2 Guys 5 Movies
The podcast features two ordinary but knowledgeable film fans who examine film, past and present, through top five lists and retrospectives.
What 2 Guys 5 Movies is All About
Hi, all! 2 Guys 5 Movies, a long-form film podcast, will be entering its third full year in 2022. The "primary" podcast features top five lists from various genres and subgenres. We have a wide range in our over 130 episodes. In 2020, we also added a weekly "supplemental" podcast, The Quick Cage, where co-host Frank Pellicone watched and reviewed every Nicolas Cage movie during an 23-month span. In 2022, a new supplemental podcast will begin weekly called The Spin Chagrin, where a ludicrous subgenre will be chosen randomly and Frank will have to watch and review the movie. This will be in addition to the main feed, where we will continue with extensive looks in top five lists.

Frank describes and reviews Francis Ford Coppola's 1986 film, Peggy Sue Got Married. This is a notable episode for three reasons: it's our first Quick Cage request, it's a positive review from Frank, and 2 Guys stay mostly on-topic throughout the episode beyond figuring out where Peggy Sue Got Married is ranked in the movies of 1986.

2 Guys 5 Movies presents the latest episode of the Quick Cage, where Frank watches Nic Cage movies so you don't have to. This week's episode focuses on Cage's 2014 religious thriller...fantasy thriller...horror (okay, I'm not sure, I lost track of the point of this movie while listening to Frank), Left Behind. If you are a superfan of the Left Behind series, you probably do not want to listen to this, which is the first warning we've ever given.
