Nicholas Cage set to play John Madden. How do
you feel about that? I never, never would
have guessed that in a million years that Nicholas Cage
is gonna play John Madden and John Madden. What
a, what an incredible career from coaching to obviously
uh broadcasting to the, the, the Madden game
. I mean, it's been an incredible life for
him and that's, that's what it seems like.
The movie is supposed to be, at least in
part about the rise of the Madden NFL video game
as the part of the John Madden, Nick Cage
. I I never, I'm not gonna lie.
I I did not see that one coming turned out
yesterday. It looks way more like vintage Al Davis
than he does Madden. I'll be curious to see
how they go about this, but I am one
of those people that chooses to embrace seeing Nicholas Cage
in any setting because he is so willing to play
the weirdest roles of all time. He legitimately spent
time trying to develop the Southern accent going down to
Alabama for con Air. You need to go out
and completely bastardize it. So, but I embrace
everything, but I can't not watch Con Air.
I can't not watch and listen to his, his
dialect in that II, I can't not just any
one of his movies. Hugh Jackman was an actor
that was uh around the project. As a musical
, musical. Hugh would have been your guy,
Hugh. Hugh is Jack too. The thing is
he's too Jack. He played to play the way
that you remember John Madden, Hugh Jackman, especially
coming off another round as Wolverine in the Deadpool too
many times. He had his shirt off and showing
his abs. Even, even uh Deadpool was checking
out his abs. Yeah. No, I mean
, listen, Hugh Jackman has been too jacked for
too long there. You want to talk about someone
that needs a piss test that would not fit uh
a John Madden. Uh you know, sorry John
, I mean, but that God, God rest
his soul. But uh yeah, Nicholas Cage is
one of those guys that just is a character inside
Hollywood and he's been well documented and talked about some
of his interests, the things that he has invested
in in the past like like uh the gigantic dinosaur
skull, like 20 million. I mean, just
goes to show the money he made. Yeah,
I say Nick Nick Cage and financial responsibility don't seem
to exist in the same sentence, but then he
keeps getting asked to do stuff like this. And
so we are going to all keep watching there
