You say yes. Gambino. Do you understand the rules? To another episode of THR Present Stream Feens. I'm your host Brian. With me as always is my brother Nez.

What's up, man? Hey, everyone again. My fault. Life, everything. And, yeah, we're finally back. Should have been back weeks ago, but too much shit is going on. But we're here now.

Yeah, we're here for you guys. So we got to. crank this one out but um this was my choice what did we do the last time I don't even remember I don't know I don't even remember what the hell we did

well other than wrestling I don't I don't even fucking remember we did something yeah yeah everyone sorry yeah it's how long it's been I don't remember but tonight we're coming

Coming at you with a film that came out in 2016, directed by Gavin O'Connor, and this is Academy Award winner Ben Affleck and The Accountant. I need to know who he is, how he doesn't. And who survives this kind of clientele, the secrets this guy has. The accountant? It's a cover. He's different. Nothing short of supernatural. He's got a PhD in black money.

He's capable more than we know. He's a killer. Only when someone breaks his moral code. Who are you? The accountant, rated R. Action thriller. Christian Wolf is a mathematics savant with more affinity of numbers than people. Using a small town CPA office as a cover,

he makes his living as a freelance accountant for dangerous criminal organizations. With a treasury agent hot on his heels, Christian takes on a state of the art robotics company as a legitimate client. As Wolf gets closer to the truth about the discrepancy that involves millions of dollars, the body count starts to rise. All right. IMDB as a math, Savant uncooks the books for a new client, the Treasury Department closes in on his activities and the body count starts to arise. Okay. Again, Academy Award winner, Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Jay Jonah Jameson, J.K. Simmons, Shane, aka. The Punisher, John Bernthall, a Jeffrey Tambor,

a Cynthia, Addie Robinson, I believe. Jane Smart, John Lithgow, and a bunch of other people. all right this was my first time watching this film a lot of people were telling me to watch it and I just I'll watch it whenever I get to it I did pick up the Blu-ray and it's still in the rapper so stream fiends might as well give it a shot but before I get into what I thought

about what did you think of this one I thought this movie was badass first time I caught this was in the theater I didn't know what to expect I knew it was an action movie I knew it had Ben Affleck and John Bernthal. But, yeah, when I came into it, it was just badass action. I liked the whole aspect of Ben Affleck's character, having autism and just kind of

being a little shut off from everybody else, but being, you know, super good at certain things and kicking ass is one of them. And this kind of came out right, I think it came out right after John Wick. so you kind of got that John Wick style of action. And, yeah, Anna Kendrick, John Lithgow, you know, a whole bunch of people pop up in this one. And yeah, definitely a good one. And I can't believe it took you this long to watch it. Yeah, I don't even remember when I bought that Blu-ray.

I want to say it was during one of the Thanksgiving sales or whatever. I remember people talking about it, but I still didn't know what it was about. I guess if someone would have told me what it was about, I would have watched it, but I was just like, eh, I just, a lot of my movies, I just, some are still wrapped. I just buy and put them on the shelves. But when we were scrolling around trying to find something to watch, I was, you know what, all right, just give me a reason to watch this. I mean, I love Ben Affleck and I love Hannah Kendrick, not in everything she did. I tried with those pitch perfect films, but I couldn't do it. I love Fat Amy, but I still couldn't do it.

Never seen one at all. She had. She wasn't Twilight Films, but she wasn't one of the main stars and everything else she's popped up in. But yeah, this movie was bad ass. I was in. As soon as the beginning, I'm in. I can't stop watching this. At first I was kind of like fiddling on my phone, but then the story was getting really interesting and what was happening.

starting off being in the younger years of a Christian wolf that's Ben Affleck's character dealing with autism at a young age as well as his younger sister I believe she also was dealing with it and um was Braxton his older brother or younger brother older okay because at the end he does not look older than Ben Affleck but I don't know But the beginning was kind of rough Because Christian is making a puzzle And he's like one of those guys that he like

Has to finish it or if he doesn't finish Whatever he's doing He starts to Like have an episode Because he was like just really I need to finish I need to finish And he was like Pounding his head

And his brother Braxton was just sitting there watching him. His mom wanted to get him help, like send him to a neuroscience treatment center, but his dad was just old school, military, hell no, these are just kids acting out. We'll deal with it our way. But we can clearly see that Christian and his sister were just, his sister seemed to be a little worse. She was, because she was one of those rockers and was just not really there. And the older brother was, or the younger brother was just, Braxton was just like kind of, like, he seemed more mad about what was going on.

