#27: "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" (2022) & Nicolas Cage: A Beginners Deep Dive

This week we breakdown the life and times of the enigmatic legend Nicolas Cage and take a look at his new movie "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" (2022) - a very meta comedy with a somewhat undefinable genre where Cage plays himself. I also talk about the Met Gala & the terrible ABBA dance party I attended.  Now seemed as good a time as any for your host to finally go down the Internet rabbit hole of Nicolas Cage's life that can only be described as baffling. From his most extreme method acting moments ("Nouveau Shamanic") to his most ostentatious (bizarre) purchases, we look at what makes Nicolas Cage, well, Nicolas Cage, and why this movie would not work with anyone else.Episode notes can be found here.Cover art by Isis Petit with coloration by Katie AndersonFollow the Pod's Instagram at @ingloriousbaguettes.
