The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent
On this episode of Good Pop, we follow up our discussion of the most Michael Bay movie of all time by diving into the most Nic Cage movie of all time! The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent is a film with a wild premise (Nic Cage playing a fictional version of himself who spends a weekend with a superfan who may or may not be a crimelord) that sounds like it shouldn't work, but somehow actually works out great.

Listen to Inheriting from LAist & NPR
"Inheriting" is a show about Asian American and Pacific Islander families, which explores how one event in history can ripple through generations. In doing so, the show seeks to break apart the AAPI monolith and tell a fuller story of these communities. In each episode, NPR’s Emily Kwong sits down with one family and facilitates deeply emotional conversations between their loved ones, exploring how their most personal, private moments are an integral part of history. Through these stories, we show how the past is personal and how to live with the legacies we’re constantly inheriting. New episodes premiere every Thursday.
