#143 - Push | Directed by Paul McGuigan (with Sharai Bohannon of A Nightmare on Fierce Street and Blerdy Massacre)

2 Cents Critic

Tune in as Sharai Bohannon (A Nightmare on Fierce Street, Blerdy Massacre) returns to 2CC for a breakdown of Push, the 2009 sci-fi action movie that borrows quite a bit of energy from the X-Men. Nitpicking the inconsistencies of the psychic powers in this flick, reminding everyone that Shiv Roy isn’t meant to be a girlboss figure, running through Zack Snyder’s filmography, and bemoaning celebrity plantation weddings comprise a few of the topics that Arthur and Sharai cover on this episode.

Directed by Paul McGuigan, Push stars Chris Evans, Dakota Fanning, Camilla Belle, Djimon Hounsou, Cliff Curtis, Ming-Na Wen, Nate Mooney, Li Xiaolu, Maggie Siff, Corey Stoll, Scott Michael Campbell, Neil Jackson, Joel Gretsch, Colin Ford, Hal Yamanouchi, Chi Kwan Fung, Jacky Heung, and Paul Che Biu-law.