But he knew that was his brother and his sister and he loved him. But the mom kind of just got fed up with it and she just, she bounced. She couldn't handle it anymore. The dad was just like, ah, get out. And Braxton was mad because he like basically, gave his mom the finger and told her to fuck off. So she left and

Christian was just kind of like, well, what's happening? He was sad that his mom was leaving because he had a little episode, but his dad calmed him now. But then his dad decided to do it his way and was taking him did he take him to like another part of the world

so they can train martial arts? I want to say he took him to Indonesia. Okay. Yeah. So he, because his teacher even his teacher was like all right that's enough because he was training them and they were they were fighting each other but then they had there was a lesson where they had the

christian and his brother had to take on uh their sensei and he the sense that the guy was just beating the hell out of him but then he was like all right that's enough but the dad was like nope nope keep going keep going more he was like did did they take you down he was like no and he was like they're not done. Yeah, I was like, man, I mean, that was like borderline abuse. But I can see what he was trying to do, but I don't think

that would help the situation with what's going on. I see, I kind of got the how his dad was trying to get Christian just to quote unquote be normal. And

I was like, I was feeling kind of about I was like mad at the dad for for what he was doing uh to his sons so these these were all just flashbacks and then this one we get into the story of uh who christian is and what he's doing come to find out that he's got his own little accountant practice and he's just kind of laying kind of laying in the cut of uh where he where he was at um then we get some other characters. Jay Jonah Jameson, he is Ray King.

I think he was the CIA or FBI. I think they were FBI, but I think they were he was ahead of the like fraud or something department, something with money. He was the Treasury Director.

Yeah, there you go. And he was he's on the verge of retiring within months and he had to get his data data analysis this young lady, beautiful young lady, Mary Beth Medina, I think that's how I say her last name.

And he was just trying to get her to help him solve this case. Because they were having cases of, they were trying to figure out who this unknown assassin was. Because there's video and everything of this guy going into this mob boss. I think they were in New Yorker. I just assumed it was New York. These mob mafia guys and going in. there in killing them all.

But we get to that story later on on why Ray is so eager to figure out who this unknown guy is in it. But when he's dealing with Mary Beth, he's trying to, he kind of like, I figured he was trying to get people, but couldn't, but then he found her.

And Mary Beth didn't put, she had a criminal record when she was a juvenile now, but she didn't put it on her application or whatever to be a part of this organization. And it was like, I don't remember what she did, but it was like to the point where if you don't do what I'm telling you to do to help me find out who this guy is,

I'm going to blow the whistle on you and you're going to go to prison. Yeah, if I remember, I mean, it was bad, but it didn't sound that bad. I think she, I think somebody sold her sister some drugs and she found him and like beat the shit out of them. Yeah, but I'm like, is it, do you go to prison if you don't put down your criminal records? I don't know. I mean, he had all her information. He had like pictures of her little gun tattoo on her hip.

Yeah, I'm like, he had her little criminal record. I think it was just that one thing she had done, but it must have been that bad to where he was, he was holding. that over her head. Basically, look, if you don't help me, I'm gonna show everyone this and then your ass out. So she kind of just, well, all right, so she joined in on

it. I mean, she did get a I think I think she was just more scared of anything because I didn't think it was that big of a deal on what she had done to go to prison. I mean, she already paid for it if she had the criminal record, but I don't know.

It's like how the government works guess. So she's trying to figure out. She's got all kinds of the video of what they filmed of him, like going outside. It was mainly just stuff from the outside street. Come to find out later on in the film. We're going to jump all over the place. Later earlier in the film, the actual person that why Ray was looking for this unknown assailant is because he was there.

he was on a stakeout watching that place when this unknown guy walked in there and killed everybody and uh he was there he went in but he didn't get killed that guy kind of just let him go so that's why he was like i need to find out who this dude is before i retire or it's probably just gonna mess with him his whole life so that was the reason why he was he got married beth join in to help him do it. And then we start to go into Christians' background. He was an accountant for all these criminal people. I mean, not just like the mob and everything.

