This week on Classic Movies Live!, our hosts discuss the man of their dreams: Nicolas Cage!

In the latest film from director Kristoffer Borgli, Cage plays Paul Matthews, an unremarkable university professor who begins appearing in people’s dreams. Through no fault of his own, Matthews is suddenly world famous for just sort of standing around. Fame has its perks, of course, but it would have a lot more perks if Matthews were famous for the research he’s spent his entire career trying to get noticed for.

Dream Scenario is a brilliant film about sudden fame, memes, cancel culture, and midlife crises that fully capitalizes on Cage’s larger-than-life persona. It’s a film Pierre and Jeff had plenty to say about, and one you’ll want to check out if you can! But in the meantime, tune in as our hosts explore the mind of Paul Matthews.

Jeff previously talked about Dream Scenario on Contra Zoom Pod episode 252: 2023 TIFF Wrap Up
