Nic Cage Looks Ethereal As John Madden In The Trailer For 'Madden' And There's NO WAY This Movie Could Be Bad With Christian Bale, John Mulaney, Shane Gillis, & Marshawn Lynch in The Mix Too

Buckle up your fuckin' chinstraps folks, cause we're getting a heaping helping of football greatness come this November. Just in time to take the turducken out of the oven too. BOOM! 

Now some people on The Internet are saying this trailer looks bad. And that it seems more like a surreal SNL digital short than an earnest biopic. And although shoving Shane Gillis, John Mulaney, & Kathryn Hahn in there isn't helping dispel that argument, I'm gonna choose LOVE here and hope for the best. That's just too much talent to fail. Right? RIGHT? 

Plus I can assure you as a lifelong fan of his work, Nic Cage never takes a role he wasn't supremely passionate about playing. Dude doesn't just show up for paychecks, he puts in the work. Every damn time. And despite not sounding like John Madden whatsoever, I'm sure there's a method to his madness that shines through after the entire viewing experience. Have some faith in a living legend. He's earned that much from us.

Am I buttering him up a little extra than usual solely because I'm taking a picture with him at NYC Comic Con next week? You better fuckin' believe it buddy. Not that I'd ever trash Sir Nic in any situation. But especially not now. My Con-Air wig just arrived in the mail. You can't hurt me anymore.

So go ahead and make your silly jokes in the comment section about how this movie looks delightfully tacky & absolutely unrefined. It matters not. We're still all gonna watch it during that Thanksgiving break pal, just accept it now. Whether you're napping during it really doesn't matter. The real question is… What Cage experience do you put on after as a genuine dessert? I know my pick. Winnersh go home and fack the prom queen. WOMACK!

PS: this Christian Bale audio STILL hits… Also crazy we could've had him as Odysseus if he didn't play Al Davis instead. I always thought that Matt Damon was like a Streisand, but…I think he's rockin' the shit in that one. Zeus' butthole.
