Cagemas comes but once a year! Unless, since this one is a little late, it will technically come twice this year, and none times last year. It’s confusing. It’s annual is what we’re saying. We celebrate the work of Saint Nicolas Cage this time with a discussion of the snakes-on-a-boat-and-also-other-animals thriller Primal.
