E275 - Tuner - What Would YOU Do?

from Cinema IRL · host Amber Noelle & Scott Gerhardt

This week, we’re diving into the high-stakes, low-common-sense world of the film *Tuner*, where a piano virtuoso with "allergic hearing" finds a second career in felony-level safe cracking. Our hosts break down the plight of Nikki, a man with hyperacusis who is forced to choose between massive medical debt and working for a security company that is—quite literally—the reason people need security. From debating the financial merits of filing for bankruptcy versus becoming a "contractor" for the Russian mob, to mocking the sheer audacity of homeowners who think a piano tuner is a neighborhood handyman, no plot hole is left un-probed. It’s a masterclass in how *not* to run a heist, especially when your business model involves air-horning the ears of the only guy who can actually open the safe.
