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 [https://twitter.com/thefinalgirly?s=21]) strides on back to her guest chair for a breakdown of Hannibal, the psychological 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.

#210 – Hannibal | Developed by Bryan Fuller (with Robyn Zabukovec)

Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony [https://twitter.com/pooroldrolotony?s=21]) hops aboard the podcast to review and recap The Last Supper, the 1995 satirical black comedy movie about a friend group of grad school students who launch a scheme to kill off conservatives by inviting them over for the last supper they’ll ever have. The surprisingly cozy atmosphere wrapped around this film, the politeness and hypocrisy of liberals, the real-life vigilante Phoenix Jones, and Cameron Diaz’s knack for comedy with a grim and off-kilter edge to it comprise a few of the subjects for this episode.



Directed by Stacy Title, The Last Supper stars Cameron Diaz, Courtney B. Vance, Ron Eldard, Annabeth Gish, Jonathan Penner, Ron Perlman, Nora Dunn, Bill Paxton, Jason Alexander, Charles Durning, Bryn Erin, Mark Harmon, Rachel Chagall, Nicholas Sadler, Warren Hutcherson, Dan Rosen, Pamela Gien, and Elisabeth Moss.

#209 – The Last Supper | Directed by Stacy Title (with Rolo Tony)

Tune in as Seth Vargas (Movie Friends [https://open.spotify.com/show/2O5TcFC9k4VSyxBnb99tap?si=yeB98_eVQHSZD6_lzeOSww]) returns to the program to discuss Videodrome, the 1983 sci-fi body horror film about a TV station president whose discovery of an enigmatic and pornographic video broadcast drags his mind and his flesh down a spiral of terror. The David Cronenberg movie that Seth saw as a wee little child with his mom, recommendations for 1997’s Hercules and the Black Mirror episode “Common People,” and the effect that horror and violent media can have on their audience end up being a few of the talking points for this episode.



Written and directed by David Cronenberg, Videodrome stars James Woods, Debbie Harry, Sonja Smits, Peter Dvorsky, Leslie Carlson, Jack Creley, Lynne Gorman, Julie Khaner, Reiner Schwarz, and David Bolt.

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024 [https://twitter.com/banananna024?s=21]/@formergleek [https://twitter.com/formergleek?s=21]) jumps back into their guest chair for a breakdown of Drive, the 2011 neo-noir crime thriller film about an L.A. stunt driver who moonlights as a getaway driver for criminals. Ryan Gosling’s auramaxxing, what qualifies as neo-noir, the strange misogyny that’s given off by issues like NWR’s original goal of casting a porn star as Blanche, and the horrible-person-to-regular-person ratio in Baby Driver comprise some of the talking points for this episode.



Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, Drive stars Ryan Gosling, Carey Mulligan, Bryan Cranston, Albert Brooks, Oscar Isaac, Ron Perlman, Christina Hendricks, Kaden Leos, James Biberi, Jeff Wolfe, and Russ Tamblyn.

Leede that follows a young woman who's harboring grim and bloodthirsty urges while playing an ice princess at a certain Californian theme park and laying an eye on her best friend’s intriguing brother. Why people might read splatterpunk books, comparing Maeve a little to Dexter Morgan, maintaining the poop boundaries, and the misconception that addictions create abusive and bigoted behavior comprise a few of the topics on this episode.

Tune in as Sam Frontera and Shelby Schwieterman (The Rom Complex [https://open.spotify.com/show/6nDXsvWzrmpHra86czxp4U?si=LRWQe4q5RReKNk6Vl7DdPg]) dive back into another collaboration with 2CC for a review and recap of Wilderness, the Prime Video thriller miniseries about a scorned woman’s revenge plan against her dickweasel husband. Drawing comparisons between this show and Gone Girl, the potential that this could have had to take on a more darkly comedic tone, and the knack that Oliver Jackson-Cohen has for playing utter assholes make up a few of the topics that the hosts touch on during this episode.



Created by Marnie Dickens, Wilderness stars Jenna Coleman, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Ashley Benson, Eric Balfour, Claire Rushbrook, Talia Balsam, Morgana Van Peebles, Marsha Stephanie Blake, and Jonathan Keltz.

Anna’s mini-review of Civil War, wishing that Alex Garland could grow a political spine, the choice to cast Cailee Spaeny as a teenage cis boy, and how this show deals with weighty themes like the multiverse and free will versus determinism comprise some of the talking points for this episode.



Created by Alex Garland, Devs stars Sonoya Mizuno, Nick Offerman, Alison Pill, Jin Ha, Zach Grenier, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Cailee Spaeny, Karl Glusman, and Brian d’Arcy James.

#204 – Devs | Created by Alex Garland (with Anna)

Tune in as Dustin Holden (The Rewatch Recap [https://open.spotify.com/show/5t7akUU8Mu4m52lWkY4u1I?si=SIhmxPIaQn-Mqhx0XvecPg]) returns to 2CC for a breakdown of How to Train Your Dragon, the 2010 animated fantasy movie about the bond that grows between a teenage Viking boy and a dragon. The creatures and their mannerisms that inspired Toothless’s design, worries over the upcoming live-action reboot of HTTYD, the aversion to referring to wild animals that you hunt as “game,” and the physical aspect of voice acting comprise a few of the subjects that this episode dives into.



Directed by Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois, How to Train Your Dragon stars Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, America Ferrera, Craig Ferguson, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, T.J. Miller, and Kristen Wiig.

#202 – Magic | Directed by Richard Attenborough (with Guy Bradford of Jesters of Ravenloft: A D&D Podcast)

Tune in as some good old buddies of 2 Cents Critic return to the program in honor of it turning four years old! Glad to have Andy (Fat Dude Digs Flicks Movie Podcasts [https://open.spotify.com/show/0nQbmTs0uQ6TBtG1Q64VEd?si=FdN09J1JRBy-bQhNjEOxjQ]), Anna (@banananna024 [https://twitter.com/banananna024?s=21]/@formergleek [https://twitter.com/formergleek?s=21]), Jessica (Opinionated Lushes [https://open.spotify.com/show/5z9wbkmPgruCrMiptAYTtN?si=H19IegqGQZux7pg_nCJ0JQ]), Marie Nicola (Alt.Pop.Repeat [https://open.spotify.com/show/0tgdntYYcKofvb8AJgzKb2?si=d0CLb9vgRvebkM0TALRCCw]), and Robert “Stew” Stewart (Stew World Order [https://open.spotify.com/show/6fLcKIHFrYBwMqhFryFMM6?si=JcP_vmprR-eWwPuAXjSP5A]) hopping back into their guest seats. It really has been a journey for this show to last so long with all of its book, movie, and TV reviews and recaps. Here’s to many more of those to come down the line! All the gratitude goes out to the listeners and the past guests who’ve been a part of this ride and boosting it forward. And now, to celebrate that, there shall be some trivia gaming and banter unfolding on this episode, which will touch on topics like the power of random guessing, wondering if Anna could host a podcast, the mission to Trap-pill people, ambivalence over Dirty Dancing, and a VeggieTales parody of The Lord of the Rings that manages to slip in an Elvis bit.
