I like the Knives Out movies. I like Rian Johnson. I like Daniel Craig. I love Benoit Blanc as a character.

The movie's going to be in theaters exactly long enough to qualify it for awards, and I would rather watch a light murder mystery romp at home anyway.
- You should check out Poker Face by a lot of the same people involved with Glass Onion. Very well written, almost like a modern Murder She Wrote. Also it stars Natasha Lyonne, who I am a fan of because of Russian Doll.
  
  Which one?
- I liked the second one, the first one I couldn’t stand. It was marketed as a whodunit but it just wasn’t.
  
  How was the first not a whodunnit? There are plenty of whodunnits with twists like that.
I seriously doubt Netflix will put it in theaters at all, and if they do it will be in a handful to qualify for awards season. When the studios own the streaming channels, there’s very little incentive to release movies in theaters anymore.
They’re making a third one?
OK, I'm going to be the contrarian asshole, because I'm not a huge fan of this series. Or Rian Whatshisname in general.

No offense to Craig, or fans of this series, but the overall conceit, and that ridiculous accent justs pulls me out of it.
