Joe (2013) | The Cage Corner Podcast #10

Joe casts Nicolas Cage in one of his most human performances. Even in the midst of his finacial crisis, Cage chose this movie over blockbusters. The movie pairs him with Tye Sheridan to tell a vulnerable story about surviving alcoholic environments. How addiction can impact more than just you but those close to you. We’re commentate on our own personal connections to the film’s themetic elements of addiction, mental health and child abuse. We recommend also checking out our episode “Broken Pharmacy” which chronicles a young lady’s own journey with drugs. Check it out here: https://bit.ly/vicep354.
