Hi this is Steve this week on the Cinephiles we're doing another Patreon pick

Cinephiles patron Mackenzie Homer absolutely loves the Mike Nichols 1996

farce the bird cage and the truth is, so do we. This is an absolutely hilarious film

with great performances from Robin Williams, Nathan Lane, Gene Hackman, Tyan Weest, and

the ridiculously funny Hankizaria.

It also happens to be a film which shows just how much the world has changed in the last 20 years.

We had so much fun talking about the movie, particularly because we are joined on the

podcast by one of our favorite guests, animation producer and writer Michael Vogel.

And if you've never seen the birdcage, the best way to do it is by purchasing it on our website at cineophiles.net.

So that's Patreon pick The Bird Cage with special guest Michael Vogel this Friday on the cinephiles.

Don't use that tone to me.

What tone?

That sarcastic, contemptuous tone that means you know everything because you're a man and I know nothing because I'm a woman.

You're not a woman.

Oh, you bastard. Hello and welcome once again to the Citifiles where each week we enter the world of a great film

we explore its themes, the

filmmaking, and the influence it has on us today. My name is Steve Morris. I'm a

filmmaker and directing instructor in Los Angeles, California.

Hello, Synophile fans. My name is John Roca. I'm a voice over artist, actor, writer, producer, host.

Yes, currently all those things at this time in my life and very excited to talk about this movie today. I like that we do our

intros every single week and every single week you have to take a pause to think

about like what do I do? As many people watch Kaleider or know, sometimes I can't find my words in certain moments
