, Phoenix IS kidnapped and held in an undisclosed location so he might as well watch some Cage movies, right?

What Nic Cage movie will it be this time? Only the Gods know. And by gods, we mean ping pong balls thrown into a bucket. It truly was a random selection this time around. This is one angry review.

5: Pay The Ghost (2015)

February 2, 2017

What happens when you cast Nic Cage in a movie where his child is stolen by a ghost witch? The answer is: not much. He doesn't scream at strangers for his child enough. He only gets in ONE fist-fight with a ghost witch. He doesn't do...well, anything for the most part. What a letdown.

Comment

4: City Of Angels (1998)

November 27, 2016

For the full experience, watch this video show at YouTube.com/LoiteringInWonderland

There is a god. And he's a huge dick. In this Nic Cage classic, Nic plays a literal angel named Seth that falls in love with pre-surgery Meg Ryan. Then he has to murder himself to be with her. He gets inside that hot hot Meg Ryan body exactly once before she is killed. Oh, spoiler alert for the movie City Of Angels. You had 18 years to watch it and you waited until right now to read up on it? A review show on the movie wasn't a good place to start. I don't feel bad for you. You should go make yourself a human.

3: Trapped In Paradise (1994)

July 7, 2016

Nic Cage Cast - Episode 3 - Trapped In Paradise (1994)

The internet chose Trapped In Paradise as the next Nic Cage movie for Phoenix to watch. A movie starring three legends of SNL: Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz and... Nic Cage. In this review, he reflects back on how he used to enjoy the movie as a child, somehow. He discusses the plot in an out of order fashion because this movie has almost no plot other than having to leave town. Oh, and this movie has the sensitivity of an Adam Sandler movie toward the mentally challenged. What kind of Cage is in this film? Find out by watching the episode, obviously.
