Travolta/Cage #52: Astro-Boy/Kick-Ass — It Turns Out the Naming Rights! Membership Option Was For Real and Someone Is Now Five Hundred Bucks Poorer Presents Nat

This week, Nathan and Clint go it alone to kickstart our Cage-heavy catchup through the 2010s, blazing through his robust filmography while Travolta peeks in every once in a while!

Still, this revamped schedule allows us to indulge in some genuinely wacky double features, like Cage as the unhinged father figure to two superheroic tots! First, there's his sleepy performance as Dr. Tenma in Astro-Boy, the adaptation of the classic manga twisted into a four-quadrant CGI kids' blockbuster (with some of the smoothest, ugliest character designs you ever did see).

Then, we strap on our Batsuits and watch Cage ham it up in Matthew Vaughn's bloodbath of superhero misanthropy, Kick-Ass! Come for the Mark Millar-penned edginess, stay for Cage's halting Adam West impression as Big Daddy.
