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.

1 Recommendations

Tune in as Paul Jordan and Pablo Escobar (Scared Gay!) hang out on 2CC to discuss The Talented Mr. Ripley, the 1999 film adaptation of the Patricia Highsmith novel of the same name. 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.

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.
