Frank Caliendo posted a voiceover parody of a scene from David O. Russell's Madden, re-dubbing the footage with his John Madden impression and calling it "The Caliendo Cut", according to Bleeding Cool. The original clip, released by Prime Video, shows Nicolas Cage as John Madden using a marker and a clear screen to walk through a play during a game alongside Pat Summerall, played by Joel Murray.
Caliendo built his version on that same sequence, replacing the dialogue with his take on the coach and broadcaster's voice.
The film stars Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale, Kathryn Hahn, John Mulaney, Sienna Miller, Shane Gillis and Miles Burns.
Madden premieres in select theaters and on Prime Video on November 18.
