So grab some popcorn and let'sjump into this week's movie. Let's
talk about Glass Onion andKnives Out Mystery. So this was my
choice. So I'll go for. I'lldo the stats first. So in part one,

(01:03):
this is. This is part one, thediagnostics. We cover the movie stats.
Then we look at the synopsisand we compare it to our own. We
give you the movie in anutshell, spoiler free, and then
we take a brief look at someratings and reviews. So let's look
at the stats. So it'savailable to watch on Netflix in
the UK and the US it wasreleased in December 22nd. It is
a PG13. It's 139 minutes. It'sclassed as a mystery comedy. Stars

(01:28):
Daniel Craig, Edward Norton,Janelle Monet, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie
Odom, Kate Hudson, DaveBautista. It was directed by Rhiannon
Johnson, written by RianJohnson, music by Nathan Johnson,
all the Johnsons.
Wow.
Budget was not publiclyreleased. It took 15 million in a
limited theatrical release andthen it went straight to streaming.
Okay, so the synopsis. Do minefirst. Then we'll read out the official

(01:52):
one. Detective Benoit Blanc isthrust into solving a murder mystery
on a tech billionaire'sprivate Greek island when a reunion
with friends takes a deadly turn.
Yeah, that's valid. Yeah, good.
Mysterious.
Mine's always less.
Yours could be on the posteralmost, I feel.
Is that short?
Yeah, that's good.
Okay. The official one's alittle bit longer. During a Covid
9 pandemic, tech billionaireMiles Braun invites his close friends

(02:16):
for a getaway on his privateGreek island. Among the guests is
the renowned detective BenoitBlanc. What begins as a playful retreat
quickly turns into a complexweb of secrets, lies. Secrets analyze
when a real murder occurs andBlanc must untangle the threads to
reveal the true culprit.
Yeah, that's valid.
It does give away quite a lot.
I was gonna say there's a fewMore spoilers in there. But still,

(02:37):
you'd expect a murder in amurder mystery type film, but we
prefer yours, obviously.
Yeah. Thanks much.
Cool.
Right? So, in a nutshell, whatis this movie about?
It's interesting. This wasmade a few years ago because I don't
know either it wasforeshadowing like crazy what's going
on now or saw the signs,because it's about what happens if

(03:00):
you let a billionaire who's anabsolute moron fund sycophants and
help their careers becausethey're. Yes. People. And the impact
that that can have on societywhen these things aren't un. Are
not checked. And it's aboutwhen greed gets out of control, really.
Boom.
In the case I didn't make itclear, this is about Trump and Elon

(03:23):
Musk. But before it's on thenose there.
On the nose. There you go.
Totally.
It's a mystery film. If you'veseen the first Knives out film, I
assume you will probably wantto see this one because it's another
Ben.
I didn't even know there wasthe first one. Didn't even know.
Oh, well, there you go. I dolove the first.
What was the first one called?
Called Knive Out.

(03:43):
It was just called Knives Out.
Just called Knives Out
Yeah. This one should havebeen called Just Glass Onion. I think
the director wanted it.
That would make sense.
Just read that on one of thefax things. It says, yeah, he just
wanted it. But then they putthat on.
They wanted the reference tothe other one.
Yeah, Seen it was the sequel.It feels like it's a very modern
movie.
When was the other onereleased? How long are we talking?
Oh, no. Is it like 2017? Iwant to say, yeah, it wasn't that

(04:05):
many years ago, but it feels avery modern movie. I remember watching
it thinking, would I show thisto my folks who like in the 70s?
And I'm thinking, yes, butthere's a lot of modern stuff in
there in terms of technologyand that kind of thing. But it's
kind of playfully looking atthat stuff at times. And it. For

(04:26):
me, it was about excess andkind of. Well, that wrote somebody
up brilliantly.
But it's also. Did you guyssee the super bowl halftime show?
Have you guys gone?
I've heard all about it, but Idid not see it.
So you guys haven't gone downlike a rabbit hole of Kendrick Lamar
kind of?
No.
I end up watching theSpringsteen or Tom Petty one because
I'm rock and roll.

(04:46):
But you can potentially kindof read too much into this because
because it all go. It alsogoes down to casting. But, you know,
you cast for a reason. Butit's also about how this, you know,
not particularly. Or he'sbright because he's manipulative.
But this, you know, notparticularly. Genius billionaire
stole an idea from. From aAfrican American woman. So it's kind
of about reparations. And, youknow, Kendrick Lamar's performance

(05:08):
on super bowl was highlightingrace issues in America. He talks
about a 40 acres and a mule,which is like what I believe, like
maybe freed slaves weresupposed to get or to, you know,
help them kind of start alife. So it's also about that. It's
about whether. And it doesn'tmatter which way you look at that.
Is it a old. We've talkedabout this before with the Wicked.
It's an old white guy stealingfrom a woman who's also African American.

(05:32):
There's not so old.
But yeah, Ed Norton.
Not in this. I don't thinkhe's classic.
He's older than us. EdNorton's definitely older than us.
But as character wise in this,they're not.
Oh, yeah, sure.
He does not. He's not olderthan this.
No, no, no. Yeah.
They're friends from.
He's not older than them.You're right.
Yeah. So. But I get. I getwhat you mean.
Yeah.
To nutshell it a bit, becauseit's really hard to nutshell this

(05:54):
one because it's a complex.You don't want to give anything away
because it is gonna, you know,unravel like an onion as the plot
goes through. But basically,imagine all these people on an island
and there's a murder mystery.So if you're a fan of murder mystery
type films, I imagine.
Yeah.
This would like AgathaChristie type stuff, maybe. Yeah,

(06:16):
yeah. Sort of thing. Like.What's he called? Poirot? It's like
a. Yeah, Colombo. Colombo.
You can talk about the setting.
There you go. It's that kindof thing. But it's done in.
Nosy old bin. Sticking a nose in.
I know. And one more thing.
Can you talk about the sort ofsetup of. At the beginning where,
like these people are invitedto somewhere?

(06:37):
Yeah, we can give you thesetup. And then it's very much you.
You watch it unfold like youwould with any of these films, any
kind of murder mystery. Youdon't want to get too much into what
happens next.
I feel like that's our role,just to sort of set it up but not.
Not spoil it.
Because the start of it's verymuch like all these murder Mysteries
where your characters are setup and they've got motives and they
all come together. They allcome together and it's like, oh,

(06:58):
it's a whodunit. It's awhodunit, but it's done. Again, if
you've seen the first Knivesout, you'll know that Rian Johnson,
who directs it and writes thefilms, he likes to do it in a way
where it kind of subvertsexpectations a little bit. So it's
like a murder mystery. It'slike your classics, but then there's
kind of a bit of a twist, abit like Knives Out.
Is this nothing to do with thefirst one? There's no recurring characters.

