Tune in as Pride Month comes to a close on 2CC! It’s been splendid to have this space be dedicated to queer art throughout this past June of 2025. Now we shall wrap that up by bringing back Connor Kujawinski (@connorkuj [https://twitter.com/connorkuj?s=21]) for a breakdown of Psycho Beach Party, the 2000 comedy-horror beach movie spoof that follows a whirlwind of surfing, dissociative identity disorder, murder, and other shenanigans over in 1962-set Malibu. Connor’s experience with drive-in theaters, clocking his rating for Split, reading Psycho Beach Party through a disability lens, and the polarized responses that its ending elicits from the hosts stand out as a few of the topics for this episode.



Directed by Robert Lee King, Psycho Beach Party stars Lauren Ambrose, Thomas Gibson, Nicholas Brendon, Danni Wheeler, Kimberley Davies, Matt Keeslar, Charles Busch, Beth Broderick, Amy Adams, Kathleen Robertson, Nick Cornish, Andrew Levitas, Channon Roe, Jenica Bergere, Nathan Bexton, Buddy Quaid, and Nicholas D’Agosto.

#213 – Psycho Beach Party | Directed by Robert Lee King (with Connor Kujawinski)

Tune in as Pride Month continues for its third week on 2CC! Katrina (@katrinaslibrary [https://www.tiktok.com/@katrinaslibrary?_t=ZP-8xENm678JBu&_r=1]) is jumping onboard for a review and recap of Fake Dates and Mooncakes, the 2023 YA fake-dating rom-com novel by Sher Lee that follows an aspiring teenage chef who gets caught up in a fake-dating scheme with a rich crush, all while preparing for a mooncake contest that could help him save his aunt’s Singaporean Chinese takeout place. Comparing this book to the tropes of k-dramas, the hatability of Theo’s wealthy and distant father, and appreciation for the romantic fun and tension of the fake-dating trope comprise a few of the talking points in this episode.



TW: grief, parental death (in the past), parental neglect, classism, cancer (in the past), car accident (in the past), alcoholism (in the past), alcohol, dementia, and racism

﻿#212 – Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee (with Katrina of Katrina’s Library)

Tune in as Pride Month rolls onward for its second week on 2CC! Anna (@banananna024 [https://twitter.com/banananna024?s=21]/@formergleek [https://twitter.com/formergleek?s=21]) is jumping back on the show for a deep dive into The Matrix, the 1999 sci-fi action movie about a computer hacker who’s bestowed with a quest to free humankind from the simulated reality in which they’ve all been imprisoned. 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.

#211 – The Matrix | Directed by Lana and Lilly Wachowski (with Anna)

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.

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.

#205 – Prime Video's Wilderness | Created by Marnie Dickens (with Sam Frontera and Shelby Schwieterman of The Rom Complex)

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024 [https://twitter.com/banananna024?s=21]/@formergleek [https://twitter.com/formergleek?s=21]) teams back up with Arthur to review and recap Devs, the 2020 sci-fi techno-thriller miniseries about the mysterious and murderous machinations of a quantum computing company. 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.
