Look, we all know Nick Cage in one form or the other. We've seen him as the action hero and portrayed by Andy Sandberg on SNL, but we've never seen him like this. In season 2 episode 13 of Champion Casters, Michael and Joe watch Nicholas Cage transform into. . . Nick Cage in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Yes, this film is about a romance between a washed up Nick Cage and a charming--as--all--hell Pedro Pascal, but ultimately it's a love letter to Cage's career. Acting is hard. Making a movie is hard--even a bad movie. So when The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent takes aim at Nicholas Cage's movies it feels earnest, unlike some 4th wall--breaking or "nodding" senses of humor. Aside from all of this, the plot of this film is just bananas.