He was like dealing with foreign criminals. Basically, I don't know, I don't want to call him terrorist organizations, but it seemed like it was. But, and he was also, did they just get it? him for his accounting skills or were they getting him for the his because he was an assassin I think that tied in later I think right now it was about

the money okay that he was connected to all these people as a quote unquote accountant because he he was really good with numbers like it says he was a savant he could sit there and just add up numbers

like within seconds in his head I mean I wish I could do that. That's why my math skills were no good. But he was still dealing with the mental issues of his autism. He kind of had it under control, but there was still

certain things that he had to do on a daily basis to keep himself quote unquote normal. I didn't kind of understand that because he would go into his house, have this crazy music blast

and the stroblight and what was he doing with that little rolling pin on his legs i think he was strengthening his shins i was like ah i tried that when i was watching it i was just a little one of my kids is my grandson's toys i was like oh hell no uh i assume okay if that works that works i that maybe that's why mine aren't strong as his but i was like oh man because i mean i've known I had had a couple of friends that had had autism, not to this degree that he had, but there was just slight stuff that they, like, would do all the time.

Um, they both worked and they both went to school and everything, but there was, as I got to know them, there were certain little things that they did. But they were always straight up with me. Look, this is what I do. Don't, don't be weird out, weird about it.

I'm like, okay, whatever, man. That's your life, do what you want to do. But yeah, I thought that was, it wasn't weird it was just if you're not familiar with that type of stuff you probably would think it was weird

but this character Christian we knew already how he was when he was younger and he was like much better now but he still had to do those I assume there were daily rituals to help him

try to stay focused on what he was doing so yeah because I did love the part in the beginning when he was dealing with this local farmer and his wife. They were trying to do their their taxes and everything. I guess they were doing an audit on them.

And I guess it cost like a ton of money. And then he was trying to help them with it. Because he was like, well, he was asking the wife, well, do you, what do you do? And I make little trinket things here and there. And he was like, oh, well, where do you do this? And you go, oh, it's in the, and not just in the labor.

in room and he went oh your workspace and she was like no uh and he was like okay well where do you get all this supplies oh i just go to the local local craft store and he went in the company car he was like um no and he was looking at it like he was trying to help them with it and then when he was telling talking to the the husband the farmer guy and he goes yeah well how big is your wife's uh workspace oh it's such and such feet and he was like pointing up and then he kept making it he was basically helping them so they can have a cheaper

I assume bill to pay or whatever so I thought that was really cool he wasn't just some slimy sleaze just trying to get paid he was helping out the common man that was out there working I thought that was really cool and that guy kind of just like hey yeah man if you ever need something just come out of

to my farm and I got plenty of room and that's when he told he goes yeah I'm a I shoot I shoot guns and practice and oh okay so that's when he told me I just come out and I got all kinds of land you can shoot all you want and

I don't know what kind of gun that was he had it was some big huge sniper rifle or something remind me of those guns they had in Robocop when they were running up most powerful sniper rifle I ever seen because when he's

He had these cantaloupes set up on a fence. I don't know how far it was, far away from him. They said he was pretty far. But apparently that gun could shoot like half a mile or something like that. Or maybe a mile. I can't remember what they said. Because the farmer guy was watching him. He was like, man, what's this guy doing?

That's a little far. He goes, he was talking to himself or talking to his wife. He was like, even in my best day, I don't think I can do it. And he shot all those little cantaloupes. And he was like, whoa, he was just amazed. Yeah, when they were showing that gun, that clip that was in it, I don't know how big those shells were, man, but they're probably those big long ones too. So I wouldn't want to get hit by that. So that's what he was doing.

He was working in his little accounting firm, but then he got called by these living robotics company to help them do some audit stuff because what's are nuts? What the hell was her name? Hannah Kendrick, Dana Cummings. She was an accountant for living robotics. She had noticed that there was some kind of discrepancies within the books. And basically money was missing. And she kind of knew, but she really didn't know exactly how much. So that's when they hired John Lithgow and his wife and other company.

they hired them to come fix the books. So he goes in and he kind of finds out what's going on, what happened, and how much money. But then he was like, all right, I need all the books for the last 15 years. I think it was 15 or 10 years. And then he just starts going through it all in this one big room. And that's like, okay, well, here's this, Dana's going to help you. and he was kind of like

well first he was like I don't need help but then they were like no no you you need her so he's like all right so he kind of helps her he goes to work and does it all in a night and he's one of those guys like once you get

get going he can't stop doing what he's doing until he's done so that's why the next morning they came in he had all the little white boards written all over it And there was these glass windows in that room he was in. He wrote all on there.

