On this (very long & much delayed) episode of the FILM ETC. podcast, host Mike Webb gives out his thoughts on THE BAD GUYS, an animated heist comedy that marks the latest film from DreamWorks Animation, and stars an A-list cast including Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson, and Anthony Ramos. After a lifetime of legendary heists, notorious criminals "The Bad Guys" which are comprised of Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, Ms. Tarantula, Mr. Shark, and Mr. Piranha (Sam Rockwell, Marc Maron, Awkwafina, Craig Robinson, and Anthony Ramos) are finally caught. But to avoid a prison sentence, the animal outlaws must pull off their most challenging con yet -- becoming model citizens. Under the tutelage of their mentor, Professor Marmalade (Richard Ayoade), the dubious gang sets out to fool the world that they’re turning good. Directed by Pierre Perifel.

If you wanna see Nick Cage playing Nick Cage in a meta-narrative that's unlike any other Nick Cage movie (even if you haven't seen every Nick Cage movie), this Nick Cage movie will surely make you go full Nick Cage mode. But all Nick Cage jokes aside, this episode of the FILM ETC. podcast has host Mike Webb giving his full thoughts on THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT, starring (who else, than) Nicolas Cage. THE UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF MASSIVE TALENT stars Nicolas Cage as himself in this meta-narrative where he is clearly looking for a new role in a film and is in financial ruin. He is then given an offer of $1 million to attend the birthday party of a wealthy yet dangerous superfan named Javi (Pedro Pascal) in his estate in Mallorca, off the coast of Spain. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by two CIA operatives (Tiffany Haddish and Ike Barinholtz) and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. The film also stars Sharon Horgan, Alessandra Mastronardi, Jacob Scipio, Lily Sheen, Paco Leon, and Neil Patrick Harris. Directed by Tom Gormican.

There's something magical happening on this episode of the FILM ETC. podcast where host Mike Webb gives out his thoughts on the highly acclaimed French fantasy family drama PETITE MAMAN, the latest from filmmaker Céline Sciamma (PORTRAIT OF A LADY ON FIRE). How much praise will it get from Mike? (hint: a lot.) PETITE MAMAN stars identical twins Joséphine and Gabrielle Sanz in their acting debut. Following the death of her beloved Grandmother, 8-year-old Nelly (Joséphine) accompanies her parents to her mother's childhood home to begin the difficult process of cleaning out its contents. As Nelly explores the house and nearby woods, she is immediately drawn to Marion (Gabrielle), a neighbor her own age who's building a treehouse. What follows is a tender tale of childhood grief, memory and connection. Follow Mike on Twitter, Instagram, and Letterboxd @realmikewebb. Follow the show on Instagram @filmetcccast.
