Sometimes the Top 5 section of the show supports the theme of a particular week, sometimes it's used to explore a specific aspect of or contribution to cinema and other times it is the consequence of the returning Dan's failure to understand a joke at his expense. We open this week with a chat about the Top 5 Eagles. Who knows exactly how Sidey will cobble together something out of our ramblings about OPERATION FORTUNE: RUSE DE GUERRE, a title so forgettable it immediately induces retrograde amnesia. Guy Ritchie returns - did he ever really go away - with his take on a MISSION IMPOSSIBLE style globe-trotting spy caper, throwing in some inspiration from THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT to bring us the story of Orson Fortune (Jason Statham) forced to recruit Hollywood Star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) in order to stop the sale of a deadly new weapons technology. Exotic locations, decent enough action, a story which movies along at a pace, some humour of both the weird and obvious style, in theory there should be a lot to like here. Aubrey Plaza for one thing, Cary Elwes for another or a terrifically pantomime Hugh Grant who mixes his PADDINGTON 2 villain with his turn in THE GENTLEMEN to great effect. Never settling too long to get boring but unfortunately never becoming remotely interesting either such that I was forgetting it as I was watching it which explains our all over the place review. If it was released now we would almost certainly decry it as a shameless politically correct HE-MAN rip off, cynically calculated to sell toys but BRAVESTARR wasn't, it was released in 1987 and the most interesting aspect of it by far is how it was derived from traditions associated with the shamanic cultures of Native Americans and Old West stories except the horses are cybernetically augmented, the bar tenders are green-skinned, orange tashed HULK rip offs and the enemies include enormous demonic cattle and sexy snake women. We enjoyed this but was it just the nostalgia talking really?We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

Comedian Greg Stone joins to discuss the 2022 action comedy THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT starring Nicolas Cage, Pedro Pascal, Ike Barinholtz, and Tiffany Haddish. Cage portrays an altered version of himself who, suffering from a career slump and dejected from missing out on a good role, agrees to appear at a billionaire's birthday party in Majorca for a quick $1 million dollar payday. Things take a turn when the cheerful billionaire, Javi (Pascal) is suspected of arms dealing and Cage is recruited by the CIA to help take down his empire. Writer/director Tom Gormicon infuses the film with multiple nods to Cage's most iconic roles, making UNBEARABLE WEIGHT part buddy comedy and part career retrospective for one of the American cinema's most fascinating modern personas. Join MNAM as we take on the unbearable weight of podcast during cold and flu season, and the hilarious Stone takes us on diversions into Star Wars television shows, Predator, The Voice, the Waco siege, Everything Everywhere All At Once, Casablanca, parenting TikTok accounts, Wonder Woman 1984, and much, much more!

After our hosts tepid response to Guy Ritchie's "Ruse De Guerre", the sub-genre of "media celebrities thrust into wildly dangerous situations by [insert intelligence service]" started to feel a little under-represented - that is, until the FMB realised that Nic Cage's "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent" had thrown its hat in the ring months ago... next week: The Spine of Night
The Plotaholics' are going strong this week as we continue to explore the films that came out in 2022. This week's episode is a CRIMINALLY UNDER THE RADAR BANGER!This week we're talking about the Nicholas Cage film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. This film, costarring Padro Pascal, shows a fictionalized (we hope not) version of Nicholas Cage living in Hollywood. His career and relationship with his daughter are following the path of his marriage...failing when he's offered $1 million dollars to appear at the birthday party of eccentric billionaire manchild Javi (Pascal). What Nicholas (and Nicky) don't realize is that the CIA is crashing the party. Featuring Tiffany Haddish, and Ike Barrinholtz in supporting roles, this hilarious meta-action comedy will leave you laughing, and leaving you hoping that the actors' on-screen personas are actually their real-life ones. SPOILER ALERT! If you have not watched this film yet you can stream it on Starz. Then come on back here and have a listen!Support the show

Welcome to our Summer special. We know what you are thinking dear listener, At The Flicks, late again. You might be right, or we might be early for Summer 2023, you decide, we couldn't possibly comment. Don't go looking at the films under review to work out if they are released 2022 or 2023. It's not that type of review show. This is a classic movie review show. To be honest, we haven't been that impressed with many of the movies released recently, so we set a challenge for the review team. Pick a highly acclaimed movie you have never seen, then we would all review it. The selection process made for some very interesting choices. Now, we aren't going to tell you who picked what film, you will have to listen to the show to find that out, however we will tell you what films were selected, and they are as follows: The Cabinet Of Dr Caligari. The classic silent German film from when way back in 1921, when even our Graham was young. This film has received much renewed attention as a talking point in the Nicholas Cage feature The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent. Check this out to find out if the review team rate it as highly as Nicholas Cage. Sunset Boulevard (1950). Billy Wilder's acidic take on Hollywood turned out to be a marmite film for the review team. Listen in to find out who liked it and who didn't. Inherit The Wind (1960). Spencer Tracy and Frederic March star in this court room drama based on the 1925 Scopes Monkey Trail. The one that some in the team had not heard of but all of enjoyed. Also prompted a fascinating discussion about the relevance of the movie in today's society. My Fair Lady (1964). Pardon me. What, the Oscar winning British musical based on the play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw? Is this a mistake? Not at all, although everyone thought the person who selected this had picked it for mischievous reasons, which I guess is a good clue as to who selected it. Vertigo (1958). The classic Hitchcock thriller and Sight & Sound's selection for the greatest film of all time. Do the review team agree with Sight & Sound – check out our discussion. Five great films for which we give our views. Let us know what you think, if the show is a success, we will pick another five classics in the near future (or will that be the near past?). Oh, one final comment, if you listen closely, you will find out how reviewer Darren got his name. A great story. Until the next time, see you At The Flicks.