He had everything laid out on the table. And he figured how much money was missing. I think it was like $61 million and some change. And they were like, what? And then they were like, yeah. So he was like, this is what's missing. And they were trying to figure out who was doing it. And he was like, I don't know.

but this is this is how much is missing and they were like oh okay man they basically can you help us figure it out but when the the higher ups in the company found out that uh he figured out the exact amount of money that was missing that's in their like okay um you know what uh here's your pay and uh don't worry about it well well uh well you're good you can go because that one of the days he came back and he had there was all these cleaning men packing everything up and erasing all his work that was on the windows and the walls and he was like i'm not done i'm not done i thought he was gonna flip out on him well eventually he flipped out later yeah but i thought he was an ah like started hitting his head or anything because he didn't finish because in uh and one of the scenes earlier when he was

younger he was putting a puzzle together and he couldn't find the last he had fallen on the floor and he was, ah, screaming and going all mad, and he was flipping out, and his sister was getting all riled up because her brother was getting riled up. But Braxton walked over,

found the piece, and gave it to his brother, and his brother was able to put it in, and it kind of calmed him down. So he was like, oh, I got to finish, I got to finish. But at this point,

we didn't know why they didn't, they didn't want him to do it. But later we figure out that, he figures out that it was the, company that was stealing the money. Basically, like, um, uh,

they weren't, they weren't buying shit. What were that? What were they doing with that? I can't remember now. Um, I think, I think he explains it later that they were taking the money

and putting it back in. They were doing some kind of scam to put it back into business to make it look like nothing was being taken. Yeah, it was like they took the 61 million and embezzled it. and I think they were just putting it right back into the company so it wouldn't raise any suspicion because I don't think anyone was rolling around in nice fat rides and buying giant mansions and buying all kinds of stuff.

It was whatever they were doing. They were doing something crooked within their company. I think this is when we get introduced to John Bernthal because he goes to visit the CFO. Yeah, that's right. He met him. Yeah. Who hired him? I can't remember.

I think it was it. Well, we're jumping back and forth, right? Yeah. It was John Lithgow. Okay. All right. So, yeah, he, he was the one that was dirty. So other than Jay Jonah Jameson, whatever his name was, Ray, I think, him and the young sister, Mary Beth,

while they were still trying to figure out who Christian was, all this would, that was the other side story, them running around. It was basically they heard just trying to figure out everything. They did eventually figure out who he was. And they had audio recording of him, but they really couldn't make out what he was saying. Because he was kind of like whispering something right before he killed all those mafia guys. They figured out who he was, that he had his own little practice. and he was

she also did more deep dives that he owned that little strip mall area it was like a nail place and I can't remember what was next to him I think of a chicken lunch shack or something at oh

yeah so they figured out that and then they were kind of like why does he own all this and who who is he because at this point they still couldn't figure out why he was doing this because he had his own little businesses and everything. But so yeah, the, yeah, Shane and Shane, yeah, Braxton, the John Bernthal, they go to,

I think this guy was like the second in command. They go to, says he was the CFO. His name was Ed Chilton, I think. They go to his house and they force him to overdose on his insulin. basically yeah they gave him they gave him a choice basically you

overdose and make it look like an accident or we're going to go rape and kill your wife yeah so he was like oh fuck yeah um Braxton he was just sitting there eating

cereal or something drinking milk talking to him and he gave that guy the option you got to do this or this is going to happen And so he ended up killing himself by overdosing on his insulin. Because later after when they all figured out and find out that he was dead,

I can't remember what it was. They were saying, they said, this isn't like him. He's been taking this forever. And he knows how much insulin to take. And they weren't sure on why he did that. I think it was John Littgau's sister. Oh, that's right. The older lady, you think her name was.

Yeah. That's right. And because they were like, all right, well, that's that. So he's dead. Yeah, because she was also in the company because she was what was the one that helped bring Christian. And when he first came on the scene at the company when he was fixing the books. But then they ended up killing her because, oh, wait a minute. after that CFO guy got killed,

they were just trying to get Christian away. Like, all right, just go back to, here's your check and go back to your normal life. But since he knew and Dana, Anna, Ann and Kendrick's character knew about how much money was missing and everything. So that's when they figured they had to send the hit squads. after them. Did they go after Christian first? Or did they go after? Oh, they did.

