This week, it's tax time! We crunch the numbers and list a spare bedroom as a home office to boost our returns with the autism-as-a-superpower action thriller The Accountant (2016), directed by Gavin O'Connor, starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons and Jon Bernthal, along with a murderer's row of character actors in a movie that plays on American cable TV all the time. This is a big time Dumb Guy Movie, and your intrepid hosts have mixed opinions on how much it worked for them, but it makes for lively discussion in our longest show to date.

Before we start in on this week's movie however, we go deep and spoiler-y on Scream VI (now streaming on Paramount+), and Justin gives his thesis on Mission: Impossible 2 being perhaps the most important pop culture event of the 21st century.

The Accountant is not currently available for streaming in Canada at the time of publication, though you can buy it on DVD for $6 at Sunrise Records.

We'll be back next week with Affleck in the director's chair as we discuss Gone Baby Gone.

With a career best turn from Kendrick and a solid message, Alice, Darling is a tough but ultimately hopeful watch.

SCOTT PILGRIM TAKES OFF! Plus a review of Batman Failsafe - 130.2

On today's show, we do a HARD PIVET away from the Turtle-related festivities of the last episode & instead veer into the world of sparkly vamps!
That's right, we begin our journey through the Twilight Saga by discussing the film that started it all, 2008's 'TWILIGHT' (SPOILERS), as voted by *YOU*, the listener!

We also discuss the Netflix series 'Love on the Spectrum (U.S.)', 'Kodachrome' (2017 Netflix film), graduation cap artwork, barefoot villains, & some nonsense things that we're oddly conservative about!

Originally by Cyndi Lauper
Writtern by Tom Kelly, Billy Steinberg

True Colors

"Another Simple Favor" had its world premiere at the 2025 SXSW Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its sharp writing, juicy performances, and delicious costume design. Continuing the story from 2018's "A Simple Favor,"director Paul Feig and stars Anna Kendrick, Blake Lively, Andrew Rannells, and Henry Golding, all returned, along with new faces and a new setting in Capri Italy for the Amazon Prime Video release. The result is a bigger movie in nearly every regard, with plenty of twists and turns in Stephanie and Emily's relationship. Feig was kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now available to stream on Amazon Prime Video. Thank you, and enjoy!
