The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent - #025

A film about Nicolas Cage, starring Nicolas Cage as Nick Cage. Did someone steal our fan fiction novel? This may be the single most meta movie ever made and a Nicolas Cage fans wet dream but does this self-referential love letter to Nicolas Cage do the man justice? We’ll find out as we breakdown an aptly named homage to everyone’s favorite actor The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

With his acting career going nowhere, his family life crumbling and facing financial ruin, a fictional version of Nicolas Cage accepts a $1 million offer to hang out at an obsessed wealthy fan’s birthday party. But things take a turn when the CIA recruits Nic to spy on his new found friend.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent stars the Mandalorian himself Pedro Pascal, Doogie Howser MD AKA Neil Patrick Harris, Emmy and Grammy award winning comedian/actress Tiffany Haddish, and of course, the man who puts the N-I-C in Nick Cage, Academy Award winning actor and the man who holds the unbearable weight of his incredibly massive talent upon his legendary shoulders, Nicolas Kim Coppola better known as Nicolas Cage.
