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

feel and I

imagine that I channel.

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

2:27.0

I mean yeah I would love to do another Cage movie because I don't think we've done anything
