Lightyear Entertainment has detailed its upcoming Blu-ray releases of Ray McKinnon's comedies Randy and the Mob (2007) and The Accountant (2001). The two releases are scheduled to arrive on the market on April 7.
Description: Though Georgia is known as the "Peach State," two of its most celebrated exports may well be actors Ray McKinnon (Rectify, Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy, O Brother, Where Art Thou?) and Walton Goggins (The White Lotus, The Righteous Gemstones, Justified, The Hateful Eight).
Friends since meeting on the 1990 NBC television film Murder in Mississippi, McKinnon and Goggins -- along with McKinnon's wife, the late Lisa Blount (An Officer and a Gentleman) -- forged one of independent cinema's most distinctive creative partnerships. Their collaboration yielded two enduring cult favorites: the 2002 Academy Award®-winning short film THE ACCOUNTANT, and the 2007 "big-hearted screwball Southern comedy" (Creative Loafing), RANDY & THE MOB.
This April, after meticulous restorations from the original film elements, Lightyear Entertainment brings both films to Blu-ray for the very first time in special Collector's Editions. Each title will be available individually, with RANDY & THE MOB featuring over 60 minutes of bonus material including THE ACCOUNTANT.
RANDY & THE MOB
Good ol' boy Randy Pearson (McKinnon) is in deep trouble. The IRS is circling. Gangsters want their money. And the only people left in his corner are his long-suffering wife (Blount) and his estranged gay twin brother. Enter Tino Armani (Goggins), a mob fixer with impeccable fashion sense, gourmet Italian tastes, and a strangely prophetic worldview. What follows is a madcap Southern caper that blends redemption, farce, and spiritual reckoning in equal measure that had critics and audiences alike praising its offbeat charm.
Part shaggy-dog crime comedy, part meditation on forgiveness and grace, RANDY & THE MOB has grown into a cult favorite, especially among fans of McKinnon and Goggins' later film and television work where their fascination with flawed, spiritually searching Southern characters would continue to flourish.
Directed, co-written, and co-produced by McKinnon, who also starred and starring Goggins who also co-produced, the film features an ensemble cast including Lisa Blount, Tim DeKay (Bosch: Legacy, Oppenheimer, White Collar), Bill Nunn (Sirens, Spider Man 3), Paul Ben-Victor (Nobody Wants This, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, The Chosen), and a memorable special appearance by Burt Reynolds.
Special Features and Technical Specs:
Written and directed by McKinnon and produced by Blount and Goggins, THE ACCOUNTANT won the 2002 Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short Film -- a breakthrough moment that placed the trio firmly on the map.
Set in the rural South, brothers Tommy (Walton Goggins) and David O'Dell (Eddie King) are in desperate financial straits, so they call in an expert. A mysterious chain-smoking accountant (Ray McKinnon) with a knack for numbers and a fondness for beer arrives – not just to save the family farm, but to stop a national conspiracy and save a way of life. With its spare storytelling, spiritual undertones, and deep compassion for working-class characters, the short announced McKinnon as a filmmaker of rare emotional precision, and it was called "a true discovery" (Indiewire), "hysterical as it is haunting" (Film Threat) and "a clever blend of wit and social criticism" (Movie Maker). The Oscar® win marked a significant milestone for independent Southern filmmakers at the time and helped launch a creative partnership that would resonate across film and television for decades.
With their reputations now cemented through acclaimed performances in prestige television and film, McKinnon and Goggins' early collaborations feel newly essential -- a glimpse into the creative roots of two of the South's most distinctive storytelling voices. And for longtime fans and collectors alike, Lightyear Entertainment's newly restored Blu-ray editions offer the definitive home-video presentation of two films that blend humor, heart, faith, and folly in true American fashion.
