[@Jisungs.moving.castle]

I think the ending was more about the other friends now not having any ties to Miles. They no longer had anything to gain from him. So it’s not that they were like “yeah, let’s go with Helen cause she’s right” but more like “we’ll his name is ruined, I have nothing to gain from him anymore.” So, in the end, they were all still terrible people.

[@elbruces]

That, and he murdered Duke. Any one of them could be next if they keep hanging out with him.

[@MJosephB]

Well said.

[@MJosephB]

@@elbruces I don’t hold much sympathy for Duke. After he decided to blackmail Miles, he kinda became an accessory after the fact to Andi’s murder.

[@RunningTogether]

I agree, but I think it was more than just that they didn’t have anything to gain from him… as he goes down for the loss of the Mona Lisa and is bankrupted, staying tied to him hurts them (in the press), and declaiming him and helping his downfall go even further twists any negative attention away from them and back to him. On a separate note, my only criticism of the ending is that no matter how much Miles deserved all of that and Helen deserved justice for her sister, destroying the Mona Lisa was still an evil act.

[@markcastellanet9672]

I agree for the most part except it wasn't just his name. At the beginning they said if this fuel doesn't work it's going to destroy the company. Further, he is probably going to be bankrupted by the destruction of the Mona Lisa. That was on loan from Paris, he did not own the painting. With it's destruction, he is probably going to lose everything. It wasn't just his name, he literally had no wealth or power over the others and they could finally turn on him without fear.

[@Kietrich]

Initially I felt similar to you, Holden, that the ending was a little disappointing. However, upon further reflection, I realized how well written and designed that ending actually was. If you recall Miles discussion of what it meant to be a disrupter, he spoke of how they first broke the small things and then took it too far and broke the system that no one wanted broken. In this movie, the only real disrupter was Helen. The ending was an enactment of this very concept. She first begins by breaking small things. She eventually even gets the support of the others as she breaks all the sculptures. And then there comes a point where they feel like she's taken it too far. And when she blows up the Glass Onion and burns the Mona Lisa, the system that is Miles' money and influence is forever broken. Miles, who had invested everything into Klear, was destroyed. The rest of them turn on him because Miles couldn't do anything for them anymore, and they never really liked him in the first place. And Helen's nature as a disrupter was telegraphed from the beginning when she broke the box with a hammer instead of playing Miles' games. That's just a well written script!

[@jeremyfoote2592]

I was going to say the same thing! It’s actually a great character arc with clear foreshadowing… it’s just not the typical resolution you might expect to see in a whodunit style film.

[@agustinbaletti]

Rian Johnson never misses a spot about what he tries to convey into the whole picture.

[@alarrim29574]

I still don’t like the ending😂

[@DarkFoxKirin]

That’s true, it is a decent movie, I quite liked it. I still believe that Knives Out was way better tho.

[@croakinc3670]

Nothing teased early on didn’t pay off in some way by the end, even Darryl came back for a joke.

[@TheMasonK]

The first film had so many twists and turns and I love how the literal title of this film is telling you not to look that deep, that the answer is more obvious than you think and that this isn’t as twisty as the first movie.

[@maggotsxcl7403]

I am happy it was different though cuz doing the same thing would have been boring so I hope this continues with more movies haha plus the movie plays like the song that over laps and it lays a new tune, this movie overlaps and gives more detail

[@louischase122]

We new Chris did it

[@brysonoduyela5779]

@@louischase122 Who’s Chris?

[@EmTom44]

It’s the whole metaphor of a Glass Onion: it’s complex and has many layers because it’s an onion but at the end of the day it’s made of glass and you can see straight through

[@cptayne]

@@louischase122i agree like they gave the others no screen time so it was pretty obvious tbh

[@zbennalley]

My favorite moment was when Miles looked/points at Lionel right after burning the napkin because Lionel was the one that mentioned, "So, you kept the envelope? You didn't burn it or anything??" I mean, at least he acknowledged his idea stealing and gave credit to his friend. 🤷

[@amyriim]

also the reason the Mona Lisa burning will be tied to Miles is bc he explained the thick of the cost of borrowing it was the protective barrier that would come up at the ding of a notification alert. Miles went against those orders & installed an override button that was never supposed to be there (bc, as we know, billionaires think their invincible). The shield did its job protecting the painting until his override button was used, no matter who pushed it bc it wasn’t supposed to be there. Also it was Klear that added (pun intended) fuel to the fire lol.

[@linkjag]

I absolutely love the scene at the beginning when they all meet up in various states of masking. It's a masterclass in how costuming can inform character

[@pistonburner6448]

Masterclass of woke cringe, and a great display of how Hollywood clowns see the world. So simplistic, so naively elementary, there's nothing clever at all about it. Not to mention how unbelievable it was that any movie studio wouldn't understand that by-the-time-the-movie-comes-out-it's-outdated pandemic and mask-wearing stuff is the last thing people want to see. It's the exact opposite of what audiences want, we want to move on from that horrible time, and least of all want to be reminded of it RIGHT AFTER we've just finally moved on from it!

