Tune in as Guy Bradford returns to 2CC for a review and recap of the timey-wimey and multiversal shenanigans in Disney+’s Loki, Season 2. The now-ended SAG-AFTRA strike, the MCU recycling its own tropes, the sadistic and horny range of Miss Minutes, and the pains of mixing up TV episodes comprise just a few of the topics that the hosts gab about. Head written by Eric Martin, Loki, Season 2 stars Tom Hiddleston, Sophia Di Martino, Owen Wilson, Ke Huy Quan, Wunmi Mosaku, Eugene Cordero, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Rafael Casal, Jonathan Majors, Tara Strong, Kate Dickie, Liz Carr, Neil Ellice, and Richard Dixon.

Tune in as Seth Vargas (Movie Friends) teams up with Arthur to break down As We See It, the 2022 Prime Video series that revolves around a trio of autistic mid-20s roommates who are trying to figure out their lives and gain independence. Talking points that the hosts bring up on this episode include the series being cringey in a good way, the uneven arc of Aaron Eckhart’s career, and doing away with unnecessary social customs like the one where people say “can I ask you a question?” before asking the question itself. Created by Jason Katims, As We See It stars Rick Glassman, Albert Rutecki, Sue Ann Pien, Sosie Bacon, Chris Pang, Joe Mantegna, Délé Ogundiran, Vella Lovell, Tal Anderson, Alyssa Jirrels, Adan James Carrillo, Casey Mills, David Futernick, and Andrew Duff.

Tune in as Arthur’s buddy Robyn Zabukovec jumps onboard to discuss the 1999 high school rom-com She’s All That. M.

Tune in as Sean (Review It Yourself) jumps into the guest chair for a review and recap of X-Men: First Class, the 2011 soft reboot (until it got retconned by 2014’s X-Men: Days of Future Past) of the X-Men superhero film franchise. A few of the talking points that Arthur and Sean cover are mutation flirtation, James McAvoy donning some hair extensions, the movie completely wasting Darwin and his versatile ability, and the development that goes into Charles and Erik’s character arcs and their clashing outlooks.

Tune in as pod buddy Shawn Murphy (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast) comes back to the program for a breakdown of The Voyeurs, the 2021 Prime Video erotic thriller.

Tune in as Arthur’s buddy Thomas hangs out with him to discuss the anxiety- and cat-filled 2000 comedy Meet the Parents. Cringe humor that (mostly) works, Hollywood figures like Steven Spielberg and Jim Carrey having once been attached to this movie, and the little-known fact that it’s actually a reboot make up a few of the subjects that the hosts discuss. Directed by Jay Roach, Meet the Parents stars Ben Stiller, Robert De Niro, Teri Polo, Blythe Danner, Owen Wilson, Nicole DeHuff, Jon Abrahams, James Rebhorn, Tom McCarthy, Phyllis George, Kali Rocha, Bernie Sheredy, Judah Friedlander, Peter Bartlett, Russell Hornsby, Cole Hawkins, and Spencer Breslin.

Tune in as Christy (X Knows All) comes back to 2CC for a review and recap of The Wedding Singer, the 1998 Adam Sandler/Drew Barrymore rom-com. The feeling of movie nostalgia, the gross and outdated jokes that older comedies were willing to dish out, and the bizarrely horny levels that video game commercials from years and years ago could reach are just a few of the topics that the hosts chat about. Directed by Frank Coraci, The Wedding Singer stars Adam Sandler, Drew Barrymore, Christine Taylor, Allen Covert, Matthew Glave, Ellen Albertini Dow, Angela Featherstone, Alexis Arquette, Christina Pickles, Jodi Thelen, Frank Sivero, Billy Idol, Kevin Nealon, Steve Buscemi, and Jon Lovitz.

Tune in as return guest Dustin Holden (Dustin Can Read & Watch, The Rewatch Recap) hops back onto the podcast to cover How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, the 2003 Kate Hudson/Matthew McConaughey rom-com that’s full of deception, Knicks games, and insufferable baby talk. Movie theater etiquette, a debate about Matthew McConaughey’s hotness, and whether or not this rom-com needs a reboot make up a few of the subjects that Arthur and Dustin chat about here. Directed by Donald Petrie, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days stars Kate Hudson, Matthew McConaughey, Kathryn Hahn, Annie Parisse, Adam Goldberg, Thomas Lennon, Michael Michele, Shalom Harlow, Robert Klein, Bebe Neuwirth, Celia Weston, James Murtaugh, Liliane Montevecchi, and Marvin Hamlisch.

Discussing the varying facets of all the queer-coding and homoerotic tension, unpacking the layers of Tom’s sociopathy, and expressing distaste for Gwyneth Paltrow as a person (not as an actor, though, because she’s got true talent there) are just a few of the topics that get coverage here. Written and directed by Anthony Minghella, The Talented Mr. Ripley stars Matt Damon, Jude Law, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cate Blanchett, Jack Davenport, Philip Seymour Hoffman, James Rebhorn, Sergio Rubini, Philip Baker Hall, and Celia Weston.
