2 Cents Critic Arthur Howell

Tune in as Pride Month reaches the end of the road on 2CC! With this fourth and final episode of June, Arthur teams back up with his filmmaker buddy Robyn Zabukovec for a breakdown of Sound of Violence, the 2021 slasher horror film that uses synesthesia as the innovative foundation for an atmospheric and grisly ride. Famous synesthetes, admiration for the theremin, and the art gallery scene from Sound of Violence unnerving Arthur to the point that he feels pins and needles prickling through his fingers comprise just a few of this episode’s talking points.



Written and directed by Alex Noyer, Sound of Violence stars Jasmin Savoy Brown, Lili Simmons, James Jagger, Tessa Munro, Brian Huskey, Dana L. Wilson, Wes McGee, Mataeo Mingo, Corsica Wilson, David Gironda Jr., Geo Lee, Sarah Chaney, James Wellington, Lola Davidson, and Tara Elizabeth Cho.

Tune in as Pride Month keeps advancing forward on the show! For the third episode of June, Cory McCullough, AKA Gory Cory (The Scream Teens from Anatomy of a Scream Pod Squad), hops into the guest seat for a review and recap of Jennifer’s Body, the 2009 horror-comedy that had initially been torn apart and deemed to be a dud, but now has rightfully grown into a queer and feminist cult classic. The misogyny and sexual objectification that Megan Fox has had to endure from Hollywood, R-slurs and other aspects that stamp a late-2000s air onto the movie, and Arthur learning about the existence of Super Target comprise a few of the discussion topics for this episode.



Directed by Karyn Kusama, Jennifer’s Body stars Megan Fox, Amanda Seyfried, Johnny Simmons, Adam Brody, Sal Cortez, Ryan Levine, Juan Riedinger, Colin Askey, Chris Pratt, Juno Rinaldi, Kyle Gallner, Josh Emerson, J.K. Simmons, Amy Sedaris, Cynthia Stevenson, Nicole Leduc, Aman Johal, and Valerie Tian.

Tune in as Pride Month stays strong on 2CC! For the second episode of June, Abigail (The Manic Pixie Weirdo) collaborates with Arthur for a breakdown of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, the 2020 novel by V.E. Schwab that embarks on a centuries-wide journey sprouting out of a Faustian bargain for immortality, albeit the sort where nobody is able to remember you. Addie’s central relationships with Henry and Luc, the ins and outs of how her immortality operates in this world, and worries about the upcoming film adaptation comprise a few of the subjects that the hosts cover on this episode.



TW: death, toxic relationship, mental illness, depression, suicide attempt (both present on the page and discussion of it in the past), suicidal ideation, alcoholism, drug use, drug abuse, misogyny, sexual content, sex work, starvation, war, and minor inclusion of fire

Tune in as the Rebecca Hall of Fame comes to a close with its fifth and final episode of May! It’s been such a great journey to explore her filmography throughout the month, and the conclusion shall arrive via Arthur’s friend Jared returning to 2CC for a deep dive into The Night House, the 2020 horror movie that cleverly uses negative space to deliver some paranormal and psychological chills. Jared’s pitch for a horror remake of Fifty Shades of Grey with a BDSM demon, Arthur’s recommendation of a song from the boring and uncomfy Sydney Sweeney movie Clementine, and a discussion about the debatable existence of an afterlife comprise just a few of the talking points for this last episode of May.



Directed by David Bruckner, The Night House stars Rebecca Hall, Sarah Goldberg, Vondie Curtis-Hall, Evan Jonigkeit, and Stacy Martin.

Tune in as the Rebecca Hall of Fame dishes out its fourth episode of the month! Clayton Jones II and Shawn Murphy (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast) are retaking their guest seats for a breakdown of The Prestige. Adapted from the Christopher Priest novel of the same name, this 2006 mystery-thriller follows the increasingly hostile and obsessive rivalry between a pair of talented stage magicians in 1890s London. Talking points for this episode include nitpicking the movie’s unrealistic depiction of drowning, Clayton’s distaste for The Illusionist, and the hosts’ favorite Michael Caine roles in a Christopher Nolan movie.



Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Prestige stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine, David Bowie, Andy Serkis, Piper Perabo, Samantha Mahurin, Roger Rees, Jim Piddock, William Morgan Sheppard, Ricky Jay, Chao Li Chi, and Edward Hibbert.
