The Accountant (2016): He'll Depreciate...Your Life
from Morally Offensive · host Morally Offensive
This was a rough one. Ben Affleck plays an autistic accountant, whose neurodivergent mind allows him to be a genius with numbers, and even better with a gun. Let's just say the guys had...takes on this movie. With The Accountant 2 coming to theatres on April 25th, it felt like the perfect time to revisit this film, and to ask "does this film actually warrant a sequel"? Bill and Cisco talk about autistic and neurodivergent representation in media, action movie tropes, what makes a good script, and debate whether or not U of C is where fun goes to die (or if it's really Kankakee, Illinois, (home of the Mazon Creek Formation). They also dig up early 90s, late Satanic Panic era Catholic writing on the "evils of New Age music" from one of Bill's favorite crazy Catholic bathroom books. Check out our new Merch Store!