That's right. Because he was, um, Christian was out shooting again. He went out to that farmer's house and, uh, two dudes showed up there. Yeah, that bald, dirty guy that's in all the action movies. Yeah, he was one of those that guys. They went out there and basically had guns to the heads of the, the two, uh, the couple

of the farmers that live. there and they were like well where is he go he's outside shooting so they were kind of like looking around one of the dudes was inside the other guy walked outside to go look for him and he took on to the head and they were like ah so he starts blasting and then they were getting trying to get out of the house and use the two farmers the farmer and his wife as shield and he gets in the truck but then he gets blasted but before before he killed him before he actually took him out he wanted to know who

sent you and who are you after why are you guys after me and now he just told me yeah we're supposed to get you and we're supposed to get this other girl so he was like shit so he knew that they were going after Dana so he just she killed that dude too and they jumped in his truck and

boom all that's oh let me go back earlier in the film uh Christian had this uh like storage room with like one of those trailers in it. And inside that trailer was his

like his vault. He had all his weapons in there. He had tons of money. And when the camera's kind of going around the room you just see all these artwork and just little trinkets of this and that. He had, I think it was like either, I think it was

Darth Vader's lightsaber, like one used in the film because it was really expensive. Because I remember when he was open in the drawer, he found he had those graded comic books. I think he had like action sports number one, the first appearance of Superman

and he had all these Pollock pictures on the walls and everything and ours of gold. Yeah, it was just all this shit in there and we at this point we didn't know what it meant but so yeah so flashback forward after he goes racing over

to Dana's she lives in Chicago so he was over there trying to find her to get to her house but he gets there. She's just coming home from the store and she's in the elevator with some dude and she goes to her apartment. And then when she's going in,

two guys come charging in and they're getting ready to kill her. But by then Christian shows up and he's in the hall walking around. He sees the guys that are in there. He ends up smoking those dudes. Well, he came just walking down the hall like nothing was happening.

She just started blasting fools. And then he got into the apartment killed the first guy. And the other dude was in the bathroom getting ready to kill Dana. But then she kind of fought him with him. She was hitting him, beating him up in there in the bathroom. But then he kind of like overcame her. But then that's when Christian came in and whooped shit out of him and killed him.

Yeah, used his face to break the sink. And then she was like, what's going on? He goes, we got to get out of here. So they end up hauling ass out of there. He takes her back to her trailer. And then that's when she was like, what the fuck is all this shit? Well, first he told her, he was like, look, just stay out here. I got to go in here and get something.

And then she knows this. And she goes in and starts looking around like, what? And she goes, are those paintings real? And he's like, yeah, where did you get those? Well, their payments. And she's like, what? And now we're figuring it out that all these people that he was doing bad shit for. I'm sure most of them gave him money.

then there's sometimes where you got stuff that's worth more than what you're then they were giving them paintings and given them that lightsaber and those the Superman number one comics and shit like that so uh weren't they oh they ended up going to a hotel right yeah he took her to a fancy hotel and she's wondering why a fancy hotel they're trying to lay low and it's because he he said because he thought she would like it because he's he likes her but he's like doesn't know how to go about it. expressing feelings and stuff. Yeah, because when they were walking in some fancy old hotel, she goes, I can't afford this. And goes, don't worry about it, my treat. So he kind of just takes her up the room and room service and all that, just trying to hide. It was a good place to hide because no one's going to be looking for them

in some fancy place to be looking for you like in Motel 6 or some shit. So we find out that Shane's on the case now, him and his crew are all going, uh, trying to hunt down, um, Christian. And during all this, um, uh, the,

what's his name? Um, Ray and, uh, Mary Beth, they're, they're closing in on him and that, and they're, they're getting ready to, um, they knew who he was now and they were going after him and looking for him. But he's, he's on the run, uh, trying to get away from all these assassins and everything. because he ends up going to that lady's house to check on her to make sure if she was involved in it. But when he gets her house, she's dead. She had a bullhole in her head.

And then, Shane, did Braxton go up there and kill her? I think so. I think that was one of his hits that he had to do. Because Christian was waiting outside. And he saw Braxton. He didn't know who it was. He just saw him walking down the hall or walking down the street. Braxton's walking along and he turns around and starts unloading his gun.

