#261 – Dream Lover | Directed by Nicholas Kazan (with Rolo Tony of These Guys Got Juice)

Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony and These Guys Got Juice) hops back onto the program for a review and recap of Dream Lover, the 1994 erotic thriller about a recent divorcee who jumps fast into another relationship with an alluring woman, only to find that there may be more to her than it seems at the outset. Comparing this to Gone Girl and You, James Spader being an expert at sleaziness, frustrations with how this thriller (and Tenet) portrays domestic abuse, and those goddamn carnival dream sequences stand out as some of the discussion material for this episode.Written and directed by Nicholas Kazan, Dream Lover stars James Spader, Mädchen Amick, Larry Miller, Fredric Lehne, Bess Armstrong, Kathleen York, Kate Williamson, Tom Lillard, William Shockley, Clyde Kusatsu, Alexander Folk, and Scott Coffey.Spoilers start at 35:30Dream Lover (1993), or, Probably the Single Most Misogynist Film I’ve Ever SeenCreate 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:• Rolo Tony: The Shape of Things• Arthur: Headlights by CJ LeedeReach 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
