Podcast appearances and mentions of Laurence Fishburne

Tune in as Pride Month rolls onward for its second week on 2CC!

The utterly trans layers of this iconic film, Tom Cruise and his representation of the predatory cult Scientology, multiple instances of Anna quoting the John Wick franchise, and the comparison that Arthur draws between Switch from The Matrix and Val from gen:LOCK pop out as just a few of the talking points in this episode.Written and directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski, The Matrix stars Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Laurence Fishburne, Hugo Weaving, Gloria Foster, Joe Pantoliano, Marcus Chong, Julian Arahanga, Matt Doran, Belinda McClory, Anthony Ray Parker, Paul Goddard, Robert Taylor, Marc Aden Gray, Ada Nicodemou, and Rowan Witt.Spoilers start at 59:30The Matrix Is Intrinsically TransThe Marcus Chong Story#MatrixGate what really happened to Tank the Operator in the original MatrixCreate your podcast today! #madeonzencastrHere's how you can learn more about Palestine and IsraelHere's how you can keep up-to-date on this genocideHere's how you can send eSIM cards to Palestinians in order to help them stay connected onlineGood Word:• Anna: Andor• Arthur: Someone Knows by Vi KeelandReach out at email2centscritic@yahoo.com if you want to recommend things to watch and read, share anecdotes, or just say hello!Be sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes or any of your preferred podcasting platforms!Follow Arthur on Twitter, Goodpods, StoryGraph, Letterboxd, and TikTok: @arthur_ant18Follow Arthur on Bluesky: @arthur-ant18Follow the podcast on Twitter: @two_centscriticFollow the podcast on Instagram: @twocentscriticpodFollow Arthur on GoodreadsCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree

This week, David and Justus dive first into John Wick's world of assassins, intrigue, and like, so much kung fu. By random chance, they have landed on the series' third installment, a film rife with memorable villains, brutal knife fights, attack dogs, motorcycles, and horses kicking dudes in the face. Is Keanu Reeves' third outing as the world's greatest wife guy/assassin the Greatest Movie Ever Made?John Wick: Chapter 3 - Parabellum (2019) is directed by Chad Stahelski and stars Keanu Reeves, Halle Berry, Ian McShane, Laurence Fishburne, and Mark DacascosMusic: “Fractals” by Kyle Casey and White Bat Audio

Tune in as 2 Cents Critic kicks off Pride Month! Yes, this month has circled back around for the year 2025, so the program will be focusing on queer art. For this first episode of June, Robyn Zabukovec (@TheFinalGirly) strides on back to her guest chair for a breakdown of Hannibal, the horror-thriller show that premiered on NBC in 2013 and spent three seasons diving into the grisly and psychological layers of the bond that grows between an FBI criminal profiler with a painfully perceptive knack for empathy and a cunning forensic psychiatrist who harbors murderous and cannibalistic secrets. Comparing this show to the underrated horror movie Sound of Violence (which Arthur and Robyn previously covered last Pride Month on 2CC), the fake TV series Clarice, and Robyn's hatred of the movies Hannibal (2001) and Red Dragon stand out as a few of the subjects on this episode.Developed by Bryan Fuller, Hannibal stars Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, Laurence Fishburne, Caroline Dhavernas, Hettienne Park, Scott Thompson, Aaron Abrams, Gillian Anderson, Raúl Esparza, Kacey Rohl, Lara Jean Chorostecki, Suzy Eddie Izzard, Gina Torres, Anna Chlumsky, Katharine Isabelle, Michael Pitt, Joe Anderson, Vladimir Jon Cubrt, Cynthia Nixon, Richard Armitage, Rutina Wesley, Tao Okamoto, Glenn Fleshler, and Fortunato Cerlino.Spoilers start at 40:45Note: Sorry for not posting an episode last week!

Director Francis Ford Coppola is widely regarded as one of the greatest directors of the twentieth century, the visionary force behind The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and dozens of other films. For decades, Coppola had sought to make a film drawing parallels between the fall of the Roman Republic and the future of the United States by retelling the Catilinarian conspiracy in modern New York, but was unable to secure studio funding. After three decades of fits and starts, Coppola ultimately spent $120 million of his own money to make the film, drawn largely from the fortune he made in the winemaking business. Released in fall of 2024, the ensemble cast features Adam Driver, Giancarlo Esposito, Nathalie Emmanuel, Aubrey Plaza, Shia LaBeouf, Jon Voight, and Laurence Fishburne. After a troubled production and a rocky reception at Cannes, where the film premiered, Coppola was forced to spend additional money to market the film, but the trailer was removed for using fabricated pull quotes. Ultimately, the film grossed only $14.3 million at the box office - barely 10% of what it cost to make. But is this film - the ultimate vanity project - worth the wait or does it collapse under the weight of its own ambitions? All roads lead to Megalopolis!

