In this episode, Eric, Josh, and New Mexico Drew discuss the movie The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022) that is streaming on Peacock.

They use the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Jimmy V 1993 ESPY Speech⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ rubric—held in thought, laughed, and moved to tears—to argue that the movie/show/documentary is a full watch while interweaving the movie's narratives with their life narratives.

In this episode, Eric, Josh, and New Mexico Drew dive into The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal, exploring its emotional and comedic undertones. They share personal reflections on friendship, family, career, and the impact of films on their lives.

Additionally, one host reveals the unusual discovery of being born with a single tonsil and provides a compelling movie recommendation on Peacock.
