The Movie RobCast

Ep 146: The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent

Listen on

Episode notes

Recorded early on a Sunday morning (which is why the guest says, "Good morning"), the latest Robcast tries to shoulder The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent. Joining Robs Daniel & Wallis for this Cage match is Dr. Chris Cooling. Listeners will have previously heard Chris on our Christmas episode, urging people to check out the anti-Xmas movie, The Silent Partner. Here, he brings his vast knowledge of cinema to bear on that motion picture conundrum, Nicolas Cage.

Cage goes meta in The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, playing himself caught up in an international espionage caper. Is this prime Cage? Or are we prisoners of the Ghostland again? Listen in to find out.

To finish the episode, Chris discusses his love of Martin Scorsese's remake of Cape Fear, in relation to Rob D's book on the movie. Details below on where to get the book at a discount.
