#268 – The Hurricane Blonde by Halley Sutton (with Hannah, Rebecca, and Sarah of Can I Spoil Something?)

Tune in as Hannah, Rebecca, and Sarah (Can I Spoil Something?) stride back to the podcast for a chance to unpack The Hurricane Blonde, the 2023 neo-noir thriller novel by Halley Sutton about a former child star who gets pulled into a mystery surrounding the drowning of an actress who looks eerily similar to her sister—the sister whose star had been rising up in Hollywood before a strangulation cut her life short two decades ago. Salma being such a messy diva, the capitalistic greed of the true crime industry, gross and misogynistic filmmakers like Roman Polanski and Quentin Tarantino, and how long it takes to strangle someone to death comprise some parts of the chatter in this episode.TW: death, murder, misogyny, pedophilia (in the past), rape (in the past), grief, alcoholism, drug abuse, infidelity (in the past), violence, suicide (in the past), eating disorder, fatphobia, and mention of miscarriage (in the past)Spoilers start at 20:35Create 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:• Sarah: Attack on Titan• Rebecca: Fluorescence by Maisey Peters• Hannah: Love Island (the US version, which she’s been watching)• Arthur: Off CampusReach 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
