About this episode

The episode explores themes of love and sacrifice through the lens of three films featuring Nic Cage and Glen Powell.

How far are you willing to go for love…and what are you going to do to keep it?! These three come together nicely as we see Nic Cage as an on-the-run rocker in Wild at Heart, we see if Glen Powell can actually win us over as he figures out how to live, and finally we put a marriage to the ultimate test with No Other Choice!
