Your accountant might not have "high-functioning autism," he might not be able to take out cantaloupes with anti-aircraft weaponry from a mile out and he might not be able to take out an entire squadron of assassins while never dropping his pocket protector. (Your accountant also might not look like Ben Affleck.) This is why they don't make movies about your accountant. They do make movies about "The Accountant," and that's our primary review this week. Grierson also talks about Kelly Reichardt's "Certain Women" and Antonio Campos' "Christine," both of which are terrific. Then, in our reboot section, we zoom back to 1982, when those teachers wouldn't leave those kids alone with Alan Parker's "Pink Floyd: The Wall." Mind-altering substances not included, unless you count Twizzlers. (We will not in fact be providing Twizzlers.) Timestamps: 5:12 "The Accountant" 25:16 "Certain Women" 30:50 "Christine" 39:15 "Pink Floyd: The Wall" We hope you enjoy. Let us know what you think @griersonleitch on Twitter, or griersonleitch@newrepublic.com. As always, give us a review on iTunes with the name of a movie you'd like us to review, and we'll discuss it on a later podcast. Also, Grierson was bullied into doing this podcast by Billy Bush.
