**🎬 The Popcorn Pundits – Week 79: *The Accountant 2* & *Until Dawn***
This week, the Pundits crunch some numbers and scream into the void. Peter and James tackle high-functioning trauma in tailored suits while Nikky tries to survive a cabin full of emotionally unstable teenagers. It’s murder, mayhem, spreadsheets, and jump scares—so basically, just another Thursday.

đź§® **The Accountant 2**
📽 *Director:* Gavin O’Connor
🎠*Starring:* Ben Affleck (still quietly terrifying), Jon Bernthal (loudly terrifying), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (the only adult in the room)
🏢 *Production:* Warner Bros. / Proximity Media
🔞 *Rated:* R for violence, financial fraud, and brotherly brawls
**What’s the maths on this one?**
Christian Wolff is back and still solving crimes with the help of extreme numeracy and even more extreme violence. He’s got a ledger in one hand and a Glock in the other. Bernthal’s back too, probably punching through walls and family therapy sessions.
**Expect:**
- A full-blown conspiracy thriller with added autism-coded John Wick energy
- Intense brotherly banter (where "banter" = headlocks and firearms)
- Suit porn: If tailoring could kill, Christian Wolff would be the Grim Reaper of Zara
**The Verdict:**
It’s slick, smart, and very satisfying—like watching your accountant do parkour while balancing your books and body-slamming your ex.

🕹 **Until Dawn**
📽 *Director:* David F. Sandberg (*Annabelle: Creation*, AKA “Nope: The Movie”)
🎠*Starring:* Ella Rubin, Michael Cimino, Odessa A’zion
🏢 *Production:* Sony Pictures / PlayStation Productions
🔞 *Rated:* R for spooky teens, cursed cabins, and repeating your worst night ever
**The Setup:**
A group of attractive, emotionally damaged young people go to a remote cabin—because they’ve clearly never seen a horror movie—and immediately start dying in horrific ways. But wait: plot twist! It’s a time loop. Now they get to die again. And again. And again.
**Expect:**
- Teen drama meets supernatural horror meets Groundhog Day with blood
- A *looping* soundtrack that will haunt your dreams (and maybe your Spotify)
- A cabin that has seen more trauma than a therapy retreat for final girls
**The Verdict:**
It's *The Evil Dead* meets *Edge of Tomorrow* via *Euphoria*—and somehow it works. Bring snacks, scream responsibly.

🌀 **Nikky’s Sequel**
Nikky’s back with her time-turner, digging up a review from exactly one year ago. Was it a hidden gem or a cinematic war crime? Only one way to find out. (Spoiler: James probably loved it. Peter probably didn’t.)