(07:19):
It's just a totally different set.
Daniel Craig's character, justthe detective. So it's like. What's
he called? Blanc. Benoit Blanc.
Mysteries on the first onenow, then.
Yeah, yeah. So. And that's asimilar film in the sense that you
know about money. Again, moneyagain, people in the same place.
He comes in to unturn it. Butthen the way it unfolds is maybe

(07:39):
slightly different to what youwould expect in a normal.
There's some good twists init, good twist in it.
But this is also many moreproblems. This is also about COVID
because obviously when it was set.
Yeah, you can see the masksand stuff.
Yeah. But not. And it's funbecause Kate Hudson's character's
got a mask. It's actually justlike a net. She doesn't want to hide
her face and it's. And then she.
It was in that weird momentwhere, like, some people. There's
a room, those people arewearing masks, those people are not.

(08:01):
Yeah.
What's the point?
Totally. But then you'll see,she throws a party. And we know that
in the UK particularly, ourgovernments are throwing parties.
And it's the rich just.There's one rule for the rich and
there's one rule for the poor,and there's. That's a theme of this
movie as well, I think.
But in a nutshell, I'd say ifyou like murder mystery stuff, give
it a shot. It's that kind offilm, but there's a bit of a twist.
So maybe it's not your averagemurder mystery, but there's a few

(08:23):
twists in there which I thinkyou'll enjoy. If you like here for
sure. Murder, she Wrote stuff.
What are the. What are themurder mysteries? Are there like
that have done that would liketo note?
I keep thinking of the Poirot stuff.
Is there any move like movieslike this rather Than series or.
I feel like there is, but thisjust wouldn't be on my radar. But
they're not very common at all.
Kenneth Branagh did a couple.He's been doing some of the power.

(08:43):
Yeah. I didn't think this wasa very like, common, like crowded.
This isn't a crowded genre.This is.
No, I think that's why thefirst one maybe stood out a bit because
no one's done anything likethis for a while. So I would also
say if you'd like the murdermystery stuff, but you like them
very serious. Maybe this isn'tthe one for you because it is quite
light hearted at times as welland. Yeah, but it's also just like

(09:06):
the tone of it. It's sort of abit jokey. It's a bit off the wall
at times.
Totally. But also it's like,weirdly, Harry Met Sally felt like
theater, like it could have.You could easily do How He Met Sally
as a. As a stage play and youcould do with this. But also he.
The budget wasn't that much.He attracts a cast that's phenomenal
because the writing is so goodand the characters are pretty good.

(09:27):
Although I think a lot of thetime the. The cast is wasted on characters
that aren't that in depth. Butyou've got Daniel Cray, you've got
Ed Norton, got Ethan Hawkerocks up at one point. Hugh Grant
walks up. Dave Bautista. Whoelse have we got?
Leslie O'Doom.
Oh, yeah. From like Hamilton.
Yeah.
Who's the. Is it CatherineHayne? Who's.

(09:47):
Yep.
Like Kate Hudson. They'll sayher. Like that's just. It goes on
and on and on. Just. Yeah.
Phenomenal cast, ratings andreview. So we'll start off with the
ratings. Rotten Tomatoescritics was 92 and the users was
93.
That's valid. You're not goingto watch this unless you. You like
this type of movie. No one'sgoing to see. No one's going to stumble
from Fast and Furious to this, like.

(10:11):
Joke on his water.
I just started thinking likethe reveal sequence. It's about family.
It's like. But family. Family.
IMDb 7.2. Metacritic was 81,the critic was 81 and the users were
7 reviews. So Peter Bradshawof the Guardian. An ingenious. His

(10:34):
head spinningly preposterousand enjoyable new whodunit romp featuring
Daniel Craig as a legendarydetective for the deep South. Benoit
Blanc. Christy. Christylemaire of robert ebert.com. that
website keeps coming up.
Yeah, yeah.
Trying to outsmart thisdeliriously complicated Plot is part
of the fun too, but it alsobecomes an unwieldingly process in

(10:55):
time.
I'm not sure what she means,but there's definitely a lot of misdirection.
I think it's a movie that'smore fun to watch with other people
so you can talk about it andbe like, I think it's them. I think
this, that's part of the.
The fun of them mystery. Whodone it, Isn't it? And our dad. He's
now our father.
Oh, wow, he's been upgraded.Peter Travers.
Peter Travers. This time forABC News, director Rian Johnson pulls

(11:16):
out all the stops to delightus with a wicked whacked out who
done it.
Nice.
He's always simple, to the point.
Wicked, whacked out, who doneit. That's good.
That's good. Let's move on topart two of the podcast. Let's head
into spoiler territory. Sothis is part two of the podcast spoiler

(11:37):
territory. So from this pointforward there will be spoilers.
Darren's smiling, so theremust be something we've missed. You
know what we miss?
There's just a bit in thismovie where I think the. The detective
is kind of sneaking around thegarden spying on people. And I think
someone, he then spies DaveBautista spying on Ed Norton. And
that same scene almost is inFast and Furious. I think Paul Walker

(12:03):
is at a funeral, looking at afuneral. And then Vin Diesel is up
on the ledge looking down atPaul Walker looking at the funeral.
That is not the connection Ithought this is what take away.
That's already. What did we miss?
Amazing.
So in part two, which islocated in spoiler territory, we
have what did we miss? Wherewe will discuss what you might have

(12:24):
missed. Or Darren will. No,no, he's not gonna do it this time.
No. Yeah, I'll give it a.
Whether you've seen it ahundred times or this is the first
time, we'll hopefully pointout something you may have missed
or challenge the way you seethe movie. And. And in takeaways,
that's where we'll finallydecide. We'll be allowed to say what
we think of the movie. And intest of time, it can go one of two
ways. If it's an older movie,we will discuss what would happen

(12:46):
if it released today. If it'sa modern movie, it's all about what
would happen if it wasreleased 25 years ago. What did we
miss in Glass Onion? A knivesout mystery?
I think you'd have to watchthis a ton of times and you could
Just pick up on.
It's complex, multi layered.
Yeah, it is. There's tons ofstuff going on.
And it does that thing whereit kind of flashes back to reveal

(13:06):
things and you go, oh, yeah, Imissed that before. So if you watch
it again, which I did on thisoccasion, but I forgot. I think I
forgot because I watched itwhen it first came out, so I forgot
that bit. This bit, yes.
The obvious thing is the kindof Trump Elon Musk thing, but it's
also about how celebrityculture, people who are famous, just
somehow have put on a pedestalso they know what they're doing.

