🎙️ The Accountant 2 & Daniella Pineda’s Killer Calm | Directors Cut Radio

Leave a comment

What do you get when you mix Muay Thai, murder boards, and a leather-jacketed assassin with zero fear? The Accountant 2, apparently—and actress Daniella Pineda is right in the middle of it.

In this episode of Directors Cut Radio, Daniella joins us to talk about her role as the enigmatic and cool-as-ice “Nice” in the high-octane sequel. You’ve seen her in Cowboy Bebop, Jurassic World, and The Detour, but this time she’s trading in laughs and chaos for deadly precision, emotional restraint, and some seriously intense fight choreography.

We chat about:

  • Her cold-blooded (but fun-to-play) character approach 🎯
  • Training injuries and Muay Thai bootcamp with co-star Cynthia Addai-Robinson 🥊
  • Shooting a barroom brawl with J.K. Simmons 🍺
  • Why this is a pay attention movie—put the phone down and catch every clue 🔍
  • Her unexpected literary companion: a memoir about sociopathy that helped shape her performance 📘

Plus, we geek out about red-string conspiracy walls and how Pineda’s assassin might be hiding more than meets the eye.

🎬 The Accountant 2 is in theaters now. Go see it—and keep an eye on Nice. You haven’t seen the last of her.

Follow us for more behind-the-scenes takes and conversations with the people who make movies happen.

This week on the Directors Cut Radio Podcast, we’re sitting down with someone you need to know—Anna Lambe, star of Netflix’s new Indigenous drama North of North. You might remember her from The Grizzlies, but in this new role as “Siaja,” Anna brings heart, strength, and a voice that demands to be heard.

We talk about how North of North breaks the mold by putting Indigenous creators, characters, and culture at the center of the story—and why that representation hits so hard. Anna also shares how she brought her own lived experience into the role, and why this project feels different than anything she’s done before.

🎧 Listen now to hear:

  • Why North of North is resonating so deeply with audiences
  • What drew Anna to the role of Siaja
  • How her work in The Grizzlies shaped her performance today
  • What representation means to her, both on-screen and off

Whether you’re a Netflix binger, a film nerd, or just someone who loves hearing from authentic voices in entertainment—this one’s worth your time.
