I like the Knives Out movies. I like Rian Johnson. I like Daniel Craig. I love Benoit Blanc as a character.

The movie's going to be in theaters exactly long enough to qualify it for awards, and I would rather watch a light murder mystery romp at home anyway.
- You should check out Poker Face by a lot of the same people involved with Glass Onion. Very well written, almost like a modern Murder She Wrote. Also it stars Natasha Lyonne, who I am a fan of because of Russian Doll.
  
  Which one?
- I liked the second one, the first one I couldn’t stand. It was marketed as a whodunit but it just wasn’t.
  
  How was the first not a whodunnit? There are plenty of whodunnits with twists like that.
I seriously doubt Netflix will put it in theaters at all, and if they do it will be in a handful to qualify for awards season. When the studios own the streaming channels, there’s very little incentive to release movies in theaters anymore.
They’re making a third one?