(13:27):
And I fall into that as well.Like, I would love Stephen Fry to
be Prime Minister. Like,that's. That. That would be great.
But you know, that's based.Because he's intelligent. And they
put this. There's this bunchof people they put together and they
call themselves thedisruptors. And it's just like, how
are you disruptive? And he'slike, well, I say whatever's on my
mind. It's like, you're atwat. Like, you know, Dave Bautista

(13:47):
is a men's rights activisttalking about the breastification
of America. And it's not. Imean, it's not full on, like Andrew
Tate, but it's kind of thatkind of vibe. And then you've got.
But he's also like a gamer whogot famous from Twitch. It's like,
these aren't. These are notreal things to be proud of. And actually,
there's a really good quotethat Benoit makes. It is a dangerous
thing to mistake speakingwithout thought with speaking the

(14:10):
truth. And I think that we'vegot an awful lot of people on social
media with followings who arespeaking without thought.
Yeah. They think it's cool tojust talk off the cuff and say whatever
comes out. And they think it'sgoing to be impactful and people
are going to like. That holdsany gravitas.
Yeah, absolutely. And it'sjust because of that, it's. It's
a little bit kind ofdepressing to watch because we. They

(14:30):
all throw each other. Well,they throw Andy under the bus because
they want to cling to theirkind of their, Their. Their financial
wealth, basically.
It's really not a likablegroup, really.
It's like they're all vacuous,like hangers on.
Yeah.
Only there because he's there.
I found this quote on anarticle, and it was talking about
how real this is with people,politicians. And there was a politician

(14:53):
called Lindsey Graham, Senatorfrom South Carolina, who was critical
of Donald Trump during thelead up to the 2016 election. And
he'd be like, do you know howto make America great again? Tell
Donald Trump to go to hell.He's a race bait and xenophobic religious
bigot. And then Trump wins thenomination for the Republican nomination.
And suddenly he's like, I'mlike the happiest dude in America

(15:15):
right now. We've got apresident and a national security
team that I've been dreamingof for eight years. Keep it up, Donald.
What.
What happened? How, what just.And that's kind of this. And it's,
it's enabling. It's thesepeople around you. Ed Norton's character
as Miles Brawn, enabling himto feel like he has, you know, influence

(15:37):
or power or even intelligence,which he doesn't have, other than
being manipulative. So that's,that's. I don't think people are
going to miss that. But that'sa key thing. I also really like the
fact about the Mona Lisa andlike, Miles Braun is, you know, trying
to take it. He's like, I wantto be mentioned in the same breath
of the Mona Lisa. It's likethe Mona Lisa's reputation passed

(15:58):
over, like centuries. You'renot going to do that. You're not
going to take a shortcut toget him to be at Mona Lisa levels.
But what I liked about it, andalso he's a twat. Like, he's, he's
paid to have the Mona Lisatransfer to his home because he wants
to look at it. It's got allthis protection around it, but he's
overrided it because he justwants to be able to look at it without
all the security, because he'sjust above us all, which is his.

(16:19):
Downfall, I suppose, becausewe're in spoiler territory. But that's
kind of the downfall at theend of it, isn't it? That he's installed
that is gonna go.
Up in flames and this stuff'shappening. I saw like some climate
change activists just, justtry and throw paint, I think. Was
it the Mona Lisa recently or.They threw it.
It was one of the famous MonaLisa. It might have been Mona Lisa,
but.
The poster with the Mona Lisa,you've got the Dukes whose phone
is going off all the time withGoogle alerts. Like.

(16:43):
Good impression of Google.
And there's a bit where itkeeps cutting to Mona Lisa in these
weird kind of close ups.
Yes, there is.
And I was like that. What areyou saying there? Like, Miles Bond's
trying to take a shortcut toFame. And he's dismissing science.
He's dismissing, you know,legality, because he wants to be
remembered. The Mona Lisa isremembered with this little smirky

(17:04):
smile, looking at everyonebeing like, dicks. And then social
media is going, bing, bing,bing. And she's like, no, like, you're
distracted by. By. It's like.Whereas it's the Mona Lisa. And it's
like, there's, like a nobility to.
It's pure. It's. Yeah.
Like, I've never. I wouldn't.Like, I wouldn't usually rate the
Mona Lisa, but there'ssomething about it in this movie.

(17:27):
Not sure.
It represents something,doesn't it? Yeah.
Like, it almost represents anostalgic time to. When artists were
artists and we had.
Like, purity is the word thatcomes to mind. Simple. You were distracted
by a lot. We're bloated now.
Absolutely. And it's. Andbecause it's in this environment
where it's all kind ofsurrounded by, like.
It's like a juxtaposition,isn't it? Almost.

(17:47):
It is.
And you go on TikTok nowyou've just got all these people
going, yeah, tap the screen.Tap the screen. It's like they're
not doing anything. They justsat there going, tap the screen.
Give me more likes. Send megifts. Send me gifts. And you're
like, I don't get. Like, whenthey're playing classical piano and
stuff on there, I'm like,okay, I get it. Tap the screen. That's
incredible. But sometimes theyjust sat there, like you say, just
going, hi, guys. Tap the screen.
Why are you watching this?
But there's bits as well wherehe's so desperate to be, like, an

(18:10):
icon that I caught that he wasdressed as Steve Jobs at one point.
And I was, okay, cool.
But did he have a turtleneck on?
Yeah. And I also saw that. Iread that he was also dressed as
Tom Cruise in Magnolia at somepoint. Magnolia?
Oh, the bar or something.
Okay. Yeah.
I'm not sure what they.

