An Audit at The Funeral Parlor

Recommended by

  • Kyle Smith: An Audit at The Funeral Parlor by Alexander Perez
    “

    A beautiful mix of heightening stakes, escalating tension, building laughs, and the fun and games that can come with a genre piece like this. Mobsters and auditors, severed hands and receipts, what's not to love?
