Episode 249 - Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery

Daniel Craig’s now-iconic movie detective Benoit Blanc is back in the latest mystery bonbon from writer-director Rian Johnson, Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery. This one, as you may have deduced from the title, is the sequel to 2019’s equally fun deconstruction of classic whodunits, Knives Out. Again stacked with an impeccable cast, Johnson’s latest is another razor-sharp, eat-the-rich satire cocooned inside an affectionate homage to the likes of Agatha Christie. Or the board game Clue. Or perhaps The Beatles? There’s a LOT going on here, and we get to it in our very SPOILERIFIC review. As Benoit Blanc says so concisely in the movie, It’s just dumb! 0:00 - Intros 4:20 - God of War: Ragnarok 7:25 - High on Life 13:55 - Grand Theft Auto 4 19:07 - Star Trek Timelines 20:21 - Petticoat Junction 25:10 - Derry Girls 30:19 - Glass Onion SPOILER conversation