(18:30):
That was in these notes somewhere.
Yeah.
And he's a. Like amotivational speaker, but he's also.
He's like a men's activistmotivational speaker in that. And
he's quite toxic, but he's areally one of Tom Cruise's best roles,
incidentally. But then also,the celebrity that they mention is
never kind of worthycelebrity. It's like, oh, yeah, this
is like Jeremy Renner's hotsauce. Jeremy Renner. Like, not Paul

(18:53):
Newman salad cream orwhatever. It's like Jeremy Renner's
hot sauce.
The irony is, I've just readbecause I'm looking at the next Knives
out movie. Jeremy Renner'sactually going to be in the next
movie. And I'm like, oh, wow.That's like some kind of Inception
with the hot sauce there.
It's like Jared Leto'skombucha. Is that you pronounce it?
Then there's a Kanye Westmure.I also thought there wasn't Ed Norton

(19:15):
in Fight Club on the wall.
Oh, my bit where he's all buffon the wall.
Is that what.
That's wrong? I don't mean.
Oh, hang on, I've got it here.Yeah. One of the paintings in Miles
Braun's living room is ofEdward Norton's head on Brad Pitt's
body.
Oh, really?
Fight Club. There you go.
Yeah, well, spot.
Yeah.
Yeah. So it's just. I thinkthat there's a. There's a commentary
on politics and enablingdisruptors, but it's also talking

(19:39):
about, I think, what art isand what culture is and what we.
What we are now not valuing.And, like, you know, Duke's character
is just getting a sea ofsocial media just hitting him. And
he also basically prostitutesout his girlfriend to try and get
information. Information andmake his company better. It's like,
there's nothing these peoplewon't do. No. So, yeah, I think.

(20:02):
I know. I kind of went on arant there. I'm not. I'm not sure
people would have missed that.I just think there's a lot. Yeah,
there's a lot going on. Yeah,totally. And. And then also the thing
with COVID as well, like EthanHawke is like, open your mouth. I'm
going to spray this in yourmouth. And. And. And Daniel Craig's
the only one who's like, whatis that? He's like, just open up.
And he said, well, I bet thatdid nothing. I bet that was just

(20:23):
like a placebo. But it's alsothis whole thing that, oh, well,
maybe he's richer. He's gotthe cure. What? And we all did that.
We just like, oh, you need totake the COVID vaccine. Okay. What
is it? Oh, you don't need toworry. Okay. I loved it. I loved
it when they were playingAmong Us because. Is it brainwise
in the bath? Because he's likea Sherlock's home character, right?
If he doesn't have a case, hewants to go to an op Endem and just

(20:44):
check out. Yeah, he's open.Dem is the bath. And firstly, I also
love the fact he's Gay. Thisis. I love the fact he's played James
Bond and he's also a gaycharacter and he's dating or probably
married to Hugh Grant.
Hugh Grant, yeah.
Which is just phenomenal. Iloved all that. We need to have more
of that. This. The idea of agein that Kate Hudson's character is,
I think I'll go in the pool.And then Whiskey is in there with
her, like, much younger body.So I'll just stay here, you know.

(21:05):
And then also, Dave Duke'stattoos, did you catch them? It was
just a mix of stuff. Like hehad the kind of Illuminati pyramid
with the eyes, but then on hisfingers he had like the Superman
logo.
Yeah.
And then he had like the Chaos logo.
And apparently the referenceto Batman, that really the thing
he does. They put the themetune in the background. I didn't

(21:27):
know really. But yeah,apparently that was in there. You
would have spotted Batman vs Super.
You would have spoiled.
I know, right?
Just that he's collectinglike, kind of conspiracy theories,
but pop culture icons, andit's like that's making up his personality.
I also did love the fact thathe's a men's right activist and then
he says something to his momand his mom gives him a slap.
Oh, yeah.
And she was also solving thoseproblems, puzzles just while she's

(21:49):
reading the paper. So it waskind of fun. Anyway, that's kind
of what I got. What you got, Paul?
If anybody listening has gotany things that we've missed, if
they've. If anyone, listenershave got anything to share, please
message us, send us an emailhellosinhl.com or hit us up on our
socials and we'll read aboutthe next one.
Another thing with.
We've missed anything, theycan let us.
Know with Andy as well, who'ssuch a great character. And I love

(22:12):
that twist. She kind of doesthe Wakanda forever sign. Given a
finger with both hands. Didyou see that?
Yeah.
Like, boom.
Oh, yes.
So that's kind of like, youknow, like a symbol of, I guess,
African American kind of prideand stuff or power. I know. I thought
that was cool. And that can'tbe by accident.
No, the bits I missed. I'llspeak more, baby, from the detective

(22:35):
point of view, which is. Oh,but just while I think the Andy character
and that reveal. That'sprobably my favorite bit. The film
where she plays the two rolesso brilliantly and the reveal of
that good twist, Good twist.When she. When she comes in and she's
just chatting with Benoit Blanc.
Yeah, yeah.
And she's the other characterthat we don't know about.
She's the strongest actor.Everyone else is a little bit pantomime

(22:58):
a little bit.
When it comes to.
She's very real.
Where Blanc is talking to her,I'm like, oh, oh, that really threw
me.
Yeah, yeah.
Who's what?
And it did the first time Iwatched it as well, and I was like,
oh, right, good.
But.
But which kind of ties in withthe other bit that I missed. And
I forgot about it from thefirst time I'd watched it as well,
which is. I wrote down, like,is Benoit Blanc a bit more cartoonish

(23:20):
in this film than he was thefirst one?
It's a falcon Lacon accent.That's kind of.
Yeah, yeah. But. But even whenhe's on the eyes, oh, my gosh, look
at this stuff. But then whenthe twist comes, I'm like, oh, that's
right. Yeah, he's doing thaton purpose because he's like, I'll
dazzle them with my Southerncharm or whatever. So it's kind of.
He's acting a little bit andhe's going like, oh, this is amazing.

(23:41):
But actually, obviously, whenwe get to that point where it flashes
back, it's, oh, okay, he'splaying along. He's not. So. So that's
why he's a bit more ramped upwhen he's like, oh, this is the most
amazing. But the funniest bitfor me is where he solves the mystery.
So if you were watching it,like, oh, who's going to be? And
he's just like, oh, when he.
When he solves the beginning,when the first get that, he's like.

(24:02):
And he solves their mysteryand it's like, oh, oh, that's it.
That was. That. That was areally, really good twist. Because
I was bored up until thatpoint. Now I forward, I was like,
hang on, what you guys doing?
Yeah, so what's gonna happen now?
And then the twin thing.
The twin thing twists it onits head.
Totally.
Yeah. Because when you saw herbeforehand, you were like, that's
her. Then when you saw afteryou knew, you're like, oh, this is
interesting.
Yeah, that's right now. So. Sothat twist was good. And I also like

(24:25):
the fact that he did it onpurpose. Like, again, you see that
in the. When it starts toflash back and forth a bit where
he. He did smash his mysteryon purpose just to kind of put him
off guard and everything else.So the bits missed. What did we miss?
I think the kind of revealedto Us as we go through it. And like
Darren said, you then it doesdo flashbacks. It's very clever with

(24:48):
the way it flashbacks andmakes you work to keep up with it.
Yeah. And you're like, oh, ofcourse I missed that before. I missed
that before. So you kind ofsee what you missed and definitely
out a little bit.
One of the movies that's maybewant to watch it again the most just
because you watching it,watching the first part again, knowing
what you know from the second half.
Well, I remembered the mainheadline bits, but it's a couple.

