Ep 79: GET UNCAGED!! - Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent Movie Review

Over the last few years, Nicolas Cage seems to have made a comeback, and today’s movie seems to embody everything we love about the actor. Tuning in you’ll hear about the setup of this action-packed comedy film in which Nicolas Cage plays himself caught between a super fan (played by Pedro Pascal) and a CIA agent (played by Tiffany Haddish), with plenty of references to some of our favourite Nicolas Cage films. In this episode, we discuss why it’s so refreshing to see an actor play himself in this way and not take himself too seriously and how Will Smith could probably benefit from doing something similar in light of the recent incident with Chris Rock. You’ll hear about some of our favourite scenes, why the third act fell short, the film’s similarity to Tropic Thunder and how the friendship between Nicolas Cage and Javier forms the heart and soul of this film. You’ll hear a breakdown of some of the most enjoyable things about this film from the trivia to the intensity of some of the scenes, the character of Nicolas Cage’s alter-ego and even a great deal of appreciation for his hairline. To find out why The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is the perfect tribute to any super fan of Nicolas Cage and which movies you may want to rewatch before you see it, tune in today!
