Episode Synopsis

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) jumps back onto the podcast for a review and recap of Sweetpea, the 2024 darkly comedic thriller TV show about a newspaper assistant who is enduring too many trials, including the return of a bully from school, and gets pushed to the point of unleashing those bloodthirsty desires that have been lurking underneath her meek appearance. Anna’s recent MCU watches, comparing Rhiannon Lewis to Joe Goldberg and Dexter Morgan, unreliable narrators like Katniss Everdeen, and the long-lasting and traumatic impact of bullying comprise a few of the talking points for this episode. Created by Kirstie Swain, Sweetpea stars Ella Purnell, Nicôle Lecky, Jon Pointing, Calam Lynch, Jeremy Swift, Dustin Demri-Burns, Leah Harvey, Camille Coduri, Dino Kelly, Nitin Ganatra, Ingrid Oliver, Alexandra Dowling, David Bark-Jones, Luke McGibney, and James Craze.Spoilers start at 24:00Create 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:• Anna: Hacks• Arthur: The Hunting WivesReach out at [email protected] 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
