Before "Wonka" became a box office hit, director Paul King had already carved out plenty of success with the critically acclaimed "Paddington" movies. Based on the beloved series of children's books, "Paddington" and "Paddington 2" are full of delightful, family-friendly humor and big beating hearts that push a wealth of kindness into the world (and they also politely take down British colonialism and xenophobia). While "Paddington" stands with a stellar 97% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, "Paddington 2" somehow managed to surpass the original and currently sits with a 99% critical rating. That love for the charming sequel was so overwhelming that it seeped into an unlikely project: a Nicolas Cage movie.

Before he became a star, Pedro Pascal was a fan just like the rest of us. The actor would watch films and TV shows and draw inspiration from what he’d see that he could bring into his own approach to acting. The work of Nicolas Cage was among the most influential for Pascal, it seems, and the actor recently shared the four Cage movies that shaped him as an actor.

While Pascal is perhaps better known for his TV work, the actor has steadily landed bigger and bigger movie roles. In 2022, for instance, he starred opposite Cage in the action comedy The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent.

“Nobody can tell ya there’s only one song worth singing.”
Despite being first released in 1969, Mama Cass Eliot’s classic single “Make Your Own Kind of Music” keeps making waves in modern pop culture. The latest example of the youths discovering The Mama & The Papas’ songstress’s ode to self care comes from (where else?) Tik Tok.
In late February, users on the sound-centric social media app uncovered a clip from the 2022 film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent that featured Cass’s song. In the movie, Nicolas Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself who accepts a $1 million payday to head to Mallorca and hang out with billionaire playboy Javi Gutierrez, played by The Last of Us star and the internet’s current best friend Pedro Pascal.
