**🎬 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.
---
🧮 **The Accountant 2**
📽 *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**
📽 *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.)
---
🎧 **New Episode Every Thursday**
We watch the movies so you don’t have to (but honestly, you probably should). Expect passion, popcorn, and at least one bad pun per segment.

Week 78: Sinners, Warfare & Drop
Buckle up, because this week the Pundits are sinking their teeth into supernatural Southern Gothic, crawling through the chaos of modern warfare, and getting trapped in the world’s most stressful dating app experience. It's Popcorn Pundits: Genre Roulette—with a touch of blood, bullets, and Bluetooth.
🩸 Sinners
🎬 Directed by: Ryan Coogler
🎭 Starring: Michael B. Jordan (x2!), Aunjanue Ellis, LaKeith Stanfield
🏢 Production: Proximity Media / Warner Bros.
🔞 Rated: R (for vampire violence, salty language, and some deep emotional wounds)
What’s it about?
Twin brothers Smoke and Stack return to their Southern hometown only to find it’s less “small-town nostalgia” and more “ancient evil in the attic.”
Think True Blood meets The Witch, with the emotional weight of Moonlight lurking behind every porch light.
Why it hits:
Michael B. Jordan pulls a Dead Ringers (or Adaptation for the Cage fans) with eerie nuance. Coogler crafts a vampire tale that trades jump scares for social scars—this one’s all about trauma, faith, and bloodlines that bite back.
🎖️ Warfare
🎬 Directed by: Henry Alex Rubin (Disconnect)
🎭 Starring: Glen Powell, Stephan James, Caleb Landry Jones
🏢 Production: A24 / Thunder Road Pictures
🔞 Rated: R (war is hell—and so is the language)
What’s it about?
A tight-knit squad of elite soldiers is dropped into a mission that spirals into chaos—both on the battlefield and in their own heads.
Why it hits:
It’s Black Hawk Down meets The Hurt Locker with a Saving Private Ryan side of trauma. Sweaty, shaky, and full of sand-in-your-eyes realism.
Shot in handheld, with minimal score and maximum tension—it’s Dunkirk, but if Nolan let everyone swear like sailors.
📱 Drop
🎬 Directed by: Christopher Landon (Freaky, Happy Death Day)
🎭 Starring: Meghann Fahy, Dylan Gelula
🏢 Production: Blumhouse / Universal Pictures
🔞 Rated: PG-13 (mild peril, digital dread)
What’s it about?
A widow’s blind date turns into a digital nightmare when her phone starts buzzing with threats—and we’re not just talking about bad Hinge messages.
Why it hits:
It’s Gone Girl meets Searching, trapped inside an episode of You. Landon delivers a stylish, satirical thriller that plays out like You’ve Got Mail if Jordan Peele wrote it… while caffeinated.
Smart, tense, and just techy enough to make you rethink location sharing.
🌀 Nikky’s Sequel
You know the drill—Nikky dives into the archives to resurrect a film we reviewed exactly one year ago. Will it still sparkle like Twilight in the sun… or crumble like a Cats DVD under pressure?

Week 77:
This week, we’re diving into a trio of wildly different worlds—no two are alike, but all promise cinematic thrills! From wordless survival epics to blocky adventures and down‑and‑dirty espionage, Peter, James, and Nikky have you covered.
🌊 Flow
A flooded world… a lone cat… and zero dialogue. Flow uses pure visuals and sound design to tell its story—think Wall‑E meets The Red Turtle. Peter explores how this silent gem packs emotional punch without a single spoken word.
🟫 A Minecraft Movie
Four misfits. One mysteriougamer‑fueled blockbuster: does it level up to a true family favorited Hess’s gamer‑fueled blockbuster: does it level up to a true family favorite, or does it crash and burn like a creeper in daylight?
🕵️ The Amateur
Rami Malek stars as Charlie Heller, a cryptographer turned rogue operative bent on revenge after his wife’s murder. Nikky digs into this lean, mean spy thriller—equal parts Mr. Robot tension and Jason Bourne grit.
🔄 Plus, Nikky’s Sequel
Don’t miss this week’s time‑travel segment, where Nikky resurrects one of last year’s Pundits’ picks. Which film do you think she’s dragging back into the spotlight?

Week 76:
It’s a full house this week at The Popcorn Pundits! 🎬 Peter, James, and Nikky each took on wildly different cinematic journeys—from pixelated portals and unicorn disasters to 1500s queens with killer vocals and underground train horrors. It’s eclectic. It’s chaotic. It’s exactly what you signed up for.
🟫 A Minecraft Movie (Peter)
Four misfits fall into a blocky world powered by imagination and have to level up fast—or be stuck forever. It's part fantasy adventure, part gamer fever dream, and Peter’s here to break down whether it’s a win… or a glitchy respawn.
🩸 The Midnight Meat Train (Peter’s Homework)
Photographers usually look for good lighting—this guy finds a serial killer on a subway. Gruesome, moody, and totally bonkers, Peter reports back on how The Midnight Meat Train serves up both horror and… well, meat.
🦄 Death of a Unicorn (James)
What happens when Paul Rudd, Jenna Ortega, and a unicorn collide on a country road? You get a darkly funny, pharma-satirical horror that asks, “What would you do with a magical corpse?” James digs into the madness, the meaning, and the unicorn guts.
👑 Six: The Musical Live! (Nikky)
Nikky hits the stage (from her cinema seat) with this pop-powered retelling of Henry VIII’s six wives as they reclaim their stories—with sass, sparkle, and serious girl group energy. Is it history with harmony? She’ll let you know.
🌀 Plus, Nikky’s Sequel
Don’t miss this week’s Nikky’s Sequel, where she brings back a film the Pundits reviewed a year ago to see if time has been kind—or cringey.
🎧 New episode every Thursday – Tune in for sharp opinions, deep dives, and more film variety than a bargain DVD bin in 2006.