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review, where this week we take the red pill and tumble down the rabbit hole into the genre-defining cyberpunk classic that is The Matrix (1999). Prepare for slow-mo shootouts, existential dread, and the most influential sunglasses in cinema history.Written and directed by the Wachowskis, The Matrix dropped like a black-leather-clad bomb on the sci-fi landscape in 1999 and changed the game forever. Keanu Reeves stars as Neo, a disillusioned computer hacker who learns that his reality is a simulated construct designed by sentient machines to subjugate humanity. Waking up to the "real world" — a dystopian nightmare where humans are harvested for energy — Neo is recruited by the mysterious Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne) and the fiercely cool Trinity (Carrie-Anne Moss) to help fight back.The plot may be straight out of a philosophy seminar, but it's delivered with style, intensity, and more bullet-time than you can dodge.It turns out the dads still know kung fu. Revisiting The Matrix was a treat — we all had memories of our minds being blown by it the first time around, and it's still astonishing how well it holds up. While the sequels sparked debate, this original entry is tight, clever, and endlessly entertaining. A particular highlight was rediscovering how well the film balances its heady concepts with genuine emotion and momentum.We couldn't help but chuckle at the turn-of-the-millennium cool factor, but there's no denying that The Matrix still feels cool — and crucially, smart. It walks the line between popcorn blockbuster and brainy thriller with serious finesse.The Matrix remains one of the most influential films of the last 30 years. It changed action cinema, reshaped science fiction, and made philosophy sexy — all while kicking ass in slow motion. Whether you're here for the kung fu, the coding metaphors, or just to watch Agent Smith get punched in the face, there's always a reason to plug back in.

This week it's the 400th episode! The main movie feature is Until Dawn, based off the PlayStation  survival/horror video game. There is also a second movie feature, The Amateur, starring Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne. Star Wars: Andor is back for it's second season, and you can hear about the first two episodes. There's also that brutal second episode of The Last Of Us Season 2. If that wasn't enough, there's a bizarre episode of Doctor Who plus comics and more. 00:00:00 - 00:28:35 Intro & News 00:28:35 - 00:59:42 Comics 00:59:42 - 01:32:44 Doctor Who E202 01:32:44 - 02:00:22 The Last of Us E202 02:00:22 - 02:40:10 Star Wars: Andor E201-202 02:40:10 - 02:50:18 The Amateur 02:50:18 - 03:11:51 Until Dawn 03:11:51 - 03:16:51 Outro You can support the show at Patreon.com/GManFromHeck (and get access to the weekly bonus podcast) or at ko-fi.com/GManFromHeck.

This week on the I Hate Critics Movie Review Podcast, we dive into a bloody fairy tale twist, some high-stakes espionage, and a terrifying date night from hell—plus a couple of drum beats and a vampire classic for good measure. The Death of Snow White Directed by Jason Brooks – Starring Sanae Loutsis This isn't the Disney version. Snow White is on the run from her wicked stepmother and finds herself aligned with a group of seven dwarves… who are less "Hi-Ho" and more "psycho." Expect gore, survival horror, and a dark twist on a childhood favorite. Warfare Directed by Alex Garland & Ray Mendoza – Starring Will Poulter, Charles Melton, Joseph Quinn A gritty war drama where a Navy SEAL surveillance mission in Iraq goes horribly wrong. Packed with tension, chaos, and Garland's signature existential dread. Count Me In Directed by Mark Lo – Featuring Stewart Copeland, Claire Ferguson, Chad Smith, Clem Burke A celebration of rock's heartbeat—this documentary features some of music's most iconic drummers sharing what it means to keep time and create rhythm. Warning: you might be inspired to buy a drum kit afterward. The Amateur Directed by James Hawes – Starring Rami Malek, Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan After losing his wife in a terrorist attack, a CIA codebreaker goes rogue. Fueled by grief and intelligence, he sets out on a globe-spanning mission of revenge when the agency fails him. Drop Directed by Christopher Landon – Starring Meghann Fahy, Brandon Sklenar What starts as a romantic evening for a widowed mom quickly devolves into psychological torment when a mysterious figure threatens her family unless she commits murder. Tense, intimate, and full of suspense. Sinners Directed by Ryan Coogler – Starring Michael B. Jordan, Hailee Steinfeld, Miles Caton, Delroy Lindo Twin brothers return home hoping for peace, only to find that evil doesn't forget. A southern Gothic drama that mixes family trauma with spiritual reckoning and small-town menace. Classic Review: Fright Night (1985) Directed by Tom Holland – Starring William Ragsdale, Chris Sarandon, Roddy McDowall Teenage horror nerd Charley Brewster is convinced his new neighbor is a vampire. No one believes him, so he turns to a B-movie TV host for help. Campy, creepy, and a total ‘80s gem. Follow Us Online:

Will Ashton returns with another Instant Take, this time tackling The Amateur, a new action-thriller starring Rami Malek (Mr. Robot, Bohemian Rhapsody) as a surveillance tech expert turned reluctant vigilante. With a vibe that borrows from Death Wish and Jason Bourne, the film delivers slick set pieces, familiar genre beats, and a central performance that’s more restrained than revolutionary. Will explores how The Amateur flirts with deeper character nuance, particularly in its depiction of Malek’s potentially autistic-coded lead. Though the film never explicitly confirms it, the character’s traits raise questions about representation in action movies and whether the film embraces or falls back on tired tropes. Alongside Malek, the film features a solid supporting cast: Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel), Laurence Fishburne, John Bernthal, Holt McCallany (Mindhunter), and Julianne Nicholson. Some standout moments include inventive “trap-like” set pieces and moody, high-rise shootouts that pop in premium formats. But Will questions if that’s enough to elevate an otherwise middle-of-the-road revenge thriller.

