#275 – Dead Calm | Directed by Phillip Noyce (with Rolo Tony of These Guys Got Juice and Unsourced Wall Radio)

Tune in as Rolo Tony (@PoorOldRoloTony, These Guys Got Juice, and Unsourced Wall Radio) returns to the program to cover Dead Calm, the 1989 thriller about an Australian couple who tries to move past a devastating loss together by sailing on a yacht through the Pacific Ocean, which results in them running into danger after saving a lone man from a sinking schooner. George Miller’s involvement as a ghost director, Hughie being such a menacing creep, that over-the-top ending and how it might have benefitted from some adjustments, and anti-small dog propaganda turn out to be a few of the topics for this episode.Directed by Phillip Noyce, Dead Calm stars Nicole Kidman, Sam Neill, Billy Zane, Rod Mullinar, Lisa Collins, Paula Hudson-Brinkley, Sharon Cook, and Malinda Rutter.Spoilers start at 35:55Create 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:• Both Rolo Tony and Arthur: Predators (2025)Reach 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.nookFollow Arthur’s movie and TV Instagram: @arthurswatchesCheck out 2 Cents Critic Linktree
