About this episode
“I want real kids fighting each other!” - Chris, on the flashbacks On this week’s episode, we’re chatting about the nowhere-near-as-good-as-its-sequel assassin film, The Accountant. Couldn’t we have done this whole thing without all the flashbacks to them as kids? Did we need the Treasury Department cold on the Accountant’s trail the whole movie? Didn’t everyone want to yell, ‘No Touching,’ whenever we see Jeffrey Tambor’s character in prison? And how creepy is it that Ben draws faces on all those melons he’s going to shoot? PLUS: Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber? Really? The Accountant stars Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jeffrey Tambor, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, and Jon Bernthal as Brax; directed by Gavin O’Connor.
