Hello friends! Pull up a seat—you don't need a reservation! This week, we're talking about 2021's Pig starring Nicolas Cage. This John Wick-marketed story of a man and his pig presents something much different than expected. We break down the story beats of the movie and discuss how it subverts expectations, critiques the revenge thriller, and even offers a meta-commentary on Nic Cage's career. If you haven't seen this one yet, catch up with it, and then join us at the analysis table as we dissect Pig.