(25:08):
I watched him when it firstcame out. So what was that?
20, 20, 22.
2022. So I watched it two,three years ago and I remember the
headline bits, I remember theexplosion bits at the end and stuff,
but I couldn't remember thesubtle way it flashed back and forth
and things. So there wasthings I'd missed from last time
I watched as well. So what didyou miss, folks? Or did you catch

(25:29):
all of the clues?
I know I keep going on aboutthe. Because I've gone down a rabbit
hole. Kendrick Lamar, like, Ireally, really have.
For me, this is the sectionwhere I just let you guys talk. I,
I, I generally, I generallymissed, I do miss a lot of things
and I'm happy for you guys tofill my, my gaps.
The one I missed or I didn'tmiss, it just made me laugh because
I really love Hamilton.

(25:49):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Darren might get this. So the,the guy playing, I can't remember
the guy playing the scientist,Leslie O'Doom JR.
Took me ages to place him. Iwas like, I know you look familiar.
So he plays a were.
Yeah. In Sir.
In, in Hamilton.
Yeah.
And the bit that made melaugh, which again, if you haven't
seen Hamilton, this isn'tgoing to make any sense whatsoever.

(26:11):
But when he said, no, no, weneed to wait to test the thing, all
I could think of is I wantedhim going to wait for it.
Oh, yeah, sure.
Gonna have to wait for it.Wait for it.
What was the significance ofthat random guy? Oh, there was no
see me.
Yeah, it was just misdirection.
Yeah, that was like, oh, thatwas almost the Scooby Doo end it,
wasn't it? Like, oh, it's thatrandom guy on the island.
But it was just like the dudejust wandering around. But it's something

(26:33):
else for you to think about.So misdirection. Yeah. So there was
with the Kendrick Lavarperformance, there's a bit where
he looks straight into thecamera and says, hey, Drake. Which
is now a Meme that everyone'sgoing to have seen. And I felt I
was getting that energy fromMona Lisa because it would be like
something would go on, especially.
When it was burning. Yeah, youthink her face is changing?
But stuff would happen and wewould cut to Mona Lisa for a reaction

(26:56):
and I'm like, why are welooking at this? But also, Serena
Williams got annihilated fordoing this Crip walk dance at Wimbledon
when she won.
I saw the clip of that. Shelooked like she was on it.
Yeah, totally. Anyway, soKendrick Lamar brings her back to
do that walk and the superbowl halftime. And she also used
to date Drake. So all that'sgoing on. But Serena Williams is

(27:19):
also in this movie.
Yes, she is.
As a, like, it's like a. Doyou think it's a big picture, but
it's actually.
She sat there on tv, on the screen.
Are you guys going to pay forme to give you lessons today? And
it's like the level of moneyyou have to have. Serena Williams
just sat on like a video, alife size video call.
It's like 10 grand an hour to.
Be like, george, you like atennis lesson today? I don't know.

(27:40):
No, not right now.
So that's your moneyextravagance of it all.
It's one of those things oflike, wherever you are in your life,
like, you. You don't go intothe movie without like baggage or
point of view. So because, youknow, the super bowl just happened.
I'm watching this movie andI'm. And we're probably linking way
too many things, but it'sthere. I also like the bit where
they talk about her beingsocial networked. Did you get that?

(28:01):
When it was that one wherethey're like. Is it. What's his name,
Miles or something?
Miles, yeah, yeah.
She. He took away the wholecompany from her. He totally social
networked her.
Oh, yes. Using it as a verb asfrom the film.
Yeah, Zuckerberg, you screwedover his partner. Because rich people
do that. Rich people are notgood. I mean, there are good people
out there. We still have DollyParton, so. Yeah.

(28:26):
You can't have the rainwithout the rainbows. No, you can't.
The rainbows.
What I'm saying is it's notall rich people.
My favorite line, which mademe laugh, I wrote down because it
made me laugh so much, was thepoint at the end where everything's
blowing up and random guy issat on the beach with Benoit Blanc
and he's like, disruption.He's like fucking a. Just so random.

(28:47):
Like, okay, he's so funny aswell, when he's like. It's all so
clear now.
This is just dumb.
Yeah, yeah. Because hedoesn't. He. He kills someone by
using his own.
His own idea.
Yeah. He mentions it, he'slike, they're going to do this. And
then he does it. He's like,you stole that from the.
Blackout thing, wasn't it?
Yeah, it was.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So there'slike the. Like the film itself, there's
very much. There's layers, butthe kind of unveiled as it goes through.

(29:12):
Is it clever or dumb? It'svery clever in the way. It's incredibly
clever. Yeah.
Have you got some facts forus, Paul?
Now, there's millions of factsfor this.
Let's do five.
Okay. Literally, if you go onthe IMDb thing, we picked out a couple
there just as we were talking about.
Stop mentioning that you getall your facts from IMDb.

(29:32):
Yeah. You should just know them.
Sorry. I mean, I get them from my.
Brain, most interesting andlesser known ones, and say, it's
all your work.
Sometimes I know them,sometimes I don't. With this one,
I knew nothing.
But he's gone to great lengthsand hours and hours of research to
get every single fact. He hasnot just gone to IMDb and looked
at all the facts.
I would never have done that.But just before I forget, though,

(29:53):
I think the set design wasincredible on. On the actual island.
Everything. Anyway, facts ofthe day.
Was it a set? Was it? Or wasit an actual island?
I think most of it was a set.
Wow. But it looks like some ofthe external shots.
Yes. Oh, here we go. This iswhat we're talking about before.
Edward Norton's look in theflashback scene at the Glass Onion

(30:14):
bar when Andy introduces Milesto the group is based on Tom Cruise's
look in Magnolia. So that'sthe scene that we were on about before.
Got that? Yeah.
Daniel Craig worked with adialect coach to regain familiar
familiarity with BenoitBlanc's distinctive New Orleans accent.
But he did consider at onepoint having a different accent in

(30:35):
every Knives out movie withoutany explanation whatsoever. But they
acted against that becausethey thought it might be a bit too
crazy. The title Glass Onionrefers to the Beatles song from the
White Album. The song isenigmatic, teasing various myths
about the band by the band,specifically John Lennon who wrote
it, thus fitting in as mysteryfilm. As the mystery film title,

(30:59):
Knives out was also titledafter a song, specifically the song
by Radiohead from their albumAmnesiac. So. So the title of the
album is about the OnionLayers. So if you know that song.
No.
But a glass onion has nolayers. Nothing to peel back. That's
deep, shallow, transparent.

