Episode notes
Fun But Convoluted Accountant 2
- Sean and Amanda found "The Accountant 2" convoluted but fun and tried to piece its plot afterward.
- Jon Bernthal's bro-ing scenes and Ben Affleck's presence boosted their enjoyment despite the confusing story.
Havoc's Standout Nightclub Scene
- Gareth Evans' "Havoc" is largely lackluster except for a thrilling extended nightclub fight scene.
- This standout scene carries the film and showcases Evans' distinct action style and love for chaotic choreography.
Straightforward but Dull Working Man
- "A Working Man" is a straightforward but uninspired Jason Statham revenge film heavily involving human trafficking.
- It lacks twists and feels solid but dull, missing emotional depth or compelling complexity.
