2 Cents Critic ·

2021/07/07

Tune in for Arthur’s opinions on Luca, Pixar’s 24th film (but not before he momentarily digresses at the beginning to touch on his faulty Wi-Fi that had most likely been caused by the Pacific Northwest heat wave, followed by the matter of that garbage bag Bill Cosby being released from prison).

2021/05/05

Tune in for Arthur’s opinions on RWBY: Volume 8, the American anime web series by media giant Rooster Teeth. Hop on over to the blog if you’re up for breakdowns on all fourteen episodes of Volume 8. There, you’ll find salty rants on authoritarians who illogically pursue genocide, the show completely wasting the combat-ready treasure that is Penny Polendina, plot holes big enough to maneuver a flying whale through them, half-baked evacuation plans that misunderstand to the nth degree what it means to

Tune in for Arthur's two cents on A Court of Silver Flames by Sarah J. Maas. The latest installment in her A Court of Thorns and Roses series may not boast nearly as much plot meat as the author's previous books, but it compensates with a fleshed-out personal journey of self-growth and self-healing for Nesta Archeron and a sizzling romance between her and Cassian.
