Charlie Kauffman hit a wall while writing his follow-up to his breakthrough hit, Being John Malkovich. I promise that we hit anything but podcaster’s block with this episode. While the film places a spotlight on what happens behind the scene of a movie, it dives deep into the depths of depression with Nicolas Cage. How you see yourself is a big portion of how we see the world around us, how we interact and more. In this episode, we’re doubling our Cage fun and diving down deep. How does depression adapt to airwaves? How does mental health awareness and hope adapt to your ears? Hit play and subscribe to find out.
