    #189 – Reminiscence | Directed by Lisa Joy (with Brett Salter of Irish Salt)

    Tune in as Brett Salter (Irish Salt) jumps back into his guest chair for a breakdown of Reminiscence, the 2021 tech noir movie that feels strongly evocative of predecessors like Strange Days, Inception, and Chinatown while presenting the ways in which humanity has sunk back into old memories as an escape from the flooding and the climate change that’s plaguing its near-future dystopia. The humid and melancholy atmosphere that drips off of this film, debunking a myth about the Titanic, and Hugh Jackman knowing just how to sink his teeth into characters with intense and obsessive souls stand out as a few of the topics that the hosts cover on this episode. Written and directed by Lisa Joy, Reminiscence stars Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Ferguson, Thandiwe Newton, Cliff Curtis, Daniel Wu, Marina de Tavira, Brett Cullen, Mojean Aria, Natalie Martinez, Angela Sarafyan, Javier Molina, Sam Medina, and Nico Parker.

    #188 – Hulu’s Happiest Season | Directed by Clea DuVall (with Dustin Holden of Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap)

    Tune in as Christmas wraps up on the podcast for this fourth week of December! Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch and The Rewatch Recap) hops back onto the program to discuss Happiest Season, the 2020 Hulu rom-com that follows lesbian couple Abby and Harper as they make sudden plans to visit Harper’s family for Christmas—a plan that veers off-course when it’s revealed that she had never come out to her relatives. The heights of celebrity women like Elizabeth Debicki, tips on white elephant gifting, and reading Harper’s sister Jane as neurodivergent comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Clea DuVall, Happiest Season stars Kristen Stewart, Mackenzie Davis, Dan Levy, Aubrey Plaza, Mary Holland, Mary Steenburgen, Victor Garber, Alison Brie, Ana Gasteyer, Jake McDorman, Sarayu Blue, Jinkx Monsoon, BenDeLaCreme, Anis N’Dobe, Asiyih N’Dobe, Timothy Simons, Lauren Lapkus, Caroline Harris, Jenny Gulley, and Dominique Allen Lawson.

    #187 – The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year by Ally Carter (with Andy of Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts)

    Tune in as the merriment continues on this podcast for the third week of December! Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) is jumping back onboard to talk all about The Most Wonderful Crime of the Year, the 2024 Christmas novel by Ally Carter that blends together romance with a cozy mystery in the mansion of a famed author who goes missing. The insidiousness of gaslighting, the comfy cheese of Christmas rom-com flicks like Hot Frosty and Love Hard, and the connections that both Arthur and Andy draw between this book and The Nightmare Before Christmas (which just got covered on 2CC this month) comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. TW: gaslighting (in the past), emotional abuse (in the past), infidelity (in the past), divorce (in the past), physical violence, gun violence, discussion of murder, medical injury, parent death (in the past), child abandonment (in the past), mention of past alcoholism, fire, and mention of past pregnancy Spoilers start at 24:35 Create your podcast today! #madeonzencastr Here’s how you can learn more about Palestine and Israel Here’s how you can keep up-to-date on this genocide Here’s how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected online Good Word: • Andy: From Here to the Great Unknown: A Memoir by Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough (audiobook form) and James by Percival Everett (audiobook form) • Arthur: Shoot ‘Em Up Reach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!

    #186 – Better Watch Out | Directed by Chris Peckover (with Robyn Zabukovec)

    Tune in as the program keeps the holiday season rolling onward for the second week of December! This time around, filmmaker friend Robyn Zabukovec (@TheFinalGirly) hops back into her guest seat for a breakdown of Better Watch Out, the 2016 Christmas horror-comedy that follows a 17-year-old babysitter and a couple adolescent boys as they try to fend off a home invasion during Christmastime. An arachnophobic actor summoning up the guts to work with real huntsman spiders on set, a PSA against drunk driving, and a thematic correlation that this movie may share with Adventure Time comprise some of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Chris Peckover, Better Watch Out stars Olivia DeJonge, Levi Miller, Ed Oxenbould, Aleks Mikic, Dacre Montgomery, Virginia Madsen, and Patrick Warburton.

