In which the Mister and Monsters join me in reviewing THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT (2022). The film, written by Tom Gormican and Kevin Etten, is directed by Tom Gormican. The story follows the actor, Nick Cage (Nicolas Cage) as he navigates the surreal world of being a Hollywoodactor. His agent, Richard (NPH) convinces him to take a million dollar job to just show up at the birthday party of Javi Gutierrez (an absolutely fun and lovable Pedro Pascal), a millionaire and Cage superfan. Things start to go sideways when Cage is swept up in a CIA plot headed by Vivian (Tiffany Haddish) who’s revealed that Javi is a ruthless monster and head of a crime organization. The film mixes comedy and action and is an absolute delight and a MUST WATCH. The film has a run time of 1 h 47 m, and is rated R. Please note there are SPOILERS in this review.

This episode of the pod is dedicated to Cleo, Reese and Stephanie with love.
