#MagicMics is back! Who knows how long it’ll last? (Email magicmics@cageclub.me if you want us to stick around.) We’re joined by Brian Rodriguez (Uncle Francis’s Wine Cellar, High School Slumber Party) to talk about the Channing Tatum and Amanda Seyfried film Dear John, based on the Nicholas Sparks novel. We complete our Nicholas Sparks “tic tac to…

G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra is a difficult movie to talk about. Do we love it? Do we hate it? The reality: it's somewhere in between. G.I. Joe feels like the movie that Channing Tatum has been working his entire (short) career (so far), and he's genuinely great in it as a squadron leader. The problem: the movie is too long with too much nonsense. O…

In August 2015, we released our very first podcast and proceeded to tear through Nicolas Cage’s filmography at a breakneck pace. We had no idea that we'd continue after we finished Cage’s filmography, but we asked, “What’s next?” and went from there. After nearly four years, we are releasing our 1,000th episode.In this episode, Joey Lewandowski tal…

While we've already covered a movie for this podcast that Channing Tatum wasn't in, seeing him show up for one minute (of a 131 minute runtime) in Public Enemies somehow seems even more underwhelming. In this episode, we dust off the mailbag (which hasn't been opened in three months) and peer inside, then try to separate the story (blah) from the f…

We pumped the brakes on #MagicMics to focus our attention on 2 Fast 2 Forever, so what's another slight delay in programming? Before we get to Public Enemies, we're jumping all the way forward to Smallfoot, Channing Tatum's newest movie. It's strange watching a movie where Channing's role is so prevalent! Between the animation style, musical number…

Fighting reunites Channing Tatum with Dito Montiel after both Joes' favorite #MagicMics movie so far, A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, but is the pairing as good the second time around? In this episode, we strip down to our undershirts to talk about Channing's many fight scenes, whether or not Terrence Howard is a good actor, and if this movie w…

Stop-Loss marks the most intense movie covered on #MagicMics so far, pitting Channing Tatum as a military sharpshooter in Iraq. While Channing's part is bigger than many of his other films to date, his storyline is once again relegated to the background in favor of Ryan Phillippe's titular stop-loss narrative. That said, Channing has ample opportun…

While Channing Tatum may not be in Step Up 2: The Streets all that much, the time spent reprising his role as Tyler Gage is pretty incredible. We knew Channing wasn't going to be in this movie a ton, but he plays a pivotal role in the film's first fifteen minutes, setting our new hero up for the journey she'll take to (street) dance superstardom. G…

She's the Man is a perfect #MagicMics movie: Channing goes shirtless (for most of the movie!), gets into multiple fights, dances, AND strips. What more could anyone want?! Got a thought? Want to share a picture of strippers? Email us at magicmics@cageclub.me.De către Joey Lewandowski and Joe Two

Battle in Seattle marks our first true CageClub Podcast Network crossover, as both Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum are in this movie! The Watch The Theron and #MagicMics podcasts crossed over to cover this (disappointing) movie, directed by Charlize's long-time boyfriend (and Mike's mortal enemy) Stuart Townsend, in his directorial debut. Got a …

While Channing Tatum and Shia LaBeouf may not be altar boys unknowingly competing for the affection of their superiors, the world of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints still has Italian blood running through its veins. Channing plays Antonio, an angry, young Italian man who parades through the movie shirtless and ready for a fight in a movie that J…

It's time for a very special episode of #MagicMics. Following the announcement that Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan Tatum plan to lovingly separate as a couple, Joey and Joe decided to switch up the script and tackle Step Up this month. What better way to honor a marriage than by seeing where it all began? Got a thought? Want to share a picture of s…

Supercross is the movie Joe Two has been waiting for, and boy did it ever come through with flying colors. Channing Tatum isn't the star of the film, though Rowdy Sparks is the star of this world, with adoring fans cheering him on at every turn. This movie has major problems -- most notably, incredibly sexist characterizations of its female charact…

Channing Tatum might not be in much of Havoc, but it’s still a step in the right direction from his no-show last month. Havoc is a mess of a movie with a backstory more interesting than its plot, but one thing is certain: it needs a lot more Channing Tatum in it. We continue to struggle to come up with a nickname for Channing and an intro catchphra…

We made it all the way to the second episode of #MagicMics before we got to a movie without Channing Tatum. War of the Worlds is only the second Spielberg movie covered on the #CageClub Podcast Network, and only the second Tom Cruise movie covered as well. It's a shame, then, that not only is Channing Tatum not in the movie, but the movie isn't ver…

Considering Coach Carter is Channing Tatum's first movie, he's on screen for a remarkable amount of time. Sure, he leaves the movie down the stretch -- we can't all get what we want, all of the time -- but who in their right mind would play a defensive first white boy in a basketball game where you're down big and need to catch up in a hurry? Not C…

After you spend a year and a half watching every one of Zac Efron's movies and TV shows, where do you go next? Joey and Joe have chosen three paths, including Channing Tatum! Starting all the way back with Coach Carter and working toward today's blockbusters, the guys will watch and talk about everything Channing's ever done. Along the way, there w…
