#217 – A Quiet Place | Directed by John Krasinski (with Anna)

Tune in as Anna (@banananna024/@formergleek) circles back around to the show for a breakdown of A Quiet Place, the 2018 horror movie about a family’s quest to survive a post-apocalyptic world in which monsters use their acute sense of hearing to hunt down their prey. Pushing back against the pro-gun reading of this movie, asking questions about its many plot and worldbuilding holes, John Krasinski’s career arc from comedy to horror and action, and the dangers of having a baby in such a life-threatening environment comprise a few of the subjects in this episode.Directed by John Krasinski, A Quiet Place stars Krasinski, Emily Blunt, Millicent Simmonds, Noah Jupe, Cade Woodward, Leon Russom, and Rhoda Pell.Spoilers start at 52:30Spoilers for A Quiet Place Part II between 01:12:15 and 01:13:52John Krasinski Breaks Down A Quiet Place's Lantern Scene | Notes on a Scene | Vanity FairThe Silently Regressive Politics of “A Quiet Place” by Richard Brody | The New YorkerCreate 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:• Arthur: Breaking Bad• Anna: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant MayhemReach 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