[@tequilawhiskey]

I get what he was going for but i feel like its really gonna date the movie.

[@alexandremorim883]

One of the best things in this film, is that it shows stuff as it happens, like Miles handing Duke the drink, taking his gun and putting it behind his back, putting the gun in the ice bucket, you can see the phone in Miles back pocket, you hear Blanc saying Helen instead of Andi. That's one of the reasons I really like this film, unlike other films that don't show any stuff until the detective tells the story with all the details. But the best part for me is that, as an audience member, you're wondering when the murder mystery is gonna start, but after the flashback you realize that Benoit and Helen have been in the murder mystery the entire time. So freaking amazing. One of the best films I watched in 2022.

[@spacemonkeyentertainment6413]

except when they don't show Helen when she clearly was there. Yes, it's a "well, they didn't notice her, so that is why we don't see her the first time", but it still breaks the rule.

[@4yinyang]

@@spacemonkeyentertainment6413 I am a little confused what you mean by "don't show Helen when she clearly was there." I would have to assume you are referring to when Helen and Blanc spied on Duke? The explanation then is that she was there before the branch broke, making Duke look back. It was in fact Helen breaking the branch when she left, hence why she wasn't there when we see the first reveal that Blanc was watching him. In the flashback we see the reveal that both Blanc and Helen is watching Duke because it takes place right before the branch breaking and the original reveal.

[@ctakitimu]

Lionel even asked him why he kept the real napkin and why he didn't burn it. Miles didn't even come up with that idea! I love that everything was in plain sight the whole time, even though we knew what type of movie it was going to be! Smart and fun movie indeed.

[@mmichael1221]

Darryl is the same actor as Trooper Wagner which explains his perfect comedic timing 😂so glad u guys watched these two

[@christianwise637]

I think the actor, Noah Segan, is actually a close personal friend of Rian Johnson, since he shows up in all of his films - he was also the incompetent henchman Kid Blue in Looper, and he had a small cameo as an X-Wing pilot in The Last Jedi

[@HQofrandom]

*Derol

[@johnnythunder1269]

I thought for sure he would be the killer!

[@solarblacksun603]

Miles will be responsable for the Mona Lisa destruction , not only because of the fuel used in the the house which was not (yet) legal and highly dangerous but because he change the security detail of the painting (the little head thing that open the security around the Mona lisa).

[@masterswordwielder]

I love how you can hear Benoit call her Helen when they meet after Duke's death, but NO reactor ever realized it. Overall, the Foreshadowing is amazing. That the woman destroying the box with a hammer isn't Andi was expertly hidden by Helen being wrapped in towels, so you don't realize the hair and clothing is so different to Andi's. Another great foreshadowing moment is a monologue by Miles: he says something along the lines of "you start destroying something and you destroy more and more even though everyone tells you to stop, and the things you destroy get way too expansive until you destroy something, that no one wants you to destroy". The last thing of course being the Mona Lisa

[@nitasu987]

YES when I watched it for the first time a few days ago I was like wait what he said Helen???? Had to rewatch it a few times to make sure I wasn't crazy.

[@xwinwinwinx]

The first time I watched it I didn't realise he said "Helen!". I thought he said "Heavens", which made sense to me because she was runing straight at him

[@pistonburner6448]

It really requires extremely forced actions to try to find anything supposedly 'clever' about this dumpster fire of a moronic movie. Any trickery using twins before the twin's existence is revealed is incredibly cheap writing, and goes against all the rules and etiquette of writing a murder mystery. And destroying the Mona Lisa was the most monumentally stupid thing in the whole movie. It ties into nothing, it changes nothing meaningful (except giving Helen a looong prison sentence and a debt she'll never be able to pay back), and is one of the most unintelligent plot points in any movie ever.

[@KevinLyda]

Rewatching it here I see that Miles ran in a straight line to block Helen. And she crosses his line to hit his illicit override. Perfect.

[@jdksdj11]

@@pistonburner6448 So destroying the most popular and valuable painting is nothing? Miles would be blamed, bcs he installed an overdrive and ran his island on untested high flammable fuel (He dumped all his money into that project). This movie wasn't supposed to be clever, but simple. It's in the movie title. Instead of a mastermind calculating every move Miles is an idiot acting a genius.

[@MrScripted]

spoiler talk? The whole breaking things scene got better for me when I noticed that it parallels Miles' disruption speech. First someone breaks something. And everyone goes with it cause it's something they all wanted broken anyway. And then she keeps going until everyone tells her to stop. And then she keeps going, breaking the entire glass onion

[@ramuki9427]

Yeah, add to that the fact that the "Shitheads" only decided to stop backing Miles AFTER Helen completely "disrupted" Miles' empire so that no one had anything left to gain from supporting him. Hammers home the point about none of these people being disruptors, but just a bunch of fraudulent hacks that just go with the flow of things.

