Starting point is 00:13:24 Miles is one of these weekend reunions every year Some nutso invitations, some extravagant trip I want one of those kind of friends Excuse me, I love your exit, I just had to try it His daughter is in Stranger Things. What is this material? I love that. Ethan Hawk.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Ethan Hawk, thank you. God dang it. I always base on Ethan's name. Yeah, who did you first say? I said Edward Norton. Oh, yeah. Because I saw Edwards face on when we were about the best play. I was like, no way.

One legal move and cut her out completely. Oh, wow. But he's still invulnerative to this weekend? The question isn't why did she come?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Why did she show us? Yeah, exactly. I'm thinking the same thing. That would be so difficult to like continue on with life in a happy sense if someone did that. Did that to you? Yeah, pulled the rug out from under you. That looks insane. Oh, is that the name of the island in Greek?
Starting point is 00:15:25 Pichet. Pichet. Pichet. Open sesame. I think it sounds like piece of shit. Yeah, it does. I think this is Edward Norton this time Ethan Hawke is like watching our reaction

Starting point is 00:16:59 I'm Andy. It is very genial of you. I'm fan. I thought the last house in the last movie was, holy crap big, but this one's putting it to shame, a little terror. This is the full reclamation of everything I've achieved up to now. So, what kind of staff does it take to run a place like this? Yeah. Wild.
Starting point is 00:17:20 I send everyone home. I just want to have a normal weekend with my old friends like the old days. Oh my God. Oh, wow, that's cool. Amazing. Dong. Oh, what is that? That's the hourly dong.
Starting point is 00:17:36 You know I got full glass to compose that? Your rooms are assigned by the chakra that I most closely associate with each of you. I know. Interesting. Your biarrhythm monitor is the key to your room. Get settled in, change. Let's meet up at the pool. And then the game begins.
Starting point is 00:17:51 The game begins. Stay girl. You know me, Miles. Let the games begin. I really am glad you're here. She says a lot. without saying anything we have a quick facial expressions oh I love this that's awesome oh look at the scope of this place just on that oneer Jesus that's inside that sphere

I'm very confused. Is this part of the game?
Starting point is 00:19:04 This is just like the other ones, but I didn't send it to you. Hmm. How many of these boxes did you create? Five, one for each of my friends. My puzzle guy barely got the five done in time, and he apprenticed with Ricky Jay. And once the boxes are open and the puzzles complete is her any way to close them again? Someone reset the box. They sent it to you as a gag. Said Miles know he was going to...
Starting point is 00:19:25 Miles is doing a murder mystery. Let's invite Benoit for a Ricky. I've got the pre-definite detective in the world at my murder mystery party. That is so legit. Yeah. It's pretty cool. Mr. Braun, I've learned an anonymous invitation is not to be trifle with. Triffled. I'd love to have you visit me.
Starting point is 00:19:42 Yeah, that's litter reference to the first movie. Grilled to have you. I mean, try to solve the murder mystery if you can. I don't want to to do my own horn, but it's pretty next level. I feel like he's a douchebag, but I don't think he had anything to do with the actual murder of miles. Just my... Oh, look at that pool, dude.
Starting point is 00:20:00 Oh, my God. I don't care if she's oblivious and dumb. She looks great. So cute. Oh, thanks, bird. Yeah, you really make an effort. Well, I figured grease. And no mass, I can breathe again.
Starting point is 00:20:16 I'm more like Catherine Haunt. Maybe I'll lay out for a bit. I'm like none of these people because I'm not good looking. You're the one going on all the dates, Andrew. You pull them in just fine. Coup's parties are memorable. God dang, he's in good shape. I know, Dave Batista.
Starting point is 00:20:37 Catherine On's face, I can't. He's wearing a... Oh, my God. Why with the gun always? He took the gun to the pool. I know Tara's all about taking the gun everywhere, but in the pool. You never know when shit's going to go down. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:20:53 True. Always grab a weapon, but right now it's not really needed. What are they talking about? I love how he's always being observant of everything. I'm serious. I will. You just, you just got to go beg, okay? Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:21:05 When he goes to his room, just follow him and then just do it. I will take care of him. Let me sleep with that. I'm hot for both. She with Madison Client, yeah, or Madeline Clank. There was a time, you know, back when I was the one of magazines. He was nobody. Couldn't believe he was even talking to me.
Starting point is 00:21:20 He said that to me. You're Bertie J on billboards. I can't believe I'm talking to him. He was this little thing in my hand. I preferred that. No, he's not. That's a great reveal. Yeah, it was.
Starting point is 00:21:33 I was not know she was right there. How long has it been since the trial? So a few months. She's so quiet and introspective. I'm going to go for a swim. I feel like she's supposed to at up to this point at least. She's like our Anaday Armagh from the last film, the moral compass and center. Fax machine?
Starting point is 00:21:52 Yeah. Miles doesn't even have a phone. It's really convenient. You know, I have one number. goes to all my fax machines all over the world. Oh, look at this blast from my past. Look, let me ask. Oh, my goodness, hello.
Starting point is 00:22:12 Whiskey's taking her place. Disruptive. What does that mean? Some people think Bertie's disruptive every time she opens her mouth. Just because she's serious. The way his body spots is so good. Seriously, you know about sweetie pants, right?
Starting point is 00:22:27 I'm going to embarrass myself here. You know who he's married to in real life, right, Tara? Him? Yeah. No. From the first two mommy movies, Brandon Fraser's wife. And then the youngest editor ever of Shishi Magazine. Rachel Weiss.
Starting point is 00:22:41 She's gorgeous. Top of the world. But then. Rachel Weiss, how have you said? Then there was the whole thing with the Halloween costume. It was a tribute to Beyonce, but people did not take it that way. I just spent all my time. Oh, in sweatpants.
Starting point is 00:22:57 She comes out with designer, high-quality, comfortable sweatpants. Just as a pandemic hits, she disrupted her own disruption. She made a killing. Sweatpants were perfect for COVID. And look at Duke. You think people looked at him and saw anything other than the beef? Look at his boy. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:23:14 The first influencer to have a million followers on Twitch. Yes, I did. There it is. Ooh, ooh, ooh, deal with it. What about Claire? You know, soccer mom in beige, throwing grenades into machine politics. Yep. Lionel. He didn't wait 10 years looking on the taint of academia to get permission to start pushing the boundaries of science. He just did it. That's what I did with Alph. Did you steal Andy's idea and throw her out?
Starting point is 00:23:40 I know. Tell you a little secret. If you want to shake things up, you start with something small. You break a norm or an idea or a convention, some little business model. But you go with things that people are kind of tired of anyway. Everybody gets excited. You're busting up something that everyone wanted broken in the first place. That's the event. infraction point. That's the place where you have to look within yourself and ask, am I the kind of person who will keep going? Are you willing to break the thing that nobody wants you to break? Sure. Because at that point, people are not going to be on your side. They're going to call you crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Which person is he specifically talking about now? They're going to tell you to stop. Even your partner will say, you need to stop. Because as it turns out, nobody wants you to break the system itself. We're all comfortable in the system. That is what true disruption is And that is what unites all of us Or a good portion of our rather
Starting point is 00:24:31 We all got to that line and crossed it I don't think he blinked during that whole monologue You shouldn't disruptors That was great Wow That was some real red pill stuff mile Andy I built alpha with she believed it Oh I believed you're detective right
Starting point is 00:24:51 Can you spot the other thing the real thing this group hasn't come andy come on oh lino everybody knows who lino works for that's no secret b s nobody would touch bertie with a 10-foot pole because she went on Oprah and compared herself to harriet tubman oh my god when duke got banned from twitch for hawking rhino horn boner pills to teenage boys zero rhino on those pills every single one of you was holding on for dear life to miles brine's golden titty except for her. Each of you, you'll stab
Starting point is 00:25:25 a friend in the back to hold on. That's a good point. What will you do to hang onto your life? That is what I believe. Damn. That was incredible. She's got a very good point. You've got such an amazingly comfortable life. What will you do to hold on
Starting point is 00:25:41 to it? Where are the lengths you'll go to? That was so real. Anyway, dinner's at eight. Love it. Just like the first one of the dialogue is so good. I'm a truth teller. It's a dangerous thing to mistakes speaking or doubt thought for speaking the truth, don't you think? Good line.
Starting point is 00:25:59 Are you calling me dangerous? Well, we'll see. I'm still going to live on that hill that I thought from the beginning it was her, but we'll see. Bird showed me the statement that you want her to make to the press about Bangladesh, and if you make her go through with it, her name is destroyed. Hmm. If her name is destroyed, then my name is... By proxy. It's going to shit.
Starting point is 00:26:21 I'm begging you. You guys. to get her to make that statement it is her only way out oh she in debt like major debt we don't know it she makes a statement she gets a million bucks or something it's the only way she'll get paid yeah we did see him light up that cigar quite a few times in the last movie my favorite was that real shot oh god oh my god i love that they throws it in there my god you better run my girl with Edward Norton. Probably will.
Starting point is 00:26:56 Oh, or he will. God, why would you do that like it, in a wide open window. Do you like this? Everyone can see you. Tara, you want to be invited on the yacht? I say we get a yacht that goes to a place like this. Agreed. That's great.
Starting point is 00:27:19 Love it. Oh, my God. That clown, the McDonald's clown. is fucking wild and I hate it. Is this my Cuban grease? A drink that got us on the no fly list at St. Barts. What else?
Starting point is 00:27:29 Hashtag worth it. She just said hashtag. She said hashtag. Well, in a real conversation with someone. It's great. Hey, Andy. She's a little. I'm hoping it's still whiskey soda.

Starting point is 00:34:53 Take the fall to cover your ass as the main investor. Oh, that sucks. Duke, well, we all know why Duke wants to kill you. I wonder. He doesn't know about that. What? The open glass window, dude. For at least one person on this island, this is not a game.
Starting point is 00:35:10 Like, dude, I do this for a living. I feel like he's just bored, Tara, Edward Norton. Probably. The original idea for Alpha on a cocktail napkin, and I showed it to Andy one night at a glass. Oh, cool. That's where it all began. They tore it down a year after that.
Starting point is 00:35:25 That's a cool photo of all of them. I feel like at any point he can be killed now. Andy used to tell me the truth. Nobody does that now. Not anymore. It's all just fake smiles and agendas and people wanting what they think they're owed, hating you when you don't give it to them because that's what you're there for. Whoa, look at the lighting here.
Starting point is 00:35:45 God damn, I miss that bar.

Starting point is 00:36:11 or we can get drunk and enjoy paradise for the weekend we should probably go to she's writing her name down on the cup Are we even going to talk about the elephant in the room? I just going to throw a blanket over it and push through the weekend. Am I the elephant? Yeah. But she's the only one not allowing Miles to control her life. Nothing about any of this is fair.
Starting point is 00:36:32 Congratulations, now you know. And we all stuck with Miles. What do you want? Mm-hmm. Do you want to know why we did it? Do the math. It's easy math. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:41 My life was taken away from me by someone, by everyone in this room. Do you even know what that means? I'll backstabbed her. What do you want? A check? You want performative pity? You want revenge? You want a slit Miles' throat?
Starting point is 00:36:54 No, she's the only good person amongst you. I want the truth. Okay. I want the truth. Oh, let's go. I can give you that. Yeah, he's ready to admit things. You lost.
Starting point is 00:37:07 So you can go ahead and put yourself up on a cross like some unspeakable crime has been committed against you that none of us could possibly imagine. Hmm. But me, I'm tired of pretending like you're the victim in this game. Oh, snap. You just couldn't hack it. You're the loser.
Starting point is 00:37:21 Yeah, he's a mean drunk. I'm gonna be leaving in the morning. Don't me too. No, we're having a champagne brunch. Oh, lovely. I love champagne. Uh-oh, what's about to happen, Tara? Smile's about to die.
Starting point is 00:37:32 The views on my channel are off the charts. You gotta see this. You bet your ass. Come here. Congratulations. That's amazing. Let me see this. Let me see.
Starting point is 00:37:42 Everything works out in the end. You just gotta keep the faith. Hmm. You feel it? I mean, what do we all used to say? used to say, fake it till you make it and have fun while we're doing it. Yeah, it's happening.
Starting point is 00:37:54 I'm worried. You know, five minutes ago, Blanc was telling me that this whole party was a very dangerous idea. Nice knowing you, Miles. She's a bird. I want a toast to the disruptors. And there's red all below them on that carpet.
Starting point is 00:38:10 Perfect for blood. Miles. On your feet, genius. Oh, God, what? Is something, what's happening? What's wrong? Oh, God. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 00:38:18 But, okay, I was wrong. It wasn't Miles. Is he faking it? No. I don't think he's faking that. Yeah, okay. Okay, he's about to die. He's been poisoned. And now because Andy left, it looks like she did, even though she had nothing to do with it.
Starting point is 00:38:41 We won't know the exact cause of death without an autopsy, but... What just happened? Yikes. Mr. Braun. What we do? Would you call your boat? Are they gone for the weekend? How do I do it?
Starting point is 00:38:53 There's a radio room through there. Has the radio been destroyed? Nobody touched the body or disturbed anything around. Are you treating this as a crime scene then? No, wait, wait, this is bad. Yeah, she can't be here running for Senate. Yeah. Governor Jets off to Greece in a pandemic with a men's rights YouTuber who dies.
Starting point is 00:39:11 Oh, my God. That's a great line. I like her concern for her friend, and that's where her mind goes. You're not saying it was done with intention. But Mr. Cody's death was so acute and violent. My guess is something was put in his drink. That is such an epic looking shot from the distance.
Starting point is 00:39:35 How's it possible? A piece of shite. Pishite. I'm still sticking with Kate Hudson, but I could also see Peg. There is no other landing point. The saver. And Miles' dumb ass banksy dock was set to low tide height. and it isn't buoyant.
Starting point is 00:39:49 It is a piece of shit. Oh. Tampered was it anyway. Oh, it's supposed to be for him. Yeah. He's drinking. His drink. That's your glass, Miles.
Starting point is 00:40:03 I think you did it. He picked up mine. Oh, damn. It's like a shield. I'll pay you $1 billion to tell me which one of them tried to kill me miles that's better than an iPad i'm just gonna silence duke's phone that's a lot of ipads terror it is where's duke's phone wait for it to ding again forget about his phone look oh his gun's missing when it his gun disappear he always has his gun even when he swims which means
Starting point is 00:40:38 we stop seeing it but at some point this evening it was gone yeah we need to find andy she did bump She did bump into him. So that might have been the gun. At first I was thinking maybe she dropped poison in the drink. But now I'm thinking she took the gun. I don't know why. I thought it would be fun to say something dramatic just at 10 o'clock. Help me.
Starting point is 00:40:57 What happens at 10 o'clock? Oh, no. You're definitely going to get murdered now, bra. It was Andy. She killed Duke and she tore her room apart. I saw her. To everybody, just stay here. This is the fun thing about this.
Starting point is 00:41:18 Like, I think it's still Kate Hudson, but it could be anybody. Definitely not Andy, though. I can say that with clarity. Listen, did you take Duke's gun? Why would I take Duke's gun? And why are the lights out of him? What? Oh, shnight.
Starting point is 00:41:34 It's Daryl. I knew it, Tara. It's all in plain side. We only need one last piece of information, but only you can. Oh, no. Jesus. Okay. Was that a gunshot?
Starting point is 00:41:47 That sounded like a gunshot. Oh my God. Got a bunch of suspects. It almost feels like a little bit like a screen film. Like who'd done it. Yeah. Everyone, inside. you're not going anywhere i really i really obsessed me it makes no sense it all makes perfect
Starting point is 00:42:22 sense will you explain it to us then no i can peel back the layers i can take it to a point but what lies at the center is a glass i need only one person can tell us who killed cassandra brand you're not in the bath again are you no oh is this back from them earlier Oh, him. Hugh Grant. I love him. I always died expecting to see Hugh Grant in this film. Is this Vinoy Blanc's residence?
Starting point is 00:42:53 Blanc, is someone here for you? With a box. That's not Andy, is it? Looks like it. She's doing an accent. Oh, my. Okay, I think it is Andy. My name is Helen Brand, and I came all the way here from Alabama.
Starting point is 00:43:06 What do you do in Alabama? Yeah, it is. Okay, none of that really matters. Mr. Blanc, two days ago, I received a call. My twin sister committed. Oh, got it. In her car, in her garage, the engine running. Oh, so this.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Oh. I see. I saw you look familiar. Oh, so she wasn't the real, Andy. You know, she kept a journal every day of her life since she was six years old. Notes for future biographers. And then the day after high school, she shot off to New York and she'd just never look back. Very ambitious.
Starting point is 00:43:40 You know, when we were kids, we goof together and we do this character. Rich bitch. Heavens The dog ate the caviar again And then I hear her doing a talk And that's exactly how she sounded Rich bitch And I'm like, who are you fooling girl, not me?
Starting point is 00:43:54 Did she have any gray coupon? I get the call and I fly in This was yesterday I go to Andy's house And I'm just thinking about What was taken from my sister How I wasn't there for her And I'm getting angrier
Starting point is 00:44:04 And then I just hear a knock at the door And it's some carrier with this thing From Miles Braun And it's an invitation To his private island in Greece for next weekend. One of those little trips she'd go on with him
Starting point is 00:44:17 and his group of shitheads. What can I do for you? Andy didn't commit she didn't leave any note. So I went on her computer and I looked in her email. Her sent messages to see if she wrote anybody anything.
Starting point is 00:44:29 Okay. She sent this at 4 p.m. the day she was murdered four days ago. I'm giving you all one last chance to make things right. You know where to find me. Hmm. And I'm assuming all of these
Starting point is 00:44:42 names here. Bertie J. do Cody, Claire DeBella, and Lionel Tucson. Jesus. She sends that email. Nobody writes back anything. They probably told her to Miles. In the garage with sleeping pills in her system.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Mm. Google said you are the world's greatest detective. Somebody like me. Like Basil. If one was to get them alone, isolated for a weekend with, in your woods, the world's greatest detective. Hmm. It's a stupid idea, right?
Starting point is 00:45:11 Listen, I want to be clear. I'm not Batman. I've not seen your sister's death in the news. Did you release a statement? No. Shit, was I supposed to? If I pulled a few strings, I could keep it from bleak into the press for another week. Right.
Starting point is 00:45:28 Yeah, that way nobody else knows what happened to Andy. Yeah. That's outrageous. I wouldn't. Now I'm just like, well, then why wasn't that death where she dies not fake? Like, how would she not be wearing a vest or something? Yeah. Any feelings of reverence or respect that you had for me when you cross my threshold
Starting point is 00:45:49 buttress those feelings now buttress them buttress. Buttrus. I'm proposing that you come with me to that island as your sister. There we go. I don't know. I'm hiring you to go. And she would know everything because she read the diary. Your presence on that island is the essential catalyst.
Starting point is 00:46:07 Good point. Yeah. Look at me. They'll know instantly that I'm not her. Same hair. Why would anyone suspect you showing up playing your sister When they don't know your sister's dead Exactly we have the element of surprise
Starting point is 00:46:21 He don't know Andy is dead So why would they suspect anything And you'll do the inspector Yes I will Yeah but didn't if one of them killed her Wouldn't they but they haven't heard it yet officially right Whoever did the killing One person will know the truth about you
Starting point is 00:46:35 The one who did it From the moment you arrive on that eye Yeah Maybe Ed Norton maybe that's why he was surprised That's literally what I just said Yeah yeah Helen, I'm not a bodyguard. I'm not Kevin Costner.
Starting point is 00:46:46 I can't help you. One of those shitheads killed my sister. Do you really think we can get the son of a bitch? This is such a fascinating plot. I love it. I did not think they could do it after the first movie, but it's so different, and I love it. Yeah, they're doing it. Loves his iPads, Tara.
Starting point is 00:47:09 You need a drink. Oh, no, I don't drink. I'll have some coffee. No, you're Andy, you drink. Andy's journals. Good, you keep studying them. Tomorrow, on the boat. Yeah, it'd be cold.
Starting point is 00:47:20 Don't engage in conversation. Okay, I'm not great on boats. Oh, you'll be fine. Gromamine. And get used to whiskey and tonic. I have Oliver TED Talks on this thing, and I've been studying. Good. The dog ate the caviar.
Starting point is 00:47:30 There you go. You said that you were going to be researching these folks for motive. Did you find him to be here? I think was Catherine Hahn. Oh, that's who you think is. Miles Braun. to protect him right what about miles what if he's just
Starting point is 00:47:46 did it we can't rule it out because miles brawn is not an idiot she was wearing a ted talk shirt very briefly when she was getting out of the cab yeah but any one of them would protect miles because he's the one who provides them their gracious lifestyle well yeah I already know all that I'm just trying
Starting point is 00:48:02 to narrow it down no no I'm just saying like it could be any of them is andy was they were all friends with Andy birdie was a washed up model oh Duke was a nerd doing video game tournaments Claire just lost a race for city council Lionel was a substitute teacher
Starting point is 00:48:18 All of them run aground in their thirties I love this song I remember when it was in the Martian Who are? They've introduced him to the group This is Miles Their hair is so different All of them
Starting point is 00:48:32 Be responsible for something that gets talked about In the same breath as the Mona Lisa Forever Yeah exactly he said that earlier He wants to create something that's lasting that feels... His first venture was movie phone for foot massages. Did it work? No.
Starting point is 00:48:47 I would have been down for that. Let's see what happens. And things started happening. He got birdie a chauffeur designs. It did well. Got Lionel published. Duke set up at Twitch. Claire elected locally.
Starting point is 00:49:00 That's great. I need a friend like that. And then the big thing happened. Oh, delivery. What is that you're working on? Don't invite him in. So based on the napkin idea, Andy and Miles created Alpha. It blows up.
Starting point is 00:49:15 They bring everyone alone for the ride. Cut to two years ago, Miles meet some sketchy Norwegian scientists who sells him on this whole new hydrogen fuel. Right. He becomes obsessed. Yeah, obviously. And he's willing to give the company's entire resources to launch this thing. No.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Clear America. This is it. No, no, no. This is not a startup. This could blow up the world. Yeah. Literally, Miles, this could blow up the world That's hydrogen, dude
Starting point is 00:49:42 The reality distortion field ends Here, I can't let you do this Hey, he's too much, go boom I'll walk and I'll take half the company To stop you from using it for this And she did it Then she found out that Miles had the lawyers Work the contract so she was cut out the company
Starting point is 00:49:56 Completely damn Yeah, the trial Intellectual ownership of the company's founding idea Her idea on the napkin Which she didn't keep Damn, and he had it He had an idea.
Starting point is 00:50:09 Uh, so he grabbed a napkin. Awful. Right. Damn, that sucks. Look me in the eye, Claire. You know it's a lie. It's a lie. That's disgusting.
Starting point is 00:50:22 Who wrote this napkin? Miles. Miles. Uh, it was Miles. Miles. Man. Well, none of them saw her actually do it, right? Only he did.
Starting point is 00:50:35 I think, but they all know the truth. And did all those interviews about it? A bald face fabrication. A damn lie. And it worked. Mm-hmm. Shit. What did you find?
Starting point is 00:50:54 Oh, she found it. Oh, snap. That's what her email was. What do you use this? With the red envelope. Yeah. Okay. So who the hell has this?
Starting point is 00:51:05 Every one of the disruptors. purge at themselves to destroy Andy and shield Miles Brown Okay Everyone's whereabouts on the night of her death Who could have been at Andy's house that night Opportunity Our suspects
Starting point is 00:51:21 Motive opportunity hey This kind of looks like that clue no pair I want to watch that movie Tara and I should do it I'm scared I understand this is your last chance to back out No, got to get justice for her sister Wow, all this context gives you such a different dynamic when you watch this now.
Starting point is 00:51:44 Totally. Oh, God. Rich bitch, rich bitch. You got to draw me in that, girl. You shouldn't be here. Huh. Duke and Bertie. I think they're on to me.
Starting point is 00:51:59 Now, look, I suspect when we're all settling in, Brow's going to pull me aside to explain my presence. That is your chance to snoop. Snoop. Yeah, we got to find that envelope. Snooping, Snoop, here we go. Do you think it's in the Mona Lisa? It's a good place to hide it. I just feel like that's his most prized possession, right?
Starting point is 00:52:18 Where else would you hide it? Yeah. I'm whiskey. We didn't really meet. Are you looking for the pool? Did you say God? I am. I am.
Starting point is 00:52:24 She's really attractive and whiskey and I'm really thirsty. Andrew is in love with this girl. I think a lot of people are in love with Madeline Klein. I think it's really shitty what they all did to you. Yeah, this is my. second one of these things we did a yacht thing last year oh that sounds fun no i mean when they're all together it's kind of the worst it's only fun when i'm with miles duke just treats me like arm candy and they just ignore me why do you put up with it with two because she loves him i'm building
Starting point is 00:52:52 my brand uh and he's putting me on his channel more often opportunity like if i'm going to go into politics eventually i don't think that's a road i want to go down like she's got alter your motives with him oh here's the pool hey it's really great talking to you with You too. This is good. She's learning a lot. Oh my god. Jeez.
Starting point is 00:53:11 Right, he shot it after you got in the pool, out of the pool, I mean. Two weeks ago, I did it. You signed off on the power plant. Yep. When this thing breaks, poof. My whole base is gone. Yeah. I did it too. Did what?
Starting point is 00:53:25 I signed off on putting clear in a manned mission. The staff doesn't know it yet. Oh. God damn it. Oh. Let's just pray that Andy was wrong about this clear stuff. Now she was right. You put its gas form into household piping.
Starting point is 00:53:35 household piping, it's massive leakage into the air. Jesus. Hydrogen particles are too small. Ooh. I know. I sold my soul for this. Yeah. It could literally turn people's homes into the Hindenburg.
Starting point is 00:53:48 This is why you don't allow people to control your life because this shit could happen. There was a time, you know, back when I was the one of magazines, he was nobody. Was that to record? Yeah. He was this little thing in my hand. I preferred that. Andy. Hi.
Starting point is 00:54:05 Yeah. You're really good at this. This is interesting stuff about whiskey and motives for both Lionel and Claire. Well done. Uh-huh. You know, they bet the farm and will both be ruined along with Miles if he failed. Yeah. But I can't imagine them killing her.
Starting point is 00:54:21 I just can't. You know, they've come to apologize to make amends. And the murder itself, it's non-violent, general, even. She just goes to sleep Hmm Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, I thought you said you didn't drink Oh, this is a drink, this is some funky health stuff No, could you give me that?
Starting point is 00:54:52 That's a hard kombucha Oh, he was I was guessing That's 9% alcoholist, oh, get off, that's how many of these things you had? I don't know, but I feel fine I feel fine We need to find the O's, the opportunities. We got to open them up.
Starting point is 00:55:09 It's time to push you. It's time to push it. I think maybe you should lie down. We're running out of time, block. Hell of them. You're going to step back and let me handle this. Push nothing. It's weird.
Starting point is 00:55:19 I almost probably wrong, but I almost feel like they... Even your partner will say, you need to stop. Mm-hmm. Because as it turns out, nobody wants you to break the system itself. But that is what true disruption is. We all got to that. line and crossed it. Oh, you guys certainly did.
Starting point is 00:55:39 Wait. Wait. No, you wait. That day in court, you couldn't even look me in the eye. Can we talk about the email? Oh, so now you want to talk about the email. You didn't even write back. Mm-hmm. I'm a politician.
Starting point is 00:55:55 Yes, she can't. Exactly. That's why I called. We all did. Right after we got it over and over. Your phone was off. And then the whole next week. Interesting.
Starting point is 00:56:05 And when we couldn't reach you, I went to your house. Huh. I don't and I got there at the same time. Duke was already there. God, this is so compelling and mysterious. I was pounding so hard, I almost broke it down. Andy! Like a good mystery, whodunit should be.
Starting point is 00:56:21 And then after an hour we left, Bertie came back later on to check. It was the same thing. Where the hell were you, Andy? What time did you get there? I don't know, it was dark. Hmm, you were already there. He almost got in an accident on his motorcycle. He was driving so fast.
Starting point is 00:56:35 Almost got pancakeed. Okay, okay. Can you say all that one more time for me, please? But we need to talk about this. If I would have answered the door that night, would you have said, I'm sorry? I backed you with Miles. Or were you just showing up so you could stop me from using that envelope? That's what we gotta know.
Starting point is 00:56:54 Yeah, they're all selfish people. They only care about their livelihoods. They don't care about their friend. Something's off. I don't like it. What she playing at? What I was asking is, do you think it's possible? possible that i know daniel craig and her didn't have the gun but was it possible they staged her death i don't

Starting point is 00:58:15 So do this for me one last time, okay? Oh. All right. Hello. So he's telling whiskey to sleep with, Miles? He's kind of thinking, like, when we saw it, I'm like, there's no way they would do that. I was kind of like, he like being, or something like.
Starting point is 00:58:31 Right. He didn't seem that upset, but. Right, but also, too, for them to do it so out in the open like that. Okay. The YouTube channel's dying. He needs the exposure. Just put him on Alpha News, baby. Just a late-night spot.
Starting point is 00:58:51 And you know he's out of it. That makes sense now. I am building the future of news. I can't have rhino horn boner pill karma in the mix. He is my loyal friend, but I can't put. him on alpha news okay that's the part that really hurts him not having his girlfriend sleep with his best friend oh i love how they're peeling the layers of this onion i'm done don't just don't talk to me wait 10 years there was a tribute to biance but people

He said if I take full responsibility for the sweatshops, he'll pay me the value of my shares. 30 million. Yeah. I will do whatever I have to do to save myself, and he is my only lifeline.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Couldn't I have my secret phone back? No. This just never happens in clue. They were all there that night. So what now, detective? The envelope. Whoever killed your sister? Who has it?
Starting point is 01:00:54 That's what I thought we were looking for. looking for her want him to see what they've done for him yeah true it's here so how are we supposed to find it unless someone brings an attach a case to dinner they won't have an envelope that size on there it's in a mona lisa they'll have to hide it in that room so we're dinner tonight and i'm hoping it's still whiskey soda i said get used to whiskey soda you have to find a way i want the truth you can't handle the truth pick a fight you return to lose we have to find out envelope you're the loser that's the truth let's go
Starting point is 01:01:30 and then she bumps him yeah he still has his gun he still has it he's a son of a bitch whiskey leave his ass tell her but he's got a YouTube channel and he promotes her I would never hang around people or date anyone who was on a YouTube channel just saying that means
Starting point is 01:01:46 you you're gonna have to give yourself a break I know don't worry about being neat free rules uh All right, we're moving quick. Oh. Oh, right.
Starting point is 01:02:10 Daryl? Got about him. Want to hang out or? That really reminded me again of the grandma moment. Ransom, you back again? Just heard the news. I can't oh god shite
Starting point is 01:02:32 we have got to phones have got to be yeah we've got to cut some power cut the Wi-Fi well that's the 10 o'clock thing right I know but that's his plan not hers right we've got to find a way to get rid of their phones
Starting point is 01:02:49 handy I can explain this and then the lights turn off right now 10 o'clock wait a minute whiskey is the party over I left Duke because I couldn't he didn't deserve this he deserved what he got and you are better off without him oh
Starting point is 01:03:07 whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa yeah she doesn't know he's dead yet I'm trying to kill you you crazy bitch oh my god she actually shot it wild what she figured from what she just said and not having context of knowing That she was the one who just killed Duke.
Starting point is 01:03:29 Wow. Maybe it was Whiskey who shot her then? Andy. Or does he have a gun in his hand there? No. They'd look like he had a gun there for a moment. Hmm. Did you take Duke's gun?
Starting point is 01:03:47 Why would I take Duke's gun? And why are the lights out of everything? Did you find the envelope? No. Probably was Miles, because Miles was sitting next to Dave Patty. So he could have taken his gun, I guess. If I can distract everyone and you can get up there and find it. No, but that doesn't tell us who gave it to him.
Starting point is 01:04:03 Block, I don't understand. Please, trust me. It's all in plain sight. Oh, she's about to get shot. And only you can. Ooh. Okay, I don't think they staged it. Okay, maybe they did.
Starting point is 01:04:25 Oh, the diary. Nice. Amazing. He just said it's all in plain sight. I think that a napkin that she actually wrote is behind the glass thing that he said, here's the note. I don't, I think it's actually hers. And it's literally right there. It started with a scream inside a quiet Maryland home.
Starting point is 01:04:52 A mother trying to protect the family dog and her son in the grass. grip of a violent hallucinogenic rage. By the time it was over, she was dead, and he claimed LSD made him do it. His name, David Minor the 4th, and we talked to him. Listen to Invisible Choir every other week as we uncover the most haunting true crimes you've never heard of, available wherever you get your podcasts. Renning hot. Killer thinks you're dead. You got to pretend it to be dead.
Starting point is 01:05:40 Oh, no, give me that. Give me that. This will be good. Yeah. Oh, God, that would burn so bad. Ouch. Oh, shitballs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:05:55 Come on. Lay it up, buddy. This is how actors get into character for sad scenes, right? They put hot sauce in their eyes. Yep, every time. Or is it renting hot? Ah! Oh, I can't wait to watch this movie a second time now with all this info. God, is it going to run into our nose? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Oh, oh, God. Into the nose is so bad with hot sauce.
Starting point is 01:06:24 No, no, no, no, no. Oh my God, that is so hard to stay still for it. Yep, yep, yep, yeah, I feel you. Ooh. Yeah, yikes. This makes perfect sense. Duke, Andy, this weekend, this ridiculous game that started well before we set foot on this hour. This is right where we cut to.
Starting point is 01:06:45 I can peel back the layers. I can take it to a point, but what lies at the center? Only one person can tell us who killed Cassandra Brand. Mm-hmm. How? I keep returning in my mind to the glass onion. What a visual. Densely layered, mysterious, and inscrutable.
Starting point is 01:07:09 But in fact, the center is in plain sight. The note is literally, it's behind a piece of glass. You see, I expected complexity. I expected intelligence. I expected a puzzle. A game. Oh, is it behind that right there? what i've been saying the whole time it's in plain sight it's on that thing that he showed us at the
Starting point is 01:07:31 beginning truth is it doesn't hide at all that's the red i was staring right at it all right okay there we go at the last moment i realized What had teased my brain through this entire case, Embrytheate. Not a word. Can we just take a second and fully abbreviate this moment? Oh, this guy. It's not a real word.
Starting point is 01:08:04 It kind of sounds like one, but it's just entirely made up. Which would mean he's stupid. He would never have come up with the idea. The pre-definite detective. A veritable mouthfield of malapropisms. The infraction point. And factual errors. Asking the sun, swim in the Ionian Sea.
Starting point is 01:08:22 That is the Aegean Sea. Ah, love it. His grasp of disruption theory is remedial of best. He didn't design the puzzle boxes. He didn't write the mystery. Evoila, it all adds up. He's not the genius behind all of this. Everyone in the world.
Starting point is 01:08:39 I assumed Miles Braun was a complicated genius. Yelp. Miles Braun is an idiot. A narcissistic idiot. to kill me nobody tried to kill you your vain glorious buffoon Duke took
Starting point is 01:08:57 my glass he must have picked it up by mistake you told us right after it happened look at that dress bin Bertie Oh he Ah That's what we all remember Fascinating
Starting point is 01:09:09 Right that maybe he dropped something He didn't actually What did we all actually see Okay let's see Look at that dress spin Bertie that's amazing just Just... Ah.
Starting point is 01:09:21 You handed Duke, your own glass. Clear as crystal. Yeah. Blanc, you're telling us Miles killed Duke? Yes. Why? Because the night Andy sent you all the emails, when Duke got to Andy's house early on his motorcycle.
Starting point is 01:09:36 Was he the one who tried to pancake him? Miles? Probably, yeah, see. Yeah. Right out in the open, he told us. Like, iconic. You remember that night you almost Can you keep me with it on the roadhouse side of Andy?
Starting point is 01:09:51 And it's... Oh. Oh. That Andy's... I totally was oblivious to that line. But Miles had been living in Greece the past six months. But he had... Miles saw you on your birthday in New York.
Starting point is 01:10:05 Right. Okay. So he wasn't in Greece. And focus... On the envelope. I know. Are we looking... Oh, okay, okay.
Starting point is 01:10:20 I was like, what? Holy shit. Yeah, he definitely had the gun, and then that shot we said, did he have the gun there, Miles? Right. Who did the envelope threaten? Miles, obviously.
Starting point is 01:10:37 Miles Braun. All of your money. Miles' machine of lawyers of power could destroy her through sheer dumb force, but Miles himself. Oh, she was clever enough not to. Oh, he poisoned her? Jesus.
Starting point is 01:10:56 That's terrible. Duke alone knew you were there that night. But he didn't know Andy was dead. No, no, he didn't know that. Until tonight. Right, because the Google. On his phone, which has now fallen strangely silent, which he showed to you.
Starting point is 01:11:14 Uh. Because you don't own a phone. Duke, no. Where's my phone? Peggy? No, he gathered him. Didn't he say no phone? Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:11:33 Uh-huh. Right out in the open, Duke showed him. The changes things right. It sure does. And told him exactly what he wanted and returned for his silence. Numbers like this. Uh, the alpha news.
Starting point is 01:11:45 All right. You bet's your ass. Come here. And he knew he was going to kill him right after that. Does he keep a vial of poison in his tooth or something? Uh-huh. Oh, no, no, no. It's just... It's so much stupider than that.
Starting point is 01:12:00 Buddy, oh, what are the ingredients of your Cuban breed? Vodka. Amaretto? Oh, God. He's allergic. Oh, right. He's allergic to pineapple. He can do it.
Starting point is 01:12:13 Right. Stuke don't dance for pineapple. Right. He can't even have a drop. Pineapple juice. I put a bunch of pineapple in it. Pineapple juice in his whiskit. It's so dumb.
Starting point is 01:12:26 So dumb, it's brilliant. No, it's just dumb. I love it. And now we come to Helen's attempted murder. Miles. Did have a sound foundation of thawed. You realize you have a house on a remote island filled with desperate people. Mm-hmm.
Starting point is 01:12:48 You have a real life reason to wish this woman harm. True. Furthermore, you have a loaded gun conveniently within reach and the lights that even been turned off. Yeah. And place the idea of your murder in their heads. It's like putting a loaded gun on the table and turning off the lights. Literally called it. Foreshadowed it.
Starting point is 01:13:18 One murder with any Pannash at all And you stole the whole idea from me Thank God for that diary Totally And after all that you You still kept the envelope You didn't burn it or anything You really are an idiot
Starting point is 01:13:45 Andy's handwriting Mm-hmm. I got you, son of a bitch. Oh, let's slow down there, sister. Mm-hmm. How could you ever prove that that's the original? The bar closed nine years ago, and hers has one thing that George just doesn't. Uh, there's some brand that's out of...
Starting point is 01:14:04 Love that. I did notice that right when she was just showing it a moment ago. But second. Shit. What? That sucks. Burned what? I didn't see anything.
Starting point is 01:14:16 You burned it. I'm making toast? This will not stand. Huh. Well, did you see this proof? This smoking napkin block? Please tell me someone's recording this, Tara. Did anybody?
Starting point is 01:14:28 He controls all their lives. This is the problem. Probably is. Wow, we got some big accusations flying around here. Except everybody seems to have very foggy recollection of what they actually saw. I'm hoping someone recorded. So, if this was just us playing my memory, murder mystery game, which we should have been doing all weekend.
Starting point is 01:14:52 Blanc wins an iPad Pro this time. In the real world, you need more than a neat little detective story. You need evidence, and you've got nothing. I want to know what's behind that Mona Lisa painting. Yeah, it's got to be something. Too much significance. Contents of that envelope and his possession of it were our only physical evidence. Right.
Starting point is 01:15:16 Doesn't that thing control it? Right? You want to take that to the cops? So, no, it's the... It's the... It's the... It's on a stand. I thought it closed it.
Starting point is 01:15:25 Anywhere you go, it's going to be your word against mine. How do you think that's going to go? I think it's going to go about like it went for Andy. Ooh. There has to be something in that. Nobody's stepping up.
Starting point is 01:15:38 Diary. I mean, they don't make their living. Right. I saw him that night at Andy's house. I saw the napkin. before he burned it. The entitlement of these people. He would lie for a lie, but she won't lie for the truth.
Starting point is 01:15:54 That's a great line. You're still holding on to his titties. They're pretty golden. I love when her actual accent comes back. Plunk, I need you to do something. I'm sorry, Helen. I gave you the truth. This is where my jurisdiction hands.
Starting point is 01:16:11 There's nothing I can do, except maybe offer you some courage. and I remind her of why your sister walked away in the first place Oh Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha Ha
Starting point is 01:16:35 Ha Ha ha ha Oh, this must have been such a fun scene to film for her Like just breaks Satisfying
Starting point is 01:16:47 Yeah Must have been fun For production Okay, so now she's going to know To hit the little art piece Open the Mona Lisa And maybe destroy it Somehow
Starting point is 01:17:00 Maybe she could burn it I don't know Oh God That feel good Yes Yes Oh really? All right, Tara, let's find some glass.
Starting point is 01:17:23 Ah, fun. Love it. Great. Yeah. Wow, that's a big, big one. Oh my god. Whoa! I don't think she is. I don't think she is.
Starting point is 01:17:55 Okay. Got the bar. Okay. What is it? What do you want? The lighter. Burn the Mona Lisa. Oh, we're not. Isn't this place fueled by hydrogen?
Starting point is 01:18:19 Yeah. So yeah, she just burned it. Oh, she promised that in her freaking email. Her sister did. I'm gonna burn this place to the ground. I love that. Her sister did it for her. She just needed a little liquid courage, right?
Starting point is 01:18:34 Okay, stop. Stop. Enough. Walk away. No. With a reminder of one. my sister walked away in the first place. Where did he hand her?
Starting point is 01:18:49 Something. See. Oh, the hydrogen. Okay. Rock. Nice. Kaboom. Oh, shit.
Starting point is 01:19:03 Oh, God. Why would you do that while you're in there? Wow, look at that. Hendonberg. Yep. Damn! Oh, fireworks!
Starting point is 01:19:24 Yeah, victory cigar. I don't think he's going to care about lighting him now. Darrell, MVP of the movie right here, Tara. Did she take the Mona Lisa? You know what? Actually, because the Mona Lisa won't burn.
Starting point is 01:19:42 If she opened it and talk to Mona Lisa, then she would have her money, maybe her part. That's what I'm hoping she did. I think you might, no. Maybe she might do that right now. Is that what she's looking at? Yeah. Or just do that and. Is it, well, it's behind a bulletproof thing.
Starting point is 01:20:05 I think she knows how to open it. Or maybe she'll just destroy it out of spite. I support both ideas. But she could have a lot of Moolah by taking it. Great shot. There we go. Oh, she's gonna let it burn. Okay.
Starting point is 01:20:39 I'm alright with that too. Because this man owns it, I'm cool with it. Not the motorist. Sorry, bud. You got all your shit by stealing from others, or stealing from someone else. So this is what you get. Oh, fantastic!
Starting point is 01:21:02 I am so punk rock. You think you pop me like a gangster? No, you baby. Ah, you child! I hope you little bitch tantrum gave you closure, because it accomplished nothing. Your feel of the future just barbecued, the world's most famous painting, you dumbass. Imagine the headlines, buddy. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:21:27 Congratulations on the public launch of Clear. There you go. You're ruined. And you did get your wish to forever be remembered in the same death.

Starting point is 01:23:39 How do you feel about the actively lying to the audience that this film does? In the montage, at the end, they show some scenes from a different angle, but they use different takes from the scenes we see initially. Exterior, or example, excuse me, the pool of Batista asking if he was at Andy's
Starting point is 01:23:55 compared to the first film where you could piece it together along with Anaday Armasa versus this one where the movie is actively trying to pull the rug out from under you. How did you feel about that, Tara? I don't mind it. It's very much like scream-like, because I'm going through the screen movies with Roxy. They do the same thing where they try to subvert your expectations,
Starting point is 01:24:18 where you see somebody die, but they're not really dead, stuff like that, giving away clues. There's also different reactions in this. Like when we see something, the reactions are slightly different, which I actually liked. Like when Birdie first sees, that Andy is next to her at the pool. Her reaction of pointing to her and going like, Andy is totally different than what we initially saw before. But I actually like that because it puts us in a mindset of what did we actually see, which was their point at the very end.
Starting point is 01:24:52 So what they said and you're thinking, yeah, okay, that did happen. But no, what did you actually see? So I think they're obviously doing that on purpose. True. I also like as well, at least to have from my perspective, there's so many times where you can just listen to a line and not even like paid, like really pay attention to it and think much of it.
Starting point is 01:25:16 For instance, the line where it's like, oh yeah, you almost pancake me with your car that a few weeks ago when I was at hand or whatever it was. I was like, I didn't even think anything of it. But then when you're playing it back in the nonlinear storytelling, the way they did, I was like, God, that one flew over my head. And then also too, Tara,
Starting point is 01:25:32 when we were watching Knives Out. And when she said, Ransom, you're back again and hewed it in. Like there's a couple times where they literally are spelling it out for you and you're not really thinking much of it, just because you're so locked in and so immersed that sometimes they will do things right in front of your face or give you actual dialogue to spell things out for you. And maybe some of you are extremely a lot smarter than me.
Starting point is 01:25:58 Well, that's most of you actually. But, you know, it still will go over our heads. and we didn't catch it, as Drax would say. So I love stuff like that. And I think this film, too, really did a good job of separating itself. Yeah, it still did the mystery whodunit type of thing. But there were a lot of different prevalent themes, I feel like, with tech billionaires, with influencers, and just how they shape things around in our society.
Starting point is 01:26:20 I like that they used COVID as a thing to kind of just talk about the prevalent times that we were in, especially at this time, just how it was affecting the world. So there was a lot of different things, too. and also just how we can sell our soul for a dollar. And if someone is really, you know, paying for our lifestyle, will we sell our soul in that situation or will we do the right thing? And I think Andy was one of those people, I mean, Helen was too, but Andy was one of those people where it didn't matter how much money she was making
Starting point is 01:26:51 or if she could make more, like she was going to do the right thing. And I appreciate characters like that. Thank you, Hunter, for the question. We appreciate you. Pavel Ketch Marek, I really enjoyed it, but the one thing that puts a notch below, the first one was too much real-world stuff, the whole pandemic incorporation. Norton basically playing Musk, Batista being a Joe Rogan-type personality. I know the first one had that too, but I think Johnson really went after it.
Starting point is 01:27:17 Did it hamper the experience for you two, or was it just me? I personally didn't, and I know what you mean about the first one had that too. I think he's talking about what the kid from it, who was very right-wing. and they didn't harp on it too much and we actually had a very prevalent character like Dave Batista but no I think the reason I didn't mind it is because it felt extremely grounded
Starting point is 01:27:38 in the times we're in now and I think everyone separated themselves personality-wise that I couldn't like this feels real whereas in the first movie these characters felt real but also at the same point
Starting point is 01:27:52 all their entitlement and the way that they grew up in I don't know if per se Tara and I could resonate with characters like that because I don't think Tara or myself grew up in a environment where we were handed everything like Tara and I had to build ourselves into what we have today and we were not given everything like these pampered spoiled trust fund babies so I actually like that they infused real world stuff I think I think it grounded down the film a little bit but what about you did you mind it or did
Starting point is 01:28:22 it bother you I don't think it hampered down the experience I mean I get going after it But in this, you have to, like, when you think about Clue or any murder mystery, you're going to have to have to have, and if you ever go to, like, a murder mystery dinner, you have to have characters that are all very distinctly different from one another. True. Meaning, Bautista has to be that, right? The leader has to be, he is a rich billionaire who's like, oh, I'm playing this also on Paul's guitar and throws it in the sand.
Starting point is 01:28:53 Yeah. That's that type of personality and the personalities combined that you, need for this type of a film that really quickly to what you just said there i know we got more questions that was such a good clue as to edward norton's character with miles that yeah he's an arrogant pompous douchebag but he's also an idiot just to throw a guitar like that it was such a good foreshadowing for how dumb he is yeah totally didn't even clue in on that at all so yeah i appreciated that from ryan johnson and edward norton as well and everyone in this such amazing performances loved it.
Starting point is 01:29:25 All right, Adrian, sorry if I mispronounce anyone's name. It's not intentional. It's me. You know I'm going to mispronounce yet. Adrian Prepolita. Thank you for being a royal reject and for asking a question. We appreciate it. Hello, my beloved rejects.
Starting point is 01:29:41 Hello, Adrian. Hope you're doing well. I remember seeing a lot of controversy around the destruction of Mona Lisa in the finale that it was unjustified to destroy such a piece of art just for the scope of revenge. do you agree with this statement could you do it in such a situation um i would have just taken it right and that's her payback i would have really liked that in a way of like somehow she just she takes it before she throws the hydrogen because she knows how to unlock it for sure and that's her payment um i would i would have really loved that ending but i really i didn't mind seeing it burn
Starting point is 01:30:21 honestly for sure i think the and look we you it's all about perspective right you got to put yourself in helen's shoes if you were she's lost everything in terms of her sister sister meant the world to her what means the world to this guy besides like keeping his money and and all that his dignity and all that is this mona lisa thing he wants to to be compared with the mona lisa right so that's what she was going i think it was more symbolic than the actual destroying of it i'm going to destroy everything that without actually physically, you know, taking his life, I'm going to destroy the thing that means the most to him because that's what he did to me. So I think it was more, even though she physically did do the deed, I think it was more symbolic. And that's why
Starting point is 01:31:05 I didn't personally mind. Of course, I don't want a beautiful piece of art destroyed for sure, like the Mona Lisa. It's history. But at the same point, giving the nuance of the, and the complexity of the situation, I was totally fine with it. I wouldn't have wanted to think about it because it wouldn't make sense, but it would be a really cute B-roll mid-credits and you just see her in Baby Blue and the Mona Lisa and the passenger.
Starting point is 01:31:30 She switched it when we didn't see. She has a smile on her face. That would be cool. She's moving and groven. I like that. It doesn't really make sense, but I decided to pitch it for you anyway. It's one of these murder who done it,
Starting point is 01:31:42 so you never know she could have done when we didn't see. Yeah. Jaden Rhodes. I love that Ryan Johnson decided to make these movies all have a different. probably he meant different vibe
Starting point is 01:31:52 but when this came this one was criticized for having too much comedy and if we've found an issue with the comedic bits I actually thought it brought different life to these movies is I feel like if you didn't switch
Starting point is 01:32:02 maybe it would feel like a copy of the first but I'm curious if you all agree I'm fascinated that people felt that way I've not looked up what the Rotten Tomato scores of either of these films are but that does shock me a bit that people were against comedy
Starting point is 01:32:17 I think when it comes to comedy in whatever genre of film it is that's not a comedy. It's all about balance. You got to make sure that you don't overdo it. Like when a film is funny, you want it to be hilarious. At the same point, whenever you're doing like the murder mystery stuff, you got to also have that flavor of that too. So it's really about fusing the two together.
Starting point is 01:32:37 If you go overboard on one and you're not giving enough flavor of the other one, that's where something, you're not going to get that proper taste if I would go to a food analogy. So me personally, I thought it had a good blend of both to where it was a nice juicy steak and I was very pleased with the entree. What about you, Tara? Did you feel that it went too overboard with the comedy? I'm never going to be like, wow, watch Glass Onion. It's a riot. You'll laugh through the whole thing.
