Knives Out - Group Movie Reaction 

OH BTW, Glass Onion just dropped today on our patreon if you're fiending for more lol

Not even that she accidentally switched them back. She was just so good at her job that she picked the correct medication without reading the label. It was reading the label that gave her doubt

As a Latinoamerican, my favorite running gag is everyone getting Marta's country wrong

Re: the blood on the shoe -- Blanc sees it in his first scene with Marta! After startling her through the window and she comes outside, the camera catches him looking at her shoe for a beat too long. On another note: YESSSS I love when anyone acknowledges Daniel Craig's doofy accent in Tomb Raider!! Absolutely one of my faves 😂❤

Mickey actually predicted/caught on to a lot of stuff!

RIP, Christopher Plummer.

6:57 LMAOOOO predicted line

"See How They Run" and, if you can find it, the BBC adaption of "And Then There Were None" from 2015 are both excellent murder mysteries/mystery-adjacent stories

Bruh you missed that Benoit said that he saw the blood on Marta's shoe at the end

Well now y’all gotta watch glass onion

Lmao them liking "Clue" when Benoit Blanc hates it

14:07 LANGUAGE!!!

Still think he should have asked her to turn around before he slit his throat 😭😭

I guess you can stop ASSUMING it’s a “classic whodunit” now.

My favorite side story in the movie: Richard finds the letter in Harlan’s desk, opens it, sees it’s ‘blank’, smirks and leaves it. He then takes Harlan’s beloved baseball and throws it out the window as a sort of ‘fuck you’. Blanc finds the ball and pockets it. He then throws it for the dog. The dog takes the ball and brings it to Linda. Linda takes the ball and goes to put it back in the office but then finds the letter. It’s a storyline that just comes full circle and resolves itself. I love this movie.

The "because you are a *good nurse* " scene gets me EVERY TIME

I think what I love about this is that Marta ultimately saved herself by being a good person (by trying to save Fran instead of running away)

Chris Evans may be best known for playing Captain America, but he had had prior roles playing real jerks, sometimes murderous jerks.

I cannot convey all the scenes, but notice how Blanc looks down on her feet when he first meets Marta? Then he makes several remarks concerning feet or shoes over the course of the movie... "The game is afoot" for instance. He knew that she was present... yet he wanted to pursue it to the end and find the *right* answer. I think this is perhaps the greatest achievement of the movie! Making a seemingly normal and goofball detective be an actual genius! It just makes the movie even more amazing.

The letter at the end said ‘My heart, It's time to cut the dead wood. He's cheating on you. I have proof I know you don't need to see. Untether yourself. It's time - Dad’ Linda was probably the only other one that loved Harlan, and was somewhat self made (with a loan) and did have her own connection to him

When Micky asked if Marta and Harlan were boinking, I guffawed - Linda yelling at Marta "WERE YOU BOINKING MY FATHER?!" is my favourite line out of the whole film

I remembered what Harlan said about Ransom, “He plays life like it’s a game without consequences until you can no longer tell the difference between a stage prop and a real knife.” Brilliant foreshadowing! when Marta threw up on Ransom that was actually baby food mixed with water. Knowing that makes it easier to watch. The movie was an homage to Agatha Christie novels. Have you read Agatha Christie? Her works broke the rules of the mystery genre; she became known as The Queen of Crime. Her novels go from 1920-1970s. Actress who played Marta gave a phenomenal performance! Glad they cut away to her reaction to the suicide; the look of horror on her face was outstanding! Like Blanc said, Harlan’s demise was the result of “a tragedy of errors.” When he pointed out how Marta could visually spot the differences between the morphine and the correct medication, he said it so quickly. Needed subtitles for that. You’ll enjoy Glass Onion as well.

Knives Out is a love letter to classic murder mysteries and whodunnits. Rian Johnson knows we the audience already know the murder mystery tropes, so he’s able to subvert our expectations while delivering prescient social commentary. I think he could be the Agatha Christie of our time.

I think Harlan became a good person a lot later in life. He even says that Ransom is very similar to him when he was younger. And Ransom is obviously not a good person even if we exclude his crimes.

