#89 - Netflix’s Wednesday | Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (with Kailey)
Tune in as Arthur’s buddy Kailey hangs out on 2CC for a deep dive into Wednesday, the 2022 Netflix series that centers around Wednesday Addams—yes, the very same Wednesday of the morbidly eccentric Addams Family. Plenty of topics are discussed here, including a debate over the Love Triangle trope, the show‘s deliciously ruthless critique of colonialism and whitewashing, a supernatural plot twist in Riverdale that causes Arthur’s brain to momentarily glitch out, and the worrisome COVID protocol on the set of Wednesday.
Created by Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (Smallville), Wednesday stars Jenna Ortega, Gwendoline Christie, Riki Lindhome, Jamie McShane, Hunter Doohan, Percy Hynes White, Emma Myers, Joy Sunday, Georgie Farmer, Moosa Mostafa, Naomi J. Ogawa, Christina Ricci, Victor Dorobantu, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, Iman Marson, Tommie Earl Jenkins, Fred Armisen, Isaac Ordonez, and George Burcea.
Spoilers start at 37:50
Note: Kailey and I recorded this back in December, so it isn’t up-to-date in regard to all the speculation over whether or not Season 2 of Wednesday would move over to Prime Video. In any case, this isn’t happening, since Netflix has officially renewed the show for another season.
Good Word:
• Kailey: Anything Goes with Emma Chamberlain
• Arthur: Disney+‘s Andor

#90 - Top 10 Movies of 2022 (with Connor Kujawinski)
Tune in as Arthur welcomes his filmmaker friend Connor Kujawinski to the show for a presentation of their top ten movies of 2022. A few of the topics that they cover include a side chat about Call Me by Your Name, their shared bewilderment over the Academy not even shortlisting Michael Giacchino’s splendid score for The Batman, the social commentary that’s woven into their top films of the year, and the riveting performances given by stars like Rachel Sennott and Steven Yeun.
SPOILER WARNING: Spoilers will be discussed for some of the movies in this podcast, particularly Bodies Bodies Bodies, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, and Nope.
Note: this podcast was recorded before the Oscar nominations had been announced, so the Oscar talk isn’t up-to-date.
Good Word:
• Connor: HBO Max’s The White Lotus
• Arthur: The Menu