Is it only April? We hope everyone has been doing well and hanging in there. Hopefully today's episode will help up lift some spirits because we've got a fun one with 1995's Die Hard With a Vengeance. Not only was Jordan surprised to learn this is actually the third film in the series, but also that it could have also co-starred Laurence Fishburne instead of Sam Jackson.  It also lets us ask a lot of important questions like who was the first Black person to save the world on film and what if Simon Gruber asked questions only about Black history?  Our book club is starting up soon! Coming up on Sunday April 27th we'll be discussing Eve Ewing's Original Sin which explores the intentional failures of America's education system when it comes to Black and Indigenous children specifically. We'll be talk about it on our IG (@whitepeoplewontsaveyoupod) and on our discord so be sure to join us on both.  We'll be back in two weeks with Academy award winner Adrian Brody in the very confusing Chinese blockbuster, Dragon Gate.

Hey everybody, welcome back to MOVIE Morning where, today, I'll be reviewing The Amateur. This is the latest studio action thriller, but this time from 20th Century Studios, starring Academy Award Winner Rami Malek. It has a pretty stacked cast that also includes Laurence Fishburne, Rachel Brosnahan (Lois Lane!), Caitriona Balfe, Holt McCallany and Jon Bernthal, the Punisher himself. I only heard of this film about a month back and immediately put it on my watchlist. I love mid-budget action thrillers like this, and I like them the best when they're about the unlikely action heroes and not the invincible John Wick's of the world. Although, of course, who doesn't love John Wick? I also liked that it looked to have more of a serious edge than these films typically have nowadays. So, what did I think of The Amateur? Find out in this review!The Amateur:Directed by: James HawesScreenplay by: Ken Nolan and Gary SpinelliBased on the novel by: Robert LittellProduced by: Rami Malek, Joel B. Michaels, Hutch Parker, Dan WilsonExecutive Producer: Jonathan HookMusic by: Volker BertelmannCinematography by: Martin RuheEditing by: Jonathan AmosCasting by: Martin WareProduction Design by: Maria DjurkovicCostume Design by: Susie HarmanCast: Rami Malek, Rachel Brosnahan, Jon Bernthal, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, Adrian Martinez, Danny Sapani, Laurence FishburneSynopsis: After his life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack, a brilliant but introverted CIA decoder takes matters into his own hands when his supervisors refuse to take action.

For this week's main podcast review, Katie Johnson, Josh Parham, Alyssa Christian, Daniel Howat, and I are reviewing and discussing "The Amateur," starring Rami Malek, Rachel Brosnahan, Caitríona Balfe, Michael Stuhlbarg, Holt McCallany, Julianne Nicholson, and Laurence Fishburne. Based on the 1981 novel of the same name by Robert Littell, which was previously adapted into a Canadian film that same year, the film tells the story of a CIA decoder who goes rogue on a global mission for justice after his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack when his superiors refuse to act, using nothing but his intellect. What did we think of it? Please tune in as we discuss the story, performances, thrills, potential for a sequel, and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

This week's episode of the Empire Podcast is jam-packed etc. etc. Bumper-sized, and so on and so forth. But it's true, perhaps this week more than ever as Chris Hewitt sits down for chats with two pairs — first, there's Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, who reunite almost 30 years after The English Patient for this week's Odyssey-sampling drama, The Return. [24:05 - 38:32 approx] Then, there's Rami Malek and Laurence Fishburne, stars of the new spy thriller The Amateur, who reflect upon where they met, their working relationship, and the influence of Event Horizon upon modern cinema. [1:03:32 - 1:17:24 approx] Finally, Ben Travis has a lovely chat with Christopher Landon, the always affable director of this week's thriller, Drop. [1:38:53 - 1:53:53 approx] Either side of those, Chris welcomes Ben and James Dyer into the podbooth, as well as our returning geek queen, Helen O'Hara, back after that small business of getting married. They talk about that, discuss the great movie weddings they'd like to attend, run their eye over the week's movie news (including a whole bunch of trailers), and review The Amateur, The Return, Holy Cow, Drop, and One To One: John & Yoko. Also, Chris unleashes a new and almost instantly unwanted impression, and the question is asked: who is the funniest person Helen knows? The answer may shock you. Enjoy.
