More Movies Please!

Steven and Sean want to watch all the movies. No really, ALL the movies. We're both filmmakers (although Sean's been dabbling in other things) who love to talk about all the movies we see. Each episode, we discuss a movie we've recently watched and decide whether or not it's worth your time. Hosted by Steven Reyes and Sean Anderson.

On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are wishing we were Nicolas Cage and best friends with Pedro Pascal. We watched the 2022 film from Tom Gormican, The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

I’m putting it out there right now: Nic Cage is one of our finest actors. Not only is he a freaking Oscar winner, but he also does weird meta movies like this one. Doesn’t he seem like the craziest hang imaginable?

There may have been some tough years in his past. Who among us doesn’t occasionally have some money troubles and have to accept work we’d rather not do? But should we get on his case for stuff like Bangkok Dangerous and Drive Angry?

For every one of those films, there’s a Moonstruck, a Leaving Las Vegas, a The Rock. He’s the best, and he shows us why in this delightful film.
