 I have a murder mystery question for you. Is it possible for Ryan Johnson to slaughter something more than the Star Wars franchise? I suspect foul play. Well, let's find out together as we review Knives Out. I now have to start all of these conversations with a little bit of a warning. This is not an in-depth review, it's just our reactions, our thoughts, our impressions of the film. We just got out of the theater, we're going to let you know what we thought. So don't come in here, don't come into my channel, don't come into my house and expect some sort of in-depth synopsis or breakdown. You can find that somewhere else on YouTube. Sorry for being so upset with you, I'm not. I'd also like to kind of format this more. I feel like we're all kind of Willy Wonka all over the place with things. So let's start with the cast. For the most part, they didn't really use the cast like they should have. You know, that was definitely one of my gripes with it. There's a couple key characters that they definitely did. I'm not trying to spoil it. Do you know the name of the young woman that the movie revolves around? Anna D. Something. Yeah, she kind of looks like a new Kelly Kapowski, that's maybe a two-dated for you, but Tiffany Amber Thiessen, I guess I got a little bit of that from her. She's a beautiful woman. Unfortunately, she's not the most exciting actress to watch in this film. She's very kind of straight laced. Is she the one in Alita? Is that what she's from? Dang, look at that. We may be racist, but I think she's from Alita. A lot of them I think we're just really dry in tickets. You think so? I think it's a stunt casting sort of a thing. I'd say so. Well, it's it, yeah. Well, I can't really see the actors and actresses really, oh, I need to be in this movie. You know, there's nothing really drawing them to it, like, you know. Yeah, the performance by like Chris Evans or whatever that you see in the trailer he's very funny, he's telling everybody to go up themselves. He only really is that character for five minutes. And then he's in it longer than that, but I wouldn't say much more than maybe 15. You know, we have Bond in this, James Bond, Daniel Craig, Daniel Craig. He's having fun, clearly. He's all in. 100%. I like Daniel Craig. I think he's a good actor. He's underrated, honestly. I agree. He's underrated. He's done some really good, more quaint-er roles in movies that I can't think of the names of, you know, War One. I remember, well, we don't get, maybe I need to get into it, but there's a war movie with him and you should definitely see it. Just taping a war movie. He's got this Southern draw in the film, which I don't- It's not needed necessarily. Which I don't know if it works. Which if you figure in the movie early on, they say that his father was like, was, what is it, Harlan? Is that his name? What's their- I don't really pay attention to movies that much, so yeah, go on. Whatever it is. Like he says that his father was like the medical person or whatever for him. So how does he have a Southern draw? I don't know. It doesn't make sense to me, but- I think, well, it might have been a, you know, there's little ready herrings here and there. There's a lot of stuff to kind of put you off the scent. But is there any more actors we want to talk about before we kind of graze over the story without giving anything away? You know, you have the woman from Hereditary and that and- Tony Collette. Tony Collette, thank you for looking that name up because I've really liked her ever since the United States of Terra and I've never known her name because, you know, I do I do movie review shows on the side. So why would I need to know actor names? She's fun. She's, you know, playing kind of a, was she supposed to be the influencer? Yeah, yeah. So I think that she solely based her role off of Kim Kardashian. She definitely had that- I can't hate the comments. Yeah, that kind of Cali vibe to her. That ballet girl speak a little bit. Yeah. There's a couple characters that seem to be in there just to have this kind of political commentary that was just a little bit out of place. Yeah. You know, I get what Ryan Johnson was going with with, you know, the whole dinner table family arguments, which typically lead to that sort of discussion. But it did feel kind of just thrown in just so he could say a couple things. And I don't know. It was unnecessary, especially when it's just everywhere now it is. Right. You know, it's a who done it. It's a classic who done it, but it's also this functional family thing. There was a movie and I didn't look it up. And I don't know movies or actor names because I do a movie review show. But Michael J. Fox was in it. And it was kind of a clue type movie. And I was trying to explain it to you earlier. It's a girl in a Western game. That's not even close to what it's called. But anyway, three people will know what it is. Tell me in the comments what the name of the movie is with Michael J. Fox. He bowls in the movie and he gets injured early or he misses the