Film Reviews

In honor of the 30th anniversary of this movie, we decided to re-release our original movie review from May 26th, 2021.   Money can’t buy happiness. Or love. Or friendship. But it’ll buy a lot of stuff that might fill the void. On this episode, we Breakdown the uncomfortable tale of Blank Check. When the laws of realty, finance, physics and parental consent are tossed to the wind, you better believe it’s a pubescent boys wacky wildest wet dream.

Blank Check (1994) - Re:Issue

And just like that, May of Swayz(e): Uncaged is over. Join us as we bid a fond farewell to Nic Cage and his iconic appearance in National Treasure. Is this one of the only movies that Sean Bean’s character doesn’t die in? Did this movie possibly reinvigorate the adventure/treasure hunt movie genre and maybe even normalize conspiracy theories? Why didn’t someone step in to tell the Gates’ family that they weren’t very good at treasure hunting?
