The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
Nic Cage is back! (Not that he went anywhere) And this time he’s got Pedro the Mandalorian by his side. If you’re a fan of the Nic Cage movie rollercoaster, then you are already aware that he seems to take his parts like a handful of random pills. Some are fun, some are disappointing, and…