But Christian was hiding. So he didn't see him. So like, fuck. And that's when he went back in the house. And that's when he found that that lady was dead. She was a one, John Lithgow's sister found out that she was dead. She was married to the other dude that they made him overdose of insulin. because when they were talking to him in the beginning he was saying he's like my best friend and he's my business partner and all this are talking about john liff cow his name was lamar blackburn he was the CEO of living robotics he was telling him all that so um so christian knows uh who who's dirty after when they figured out that it was uh john lithgow's character

um the treasury department still searching for him did before the finale with the the the battle at the end did where did he what did he tell uh dana kendricks character because she she was helping him for a while but then before he started killing everyone she he kind of told her to get lost i forgot where i know uh j Jonah jameson and the other agent i know they were at uh what's his name's house that's when they found out who is i has identity well not his identity just kind of where he was living and yeah because they went to his house and there was basically nothing in there yeah but they found like the big ass gun in the garage and how he had the the whole perimeter had like cameras like motion sensor cameras and that big gallon gun

behind the curtains yeah and then that's when he tells the story tells the agent the story of of him meeting the basically meeting the accountant and the accountant was going to kill him but spared his life yeah

I can't remember what I get I can't remember what he told Dana basically like don't don't can't be around me anymore because I'm about to go uh lay my smack down on the bad guys so he goes to um blackburn's mansion and Shane and all those guys uh Braxton they're all in there waiting like all right and then he was kind of I mean Braxton was talked to him like I don't know what you I don't think you realize who you're

dealing with this guy is a professional and basically him well we're professionals too but this guy is something else yeah his next level shit and i know there was a there was a part in a movie where something was said that made him think it could be his brother i forgot what it was see i didn't catch any of that spoiler alert everyone they're sorry i didn't know that i was shocked at the end yeah but there was like a little something on doing this rewatch there was i forgot what it was fuck it's gonna it's gonna fucking kill me know, but it was something said that made him kind of like have this look on his face like he might know who it is. I didn't catch it.

I watched this twice and I didn't catch it. So yeah, Christian shows up to Blackburn's Mansion. Braxton and his whole crew are in there waiting guys outside and everybody's just strapped to the gills on the inside. So they're kind of just doing the radio checks going around, checking the perimeter. One of the dudes is in answering, and then the camera shows, and we see him laying there with a bullhole on his head. So we know Christians in town. So they're all kind of looking out the window. John Lithgow, Blackburn, he's like, what the fuck you guys doing?

Why aren't you guys going after him? Come on. He's trying to kill me. And then Braxton's, he's sitting there looking at a laptop watching all the surveillance cameras that are all over the building. Excuse me. So, and one by one, Christian is just lighting these fools up. He just blasting everybody that he sees and everyone that comes at him.

I love the scene when he was hiding behind that little wall. And these soldiers, these little hit men guys weren't very good because they just aren't trying to hide for nothing. They were running all out in the open. And he was blasted him because when he was hiding by that little wall, he like, slid on the grass and popped in a few into those fools and i really loved uh that scene there was one guy at the door and um brachson was talking about yeah man he's uh he's really good he's you know what uh whatever whatever bullet does to your head and then that folk gets blasted

in the head and then ah they started uh trying to run uh run and just just hide but uh christian ends of getting in and Blackburn is like fuck man he's in my house what are you guys doing because you're hearing gunshots and fights upstairs because Christian was just smoking everybody and uh and there's he had some hand-to-hand combat he was fighting some guys

uh in the hall did he end up getting shot by one of the dudes yeah yeah yeah I think he took around or maybe a couple rounds but he was still kicking ass so he ends up killing all those dudes that were upstairs and he finally goes downstairs and he's fighting this other guy

that guy was bringing it to him for a minute I think it was like the second in command under Braxton because he was kicking his ass for a minute but then Christian got the upper hand and just fucking killed him

shot him and when he was Christian was leaning against a wall he was mumbling something I can't remember what it was it was something that that was helping him I assume

calm down that he had to repeat to himself and uh when uh braxton was looking at the surveillance cameras he noticed he got he got a clear shot of who this guy was and this is when this is when it snapped to me because the look on his face and he's looking at the screen like fuck that's when i went that's his brother so that it was a shocker to me because i didn't i did not see that coming at all. So he's like, fuck. So he kind of, the John Lithgow,

screaming, what the fuck? Why don't you do? Go out there and kill this guy before he kills me. So, Braxton comes walking out and Christian is, like hiding on the floor

behind this wall. But he hears Braxton stepping, stepping out, and that he kind of looks around the corner and it's when he notices that that's his brother. so then they are like fuck man and then bracton's like like what are you doing i mean i didn't know it was you and and then christian was just looking at him and then brachson was like

what no how are you doing or hey brother and i haven't seen you in a while and they were kind of really arguing and uh brachshund started getting in christian's face he goes look man he goes it's your fucking fault that Pops is dead he's like why did you guys go to that funeral all right I forgot about this until just now earlier in the film Christian and his dad

