Nicholas Cage goes to a pagan island run by women to solve a crime of a girl that may or may not exist and definitely not get stung by bees.

We saw the wicker man, so you know what that means?

Now it's time for how did this campaign?

We're gonna have a good time celebrate some failure, not just be a hater, because you know you wonder, how did this get paid? Let's follow in the mediocrity of subpar art. Perhaps we'll find the answer

to the question, how did this get made? Hello, people of earth and welcome to how did this get

made, the show where we try to make sense of the movies that make no sense. We have actually a

really big show for you

Well, the beginning of the movie, which has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, opens up in this coffee shop, and it's like he's looking at a self-help book on tape. But it's like the weird dialogue that was like written in a high school play. Like, if I just ate one of them burgers, I'd be in a trance too. Like just, yeah. It's like the bad part of a horror movie where you just like get to the horror part of the movie. And you know that that guy was Aaron Eckhart in. Yeah. Yeah. But that's all.... It's because it's a Nealabute movie, I assumed.
