Description
In this episode, Eric, Josh, and New Mexico Drew discuss the movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) that is streaming on Peacock. They use the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jimmy V 1993 ESPY Speech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ rubric—held in thought, laughed, and moved to tears—to argue that the movie/show/documentary is a full watch while interweaving the movie's narratives with their life narratives. In this episode, Eric, Josh, and New Mexico Drew dive into The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal, exploring its emotional and comedic undertones. They share personal reflections on friendship, family, career, and the impact of films on their lives. Additionally, one host reveals the unusual discovery of being born with a single tonsil and provides a compelling movie recommendation on Peacock. 00:00 Casual Banter 02:27 Podcast Introduction and NMD Welcome 03:32 Catching Up with Drew 04:04 Movie Logging and Letterboxd Etiquette 05:55 Favorite Watches and Commercials 06:49 Debating Ryan Gosling's Range 09:26 Eric's 30th Birthday Reflections 11:07 Drew's Full Watch: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent 22:47 Movies That Hit at the Right Time 31:55 The Shining and Childhood Horror Memories 33:00 Early Relationship and Movie Memories 33:45 Nicolas Cage Movie Reflections 35:40 The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” Think, Laugh, Cry38:46 Parenting and Emotional Reflections 48:07 Comedy Highlights and Favorite Scenes 58:42 Friendship Dynamics and Personal Growth 01:06:38 Final Thoughts Subscribe to Sweet & Condensed!
