The Ultimate Killing Machine

from The Takeaway: Movie Date

Two of this week's movies feature humans that have been programmed to be killing machines. Which, if either, is worth seeing? One is called "Hitman: Agent 47," and stars Rupert Friend and Zachary Quinto. The other is called "American Ultra," and stars Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart. There's also killing in "Sinister 2," but none of it involves programming humans to be killers. We also have some very special Movie Therapy for Joanna, the producer of WNYC's Longest Shortest Time podcast. And, as always, there's trivia!

Episode details come from the podcast's RSS feed.
