Wow, what a great story. I love how you put all the Nick Cage references into this story. I like how you keep everyone present and keep evolving the narrative to surprise me with the ending. Now you have gone and made me into the Pedro Pascal to your Nick Cage since we both are having to deal with the unbearable weight of your massive talent.
Now I am ravenous with hunger on my need to write even better.
Andrew I love the way you incorporate his obsession with Nicolas Cage, turning films in to metaphors.
The one part where this broke down for me was referring to “Fear and Loathing” and I knew that Nicolas Cage wasn’t in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I was thinking that line could be so much better if you made a reference to “Nic Cage tensing up watching a woman murdered in a snuff film during the critically acclaimed (because I really liked when you used that phrase over and over) movie 8mm.” (Or something like that)
Korean kids in a Cage story - love it. Nice work. But you didn't mention my fave Cage flick which I just saw last week for the first time - Bad Lieutenant (directed by Werner Herzog)!
I’m so glad you posted this here, it’s my favorite!

Haha thank you! I watched half of that movie on a plane recently. I should probably watch the other half....
SeattleSnowflake raves about this story and he was not wrong.

Awesome read, and I’m subscribing for more
Ah! I meant Leaving Las Vegas! Good catch! And thank you!

Wow, I haven't seen that one. I don't know how, but I haven't!
It's Cage on drugs - as if he needed them. A great story too.... and you can never go wrong with Herzog at the helm!