um uh Christian's mom died I think she had a cancer or something and they showed up to his funeral oh I fucking totally forgot about that other dude uh they go to the funeral and

uh his mom's husband recognized them and then they kind of get into it into a fight some guys come out Christian ends up beating the shit out of all of them did he shoot anyone I don't remember no I think I think that yeah he just fought him

he's beating the shit out of everybody yeah so that was oh the dad ended up getting killed at that funeral yeah yes I think somebody shot him I can't remember

because he ended up dying um and Christian went to prison for for all that and this is where he learned some more stuff because he was his cellmate

was this guy named Francis Silverberg and it turned out he was doing dirty shit for the mob and everything too but he got I think he got caught and he had to He had to go to prison. But Francis was teaching Christian all his secrets on everything. And I think that's how he got into that life of crime dealing with criminals doing their accounting shit for him.

I think that's how he got sucked into that. But he was always telling him giving him secrets on how to do it and how to, I think, how to deal with his autism. helping him. You need to learn this. Yeah, he was teaching them how to talk to people and what to say and how to say it. Yeah, because when that guy got out of prison, the mob got up to. I think he rolled over on the mom. Yeah.

And I don't know why they didn't get someone to kill him in prison. I think his Christian was there. I think he. Yeah, I think it was part of he had Christian. And I think he was under witness protection. but that all came to an end when he got released so he was just kind of left out there with nobody yeah it was like soon as because christian was still locked up and when that guy francis got out uh jeffrey tamber he's been in a million things last thing i watched him in was mr mom

and that was an old movie but yeah as soon as he got out the mob got a hold of him and uh they tortured him and killed him um and uh that's right shit and i now remember this is coming back to me. That mob that killed him, that was who Ray, J. Jonah Jameson, was casing out their joint, keeping an eye on surveillance on

them. And that's when Christian went in there and killed all of them because they killed his friend Francis Silverberg. That was why he went in there and killed all those dudes. And Ray, J. Jonah Jameson, was trying to figure out who that unknown

guy was. So, yeah, it wasn't Wasn't it Ray's fault that they took witness protection away from the guy? Yeah. Okay. So he kind of felt responsible from the beginning. Yeah. So, yeah, all that was coming for head. But back to the end.

Yeah, because Braxton was yelling at Christian. He goes, it's your fault. The pops dead and all this. And he was like, ah, so they started fighting each other. They were like hand-to-hand whooping the shit out of each other. but Christian wasn't really he was fighting but he wasn't really fighting he was basically just kind of grabbing him and throwing him around but then Braxton was like come on why don't you fight me come on he was like yelling at him and he and it was just so Christian just he got mad that's when he started fighting back and he was beating the shit out of Braxton but then he kind of just

stopped and he didn't want to kill him or anything he pulled out his gun and stuck it to his head but he just kind of I think he did that just to calm him down because he had stopped and they were sitting there talking and Braxton was just like man I just I missed you man he goes you're my brother and I love you I'll do anything for you he goes you just disappeared and and fuck mom she she just walked out on us and all that so even they were just kind of just reconciling and then yeah I think he had a problem with the dad too because I'm remembering he said something like you came back and went to him and you just come to me first. That's right. So, yeah, I think he, I think he was mad. Braxton was mad at his dad for what what he did to them.

I mean, he wasn't physically abusing them. It was just, he was mad at all the shit that they had to learn to protect themselves and everything. So I think he was just more mad. More like mental abuse. Yeah, he was mad for all that shit. And then, yeah, when after his mom died, because he, because Braxton just kind of pretty much

wrote his mom off because she left them. So he's like, fuck that bitch. I want nothing to do with her. But yeah, the dad and all them, I guess he, he was still in love with his wife. So he wanted to see her one last time. And then all hell broke loose. So they kind of just kind of hash it out. And Braxton was like, well, can I see you again?

And he's like, yeah, well, we'll hook up again. again and he tells him well oh no no no before when they're talking Blackburn John Lickow's character he came running out like what the fuck man

this guy just he's gonna ruin me and he killed this and that person and da da da da and he was just bat ranting off on some shit and the smooth as fuck Christian just pulled out his gun and shot him in the head

and then just kept talking to his brother and then so basically evil was punished that the John Liff guy was the one that was stealing all the money from the company and so he

was dead and then Braxton and Christian were talking and then he's like well how will I find you this is what Braxton said to Christian and he just looked at him and goes don't worry about it I'll find you Yeah See you next week

Yeah he said that They kind of just left each other we go to um uh uh uh uh uh

mary beth uh they're having some kind of briefing and basically telling them that yeah we we found out who the guy is and all that and they didn't say he got away

but they're just saying this this case is closed yeah there's another part we skipped over when they got that phone call at Christian's house from christian's handler that speaks to him on the phone yeah and that's when you find out they kind of give them tips on stuff so that's why they didn't really tell who he was

I don't think they were after him to catch him I think he was just more he needed to know who he was yeah because I mean they never she's running around looking for him this whole time but they never actually meet up or anything because we we see Krishna, we see what's her name?

