Ep. 841

This week Kevin, Tom, and Joe discuss 'The Amateur' — a spy thriller starring Rami Malek as a CIA cryptographer who turns rogue to avenge his wife's death. They highlight Malek's miscast performance, the film's slow pacing, and various plot points, including scenes of Malek's character using his tech skills to track and confront those responsible for his wife's murder.


And of course - plenty of tangents!
