Episode Synopsis

Tune in as Shawn Murphy (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies!) hops back into his guest seat for a discussion on Nightcrawler, the 2014 neo-noir crime thriller about a stringer who roams Los Angeles after nightfall with a camcorder in hand and twists the city into his own morbid landscape of news fodder. The ridiculousness of the Oscars snubbing Jake Gyllenhaal for this career-defining performance, appreciation for nepo babies who acknowledge their privilege, the importance of knowing how to haggle, and the effectively bizarre score comprise some of the topics for this episode.Directed by Dan Gilroy, Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal, Rene Russo, Riz Ahmed, Bill Paxton, Kevin Rahm, Michael Hyatt, Price Carson, Ann Cusack, Carolyn Gilroy, Marco Rodriguez, and Michael Papajohn.Spoilers start at 37:15Create 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:• Shawn: Together, Weapons, and Alien: Earth• Arthur: Only Lovers Left AliveReach 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