Apparently the "one iota of sh!t" line was an ad lib. It's such a great line for Walt and fits his character.

There are so many brilliant details in Rian Johnson’s writing that reward repeat viewings. One example: Richard gets himself caught. The baseball he throws out the window in the beginning of the movie is repeatedly passed on to multiple characters until it finally reaches Linda. She takes it back to her father’s office, which is what leads her to the note about the affair.

21:11- Suraj: "Now you're peeling off in your visible blue car" Glass Onion: Ohhhh boy.

Theres a moment when Marta meets Blanc, where he’s looking down. This is the moment when he immediately noticed the blood on her shoe.

Regarding the blood on Marta's shoe, you can see Blanc notice it the first time he talks to her on the back porch, and that's why he keeps her around his investigation. He knows she knows something more than she has told him.

Micky telling the “I give it one knife out” joke and no one hearing was the best part of the video.

There should be so many delayed drinks in this. "Unless it's secret ink." "Were they boinking?"

I luv that Spidey remembered the clue from the beginning about the son being so dumb he wouldn't know a 'real' knife from a prop knife.

I'm happy Spidey Remembered the comment about how Ransom can not tell the difference between a real knife and a prop knife

James Bond, (Daniel Craig) Captain America (chris Evans), General Zod (Michael Shannon), and Yoda (Frank Oz, the will's reader) all in the same movie. Pretty impressive!

I like to think that Blanc was just really hungry that morning, hence the donut metaphor.

We're so used to seeing Chris Evans be the hero, that him being a villain is super refreshing and exciting. He's just so good at it

3:49 - One of my favorite moments is when Blanc is introduced and how the reactions of the various Thrombeys to him reveals their characters. Jamie Lee Curtis's Linda knows who Blanc is because she read his "New Yorker" profile, as she's an intelligent and well-read professional woman. Toni Collette's Joni has heard of Blance because she "read a tweet about the 'New Yorker' article", showing her to be shallow and social media obsessed. And Don Johnson's Richard has no idea who Blanc is because he doesn't read at all. He's the type of person who'd have books in his house for show (preferably old leatherbound editions), but he never actually reads them.

This is one of the few movies where I would not change a single thing about it. Not one thing. It is practically perfect

I've got to say, it genuinely is impressive how in the dark the crew is able to keep themselves about popular stuff they react to for the first time. Like, I get not knowing specific plot details, but to think Knives Out is a cooking show when the whodunnit murder mystery aspect was basically the whole point of its marketing campaign? I know there's a lot of content to keep track of these days but I wouldn't have expected that degree of shielding for such a widely-seen film. Good job of making the reaction fresh.

After this movie with the news that there would be sequels with Benoit Blanc, a lot of fans wanted Daniel Craig to just do a totally different accent every movie with no explanation Sadly it didn't happen

Howww did one of you get the word "boinking" wayyy before it was used in the movie 😂😂😂

"So Buffy can help". Love how after watching BTVS anytime you hear the world slayer your brain goes straight to that world. Btw Knives Out was an amazing movie. Brilliant cast. Love the twists. It gets even better on rewatches.

I laughed so hard when Micky sort of predicted the "boinking" line.

After Knives Out, Netflix paid Rian Johnson to make two more Benoit Blanc movies for $400 million dollars. They released it in the theaters for one week and put it on Netflix a month later. IMO they should have let it have a full run and they probably would have made their money back.

One thing i will add. I feel it was implied Meg was pressured into turning on Marta. She actually seemed to care about her and were on good terms and actually friends. You saw her family looking like mobsters watching her make that call and she'd obviously been crying. I feel they turned her against Marta by bringing up her not being able to go to college (leaving out the whole her mom fucking that chance away) and act all sorry that since they dont have the inheritance that the others cant help her either. They dangled her future that they fucked up over her and in laid Marta as the one to blame. They were liars and manipulators who immediately found the only member of the family that was Martas friend and turned her against her. I truly hope Meg was the only one she helped because she was only a tool used to try and manipulate Martas good nature.

