| 0:00.0 | I don't even like to work at acting anymore. I don't because it means I'm lying in some way. I don't act. I |
| 0:07.2 | feel and I |
| 0:09.2 | imagine that I channel. |
| 0:31.2 | Hello everyone and welcome to unspilled Nick Cage. We're gonna talk about Nick Cage today. |
| 0:43.1 | Yes, we are experimenting with our episodes and we're gonna focus on an actor that I think a lot |
| 0:46.8 | of people are talking about right now because his brand new movie is coming out. That is a very |
| 0:52.6 | meta film. I don't even heard about this new film. It's called the Umbarable Weight of Massive Talent |
| 0:57.7 | and it stars Nick Cage as Nick Cage. The government recruits him to go pull off a secret mission to |

| 1:58.3 | set. You know he is to me in many ways this artist that is continually trying to challenge himself. |
| 2:06.2 | I think that some people look at him as just a source of fodder and as a joke but one thing's |
| 2:12.6 | a constant that for over two decades he has been at the forefront of pop culture as a leading man, |
| 2:20.4 | as an action hero, as a weirdo. And I think that would love. As a t-shirt. Yes. |
| 2:27.0 | I mean yeah I would love to do another Cage movie because I don't think we've done anything |
| 2:31.7 | besides raising Arizona and if you count as like tiny little popping up in Fast Times at Ridge |