    #185 – The Nightmare Before Christmas | Directed by Henry Selick (with Robert “Stew” Stewart of STEW World Order)

    Tune in as 2CC properly embraces the holiday season with a full month of episodes to go along with that cheery theme! For this first week of December, Robert “Stew” Stewart (STEW World Order) is jumping back into his guest chair for a review and recap of The Nightmare Before Christmas, the 1993 stop-motion animation classic that takes us to Halloween Town and the shenanigans that its beloved king Jack Skellington cooks up after discovering the existence of Christmas. Screenwriter Caroline Thompson’s frustrations with this movie and with the racism behind Oogie Boogie, the important reminder that Henry Selick (and not Tim Burton) directed the film, and a lyric in “Jack’s Obsession” reminding Arthur of The Room stand out as a few of the subjects for this episode. Directed by Henry Selick, The Nightmare Before Christmas stars Chris Sarandon, Danny Elfman, Catherine O’Hara, William Hickey, Glenn Shadix, Ken Page, Paul Reubens, Edward Ivory, Debi Durst, Greg Proops, Kerry Katz, Randy Crenshaw, Sherwood Bull, Carmen Twillie, Glenn Walters, John Morris, and Joe Ranft.

    #184 – Pet | Directed by Carles Torrens (with Rick of Pixel Project Radio)

    Tune in as Rick (Pixel Project Radio) collaborates with Arthur for a review and recap of Pet, the 2016 thriller that uses its familiar premise of a man stalking a woman to deploy some interesting and unnerving twists and turns. The debatable efficacy of how this movie explores the psychology and the power play at the core of its tale, an autistic-coded reading of Pet that leads into a tangent about The Babadook, and medical content and plot points that leave the hosts greatly suspending their disbelief comprise some of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Carles Torrens, Pet stars Dominic Monaghan, Ksenia Solo, Jennette McCurdy, Da’Vone McDonald, Nathan Parsons, Janet Song, and Sean Blakemore.

    #183 – The Game | Directed by David Fincher (with Brett Salter of Irish Salt)

    Tune in as author and podcaster Brett Salter (Irish Salt) jumps back onto the program for a breakdown of The Game, the 1997 mindfuck thriller in which a mysterious corporation takes an investment banker who rules over his lonesome life with the fist of a control freak, then makes it their mission to rip away any grasp he has on what’s real and what’s manufactured. A quick and negative review from Arthur for Netflix’s Trigger Warning, Michael Douglas’s knack for playing assholes and sleazeballs, The Game giving off A Christmas Carol vibes, and the frustrating ending comprise a few of the topics that this episode is covering. Directed by David Fincher, The Game stars Michael Douglas, Deborah Kara Unger, Sean Penn, James Rebhorn, Peter Donat, Carroll Baker, Armin Mueller-Stahl, Anna Katarina, Charles Martinet, Daniel Schorr, Mark Boone Junior, and Yuji Okumoto.

    #182 – Marvel’s Agent Carter | Created by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely (with Joshua R. Pangborn)

    Tune in as filmmaker Joshua R. Pangborn (Sidekick Productions) returns to the podcast for a breakdown of Marvel’s Agent Carter, the two-season MCU TV show that premiered in 2015 and follows secret agent Peggy Carter as she embarks on espionage missions with the help of a few allies while wrestling with the daily challenges and misogyny that come with living as a single woman in the 1940s. A disability depiction that’s handled respectfully enough for the mid-2010s, a character’s military backstory sending Arthur into a rant, and a non-irritating usage of the love triangle trope comprise a few of this episode’s talking points. Created by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, Agent Carter stars Hayley Atwell, James D’Arcy, Chad Michael Murray, Enver Gjokaj, Shea Whigham, Dominic Cooper, Bridget Regan, Lyndsy Fonseca, Ralph Brown, Kyle Bornheimer, Lesley Boone, Reggie Austin, Wynn Everett, Kurtwood Smith, Currie Graham, Lotte Verbeek, Ken Marino, and Sarah Bolger.