(31:19):
I hand pick the best.
Okay. On to takeaways. Asalways. I usually go to. You down
first.
Yeah.
What do you think?
Like I said earlier, 40minutes in, I was a bit sedated,
a bit bored. There was acouple of twists. I was like, I can
see what you're doing here.You're doing a good job. I thought
that Andy's character was themost interesting. That was. And there's

(31:41):
some interesting meaning, butit just wasn't for me. I'm not great
with movies. I need someonelike, cool that I can kind of get
on.
Character.
Yeah. Someone to like. Andalso this didn't really have any
resolve. Like, is Ed Norton'scharacter going to prison? Like,
is he going to be arrested?
Like, hinted that he might be,but not really.
Yeah.

(32:01):
Yeah.
There's no result.
Is Andy going to get controlof the company now? Like, they needed
a post credit scene. I neededjustice, Paul.
I enjoyed it. I liked it. Ipreferred the first knives out, if
I'm going to be honest.
If you see the first one.
Yeah.
Did you prefer the first one?
Probably feel about the same.This one's felt a little bit bigger

(32:22):
because the first one's justlike in a house.
Yeah.
Claustrophobic.
Yeah. I enjoyed that first onemore. I felt like at times this one
got a bit too wacky.
Yeah.
But overall it's a good romp.It's very cleverly written. I enjoy
watching it again. But yeah,there's bits in this one where I'm
a bit like. It's a bit too onthe crazy side, even for me, who

(32:44):
enjoys a bit of randomness,but it kind of downplays some of
the more serious bits of it.But overall I would say it's definitely
worth a watch. Well writtenmovie. But I get what you say, Darren.
Like, it's good when you'vegot a character and most of the characters
in this film are unlikable. Sothere is that. There's no real, like,
oh, I'm really fighting forthat character. Apart from like you

(33:05):
say Andy and the sister andthat kind of D.
That is the one sort of leadin this where you thought you're
rooting for someone. Do theright thing.
And Daniel Craig obviously hasfun playing it. You can see that.
You can see him relishing the.
But I do think you shouldwatch it with friends. I don't think.
Yeah, it worked as wellwatching it alone.
Yeah. Watching Movies withfriends is good, but.
Anyway, but, but definitely Iprefer the first one over this. But

(33:27):
I'm interested to see wherethey go next with the. Because like
I said, the next one's comingout very soon. It's again another
star studded cast and RyanJohnson's. So I'm guessing it'd be
more of the same twists andthings he was.
Going to say like why, why doyou need to do that? But if they
keep doing a social commentarything that's kind of going to be
interesting, I think. Yeah.Okay. Keep, keep going.
Yeah, I enjoy the film. Itkept me entertained. I, I didn't

(33:50):
get bored and it didn't seemlike 2 hours 20 to me. I watched
it in 2 sittings. I watchedhalf one night and watched half the
next night. Yeah, I reallyenjoyed it. It was, there was lots
going on to keep meentertained. I do feel like I need
to watch it again. Yeah,really enjoyed it. There's not many.
It's not a popular genre. It'snot like an overcrowded genre. Certainly

(34:11):
not at that level like amajor, major movie like that. So
yeah, really enjoyed it andI'm definitely gonna watch the first
one.
I, I think just at the pointin the film where I'm thinking it's
when it then goes to theflashback and it goes to the sister
and that pulled me in againand I'm like oh okay.
Yeah, things like, like whenhe passed the drink to him, he took
his own. He took the drink andthings like that. I was like, oh

(34:32):
cool. Yeah, I like me startpiecing it together. It's cool. That
takes us on to test of time.So if this was released 25 years
ago in the year 2000, whatwould happen?
Dude, it could be released in1945. It would be fine like this.
This is a timeless movie.It's. I mean the themes would be
a little bit different interms of like billionaires control.
Actually I bet they won't be.

(34:53):
You know it's things aboutgreed and power.
Same. But I wonder becausetechno technology wise in this, it's.
It's very heavy on vlogging.
Yeah.
It would obviously have to beadapted online presence.
It would be different everygeneration. The stoics like Socrates
and everyone complained aboutyoung people. Young people don't

(35:14):
remember anything these days.They're just writing it down. They're
going to forget. They're goingto get less intelligent. Everyone
complains. So there'd alwaysbe some, some new technology that
people are wary about.
Every generation blames theone before Micah, the mechanics.
Very wise.
Yeah. The basic premise of ittranslates whenever. This is whenever.
Like there's basic story of ittranslates whenever.
Yeah. It's just thattechnology thing because obviously,

(35:37):
I suppose it could be ascience fiction film in the past,
couldn't it?
Yeah.
If you've released it in thepast, it could be like, oh, that's
where we're going to end up.With videos on screens and it's like
Back to The Future, Part 2.
It could be the advent of anynew technology. It could just be
television. Could be also.
Basically, we are flawed.Anytime we get power, influence,
we do. We. We turn sour. Weuse it for bad.

(35:58):
And. And the mystery aspect ofit with the twin sister switch and
everything, I feel like that'ssomething that Agatha Christie would
have wrote. Yeah. Back in theday as well. That sort of thing.
There'd be less diversity thefurther you go back.
Yeah.
I also love the fact it. Wasit Peg, like the assistant to Kate
Hudson's character. Yeah.
The Bruno.
She's just treated like shedoesn't exist. Like she's just meaner.

(36:20):
She's not one of them. So it'sjust like she's part of the furniture.
Well, he tries to talk. Shetries to talk to Edward Norton at
one point, doesn't she?
What are you doing?
Not taking in anything she wasreally saying. It's like, oh, yeah.
And then she thought that a. Asweatshop is where you would make
sweatpants.
Yeah, that's right.
At least she's all.
She's one of those peoplehired to protect her from herself.