Such a fun wild ride of a movie. star studded cast and they delivered!

wait! So they just by coincidence reacted to this film now? Cause nobody except Damarin knew about the sequel, I thought they did this in preparation for Glass Onion.😅

This is a awesome movie, I'm hype to see what yall think about it

I liked Knives Out more than Glass Onion. Glass Onion was good, but critics overhyped it way too much.

Honestly I kinda felt bad for Linda, sure she was an asshole but she lost her entire family (husband cheated, son going to prison and she even lost her father and I believe she was the only kid he was genuinely close to)

BTW, according to the background packet Rian Johnson put together for this film, Marta was born in Boston, and she's of Cuban descent. No one at any time in the movie ever gets it right.

Y'all didn't see Logan Lucky where Daniel Craig also used a Southern Accent. Channing Tatum and Adam Driver were also in Logan Lucky

You got to love the 2 twists the change the first idea you have about where the story goes ! First you think it's gonna be a Clue story, but then that reveal with Harlan changes everything...and god it must have been hard for Chris Evans to play a asshole !! In real life he loves dog so it was double hard, shows how good of an actor he his really !

This is hands down one of my top 5 favorite movies, glad to see others experience it. Glass Onion certainly wasn't as good, but it was still fun in its own way

Knives Out is really good. Glass Onion, is ok in my opinion, both have flaws, glass onion just has too many.

Damarins all knowing smile is my favourite part of this reaction 😂

Between this reaction, Everything Everywhere All At Once, and Midsommar, I just have to say whoever's been making your video thumbnails has been killing it.

25:39 Remember what she said about the morphine and what would happen to him in ten minutes. If he'd had an overdose of morphine that would've killed him in ten minutes, would he really have been able to think up a murder plan in five minutes like he did?

He's definitely America's A-hull. I liked this one a lot. As was mentioned, the flashback doesn't follow the character's perspective - forcing you to figure out what was real. Instead, the flashback always tells the truth, and it allows you to compare that, with the characters' narrative. I also like that unlike most mysteries, you know up front what happened, yet when you see the runtime, you know that's not the whole story. In that regard, I guess it's not a traditional "Whodunnit", because you're not quite sure what they did, and what you need to be looking for. Everyone did a great job of looking suspicious. The whole family was completely dysfunctional. Looking back, I suppose Meg did actually mean well. She ended up joining the others, but it was reluctant. I liked the unusual role for Danny Craig. He was like a southern Americanized Hercule Poirot. We never entirely see his full thought process, so we don't know how smart he really was, but it's clear that he had a good idea of what was going on, but knew that reality wasn't so straightforward. Everyone acted great. Some of them had their charming moments, but then they turned on a dime, when their livelihood was threatened. You could both love & dislike JLC, and even feel sorry for her at the end. You could somewhat sympathize with her outrage, but out of all the others, you knew she'd recover & be back on her feet. The guys on the right (Stage Left) were really on the ball - perhaps enough, that it threatened to derail their own enjoyment. It wasn't too bad, though. I could tell everyone was into it. Thanks for the opportunity to see it again, with fresh eyes.

i adore this movie so much. this and glass onion are 2 of my favourites of all time, and i would take Several Bullets for benoit blanc. he means the world to me

The director Rian Johnson's directorial debut was a 2005 film called "Brick". A neo-noir mystery set in a Southern California suburbs starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, if you're interested in similar themed mysteries. And Rian's brother Aaron does the score for most of his films as well.

I wish they would watch these movies with subtitles, especially the dialogue-heavy ones. The group is bound to miss out on important lines when they keep talking over the audio.

It's been a long time since I saw this movie but I do remember detective Blanc telling the nurse character that he noticed the blood on her shows as soon as she walked in or something like that

Rian Johnson said he wants to make these movies as long as he and Craig can.

Ana de Armas, along with Alexandra Daddario is the most gorgeous woman I've ever seen.

It's donuts all the way down 🍩🍩.

I liked Glass Onion even more, excited for it too. This was great tho.

Damn! How long is that couch? 🤣

Trivia: the lawyer is Frank Oz.

Murder by Death is a forerunner for Clue. It also contains an excellent cast but for todays audience, it isn't politically correct. Eileen Brennan, Mrs Peacock, is also in Murder by Death.

Just a reminder that the reason Marta followed Harlan's instructions was to protect her undocumented Mom. He morals weren't compromised.

What was frans plan exactly meet him in a dark building and tell him she knows?

Dang, that’s a fantastic thumbnail. Super pleasing to look at.

This movie is an incredible example of planting and playoff. Nearly everything comes back in some way

I don think any of them are actually broke and a couple of them are likely independently wealthy. They just arent SUPER wealthy. They could maybe survive on their own by cutting back, but they are used to a richer lifestyle and are counting on that inheritance. They also dont want to be her employees. I think a couple of them worked for their father in some capacity and if they were to continue with those jobs theyd be underneath Marta now.

the final vomit triggered some chainsaw man ptsd 😂

16:35 Pat: What's anchor baby? Dude, you just asked the anchor baby.

I have a question. What is the bottom right count?

Stop speaking like 12-year-olds

the moment chris evans character laugh when finding out who will get his grandfather's inheritance i was like bro everyone is panicking while you find it amusing you sus bro

Don’t invite the guy in yellow ever again.

Don't know if it would've added to the story, but there were a couple deleted scenes that showed that: 1. Joni's products had been giving people a rash and her business had been going under due to all the complaints. 2. Walt owed some loan sharks money, which was that's why he needed his part of the inheritance and why he had a cane/limp.

Watch Glass Onion its really good also.

This should have won best picture

15:51 it’s all there black and white, clear as crystal. You get nothing, you lose. Good day.” ~Willy Wonka

Why should she help Meg ? Meg fake activism dried up when she realized the money was gone

I'm SHOCKED you guys haven't seen this yet...

Best movie in the world! (And glass onion is a B+)

Damarin's reaction the whole time was hilarious.

eventually people will learn knives out movies are not whodunit. they will never give you all the info you need to make a prediction. these are made just for you to see it unfold.

29:21 I guess you could say Marta got the dirt on Ransom

The streaming services have been doing theater runs for their movies before making them available for streaming because that's a requirement for a lot of awards like the Oscars. Movies are explicitly required to have a run in Los Angeles theaters as the first method they are available in the US, before streaming, before TV broadcast, before home video releases, etc.

34:25... I immediately thought of The Mentalist. Great show.

I love how you guys noticed, understood, and acknowledged the theme of immigrants and wealth. I saw one reaction video where that just went right over the girl’s head, and she said she liked how they talked about it “from both sides” because she didn’t get that Don Johnson’s immigration rant was supposed to illustrate that his character is an spoiled asshat.

This is the movie that redeemed Rian Johnson for me and decided to watch more of his movies, I’m gonna be honest I dig his style and he’s a good director with interesting ideas. Also say what you want about the last Jedi but looking back on that movie I see original ideas good concepts (just all executed very badly) and incredible visual and cinematography, I’ve grown to appreciate that movie more than before I watched knives out.

This is not an anthology series, nor is Murder, She Wrote. They have a recurring main character. Idek what you think anthology means. That it needs to have two repeating characters? Three? That it has a different storyline every time? Like every sitcom? Twilight Zone is an anthology. It's a different set of characters with a different storyline. Outer Limits. Tales from the Crypt. Hosts don't count, they're not part of the story.

Rian is an incredible writet and I will happily support all of his work that isn't star wars because I still hate Last Jedi and my feelings shall never change. Sucks heavily disliking something that a bunch of arrogant, hateful, racist manchildren also dislike but eh.

Hah ha! @22:06 - "The lawyer's chick"!??? 🤣🤣🤣 The "lawyer's chick" was herself a lawyer. (And no, it wasn't her.)

Jacob called Marta “@nchr bby”, which is a slur, for those who don’t know.

They really were acting like it's literally/physically impossible to cut your own throat with a sharp knife, even when they saw him do it Lol.