strike and he loses money. And then he's in with his family arguing. That's all you have to go on. It's not Kingpin. Michael J. Fox is not in that movie. The fun thing about these types of movies is trying to play the part of the detective and work the story out with you. I'm sure I annoyed Chase a few times whispering over my ideas. Unfortunately, I have the tendency to call things early. And this was one of those times where it was a 30 minutes in. I'm not sure what it is. I didn't call the murderer, but kind of at the same time. So then you're just kind of watching and waiting for you to... You're waiting for yourself to be proven right or wrong. You did call something too though. You know, there's little things here and there that are fun. There's fun little Easter eggs that they come back to, thankfully. And it does resolve all the questions at the end, which is nice. I kind of enjoy the little things. It's little wins. I don't think we have to go much further into story other than to say that once more, very front heavy. I thought it ran long. In the mid, so I don't even know. That sounds like my perfect woman. The middle part of the story. I don't know if to me it felt like it was about 10 minutes long. Did that make sense? It doesn't make any sense. I know what you're saying. The middle act is just there and gone. Yeah, I felt like that was short. It was there and then, like you said, it was gone. And then the last, it feels like it's about an hour. Yeah. It does drag a lot at the end. Just like the last Jedi, it's beautiful to look at. And that's about it. Yeah, like you said, it's beautiful to look at. There's some great shots, I thought. A lot of creative shots in this. At the very end, that kind of slow motion shot. That was really cool. There's fun zoom-ins. There's fun little play. It's not taking itself too seriously. It knows. It knows what it is and what it's going to do. Yes. It definitely has a theme to it. I like that the typography all plays into it as well. And I like when things just kind of come together. I still get bothered by John Wick when they will just randomly put the words on the screen. And that really kind of weird fun. They'll colorize one letter or one word. This is so stupid. It doesn't come together. They do it like two times in the whole movie. That doesn't come together for me. But this very much works. Or like when just a placement of imagery and stuff. Like how Daniel Craig at one point, he sits down in a chair and if you look behind him, all the knives are pointed at him. There's a lot of stuff like that that I enjoy for the most part in movies. Some good symbolism in it. And my favorite thing, we both got a good kick out of this. They said the title of the movie in the movie. I think there's nothing better. I think we just watched the family. And I just watched them the day after tomorrow. And I think they say day after tomorrow in there. Did you notice any of the music in it that played out for you? I mean, there's some of them. I don't know. Some of it almost seems out of place. Like at some points they have like music that should be from the 70s. But I think that's also to like go with the characters themselves because for, I think her name is Joni in it. Sure. We'll go with that. She has kind of like, when they're introducing the characters right away, she has almost like a, I don't know, like a 70s type music. She's a little bit of a hippie type thing. Yeah, a hippie type thing. And like, yeah, she gives you that also. I guess you could say, you know, in some movies good music, when done well, you don't even notice it. The main theme sounded pretty fine. The Knives Out thing was good. Okay, let's wrap this up with, you know, should they rush out to see this in theaters? Should they wait to stream it at home? Is it worth watching? Where are you at on this thing? I wouldn't say wait to stream it, but I wouldn't say rush. I don't know if there's an in-between yet. I haven't come up with one. You know what I mean? That's kind of where I'm at. They're like, yeah, it's a fun watch. Like, yeah, I mean, go for it. Go see it at the movies, but you don't necessarily have. You don't need to see it opening weekend. I think this has been out for what? Is this the second week? Or is this second? So we're in the middle, I guess, Malcolm. Maybe, you know, you could say it's, if you're into this genre, if you like the murder mystery style, see it in the theaters, you know, show the support for new creative films because they are not around very much anymore. Everything's a sequel, a prequel, whatever, a sidequel. And it's rare when we get these original films. So maybe show the support, go see the theaters. Otherwise, yeah, for me personally, now that I have seen it, I'd say, I wouldn't have done this again. I would have just watched it in the comfort of my own house. So there you go. There's our thoughts on Knives Out. See it if you want. Way to watch it at home. I think it is worth their time, though. Yeah, no, it's fun. It's a good Saturday night.
