My 2 Cents on Disney+’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021)
What’s new, everyone? On December 3, Disney+ dropped a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid movie—not a live-action adaptation of the heavily illustrated middle grade book series by Jeff Kinney, but an animated version this time around. It focuses on the series’s first book, which is also called Diary of a Wimpy Kid, as Greg Heffley (Brady Noon, … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Disney+’s Diary of a Wimpy Kid (2021)
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Cruella | Directed by Craig Gillespie
Tune in for Arthur’s review of Cruella, the 2021 Disney prequel that wants to be Joker, The Devil Wears Prada, Maleficent, Ocean’s 11, and a sprinkling of M. Night Shyamalan’s Split for kicks. A diatribe about Paddington 2 losing its 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes, befuddlement over dog murder of more than one kind, and … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – Cruella | Directed by Craig Gillespie
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Apple TV+‘s CODA | Directed by Siân Heder
Tune in for Arthur’s take on CODA, the heartwarming family film that centers around a teenage Child of Deaf Adults (CODA) whose singing ambition clashes with her lifelong charge as the interpreter for her hearing impaired parents and brother.

My 2 Cents on Netflix’s Red Notice
What’s new, everyone? In the Netflix action-adventure heist movie Red Notice—which is apparently Netflix’s priciest and most-viewed original project to date with a $200 million budget and over 150 million views as of this writing—Interpol is issuing Red Notices, high-level warrants for the arrest of the most wanted criminals all over the globe. Crack FBI criminal … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Netflix’s Red Notice
My 2 Cents on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
What’s new, everyone? The last time that the Marvel Cinematic Universe released a movie starring an all-new superhero was 2019’s Captain Marvel. Now we’ve got Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, which debuts another superhero in the form of Shaun/Shang-Chi himself (Simu Liu, Netflix’s Kim’s Convenience). Starting out as a San Francisco parking valet, he ends … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings
2 Cents Critic Podcast – The Tomorrow War | Directed by Chris McKay (with Ryan LaPlante and Tyler Hewitt)
Tune in as Arthur teams up with special guests Ryan LaPlante and Tyler Hewitt (Dumb-Dumbs & Dragons, Garbage Town) to discuss the Amazon Original time-travel blockbuster, The Tomorrow War.

Is Chris Pratt the most boring Chris out of … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – The Tomorrow War | Directed by Chris McKay (with Ryan LaPlante and Tyler Hewitt)
My 2 Cents on Apple TV+’s Finch
What’s new, everyone? Apple TV+ has just dropped a movie that mixes WALL-E, Cast Away, Chappie, and Turner & Hooch while taking a route through the buddy road trip genre: Finch, the post-apocalyptic science-fiction flick starring Tom Hanks as eponymous inventor Finch Weinberg, who is trying to survive in a near-future world that was devastated by solar flares leaking through … Continue reading My 2 Cents on Apple TV+’s Finch
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
Tune in for Arthur’s opinions on Luca, Pixar’s 24th film (but not before he momentarily digresses at the beginning to touch on his faulty Wi-Fi that had most likely been caused by the Pacific Northwest heat wave, followed by the matter of that garbage bag Bill Cosby being released from prison). Directed by Enrico Casarosa … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – Pixar’s Luca | Directed by Enrico Casarosa
2 Cents Critic Podcast – Wonder Woman 1984 | Directed by Patty Jenkins
Tune in for Arthur’s review of Wonder Woman 1984, a movie that he desperately wanted to love to no avail. This bloated and listless DCEU misfire is directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster, 2017’s Wonder Woman) and stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Kristen Wiig as Barbara Minerva/Cheetah, and Pedro … Continue reading 2 Cents Critic Podcast – Wonder Woman 1984 | Directed by Patty Jenkins
