The investment that director Brett Leonard puts into VR through projects like Virtuosity and The Lawnmower Man, the lovably bonkers expanse of Russell Crowe's committed performance, the cheesy and dated 90s CGI in this cyberpunk landscape, and the missed opportunity to further flesh out the commentary on topics like incarcerated slave labor and police brutality stand out as a few of the subjects that this episode covers.

The black comedy that this film manages to smoothly blend in with its suspense, appreciation for onscreen blood that avoids looking too fake, the time when the cops had caught Robyn jaywalking through a blizzard, and whether it's less painful to die from the heat or from the cold comprise just some of the talking points for this episode.

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts) hops back onto the podcast for a review and recap of the 2019 revenge thriller novel The Golden Cage by Camilla Läckberg, which follows a housewife who's stuck in a loveless marriage and ends up embarking on a quest of ruthless retribution against the patriarchal forces that have been oppressing her for far too long. The ways in which this outwardly sexy book hits you with all its surprisingly depressing weight, the rootability of the ferocious and enigmatic Faye, and the pitfalls of being too polite make up some of the talking points for this episode.

Tune in as Makayla (Your Friendly Neighborhood Blerd) jumps onto the podcast for a breakdown of First Kill, the 2022 lesbian vampire Netflix series that follows the forbidden romance between two teenagers—one who's of the literally bloodsucking sort, the other who's of the monster-hunting variety. It's a shame that this only had the chance to stream for a couple months before the big red N suddenly decided to cancel it. The sociopathic Elinor quite possibly being the most fascinating character here, the show taking an incredibly dated and MAGA-era stab at political commentary, and the terrifying state of generative and deepfake AI in Hollywood stand out as a few of the talking points for this episode. Created by V.E. Schwab, First Kill stars Sarah Catherine Hook, Imani Lewis, Elizabeth Mitchell, Aubin Wise, Gracie Dzienny, Dominic Goodman, Phillip Mullings, Jr., Jason R.

An intense BTS feud that led to different cuts of this movie being released, drawing inspiration from giallo, the therapy group in the plot acting like a dysfunctional family, and 90s-era queer representation that's both progressive for its time and dated for our contemporary world comprise just a few of the subjects that get coverage in today's episode.

Tune in as Arthur's pal Anna hops back into their guest seat for a deep dive into Upload, the Prime Video series that follows a technologically advanced near-future in which people have figured out a way to, well, upload their consciousness into a digital afterlife. Running for three seasons since 2020, this show, which feels reminiscent of The Good Place, has been renewed for a fourth and final season. Talking points for today's episode include people's excessive fixation on Claudia Sulewski supposedly resembling Billie Eilish, the Likable Bro charisma that helps a star like Robbie Amell offset his worrisome filmography, Upload's thought-provoking lens on capitalism (albeit a lens that's clearly provided by liberals), and Arthur's vehement defense of the Nathan/Nora chemistry.

Tune in as Arthur's buddy Anna hops back onto the program for a deep dive into Don't Worry Darling, the 2022 psychological thriller that had been swamped in a notorious wave of media frenzy (remember the spit mystery, anyone?). But once you dig past the Hollywood hubbub, what do you get with this mindfuck-lite trip through a 1950s desert-set company town whose vision of idyllic suburbia just may be hiding dark secrets beneath the surface? Along with unpacking all of that on this episode, the discussion covers rom-com chatter that ranges from Anna's Isn't It Romantic-related story to the hosts' shared take that Set It Up is enjoyable enough while being overrated, Anna's numerous imitations of Harry Styles's “our life together” line, Arthur's hatred for the Wicked trailer, and interesting material from both the spec script and the revised script that had ultimately been left out of DWD (perhaps to its detriment). Directed by Olivia Wilde, Don't Worry Darling stars Florence Pugh, Harry Styles, Chris Pine, Olivia Wilde, KiKi Layne, Gemma Chan, Nick Kroll, Sydney Chandler, Kate Berlant, Asif Ali, Douglas Smith, Timothy Simons, Ari'el Stachel, Steve Berg, and Dita Von Teese.

Tune in as Arthur's pal Kate comes back around to the program for a breakdown of Schindler's List, the 1993 Holocaust drama that covers the real-life tale of German industrialist and Nazi Party member Oskar Schindler as he ends up using his factory work to rescue over a thousand Jews. Considering the genocide that Israel has been committing against Palestine for the past nine months (or really, for decades), it's timely to go back through history and focus on a previous genocide. Frustrations with the sanitization of the dickweasel parts of Schindler's life, the movie's choice to draw parallels between Schindler and Nazi Amon Göth, and the hosts' favorite film composers comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Schindler's List stars Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagall, Embeth Davidtz, Ezra Dagan, Wojciech Klata, Bettina Kupfer, and Ludger Pistor.

Tune in as friend of the show Guy Bradford returns to his guest chair once again for a review and recap of Very Bad Things, the 1998 black comedy that follows the ludicrous and murderous consequences of a Las Vegas bachelor party gone tragically wrong. The different ways in which this movie's utterly ruthless and cynical sense of humor hits the hosts, trying to determine if this has any queer-coding going on, Urban Dictionary's various definitions of “flyboy,” and the cult leader vibe that Christian Slater exudes here comprise just a few of the topics for this episode. Written and directed by Peter Berg, Very Bad Things stars Jon Favreau, Christian Slater, Leland Orser, Jeremy Piven, Daniel Stern, Cameron Diaz, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Tyler Cole Malinger, Joey Zimmerman, Kobe Tai, and Russell B. McKenzie.

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.
