'SNL' Must-Watch: 'Get in the Cage' with Nic Cage & Nic Cage

A recurring feature on Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update newsdesk under head writer Seth Meyers is "Get In the Cage." The occasional bit pairs a fictionalized Nicolas Cage, played by SNL regular Andy Samberg, with recognizable stars to discuss Cage's acting style and his ambition to appear in every movie ever made.  Having appeared with the likes of Bradley Cooper, Jude Law, and Jake Gyllenhaal, Samberg's Cage has finally met his perfect match: Nicolas Cage.

The two Cages, one of whom is explained as a product of cloning discuss all manner of topics, from Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance to the notion of having a three-way between both Cages and the Declaration of Independence, an allusion to Cage's National Treasure series and the youthful Cage's real-life aspirations.

It's clear enough below, but the video is courtesy of Hulu.

Cage is often misconstrued as being unaware of his persona, but the world's biggest proponent of what the one and only Outlaw Vern dubbed Mega-Acting proves yet again that he knows exactly what he's doing.

The whole episode of SNL was hosted by Zooey Deschanel, but Cage dropped by to throw down some a promotional effort for Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, the Marvel Knights sequel in which he reprises the role of Johnny Blaze for new directors Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor, the duo behind Crank, Crank: High Voltage, and Gamer.  The sequel maintains its distance from 2007's Ghost Rider, with Cage being the only consistent element between the two.

Pick up some Rogue 3D Eyewear to watch the Ghost Rider urinate hellfire in 3D this Friday, February 17th.

And, because it's so, so sweet, here's a clip of Cage going gloriously mega in Ridley Scott's underrated Matchstick Men:
