This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson’s razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders.
But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place?
Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc’s legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson’s layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century.