Dana, Anna Kendrick's character, she's at home and she gets some kind of packages and she opens it up and it's this big painting of those dogs playing poker. They were kind of talking about it earlier in the film because she asked him,

why do you like this? And he goes, because it's cool. These dogs are playing poker. So she's looking at it at this picture at this big huge painting and then she notices it like why is this so thick and then she kind of pulls back the little dogs playing poker picture that's on the front and underneath is an original Pollock painting it kind of reminded me of how Eddie Van Halen's um uh Frankenstein guitar looked it kind of had that type of crazy red and black and white design uh and painting so she's like oh fuck she was just

like, she's probably like wet herself with excitement. So she ended up hanging that on her wall and just kind of looking at it. And then we see Christian driving down the road with his trailer. And that was the end of the movie. But, man, overall, man, this movie was awesome. I loved it. I watched it twice and still forgot some shit. But if you got any experience,

Max, it's streaming on there. But yeah, this movie was fucking just amazing. The budget was 44 million and it boxed office $155.2 million. So, went way over

made what they made back what they spent and more. And the director said there will be a sequel. Oh, there is? Yeah, it's in the works. Okay, good. um

he was the one that did warrior right is that what he directed yeah I don't know if the sequel's happening right away because I know he's turning warrior into a series what all right

brothers what was that one was that spider man the spider man I don't know it says it's in Hindi language I don't think so

yeah this I don't think it's that one Pride and Glory miracle tumbleweeds I don't even know what this stuff is Oh they're just short films and everything Yeah the accountant and the way back Oh he did that one I never see that one

I wanted to see that basketball one Yeah Did you see that one? No I heard it was pretty decent Not a lot of basketball in it more of a drama. Oh, that was a basketball film. That was a reason, because Theo watched it, and he wasn't sure.

Oh, the movie Brothers. It says it's the Indian remake of Warrior, the one with, which is nuts. Venom? Bain. Tom Hardy. And what's... Mad Max?

Yeah. No, he's not Mad Max. Tom Hardy and what's his name? Owen Lars from Obi-1. That hell's that guy's name? You guys know. Joel Edgerton. Yeah, that was his name.

That one. I guess Brothers is a remake. I'm going to seek out this film. But, yeah, everyone, that was the accountant. We've got HBO Max. It's streaming on there. All right, Bri, you're up. All right.

I think you just had its 35th anniversary, so we're going to do the movie White Man Can't Jump, which is streaming on Amazon Prime. I have not seen that movie in a million years. The only thing I remember was when Rosie Perez was thirsty. That's the only part I remember the film. She wasn't talking about a glass of water either. Yeah, we'll get into that one next time.

We won't come back a month later. We'll get that one out of the way really soon. But yeah, with that, everyone, come back. Oh, do we do recommendations on this one or the other one? I don't know. Streaming recommendations, yeah, this one. All right. I was watching this yesterday

It's also on HBO Max Um Lone Survivor You guys haven't seen that one Um Did we do that one? Not yet Oh okay well

Yeah lone survivor Everyone watch that one It's on HBO Max Um mine is I'm I finally got to The new season of Strangit and I am seven episodes in and I am enjoying it.

I am enjoying the new characters added. Some of it already got spoiled to me, but it's okay. I'm still enjoying the season. Only one thing was spoiled to me, and it's all over the place. When Eddie was doing Master Puppets, other than that,

I didn't know anything about it. So I was like, okay, all the spoilers were away. But it was, a good season. I thought this was it, but apparently we're getting season five so. Yeah, season five will be the last.

And it's going to be shorter, too. So. I think they're doing the, I think they're doing the Game of Thrones shorter episode, uh, shorter amount of episodes, but longer. Okay.

Well, I hope so. I liked these long episodes. I mean, I wanted more, but they only gave us nine episodes. yeah definitely check out yeah Stranger Things season 4 and lone survivor so but with that everyone
