The Daily · Nicolas Cage Made Himself a Legend. Then He Had to Live With It. · 23 May 2026 podcast

Well, so Duchamp's shovel started this idea, I think, in pop art of taking a utilitarian tool and isolating it and we could regard it as fine art.

And then you had Warhol doing that with the soup cans.

And then I looked at all that.

And then I looked at Lichtenstein.

And Lichtenstein utilized the – or embraced a mass utility in the comic strip –

And broke it down all the way to the little printing press dots that you see from the printing press, and he threw it into a still life.

And it became a kind of Seurat pointillism, but it was a Lichtenstein taking irreverence and reverence in a comic graphic and making it...

fine art and almost being irreverent about fine art while doing it.

So what am I doing with noir or spider noir is I'm taking the reverence I have

for the actors that I cherish like Bogart or Cagner or Edward G. Robinson or Peter Lorre from those old movies, and I'm taking the mass utility of the television, or the tube, if you will, and I'm trying to mash that reverence I have up with a pop icon, a Marvel icon in Spider-Man, if you will, and make a collision in such a way that I'm taking

television, which is a mass tool that many people imbibe on and ingest.

And I'm saying, look at this.

So that maybe the hope is that a young person in their teens would go, oh, wow, what is that?

That's black and white.

I'm not too familiar with black and white.

Well, I can watch it in color, but I can also watch it in black and white.

What is black and white?

Oh, my gosh, there's this immense...

volume of beautiful art that all these early actors were in.

Let me check that out.