John & Mike get their Cage on as they discuss "The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent"
The new THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT contains a lot of the same DNA as ADAPTATION, but instead of screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, the film's meta energy is focused on star Nicolas Cage, once again playing two competing sides of the same tortured talent. This week we get into how the confluence of actor, persona, and screenplay works differently in each film, but first we process UNBEARABLE WEIGHT's lighthearted excavation of its central talent, and consider whether we may have already moved past the stage of Cage's career that the film is commenting on. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ADAPTATION, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, Nicolas Cage, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net. We may respond to it on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes, recommendations, and more.

His videos about the dangers to democracy embodied by Donald Trump and the Republican Party have been viewed online more than 250 million times. Don Winslow is the author of many bestselling novels, including "Savages" (2010), "The Cartel" (2015), "The Force" (2017), and "The Border" (2019). His work has also been adapted for major Hollywood movies and TV series. His new book, the first in a trilogy, is "City on Fire." He explains that the struggle to save American democracy will be a very long one and that exhaustion, quitting, and surrender are not options. Winslow also warns that Donald Trump and his cabal will escape serious punishment for their crimes and why naïve optimism is the enemy of democracy and the long struggle against the global right. Don Winslow also offers advice on writing and his vocation, and the lessons about life and being a good father, husband, man, and citizen that he learned from his role-models and mentors. In this bountiful episode of the podcast, Chauncey DeVega prepares the American people for the great anti-climax that will be the “revelations” soon to be made fully public by the House Jan. 6 committee about Donald Trump's coup attempt and the attack on the Capitol. Chauncey also shares a story about the importance of being kind to ourselves. And Chauncey DeVega goes to the movies and shares his reviews of Everything Everywhere All at Once, Ambulance, The Contractor (which was a very, very special screening), and The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent. Friend of the podcast Mr. Bill also stops by for a special discussion of the amazing new film, The Northman.

We're offering four Nicolas Cages for the price of two with this week's pairing, inspired by Cage's latest, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, which finds the actor playing two connected versions of himself. But before entering that hall of mirrors, we're heading back to 2002's ADAPTATION for a different strain of meta exercise centered on another set of Nicolas Cages, this one playing the film's screenwriter, Charlie Kaufman, as well as his twin brother/personification of his own self-loathing, Donald. The exact nature of Donald's character and how it shapes the film's third act is a big point of discussion this week, as is how literally we are meant to take the film's title when it comes to its literary source material. Please share your comments, thoughts, and questions about ADAPTATION, THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, or anything else in the world of film, by sending an email to comments@nextpictureshow.net. We may respond to it on our Patreon (patreon.com/NextPictureShow), where you can also find bonus episodes, recommendations, and more.

In the action comedy The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent, Nicolas Cage plays a fictionalized Nicolas Cage. This down-on-his-luck version of the actor must get out of a jam after he is offered a million dollars to attend the birthday party of a potentially deadly superfan, played by Pedro Pascal. Also starring Tiffany Haddish, Ike Barinholtz and Sharon Horgan, the movie gets meta as it draws heavily on the Cage's career and long history of eccentric performances.

For over four decades, Nicolas Cage has remained a distinctive and unpredictable screen presence, navigating a career that has gone from memorable character actor in the 80s, to unlikely movie star and Oscar-winner in the 90s, to VOD mainstay in the 2010s, and then, most recently, to critically (re)acclaimed actor finally playing roles worthy of his talent. Last year's “Pig” earned Cage some of his best reviews in years, and now with the new meta-Cage movie THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT in theaters, the Cage-aissance is in full swing.

"The Unbearable Weight Of Massive Talent," which is now playing in theaters from Lionsgate, is not only a showcase role for Nicolas Cage but also a tribute to the Academy Award-winning actor. Anyone who is a fan will be won over by the film's humor, action, and fearlessness with how much Nicolas Cage throws himself into playing an exaggerated version of himself alongside a hilarious Pedro Pascal. The duo's fantastic chemistry might win over even critics and skeptics. Director/Writer Tom Gormican and co-writer Kevin Etten were kind enough to spend a few minutes talking with me about their newest film, how they managed to convince Nicolas Cage to come on board, what it was like working with Pedro Pascal, which movies would they program for a Nicolas Cage Film Festival and more!
