Just June is wrapping up its random cinematic adventures here on @wedrinkandwewatchthings, and for our grand finale, we're getting meta (and maybe a little messy) with "The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent." This one was a bit of a ride, with Mackenzie having an absolute blast and Lemar... well, Lemar had some thoughts about its meta-ness. Grab your drink and prepare for a discussion that might be as divided as our opinions on the film itself!
This week, we're dissecting the movie where Nicolas Cage plays Nick Cage/Nicky, trying to save himself (and his family) from a very enthusiastic fan. We'll be talking about the sheer audacity of the concept, the moments where it truly shines (like when Pedro Pascal appears), and where it perhaps falls a little flat for some. Mackenzie will gush about the humor and the sheer joy of seeing Cage lean into his own legend and Pedro Pascal fully commit to his Nick Cage obsession, while Lemar will offer his perspective on whether it truly lands as a smart meta-commentary or just a fun diversion. Expect laughs, some head-scratching, and plenty of "only Nic Cage" moments.
If you're a devoted Cage-head, curious about how Hollywood tackles self-parody, have a crush on Pascal, or just want to hear a good-natured debate between two friends who saw the same movie very differently, then this is your episode. We're blending our wildly divergent experiences with our usual casual banter, making this the perfect, slightly chaotic send-off to Just June