(36:42):
Yeah, totally.
Which a lot of them are whenyou get. In fact, that's, that's.
That's a reflection of now.Like people higher up need someone
to go. You can't say that.
Yeah.
Oh, when she. Keep going. Whatdid you tweet?
Yeah, yeah.
Took your phones away fromyou. I've got an emergency phone.
Yeah, that's true. It's real.
That's a real thing.
The bit I thought was funnier,though, is where she took the beat
before she says, wait aminute, you thought that was a sweatshirt,

(37:07):
but this would work.
This would work 25 years ago.Like you said, anytime. Really, in
principle, it would work.
The eccentric billionairemeets the eccentric detective.
Okay, let's go to part three.So in part three, we have worth a
watch. We have the listenersection, which we still have a name

(37:28):
for your take. No, anything.And then we have next week's movie.
So worth a watch. So this isobviously my worth a watch. It's
On Netflix, it's called Buynow the shopping conspiracy. Oh,
nice.
I know.
No, it's basically about allthe techniques and all the things
that supermarkets and the bigchains and big companies, how we're

(37:49):
manipulated to make us buythings. Some are obvious and some
are not so obvious. Some weknow about and we just carry on.
And some are very subtle. Andyou go, oh, yeah, that's true.
Yeah.
I don't give too much awaybecause I just think you should just
go and watch it.
But it's documentary.
Yes, documentary.
Okay.
And it's just like a lot ofit, you'll go, yeah, they do that.

(38:09):
But you still shop, you still,you still carry on as you. As you
always have some things makeyou think. You go, could I actually
do anything about that? Isanything I can change? And when you
see. It's like everyone doesit. All the companies do exactly
the same thing. It's a wellestablished. Like, what was the ones
when they put. They'll. Wasit. They'll put the price up of something
for about two months and thenthey'll. Then they'll put it on sale.

(38:33):
Okay.
Like half price. They're onlyreducing it slightly. It's not like
it's going down. They'vealready. They put the price up before
they put it on sale. Yeah,things like that. And. And they touch
on the shaving of productsizes, increasing prices, which is
rife. You know, things gettingsmaller and smaller.
The fact that the Kellogg'sbox is massive, but there's no cereal
in it.
And less and less celebrationsin a box every year.

(38:55):
So like on the shelf at thefront it looks fine, but if they
shave the insides of it, theycurve the box in or whatever it is.
You don't see it. You wouldn't notice.
I want to tell them I notice.Yeah, I notice this.
Well, I mean, things have gotso small now, you cannot notice.
And if it's.
Have you seen a cabbage cream egg?
Yeah. It used to be verygradual over us over a number of
years. Now it's like everyyear, let's take 20% off that.

(39:17):
Cadbury's is like, oh, it'sjust because you've got older and
your hands are bigger. It'slike, no Cadbury's. I'm sorry, The
Cadbury's cream egg now islike a mini egg.
I think.
Have a word.
I think it's also. People aremore health conscious so they're
trying to reduce the amount ofcalories. So this has only got this
many calories now. Yeah,because you've Halved your size.
Yeah, we're doing this for you.
The amount of times I see likemeals and it's like enough for two.

(39:38):
I mean, that's not enough for two.
Or share bags of things like.No, that's just one for me. I'm not
sharing that with anybody.
Yeah, I'm sure a grab bag iswhat. Bags of crisps used to be that
standard.
This is healthy because it'sgot all in it.
Yeah, it is.
You need at least four bags.
It's a bag of air.
Anyway. Go and check it out.Let us know what you think. Onto
the listener section, whichstill doesn't have a name. We're

(39:59):
not going to call it the backrow. I don't know if we call it the
Balcony.
The. The fan base, thegroupies, the green room.
I don't know anyone listeningto this. Please message in. Give
us some ideas what we can callthis. Where we talk to you about
you. We include you in thissection. This is about you.
The proletariat, the Swifties.

(40:21):
Damn it.
The question we asked thistime was which movie have you seen
the most? And is it also yourfavorite movie? We'll do. We'll go
around ours first. As I said,mine was before we start recording.
Mine was Back to the Future.I've definitely seen that more than
any other film I've ever seen.But it's not my favorite movie ever.
Okay, mine, I think it couldbe Back to the Future. But then when
I thought about it more, Ifeel it's gonna be gone down.

(40:44):
You finish. I've got. But comeback to me with eyes.
So I feel it was Back to theFuture. But the more I thought about
it, the more I think it'sprobably Ghostbusters because when
I was a kid, I recorded it offthe TV on a vhs. Now, you might not
know what those things are,folks, but we used to.
I didn't record on vhs. I hadthe vhs.
I had that later on, but. Butearly on I remember you stuff to

(41:07):
fast forward through theadverts, but I feel like I watched
that more than any other film.I was obsessed with it. Is it my
favorite? Definitely up there.Definitely up there. I can never
pick a single favorite becauselike Darren says, it changes around
a lot. But it's definitely upthere and I still love it to this
day. I even love Ghostbusterstoo, which gets a lot of flack. But
yeah, so just from thatchildhood memory, I feel Ghostbusters

(41:30):
gets the most watchedpotentially. Yes.
Mine was actually Blackbeard'sGhost which no one's going to have
seen. 1960s Disney movie.
I've heard of it.
It's made by the same creativeteam basically who made Mary Poppins.
So it's really fascinating.You can have like a massive hit and
something that didn't do sowell. It's Dean Jones who's an amazing
straight man in tons of moviesfrom like Herbie and that Dunk Out.

(41:51):
But it's also Peter Youssefplaying a drunken pirate. So anyone
who's seen Pirates ofCaribbean it's like, oh my God, where
does Johnny Depp get his idea?It was Peter Usinov in but in, in
ah, Blackbeard's Ghosts. So Isaid yeah. And it's just phenomenal
fun and it shouldn't be aDisney movie because it is just a
drunk pirate going around.Hey, I know it's a tangent but this

(42:14):
is how good this film is. DeanJones walks up this kind of island
kind of school and got anathletics team and there's an auction
going off and the gangstersare going to try and take over this
island so they can build acasino there because it's an island,
the rules are different. Andin doing so and Dean Jones buys this
old kind of bed warming panand sits on it accidentally and there's

(42:36):
a spell inside a witch did andhe reads out the spell and he releases
Blackbeard's ghost. And thenBlackbeard helps him save the island
and the hotel by helping thetrack team win this competition because
they've gambled on it. And youbasically see in this invisible ghost
running around like picking upjavelins and running with it and

(42:58):
then picking up like runnersand jumping them over hurdles. It's
ludicrous and it's amazing andit's fun. I could quote it all day
long.
Wow.
There you go. Not much to sayto that.
See, I always want to saycontinuously thinking I'll cut that
bit. Oh yeah, make a note tomyself, that bit will be gone.
Should we hear what some ofour listeners said?
Yeah, yeah, sure.
So Danny Roberts, who's a goodfriend of mine from years and years

(43:20):
ago, not soon. Hope you'rewell, Danny. He said American Psycho,
a true masterpiece in hit instory, sound and Bateman's performance,
10 out of 10.
It depends why you're watchingthat movie.
I still haven't seen it.
Are you watching that as awarning or are you going to order
some business cards? Likewhat's going on.
Some people just like thatgenre, just sing clips.
He's a not a good Role model.

