**🎬 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**  
đź“˝ *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**  
đź“˝ *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.)
