#272 – The Voices | Directed by Marjane Satrapi (with Rolo Tony of These Guys Got Juice)

Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony and These Guys Got Juice) jumps back onto the podcast to examine The Voices, the 2014 movie that uses black comedy, thriller, and horror to tell the tale of a plumbing fixtures factory worker whose hallucinations direct him down a path of chatting with his talking pets and wrestling with his murderous side. Rooting for Ryan Reynolds to pick bold and interesting roles, putting a dark twist on the Talking Animals trope, the psychology of serial killers, and the misogynistic violence that lurks within the outwardly pleasant Nice Guy archetype stand out as some of the topics for this episode.Directed by Marjane Satrapi, The Voices stars Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick, Gemma Arterton, Ella Smith, Jacki Weaver, Paul Chahidi, Stanley Townsend, Adi Shankar, Sam Spruell, Valerie Koch, and Paul Brightwell.Spoilers start at 29:45Create 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: Mississippi Grind• Arthur: Ruby SparksReach 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 GoodreadsFollow Arthur’s Bookstagram: @arthurs.book.nookCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