Starting point is 01:33:04 I don't view it as a comedy. I don't think it had too much comedy. I think that there are some specific actors who can kind of nail that home a little bit. There's a couple of, obviously, we're working with Catherine Hahn, but she's just naturally grounded while also being funny. Like, she's more of the dark humor and I like that, that's why they had her in this. Kate Hudson, like there's some things, you know, with the scream and like her being who she is, but overall, this is not a comedy to me.
Starting point is 01:33:36 When she say Jew out or Chewy out or something, there was this how dumb and oblivious her character was. Like there were some moments of definitely where his. hysterical. But I'm with terror. I was not looking at this, while listening to this film and going, this is beyond hysterical. Like, I was just so immersed in the actual murder mystery and then some of the prevalent themes that, oh yeah, but this is still pretty funny too. Right. So, yeah, thank you for the question. We appreciate it. All right, from Hades. Thank you for coming out from the underworld and asking
Starting point is 01:34:06 the question. We appreciate you so much and being a royal reject. I really like this one. I like how you, if you go back and watch it, you can actually see the the glass switch happened in the background. What was your favorite reveal in the film? I like the twin sister one. I did not see that coming and then the whole non-linear storytelling. Like, we know that there's going to be a reveal and Benoit Blanc's going to do his thing like he did in the first film, which that's always my favorite part. I love when he's, I love how unassuming he is whenever he's in the actual action of the, in the thick of things, rather.
Starting point is 01:34:42 and he's just being like kind of dumb and unassuming and then he does his Benoit Blanc thing I love that so much but the reveal of her having a twin sister and then her acting out as Andy and we knew that
Starting point is 01:34:57 whoever is the person who is the killer of the actual real Andy is going to know like okay I killed the real Andy I saw her die in front of me so this is all a ruse but I have to play it straight I can't like you know show my cards right now so that was so fast. I didn't see that coming at all, but is there a specific reveal aside from the one I just
Starting point is 01:35:17 pointed out? You know, I kind of like called it when I was like, listen, when she goes in playing Cassander her sister, like, is she going to wear a bulletproof fest? Because she's going to have to know that people are after her. If she shows up and they think that it could be her, maybe the poison didn't work. I was a little annoyed that it was like, oh, by chance, the journal saved her. Because what I would assume from having Benoit and Cassandra's sister be like they're smart enough to know when we freaking go there. Somebody's probably going to try to kill me again. So I would have liked it a little bit more of, you know, she plays dead for a second. He already has the hot sauce. He does it. And she wakes up and she's like, well, we both know a bitch was going to get murdered. Like we knew
Starting point is 01:36:05 that I was going to get murdered. Right. And I think that would have been funny and very like, the characters are already ahead. Yeah, I got to tell you, too. I love... But the journal's fine. Yeah, yeah. This is just staying away, stepping away, excuse me,
Starting point is 01:36:20 from the whatever our favorite reveal was. I really dug, once again, I dug Daniel Craig's performance, how eccentric he can be. But I got to tell you too, I really love how caring and appreciative he can be towards, like, Anadermas in the first film,
Starting point is 01:36:36 and Andy in this film, and Helen as well. you know, it's, I love the relationship and the interactions between those two characters in the first film and then in this film, like he's really a charismatic and caring character. And I think that goes very deep. And also when it comes to Helen and I guess also Andy, but more so Helen, I think she's really the dramatic, like she is the moral center of the film, but she's also the dramatic backbone of the film as well. And I really dug her performance. I don't know if I've seen her in many other films if I have them. kind of blanking, but she really stood out to me amongst all these celebrities in this film. That's one of the other fun things about these films, Tara. They get so many celebrities and bona fide studs when it comes to acting powers. So, like seeing Hugh Grant in the film, that was freaking cool. And just all the actors that they get, amazing performances from everyone.
Starting point is 01:37:32 And everyone really is not afraid to let the other person shine and have their moment. But great performances from everyone. All right. Rogers. Thank you for being a royal regent asking the question. We appreciate you. Janelle Monet's perfect Mona Lisa smirk at the end kills me every time. What an icon. The ensemble cast is always great, but did anyone stand out in particular for you guys? I hope all the rejects have a great way. I should have read that question before I just went on that soliloquy. I just said what I said. So Tara, what do you got for us?
Starting point is 01:38:03 I mean, you know, Ed Norton, you know, is always great. You know, is always great. You know, I love to see him um i do think that kate did a great job you know she kind of hasn't been around in a minute so i like seeing her in this role and i think it was fun she was great as a bimbo and so dumb yeah she always does a great job she was awesome and also i apologize for miss speaking the name ethen hock when i called him edward norton although i don't think he would mind me calling him that edward norton's such a damn legend he was great and everyone was awesome i will also say this last thing before we move on to the final question here you really felt the history dynamic between this crew this uh core group of set shitheads when they were interacting with each other
Starting point is 01:38:50 if they didn't give me the backstory like and them all talking and interacting with each other i would have for like as a viewer i would have been like clearly these people have a history with each other you can just feel that dynamic between them and that's like that's good acting because at the end of the day they're just they're strangers they're actors who barely probably know each other other other other than like when they see each other on set or like passing by so i think that was really great job by all them they had instant chemistry with each other so i really love their performances together yeah j rushed in uh what were the funny moments that you liked the few comedy bits i think you pointed out one earlier kate hudson's scream or whatever
Starting point is 01:39:32 that was funny just any of the kate hudson moments were great i love when daniel Craig really sizes up Edward Norton's character at the end and just saying, you're an idiot. Like that was just, I thought it was like one of the, the most important moments of the film because we're getting down to the mystery here, right? Totally. Yeah, yeah. But also it was funny at the same time. You got that blend of humor at the same point.
Starting point is 01:39:59 We're getting the mystery. Right. And I thought that was great. So I would say that would probably be some of my favorite comedic moments. Yeah. Is anything specific? I think I've already like Catherine Han was also hysterical at times in her normal grounded you know dark comedic delivery it's like she's just always going to be great and funny
Starting point is 01:40:20 yeah and Dave Batista as well he was pretty funny as bobs and all this other crap that he was saying he was I would not be surprised if Dave Batista improvised a few lines here and there because his character is so out there he's like all right I'm going to see some of the stuff on the page of if I'm going to get in the mind of someone like this I'm going to have to just say some outlandish and dumb shit. Yeah. So I wouldn't be surprised if you do that. Any final thoughts?
Starting point is 01:40:46 No, I loved it. Good times. So Tara, they are making a third film. I believe it comes down to theaters. So I would imagine you and I are not going to be seeing that in theaters. We are going to react to it here. So make sure you guys stay tuned for that whenever it does drop on streaming. Tara and I will be doing that.
Starting point is 01:41:03 I have been already saying this. I really want to do with Tara the Clue movie or Clue. it came out in 85, that's another murder mystery who done it film. And there's another one I forgot to mention. It's called Murder on the Orient Express, I believe it's called. That's another murder mystery who'd done it. So while we are waiting for that other one, in the meantime,
Starting point is 01:41:21 I would love to do that. I'm going to get on Greg to the point of annoying him until he caves in and allows us to do it. But you guys let us know in the comments, if you would like Tara and I to do those films since we're going to be in a little bit of a waiting time. But let us know in the comments. Did you like Glass Onion and Knives Out Mystery
Starting point is 01:41:37 more than the first one? Does it move the needle thread of the legacy of the last film? Let us know.
