Special episode out now! We watched the new Rian Johnson whodunit Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery, starring Daniel Craig as the gentleman detective Benoit Blanc! We discuss how Johnson both pays homage to the Agatha Christie of it all while also making unconventional and surprising choices, as well as wonder whether it\u2019s really a sequel or if it was forced to be called so by Hollywood expectations. We talk about how the pattern you think you can see is not what unfolds, examine Blanc\u2019s relationship with the people he\u2019s helping, and debate whether he\u2019s become a bit manic in lockdown. We also discuss the depiction of the tech genius billionaire, how being rich does not equal being smart, how money influences choices for all the characters, and debate whether the comeuppance for the murderer was satisfying for all of us. We rave about the acting and how it felt like they were having a blast, praise the costuming choices, and just love the overall design of the movie. Katy shows off some Beatles knowledge, Carrie drops some amazing cameo facts, Maddy compares Blanc to a Muppet, and Mack is too immature for brussel sprouts. We also get into nightmare AI clowns, pandemic mask shorthand, and bathing suit inspirations. Spoilers abound, so we DO recommend you watch the movie before listening! Enjoy!