Week 75: This week, Peter & James trade popcorn for paranoia as they dive into two unsettling thrillers, while Peter also tackles the creepiest Craigslist gig of all time—and Nikky’s back with another nostalgic gem in Nikky’s Sequel. Buckle up, it’s a wild one.
🔨 A Working Man
Levon Cade just wanted to lay bricks and be a good dad, but the world had other plans. When a local girl vanishes, this ex-counter-terrorism legend is forced back into action. It’s part Taken, part "DIY SOS"—but with more combat and fewer tool belts.
👩🦰 The Woman in the Yard
Nothing says “welcome home” like a mysterious stranger loitering in your front garden delivering cryptic warnings. Is she a ghost? A prophet? A persistent Avon rep? Peter and James try to unravel the mystery before the lawn needs mowing again.
🎥 Peter’s Homework – Creep
A young videographer answers a dodgy online ad to film a dying man’s final messages. Seems simple—until the man turns out to be the human equivalent of a jump scare. Peter breaks down this skin-crawling thriller and possibly regrets every moment of it.
🔁 Nikky’s Sequel
Nikky’s back with her weekly time-travel segment, Nikky’s Sequel! Which film from 12 months ago is she resurrecting this week? And were the Pundits film prophets… or just wildly off the mark? There’s only one way to find out!
New Podcast Every Thursday – Join us for movie madness, throwback reviews, and one or two moments of existential dread (thanks, Creep).

This week on The Popcorn Pundits, James goes full action hero, Peter tries to feel something (anything), and Nikky flips open the cinematic time capsule for her latest "Nikky’s Sequel" throwback!
🧬 Novocaine
James hit the cinema solo to check out Novocaine, where Nathan Caine can’t feel pain—a super handy trait when your girlfriend’s been kidnapped and your life’s turning into an action movie.
Directed by Dan Berk (Villains, Significant Other), this adrenaline-fueled flick stars:
Jack Quaid, proving he’s more than just the guy from The Boys with a very punchable face
Amber Midthunder, absolutely owning every frame like she’s got robot sidekicks off screen
Ray Nicholson, reminding us that being Jack Nicholson’s son means you probably know how to smirk like a pro
James breaks it down—did this pain-free thriller punch above its weight, or just leave us emotionally numb?
🔁 Nikky’s Sequel
Meanwhile, Nikky's back with her time-travelling feature "Nikky’s Sequel," where she reopens the vault and exposes one of the Pundits’ reviews from exactly a year ago. What did we say? Was it wise? Regretful? Slightly embarrassing? Spoiler: probably all three.
🍿 And yes, Peter’s here too!
Holding court with his signature blend of sharp insight, film knowledge, and chaotic energy, Peter rounds out the trio as only he can—by possibly bringing Marmite opinions and definitely bringing snacks.
🎧 New Podcast Every Thursday – Film reviews, nostalgic chaos, and more one-liners than an Arnie movie.

🤖 The Electric State
Nikky & James team up to watch The Electric State. It’s a wild road trip adventure as an orphaned teen and her mysterious robot set out to find her long-lost brother, joined by a smuggler and his wisecracking sidekick. Expect action, heart, and a touch of dystopian mayhem!

Welcome to Week 72 of The Popcorn Pundits! This week, Peter & James dive into the mind-bending sci-fi world of Mickey 17—where Bong Joon Ho returns to his signature mix of daffy futurism and sharp social critique.

Meanwhile, Nikky debuts her brand-new feature, "Nikky's Sequel," where she takes us back in time to revisit an episode from last year. Which films did we cover? Did our opinions hold up, or are we about to cringe at our own takes?
🚀 Mickey 17 – Bong Joon Ho goes full sci-fi, Pattinson clones himself, and we ask: does this movie live up to the hype, or is it just a quirky experiment in overpopulation?

