After Brandon poses a philosophical question to Kenny that he saw in a horror movie, they talk about the comedy 'The Maiden Heist', starring Christopher Walken as a museum security guard who schemes to steal his favorite art piece for himself. They agreed that the movie itself wasn't very good, but it was refreshing to see Walken as a normal guy. Afterwards, Brandon reads from an NPR article that Kenny sent him about the sordid history of the release of the movie, and how the impact of the 2008 financial crisis negatively affected its marketing campaign. They close the show out by reading incredulous five-star reviews of the film by suspected senior citizens on Amazon.
