#57: The Croods/The Frozen Ground (with Dan McCoy)

Travolta/Cage

Happy New Year, Travoltatrons and Cageiacs! The year may have changed, but Nathan and Clint are still trudging along the highs and (mostly) lows of our boys' filmography, as Cage cranks out role after role and Travolta hangs back, waiting for the right time to strike. Luckily, this week we've got The Flop House's Dan McCoy back to help us sift through the mayhem, as our Cage-heavy double feature has him playing father figures in ice ages of varying sorts. First, there's the Dreamworks animated comedy The Croods, with Cage as an uptight, conservative cave-dad worrying about his daughter (Emma Stone) breaking out of her own prehistorical shell. Then, we zip over to 1980s Alaska for The Frozen Ground, a limp serial killer thriller that sees him protecting a young sex worker (Vanessa Hudgens, playing real tough, you feel me?) against fellow Redbox outcast John Cusack as real-life killer Robert Hansen. And along the way, we all live-react to the Renfield trailer, and wonder about Cage's transition from fake corporate vampire (Vampire's Kiss!) to honest-to-God Dracula!
