We continue our date with destiny during this year's spooky season run by examining FINAL DESTINATION 2, the second installment in the franchise of elaborate, menacing deaths. This one ramps up both the cleverness and the humor for a remarkably fun and invigorating sequel that arguably surpasses its predecessor by better understanding the inherent premise.
We're joined by friend of the show Sarah Welch-Larson and new friend of the show Joe George to break down all of the zany, bloody, and absurdly contrived ways that death forces these characters to pay for thwarting him. Along the way, we make some surprisingly poignant observations about how films like this can remind us of our fragility and to not take ourselves too seriously.
Also featuring a Patron-only segment about THE SIMPSONS, Treehouse of Horror XVII, this is a funny and lively conversation that we really hope you enjoy.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
