The Northman & The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent / Ep. 203

On Episode 203 of the Always the Critic Podcast, it’s a double feature as we review viking revenge story The Northman and action-comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, starring Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal. 

Rico and Jess first talk about the Ringer’s rom-com coverage and J.Lo’s quietly prolific rom-com career. Turning toward Iceland, the duo express how strange and wonderful Robert Eggers’s The Northman was, mentioning the funky plot, the hallucinogenic visuals, and Alexander Skarsgard’s acting skills and charisma (or lack thereof). Later in the show, Rico and Jess discuss The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, (XX:XX) including how entertaining they found the movie, the lovely coupling of Pedro Pascal and Nic Cage, how meta the film is, and more.
