Sonny - Casting Cage Ep 31 - Bucky's Basement Podcast
Friday May 30, 2025
Friday May 30, 2025
Bucky's Basement presents a unique episode of Casting Cage this week, where we review a film directed by Nicolas Cage: 2002's "Sonny" (Cage does cast himself an interesting minor role, one Acid Yellow, which we delve into). This film stars James Franco as the titular Sonny, a male prostitute in 1980's (?) New Orleans, pimped out by his mother, Jewel (played by Brenda Blethyn). There is a lot to unpack here.
Why is it so hard to determine what decade this movie takes place in? Why does Sonny have a problem with someone sipping sizzerp? Why Sonny's clients trying to stiff him when he did such a good job with the (ahem) stiffing? And who got "Helen Hunted" in that fiery car explosion from the trailer? Find the answers to all these burning questions, only on Bucky's Basement!!
