Tune in as James Willey (Movie Good or Movie Bad?) joins the podcast for a discussion on Upgrade, the 2018 cyberpunk action thriller about an auto mechanic's vengeful quest to uncover who murdered his wife and left him paralyzed in the process—a quest that he pursues with the help of a chip implant that can take over a human's motor functions. The references that this movie may very well be dropping to Tesla and Elon Musk, the dark comedy that this manages to slip into its tale, and the trope of “curing” disabilities in sci-fi and fantasy comprise some of the topics on this episode.Written and directed by Leigh Whannell, Upgrade stars Logan Marshall-Green, Simon Maiden, Betty Gabriel, Harrison Gilbertson, Benedict Hardie, Melanie Vallejo, Linda Cropper, Richard Cawthorne, Christoper Kirby, Clayton Jacobson, and Kai Bradley.Spoilers start at 24:25Create 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:• James: Clipse - So Be It (Official Music Video)• Arthur: Heavenly CreaturesReach 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

The energy of this movie (as well as the Mark Millar/J.G. Jones comic book series that it's based on) getting so damn aggro, all the time this spends hammering home its themes of fate and faith, the Fast & Furious franchise being part of the screenwriters' credits, and James McAvoy and Daniel Craig's American accents emerge as a few of the subjects on this episode.Directed by Timur Bekmambetov, Wanted stars James McAvoy, Angelina Jolie, Morgan Freeman, Terence Stamp, Thomas Kretschmann, Common, Kristen Hager, Marc Warren, David O'Hara, Dato Bakhtadze, Konstantin Khabenskiy, Chris Pratt, and Lorna Scott.Spoilers start at 29:15Create 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:• Betsy: Shoot ‘Em Up, Salt, Equilibrium, and Cold Pursuit• Arthur: A Beautiful Way to Die by Eleni KyriacouReach 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

Tune in as Marie Nicola (Alt.Pop.Repeat) pops back onto 2CC for a breakdown of Shiki, the 2010 horror anime series about a secluded and quiet village that becomes plagued by what initially seems like a fast-moving and ruthless anemia epidemic, but actually turns out to be a growing clan of vampires. The difference between cinema and animation from Western and Eastern regions, the deep pit of moral ambiguity and nihilism that Shiki plunges itself into, the tragic arc of Sunako, and vampirism often being an experience that's forced onto its victims land as a few of the talking points on this episode.Created by Fuyumi Ono and Ryu Fujisaki, Shiki stars:• Japanese cast:Tōru Ōkawa, Haruka Tomatsu, Kazuyuki Okitsu, Aoi Yūki, Nobuhiko Okamoto, Wataru Takagi, Kōki Uchiyama, Haruka Nagashima, Keiko Kawakami, Nozomi Sasaki, Gackt, Ari Orikasa, Shin'ya Takahashi, Miki Itô, Kôji Ishii, and Ken'ichirô Matsuda.• English cast:David Wald, Tia Ballard, John Burgmeier, Cherami Leigh, Chris Burnett, Ian Sinclair, Jerry Jewell, Alexis Tipton, Luci Christian, Colleen Clinkenbeard, J.

Today we are are talking about chapter 7 of the Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas.
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!
