Tune in as Fake-Dating February kicks off on 2CC in honor of the hijinks and machinations that turn artificial love into authentic love! For this first podcast of the month, Arthur’s buddy Anna (@banananna024 [https://twitter.com/banananna024?s=21]/@formergleek [https://twitter.com/formergleek?s=21]) is circling back around for a review and recap of To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, the 2018 Netflix rom-com whose fake-dating scheme that Lara Jean Song Covey and Peter Kavinsky cook up is based on the 2014 YA romance novel of the same name by Jenny Han. The hygienic importance of not wearing shoes in the house, the shaky state of teen media that can be found on streaming and on Netflix specifically, Arthur’s rant against Jake Ryan from Sixteen Candles, and cheering for Lana Condor and Noah Centineo to have bigger careers comprise just some of the subjects for this episode.



Directed by Susan Johnson, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before stars Lana Condor, Noah Centineo, Israel Broussard, Madeleine Arthur, Janel Parrish, Anna Cathcart, Emilija Baranac, John Corbett, Trezzo Mahoro, and Andrew Bachelor.

#194 – Netflix’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before | Directed by Susan Johnson (with Anna)

Tune in as Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts [https://open.spotify.com/show/0nQbmTs0uQ6TBtG1Q64VEd?si=SE-K8d6iR-CXoqPCLE37zA]) slides back into his guest seat for a breakdown of Virtuosity, the 1995 sci-fi action thriller that sends a prisoner with a police officer background on a mission to stop a serial killer who’s managed to escape his birthplace of virtual reality and is now terrorizing the real world. 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.



Directed by Brett Leonard, Virtuosity stars Denzel Washington, Russell Crowe, Kelly Lynch, Stephen Spinella, William Forsythe, Louise Fletcher, William Fichtner, Costas Mandylor, Kevin J. O’Connor, Kaley Cuoco, Christopher Murray, and Heidi Schanz.

Reading an ostensibly nonfiction book about UAPs as science-fiction, the importance of portraying mental health sensitively, existential dread over the state of our world, and the misogyny festering within nice guys and “feminist” men comprise just a few of the topics for this episode.

Apple TV+ doing a horrible job at promoting its media, creeps and perverts in Hollywood, and Vanessa’s story about having met Mark Duplass stand out as some of the topics for this episode.

#190 – Top 10 TV Shows of 2024 (with Vanessa Ondi of Best Week Ever Podcast)

Tune in as Brett Salter (Irish Salt [https://open.spotify.com/show/4Kahw5WsPBBXgSp6HoTrN4?si=oKl9fn5JQNWrLsizUpyV3Q]) 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.

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.

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

Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts [https://open.spotify.com/show/0nQbmTs0uQ6TBtG1Q64VEd?si=2fzV_SkWSzO5nH024Y_HXg]) 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

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

Tune in as the program keeps the holiday season rolling onward for the second week of December! This time around, filmmaker friend Robyn Zabukovec (https://twitter.com/thefinalgirly?s=21) 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.

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

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 [https://open.spotify.com/show/6fLcKIHFrYBwMqhFryFMM6?si=Bn9p6MOHQpmARsAHDnQSYg]) 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.



Spoilers start at 37:40