(43:41):
So some. A lot of these peoplehaven't just. They've just put what
their favorite movies based onwhat they've seen. Which. Which.
Which movie they've seen the most?
Yeah, yeah.
Lauren Armstrong. Just Green Mile.
Green Mile.
Just Green Miles. Not bad.
She likes to try.
Matt Adamson said. Kickboxer.I love every single thing about that
film.
Oh, Matt, you're adorable. Iimagine Matt's the same age as us

(44:03):
because if you grew up in the80s. Kickboxer. No retreat, no surrender.
American.
I do know he's a bit youngerthan us, but.
Yeah, sounds like he's got a beer.
He's a good guy. And one ofour regular listeners, Genesee D.
Has messaged in. She's put theColor Purple favorite and most watched.
Oh, wow. There you go.
Noble. Impressive critics.From a kickboxer to the Color Purple.

(44:27):
There you go. That's thewonder of movies.
It is. You both have good choices.
I keep thinking in my head ofall these other movies that could
be contenders now, though,like, is it the Goonies? Could. Could
it be something else from My.
Child might be making a remakeor sequel.
They better not.
All the cast are interested ifSpielberg can get the script.
No, let's just leave it. Come on.
This is your opportunity tosend us your suggestions for movies

(44:50):
you would like us to breakdown for the march listener choice.
If you could pick any movie,what would you like us to break down?
It could be your favoritemovie. It could be something you
haven't seen. You would likeus to help you decide if it's worth
your time. I don't think we'vehad that yet. Everyone's just thinking,
this is my favorite movie.Please break it down for me. Which
means they. I don't know, theymust like.
They must like it, so theycan't be offended. If one of us.

(45:12):
I'm not saying who, but if oneof us doesn't like it.
Yeah, there's always that.
Could that be. Who could that be?
There's always that, but.Yeah, then if it's a movie, though,
it's always been on the listof something. I should have watched
this. Everyone else. It's aclassic. Everyone's seen it. But
I haven't had time to watchit, and I haven't seen it. You guys
break it down for me. We coulddo that as well.
Yeah. They seem to come withthe favorites, though, don't they?
Yeah, whichever.

(45:33):
Whichever.

Are we going to check the listfrom the past that we didn't review
or are we just looking cleanslate? Clean slate. Okay.
Yeah, just we didn't get yourslast time. Send it in again. Maybe

(45:53):
we will this time.
Okay, that's fine.
Okay. Yep. So you can includeas much detail in the film as you
want. You can pre send yoursynopsis in with it as well. Whatever
you want to do. But if we dochoose your movie, then we obviously
will break the movie down foryou. We will read your name out and
we'll give you a shout on theshow. But it would also allow you
to give us your worth a watch.So something that's caught your eye.

(46:14):
Be a TV series, documentary,even another film. We will read it
out on the show. The mainevent of today's episode is Darren's
choice of next week's movie.
That's right.
Right.
So how many times have youchanged your mind on this?
I changed my, like, mind. Ichange my mind all the time. And
I also reflect right until hespeaks. Now I reflect on kind of

(46:35):
what we're doing and whatwe're trying to do. And obviously
we try and recommend a moviethat's on one of the mainstream insights
so that our audience and kindof follow along with us. But it's
amazing how many movies arenot on these streaming sites.
I've got a massive list offilms that I want to recommend, but
they're just not available tous anyway.
So I was just. I really wantedto go back and do like, you know,
maybe the Casablanca orMorty's Falcon or the Thin man or

(46:57):
All About Eve. So I was justsearching on every one of the main
devices, be like, show me aBogart movie. Show me this, show
me that. Give me KatharineHepburn. Like, give me something.
But almost there's none.They're not there.
Surprising.
I've got a list of 35 moviesthat I would like to recommend at
some point. Ten of them areavailable, included in your subscription.

(47:19):
You have to either pay extrain your subscription or they're just
not available.
So the one I found, I actuallyisn't necessarily one of my favorites.
Haven't seen it for a while,but I'm interested in it. It's His
Girl Friday. It's directed byHoward Hawks, is a phenomenal director
with a distinct style. It'sCary Grant and Rosalind Roswell.
I think I've written there.It's on prime at the moment. So it's

(47:42):
an old black and white movie.It's rapid fire dialogue. It's funny.
It's from what I vaguely. Thereason it's in my mind is I'm sure
this is the movie wherethey're divorced and this is like,
you know, the 40s. This islike, you know, divorce. And at some
point the Rosalind's characterwho's talking to Cary Grant about
she's like, you know, we'redivorced now. And he says, he says

(48:04):
something like, I think she'scalled Hattie. He says something
like, I really wish you hadn'tdone that, Hattie. It kind of dampers
a man's confidence. And youknow, I said div. Like I'll say that
to my ex. Sometimes I reallywish I hadn't done that. Emily. So
I'm curious as to everything.It's the oldest movie we would. We
haven't gone back before the80s yet, I think, have we? So we're
going back in time.

(48:25):
Good.
Exciting. I haven't seen it,but I do love a, an old black and
white film. So it's exciting.
Is this the first time youhaven't done some sort of link to
the previous movie?
Yeah.
Because from back to thefuture to in time.
Oh yeah.
Oh yeah.
And then you did, what was thelast one you did?
It was the identity, wasn'tit? So was it net and yeah, the net.

(48:45):
No, you put, you chose Historyof Violence.
History of Violence, yeah.
So it's about identity.
So is there any onions inthis? Like that would be really useful.
Any knives?
I mean it, I, I think it'sabout journalists. But that's not
a big enough actually I, I, Ican't remember that much about this
movie.
We don't want to give too muchaway anyway, that's our job for next

(49:07):
