In the clip, Nicolas Cage and Pedro Pascal are driving together in a car. While the former looks a bit questioning and concerned, Pascal smiles relieved and a little stupid, while the song “Make Your Own Kind of Music” by Mama Cass Elliot plays. These two facial expressions are great for making jokes. The scene comes from the film “Massive Talent”, which has also been available on the streaming service WOW since February 25.
In the film, Nicolas Cage plays an unsuccessful version of himself desperate for good roles. When a producer makes him an offer, the CIA contacts Cage, suspecting the producer might be involved in the arms trade. So let Cage spy on him. Pedro Pascal plays this arms dealer. It’s difficult to predict when a meme or clip will go viral, but the fact that it’s happening now of all times could also be due to the increasing popularity of Pascal, who is becoming a global superstar with the series “The Last of Us”.
