Episode 22 - Review: Glass Onion (2022 film)
Rian Johnson knows how to put on a show. He does it again with “Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery”. In this mystery, Johnson brings back Investigator Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) to resolve another puzzle. This movie had some big shoes to fill. “Knives Out” (2019) is a timeless classic that continues to age well and to this day I notice new things when I continue to rewatch that movie. What I love about Glass Onion is that its a completely new mystery with, besides Mr. Blanc, a whole new cast of characters. This film is very different from the 2019 movie but similar in that it makes fun of today’s culture and the fantastic actors also portray a hysterical group of modern-day a-holes. Big shout out to Daniel Craig, Edward Norton and especially Janelle Monáe for her stealing every scene of this movie that she is in. Composer and frequent Rian Johnson collaborator Nathan Johnson is back to score this movie and does an excellent job. What is so great with this movie is that it is not predictable. The trailers do not spoil anything and the movie will keep you guessing right up until the end. “Glass Onion” can be streamed on Netflix starting December 23rd. Netflix, you gotta bring this one back to the theaters. It’s a hell of a ride that is without doubt worth the price of admission.
