Film Pigeons Episode 123: Lord of War, Leaving Las Vegas, Nicolas Cage
On this episode of the Film Pigeons podcast we celebrate film-making luminary Nicolas Cage by releasing some exaggerated shouts of joy as we review two of his "l" titled films.
-Lord of War - Cage is screamtastic as a bulgy eyed gun smuggler who smuggles guns. If only we can stop him from smuggling our hearts then the world would be safe!
-Leaving Las Vegas - The nadir of Cage - the film that officially made him a better actor than Robert Mitchum, Orson Welles, Cary Grant and Brad Pitt COMBINED! The film that makes drinking yourself to death look sexy - all thanks to Nic Cage!
We also offer our monetary evaluation of Cage's career to date.

Film Pigeons Episode 120 (Life is Beautiful, The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp)
This episode of the Film Pigeons podcast we cover a couple of quintessential "best" films as we continue our march through the letter L. We discuss what is often considered one of the "best" British films in Powell and Pressburger's Life and Death of Colonel Blimp. We also discuss Life is Beautiful which is often considered the best film directed by a man who later went on to play a bizarre wooden man-puppet. Jason and Andrew also talk about Spielberg's Lincoln and Jason brings in some film trivia.