Welcome to Week 69 of The Popcorn Pundits—where the films are as unpredictable as your aunt's fruitcake and our banter is even more off-the-wall! This week, we're serving up a cocktail of cinematic chaos that’s guaranteed to tickle your funny bone and maybe even scare the stuffing out of you.
The Monkey:
Peter & James kick things off with The Monkey. When twin brothers Bill and Hal dig up their dad’s creepy old monkey toy in the attic, they unleash a string of gruesome deaths. Who knew a forgotten relic could be more cursed than that leftover Halloween candy? It’s a wild ride of family drama and primate pandemonium!
Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy:
Meanwhile, Nikky brings us Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy. Follow Bridget as she navigates widowhood, single motherhood, and the modern dating app jungle. Her love life gets even wilder when she finds herself pursued by a younger man—and maybe even her son’s science teacher. Talk about mixing up your parent-teacher meetings with speed dating!
Maria:
Then, we tip our opera hats to Maria, chronicling the final days of the incomparable Maria Callas in 1970s Paris. Watch as the world’s greatest diva confronts her identity with the kind of drama that would make even the most seasoned soap star shed a tear—if only there were a laugh track for all the theatrics!
Peter’s Homework – Emilia Pérez:
For his homework, Peter reviews Emilia Pérez. In this audacious tale, a cartel leader named Emilia, with the help of a long-overlooked lawyer Rita, fakes her own death to finally live as her true self. It’s as bold as it is bonkers—and Peter’s got opinions that are as fiery as a Mexican hot sauce!

Welcome to Week 68 of The Popcorn Pundits! This week, we've got a wildly eclectic lineup that's sure to leave you laughing, gasping, and maybe even clutching your garlic. Get ready for a rollercoaster ride through romance gone rogue, canine-fueled chaos, zombie mayhem, and a heartwarming tale of a stranded robot.
Heart Eyes
Who says Valentine's Day is all about love and roses? In this comedy horror, "Heart Eyes" has been wreaking havoc for years by stalking and murdering romantic couples. This Valentine's Day, love is literally in the air—and so is danger! Lock your doors and keep an eye on your sweetheart!
DogMan (Peter’s Homework)
Peter dives into DogMan, a gritty tale where young Douglas was so mistreated by his violent father that he was thrown to the dogs—only for the dogs to form an unbreakable, protective pack around him. Now, living on the fringes of society with his loyal canine companions, Douglas descends into a state of murderous madness. Is it a touching tribute to man's best friend, or just a bark worse than its bite?
28 Days Later
Back by popular demand, 28 Days Later slams into our review as a groundbreaking zombie horror classic. Four weeks after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads through the UK, a small band of survivors scrambles to find sanctuary. Does this post-apocalyptic thriller still have you on the edge of your seat, or have you simply seen too many zombies?
Wild Robot (James’s Homework)
James ventures into Wild Robot, the story of Roz—a super-intelligent robot marooned on an uninhabited island after a shipwreck. To survive the harsh conditions, Roz bonds with the local wildlife and even cares for an orphaned baby goose. It’s a sci-fi survival story that’s equal parts heartwarming and cluck-worthy!

Welcome to Week 67 of The Popcorn Pundits! This week, we’re diving into two very different cinematic experiences that promise to challenge your perceptions of history and horror.
First up is The Brutalist: When a visionary architect and his wife flee post-war Europe in 1947 to rebuild their legacy and witness the birth of modern America, their lives are forever changed by a mysterious, wealthy client. Can their ambition and passion withstand the turbulent forces of a new world, or will hidden secrets crumble their dreams?
On Peter’s homework front, he’s taking on The Cabin in the Woods: A group of kids head off to a remote cabin in the woods, only to discover that their fate is being manipulated by a team of technicians. In a world where every horror movie cliché is part of a grand, global sacrifice ritual, just how much control do we really have over our destiny?

Welcome to Week 66 of The Popcorn Pundits! 🍿 This week, we’re diving into two films that deliver suspense, romance, and plenty of emotional weight—no spoilers, we promise!
First up, we take a look at Companion, where a billionaire’s death sets off a domino effect of secrets, lies, and shocking discoveries for Iris and her friends during a weekend getaway at his luxurious lakeside estate. Starring Sophie Thatcher, Harvey Guillén, and Jack Quaid, does this film live up to the hype, or is it just another mystery-thriller cashing in on rich-people problems?
Meanwhile, Peter takes on We Live in Time, a heartfelt romance that follows an unexpected connection between a talented chef and a recently divorced woman. As their love story unfolds, they create the home and family they’ve always dreamed of—until a painful truth puts everything to the test. Is this a love story worth investing in, or is it destined to break our hearts?

Welcome to Week 65 of The Popcorn Pundits! This week, we’re tackling three very different films that span horror, musical history, and a legendary TV milestone.
First up is Wolfman, where a family living on a remote farmhouse comes under attack by an unseen creature. As the night wears on, the father undergoes a disturbing transformation that puts everyone in peril. Will this hairy terror leave us howling for more, or should it remain locked away?
Next, A Complete Unknown whisks us to New York City in 1961, where a then-19-year-old Bob Dylan steps into the bustling music scene of Greenwich Village. From forming friendships with iconic figures to showcasing revolutionary talent, this film chronicles the meteoric rise that would change music forever. Does it capture the spirit of Dylan’s groundbreaking genius?
Finally, Saturday Night takes us behind the scenes on October 11th, 1975, when a ragtag group of comedians and writers were about to change television forever. Witness the intense 90 minutes leading up to the first broadcast of Saturday Night Live (1975) and get a glimpse of the chaos, creativity, and comedic magic that shaped an American institution.
