Andrew and Matt are joined by Carly (@realcarlydudek) for a supersize episode to investigate whodunit in this week's episode dedicated to KNIVES OUT, the new murder mystery movie from Rian Johnson ("Star Wars: The Last Jedi", "Looper"). Have no fear! The episode is split into spoiler-free and spoiler-filled segments, so tune in for however long you feel comfortable!

The team responds to our first listener email(!) and debates the impact of the Oscars' preferential ballot system (Vox explainer).

Then we sharpen our knives and fight to the death over the quality of KNIVES OUT. Important topics of this episode include, but are not limited to: class warfare and immigration, all-star ensembles, and Chris Evans' holey sweater. 

Meanwhile, Matt clears the air about manatees. And we talk some more again about Lakeith Stanfield, because why not? And Carly gets to pick our category this week for Oscar Revisionist History! Finally, find out why Andrew and Matt quit the podcast.

We're absolutely certain you'll like what you hear, so please find Carly on Twitter at @realcarlydudek and her writing website at https://carlydudekwriting.wixsite.com/website.

STEP AND REPEAT is a weekly movie and awards season podcast where your co-hosts Andrew and Matt cover the big news in the movie world and share their reviews of new releases.
