Dare Daniel: Cage Match – Round 6
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin (2011; Dir.: John Madden) – Episode 129
“It’s a beautifully designed vehicle with no engine.”
Daniel and Corky lose their zest for life after watching the badly miscast Nicolas Cage play the titular hero of Captain Corelli’s Mandolin. Despite the beautiful locale and an impressive cast, we’re never given a compelling reason to care about any element of this tedious and soulless awards-grubber. Even the mandolin doesn’t matter!
Elsewhere, Daniel and Corky discuss patricide humor, unintentional chemistry and mandolin perverts.
