Joel Murphy and Andy McIntyre continue their quest to watch maligned movies in hopes of finding a silver lining. For the month of September, they are watching films starring the one and only Nicolas Cage.

They end the month with Gone in 60 Seconds, a film where retired car thief Memphis Raines must steal 50 cars in 72 hours to save his brother Kip. It’s a film full of well-worn tropes and underdeveloped characters, but together they’ll find its silver lining.
