Nothing screams the early '90s more than a Tom Clancy thriller, and The Hunt for Red October (1990) might just be the finest adaptation of the bunch. This week on Born to Watch, we take a deep dive into Cold War tension, Sean Connery's questionable Russian accent, Alec Baldwin's finest non-30 Rock performance, and why this film still makes waves decades later. And yes, we're calling this the definitive The Hunt for Red October 1990 Review.It's all systems go as Whitey, G-Man, and DJ Strangles man the periscope and dive deep into this submarine classic. From the moment Connery's Ramíus announces his defection plan to the epic underwater cat-and-mouse chase, the boys break down what makes this a tight, thrilling, and surprisingly rewatchable flick.We cover everything: from Connery's incredible second-act career run (is Red October peak Connery?), to Alec Baldwin's short but strong tenure as Jack Ryan, to the underrated gravitas of Scott Glenn and Sam Neill. Add in a stellar supporting cast that includes Tim Curry, James Earl Jones, and Stellan Skarsgård, and you've got a Cold War nail-biter filled with testosterone, torpedoes, and tense moral decisions.There's time to unpack the politics, too, the Clancy realism, the U.S. Navy flex, and that juicy little nugget of 1990s pre-internet espionage fantasy. But of course, it's not all sonar pings and missile tubes. The crew gets sidetracked (as always) by tales of sub dreams, questionable airline bear policies, and Damo's beer-and-hot-dog benchwarmer story.The team also revisits the box office and critical legacy of The Hunt for Red October. Was it Oscar-worthy? How do the effects hold up in 2025? Is this really the best Jack Ryan movie? Spoiler: the debate gets passionate, and there's no clear winner between Baldwin, Ford, Affleck, Pine, and Krasinski, but there is a winner for worst submarine hygiene. Cigarettes below deck? Not a good time.With classic Born to Watch segments like “Overs and Unders," "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly,” and a brilliant fan voicemail, this episode has something for every cinephile, Cold War nerd, and nostalgic '90s action fan.So fire up the Caterpillar Drive, crank the Basil Poledouris score, and set your course for one of the most unexpectedly hilarious and insightful takes on a certified action-thriller classic.JOIN THE CONVERSATIONIs The Hunt for Red October the greatest Jack Ryan movie?Should smoking on submarines be an executable offence?Did Jack Ryan seriously buy a business class seat for a teddy bear?Drop us a voicemail at https://www.borntowatch.com.au and tell us if this Cold War classic is a certified banger — or just blowing smoke.Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your pods.

This week we'll tell you about a busy weekend at the movies, including THREE that Jeff might go see this week. We also talked about a terrific new show on HBO called Task. Jeff watched The Office spinoff The Paper, as well as the return of Only Murders in the Building. The EMMYS are this weekend so we did a quick preview of that... there was something pretty cool that happened at the box office this past weekend... and a second opinion on The Thursday Murder Club! - Brett

In back-to-back years, Matt Affleck was chip leader deep in the WSOP Main Event. In 2010, with 15 players left and ~40% of the chips in play, he got it in with aces vs. jacks against Jonathan Duhamel… and watched the river end his dream on ESPN. The image of him walking out — water bottle flying, pain on his face — became one of poker's most replayed clips. This is the story before and after that moment.

Episode 56 – Review: The Accountant 2 (2025)Back in 2016, Ben Affleck surprised a lot of people with "The Accountant", a sleek, mysterious action thriller where he played Christian Wolff, a math savant with deadly skills. That film, written by Ozark series creator Bill Dubuque, had an incredible cast (John Lithgow, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Anna Kendrick, Jean Smart) and a vibe that stuck with people. For years, a sequel was teased, and now, nearly a decade later, it's finally here.The Accountant 2 makes the rare move of actually improving on the original. Director Gavin O'Connor returns, and Affleck is back as Wolff, joined again by Cynthia Addai Robinson and Jon Bernthal. Newcomer Daniela Pineda (playing Lena) is a total standout. One change this time around: the character of Justine (Christian's mysterious associate) is now played by Allison Robinson, taking over voice and on screen duties from Allison Wright. And it works.While the first movie had a haunting score by Mark Isham, this sequel switches gears with a fresh and impressive score by Bryce Dessner. The vibe is a little different, but it still pulls you into Wolff's world.There's a planned third film to complete the trilogy, and both O'Connor and Affleck have hinted at wanting Anna Kendrick back for that one. Fingers crossed."The Accountant 2" is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.We've got more episodes, reviews, and recommendations coming your way. If you're enjoying the show, please leave a review, it really helps the podcast.Thanks for listening, and enjoy the movie.Correction: In the audio, the character of Lena is mistakenly said to be played by Daniela Melchior. The role is actually played by Daniela Pineda.

Encore! Encore! - This summer we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes. What better way to escape the heat than watching cowboy gunfights across desert expanses! Join us for Episode 4: "The Best of the West" Redford and Newman, nowdays those names go together like Damon and Affleck, but there was a time, not so long ago when the first real Bromance team almost didn't happen… and did you know one of the iconic American Westerns was directed by an Italian auteur? Get ready for some gun-slinging and some hit song singin'... To find out more about this and past episodes' movies, including trivia and other fun facts, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website. 

On the docket, indie fave Kevin Smith's Dogma from that year of years: 1999. Will Joe & Adam still be charmed by its cheeky script and edgy subject matter… or will they think it's fairly dated and very baggy? Affleck's great in it, that's for certain. There's also Smith's wider filmography to chat about and the inevitable Nolan sidebar. Got a film you forgot you forgot? Hit us up at moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com with your thoughts, episode suggestions, or just some light praise. The best Forgot You Forgot offerings make it onto the sacred Communal List - one will get picked soon! You can also follow Adam @errorofways on Letterboxd and Instagram; on one he rates and reviews the films he watches, on the other he posts collages and the odd video. Also, be a pal: tell your chums, rate us, review us, shout our name into the void - whatever helps spread the word.

Could a move like Kevin Smith's Dogma (1999) be made today? With its religious themes and discussion, add to the extensive cast, it would be a challenge to re-create the ideas that Smith had over 25 years ago. Much research and thought went into creating a movie that would tests existing thoughts while trying to have a conversation on taboo topics.

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we sometimes talk about movie stars! We sometimes talk about movie directors! Today, we talk about both! Specifically, the B-Sides of the Mission: Impossible franchise. It's just Conor and I today folks, waxing poetic on Tom Cruise's legendary franchise and the B-Sides that we were inspired to discuss. We've chosen one for each of the Mission movies. It's also July 3rd on the day this episode is published, so happy 63rd birthday Tom Cruise! For the first Mission: Impossible, we speak on The Avengers from 1998. An adaptation of the popular British television series from the ‘60s, director Jeremiah S. Chechik's film was dismantled in post-production, slashed to ribbons following bad test screenings. The final product runs well under ninety minutes and is hard to understand. It sits on the other end of blockbusters in the ‘90s adapted from hit televisions from yesteryear. We also discuss the last five films Sean Connery made (animated film Sir Billi not included), as well as the ones he turned down. For Mission: Impossible II, we chose another John Woo American motion picture: Paycheck, starring Ben Affleck and The Avengers star Uma Thurman. This is a true B-Side, and the beginning of Affleck's now-infamous lost half-decade as a fledgling movie star. For Mission: Impossible III, we return to television inspiration. In honor of director J.J. Abrams, Conor and I go long on No Man's Land, one of the first produced screenwriting credits of Dick Wolf, who would go on to create the, ahem, Law & Order universe of shows. This Charlie Sheen/ D.B Sweeney vehicle walked so Point Break and The Fast and the Furious could run. There's chatter about David Ayer, that scene from Fire in the Sky, and how Charlie Sheen is always better when he plays the villain. For Ghost Protocol, we debate the Brad Bird B-Side Tomorrowland. We discuss libertarianism (for like two minutes) and the misbegotten message of the George Clooney blockbuster. For Rogue Nation we honor the Hitchcock homage of the opening and discuss one of Hitch's most underrated films: Topaz. Truly a can't-miss picture, which spurns a talk about the ideal Hitchcock leading man. For Fallout, there's Michael Mann's Blackhat. We appreciate the still underseen hacker epic, and make the claim that Chris Hemsworth is the best movie star of the original Avengers (Marvel this time, not British) not named Robert Downey Jr. For Dead Reckoning Part 1, Conor goes long on Hayao Miyazaki's Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro, from the little yellow car to the action to the animation. And, finally, for The Final Reckoning, we celebrate John Sturges' Ice Station Zebra. The second act of the final film in the series is a reimagining of sorts of the 1968 submarine epic, with way more stunts and underwater photography. There's also mention of the Billy Crystal 1997 Oscars opening, this lovely promo for the Albert Brooks movie Mother (ok it's not mentioned I just love it), and the Oliver Stone episode of the Light the Fuse podcast.

At LONG LAST Tara & John join forces with Greg forThe Accountant 2 Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Analysis, & Spoiler Review!! When former FinCEN director Raymond King (J.K. Simmons, Whiplash, Spider-Man) is found dead with the message “FIND THE ACCOUNTANT” scrawled on his arm, deputy director Marybeth Medina (Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Arrow, The Woman King) turns to the only person who can help: Christian Wolff (Ben Affleck, Argo, Gone Girl), the autistic forensic accountant and trained marksman. Christian and his non-speaking partner Justine (voice by Alison Wright, The Crown)—a team backed by Harbor Neuroscience's tech-savvy autistic children—piece together King's clues: an old family photo, a Salvadorean arrival in L.A., and a trafficking ring's shadowy reach. Christian enlists his estranged brother Braxton Wolff (Jon Bernthal, The Punisher, The Devil All the Time) in a brutal ambush on a key pimp—one of the film's most talked-about kills—while assassin Anaïs / Edith Sanchez (Daniella Pineda, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Narcos) emerges as both hunter and hunted. In a shocking mid-film reveal, Medina learns Anaïs is the missing mother from King's photo, leading to a memory-jarring fight where Christian intervenes just in time. The stakes skyrocket when Christian discovers Anaïs's autistic son Alberto (Yael Ocasio) is held at a Juárez camp destined for a mass grave. In a pulse-pounding raid—complete with hacked Border Patrol drones and a showdown against enforcer Cobb (Grant Harvey, Buzzcut)—the Wolff brothers storm the compound and rescue the children in one of 2025's standout action set-pieces. The finale in Costa Rica sees Anaïs confront mastermind Burke (Robert Morgan) in a rain-soaked duel that closes her chapter and frees her family.

Do all good movies require a sequel? We ask that question for two recent releases, Den of Thieves: Pantera (2025) and The Accountant 2 (2025). The original films were very enjoyable and exciting, but is there enough meat on the bone for a second trip? Why is it so hard to follow up a good film? Do you think money is the driver, or there is more story to tell?

Por años, los derechos de "Dogma" estuvieron en manos de Harvey Weinstein, alguna vez todopoderoso productor de Hollywood. Pero las acusaciones en su contra por ataques sexuales, chantajes y amenazas abrieron una oportunidad única para el director y guionista de esta obra de culto, Kevin Smith. Y también para Alessandra Williams, una joven productora que supo cómo rescatar el largometraje y devolverlo a su autor.

Degens Andy S and Brandon Bombay can't decide whose car to take before going out and hurting some people, as they talk about 'The Town.' Andy opens up the ep about a drunken family member who lived in Charlestown, where the movie takes place, and how they got themselves in a terrifying situation that went viral. Then the fellas kick things off by dumping on the city of Boston, the annoying inhabitants of the city, and the grating accent that makes everyone sound like retahhds. There's also deep talks about the attractiveness of Ben Affleck — who is next level yoked for his role as a sober bank thief — and Blake Lively, who captured our hearts with her trailer trash chic portrayal that did little to mask just how beautiful she actually is. Of course we have to mention Jeremy Renner's loose cannon Gem, who deservedly gets all the love. It's a damn fine movie that falls short of masterpiece territory thanks to committing too much time to a love story no one cares about, and some clunky dramatic beats such as Affleck's character relapsing and choosing to do so in an abandoned bus. Check out the ep, it'll have you more excited than seeing shirtless juiced out Affleck doing pull ups.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (05/29/2025): 3:05pm- In a hidden video interview conducted by Project Veritas, Vice Chair of the Democratic National Committee David Hogg and former Biden Administration staffer Deterrian Jones revealed that Jill Biden's Chief of Staff Anthony Bernal “had an enormous amount of power.” Jones continued: “The general public wouldn't know how this man looked, but he wielded an enormous amount of power. I can't stress to you enough how much power he had at the White House.” 3:15pm- While appearing on CNN, Alex Thompson—Axios reporter and co-author of “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”—revealed that Biden Administration cabinet members were not confident that Joe Biden was capable of handling a “2 am crisis,” if one were to occur. So, who was in charge? 3:40pm- During a segment on PBS, host Judy Woodruff examined whether the president—Donald Trump specifically—has the authority to unilaterally launch a nuclear strike. Why wasn't PBS expressing similar concern when, according to recent reports, a cognitively fading Joe Biden held the presidency? 3:50pm- Rich and Matt debate whether Ben Affleck has made any good movies—or if Good Will Hunting, for example, is a great film in spite of Affleck…not because of him. 4:05pm- During an interview with Brett Baier on Fox News, FBI Director Kash Patel insisted that based on the evidence he has seen—Jeffrey Epstein killed himself. While on Fox & Friends, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino said the agency plans on eventually releasing video definitively proving Epstein's death was suicide. 4:30pm- On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked the Trump Administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to impose tariffs on trading partners. The panel determined the unilaterally adopted tariffs “exceed” presidential authority. 5:05pm- On Wednesday, the U.S. Court of International Trade blocked the Trump Administration's use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to impose tariffs on trading partners. The panel determined the unilaterally adopted tariffs “exceed” presidential authority. BREAKING NEWS: A federal appeals court is—at least temporarily—preserving the tariffs. 5:20pm- In a series of articles published over the weekend, The New York Times examined the Democrat Party's continued struggles appealing to the American electorate. Shane Goldmacher writes that Democrats “are still searching for the path forward”—noting that the party spent $20 million studying their “erosion” of support with “young men” specifically. In another article, Goldmacher—alongside June Kim and Christine Zhang—evaluate “how Donald Trump has remade America's political landscape.” They document that 435 counties across the country became more “Democratic” from 2012 and 2024—however, 2,678 counties became more “Republican.” Further complicating matters is the 2030 census which is expected to cause comfortably blue states to lose electoral votes as citizens move to red states.

I can't stress to you enough how much power he had at the White House.” 3:15pm- While appearing on CNN, Alex Thompson—Axios reporter and co-author of “Original Sin: President Biden's Decline, Its Cover-up, and His Disastrous Choice to Run Again”—revealed that Biden Administration cabinet members were not confident that Joe Biden was capable of handling a “2 am crisis,” if one were to occur. So, who was in charge? 3:40pm- During a segment on PBS, host Judy Woodruff examined whether the president—Donald Trump specifically—has the authority to unilaterally launch a nuclear strike.

For this week's main podcast review, Joselyn Safadi, Giovanni Lago, Megan Lachinski, Will Mavity, and I are reviewing and discussing the latest film from Gavin O'Connor, "The Accountant 2," starring Ben Affleck, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Daniella Pineda & J. K. Simmons. It's been nine years since the release of "The Accountant," and the film has garnered quite a following since then. Now, the creative forces behind that film are finally back to give us a more entertaining sequel that leans on the brother relationship between Chris and Braxton, allowing Affleck and Bernthal to charm audiences and simultaneously kick human traffickers' asses. What did we think of the story, performances, humor, and action? Please tune in as we touch upon these points and more in our SPOILER-FILLED review. Thank you for listening, and enjoy!

It's the seventy-fifth episode of On The List with Brett Gursky. This week's guest Grant Harvey talks all about his new movie “The Accountant 2”, in which he stars opposite Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal. Grant shares behind-the-scenes stories from the making of the movie- Everything from how he got the role of “Cobb” to what it was like working with Affleck, Bernthal, and director Gavin O'Connor.

Ben Affleck steps out at his movie premier with J.Lo's kids, and we're loving this Hollywood blended family moment. We love a blended family. A Star Wars-themed Vegas wedding proves geeky ceremonies are in. We mark the 119th anniversary of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake and dive into big science stories: Neil deGrasse Tyson finally weighs in on Mars vs. Earth, possible alien life on a distant planet, and genetically engineered super horses. Plus, Roblox and Discord face new scrutiny over child safety concerns — here's what parents need to know.

It's Tax Day, and we're celebrating the fiscal cycle with a movie that gets physical. A film that puts the “internal” from “internal injuries” in the Internal Revenue Service. The flick that proves pocket protectors can be cool and no one will make fun of you for wearing them if you also carry a really big gun. Ben Affleck stars, the same year he donned the Bat-Mantle in Batman V Superman, alongside Jon Bernthal, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, Jean Smart, and Jeffrey Tambor. In the film, Affleck plays an autistic CPA who is also a master assassin. Written by Ozark creator Bill Dubuque and directed by Gavin O'Connor, the film rightly drew criticism for “cripface” - casting a non-disabled actor to play a person with a disability - the film performed well at the box office and earned a sequel, which premiered last month at SXSW and goes wide later this month. But when the bill comes due, is The Accountant merely a paint-by-numbers affair, is it guilty of fraud, or does it add up to more than the sum of its parts?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