[@tripled2505]

Yep and to add on to that, she breaks the one thing that no one wants broken: the Mona Lisa

[@Lazai2190]

I think holden isn’t considering that regardless of the technical cause of the mona lisa burning, they don’t want to be associated *at all* with someone who had the mona lisa in their possession when it burned. Their turn was entirely believable because it’s been established throughout the whole film they don’t care about miles at all. It was more pragmatic to lie about the napkin before as Helen had no leverage at all. But the general optics of associating with some who privately rented the mona lisa and was the indirect cause of it burning is too much for them to stay on the boat with him.

[@dansmart3182]

Plus he installed the override that got the Mona Lisa Burned, it would be blamed on Miles. That Alone would do the one thing the shitheads need to turn on him. It removed miles from power. Same thing happened with Andi. The Lawyers worked the contracts and got her removed from her power, then they turned on her.

[@christianwise637]

It's funny how even though Glass Onion has an ostensibly happy ending, there's still an undercurrent of cynicism to it, since the other disruptors only turned on Miles once it became clear it would be career suicide to continue hanging out with him. Even when they're ostensibly doing the "right" thing, the rest of them are still doing it for largely selfish reasons (or at least that's how I interpreted the ending)

[@elbruces]

He can complain all he wants that it's all the fault of some guest he had over to his house, but that wasn't supposed to be able to happen.

[@xwinwinwinx]

Also, I think Holden forgot that Miles said he powers his island on the Klear fuel. So there would be no dispute about it being cause by something other than klear because there was no other fuel e.g. natural gas that is in other homes.

[@wwoods66]

@@christianwise637 Right. I believed Birdy when she says she saw Miles burn the napkin, because of course she did -- it was happened right in front of them all. But when Claire says she'd seen Miles pass his glass to Duke, I didn't really buy it.

[@tulegitimategaminghd1257]

Even if he said there was a gas leak, he was the one responsible for the Mona Lisa and keeping it safe so even if he argues there was a gas leak he will still be remembered (His plan to be remembered on the same level as the Mona Lisa and pointed out by Andi that he will be) as the guy who let the most famous painting in history burn by accidental gas leak. Either way he loses and will be remembered whether it was burned by his own fossil fuel or accident.

[@LoveableNiki]

The Disruptors were unhappy with Miles for the things he "made" them do, and it looked fun/cathartic breaking his stuff. However, that would have been all they were willing to do. They did not want Helen to destroy the piano or The Mona Lisa. That was too far. (It referenced the speech Miles gave sitting down after the pool time.) By The Mona Lisa being destroyed, it was a survival tactic to turn on Miles. It forced their hands.

[@dabe1971]

I love how Kate Hudsons character made her name in sports gear - she co-founded Fabletics for real ! Also note that when you see the quick cuts of her possessions being ransacked there are some LSD sheets with some missing. That's why she's tripper than ever later in the film.

[@hali_55]

Shoutout to Helen, the only _true_ disruptor of the group 😌

[@dylankoch1757]

My immediate thought when Helen sat up after being shot was "did she pull a Theodore Roosevelt?" and then she pulled the diary out of her pocket with a bullet embedded in it and I went "dang, they really had her pull a Theodore Roosevelt. That's Awesome." (For those who are unaware, while on the way to one of his presidential campaign speeches, Theodore Roosevelt was addressing a crowd and someone shot him at point-blank. However, TR had his 50-page speech (and his eyeglasses case) in his coat pocket, which slowed the bullet down enough so that, although it still entered his chest, it didn't pass his ribs. He assessed his own injury, determined he wasn't in immediate danger, and went the rest of the way to the hall and delivered an eighty-minute speech with a bullet lodged between two of his ribs) (The comparison I'm drawing is how a concealed bundle of paper saved someone from a gunshot (obviously, Helen made it off a bit easier since the bullet had to go through a thick pane of glass first, but still))

[@christianwise637]

Wow, I always thought that a bullet being stopped like that was just something that happened in movies, I never thought that something like that would actually happen in real life

[@dylankoch1757]

@@christianwise637 It does happen in real life, but it's a matter of "if you roll the dice enough, you'll get it at some point." The chances are incredibly, INCREDIBLY slim, but it can (and sometimes does) happen, and, when it happened to TR, it basically just made him even more of a badass. Also, this was probably the most realistic instance of a bullet getting stopped in a movie because, as I mentioned, it went through glass that looked pretty thick, which would definitely lower its velocity enough for a small book to stop it

[@jeric281]

Literally I just rewatched this film 30 mins ago.

[@Madison-ur2qn]

I think you got Catherine Hahn and Kate Hudson’s characters mixed up at the end. Claire is specifically a liberal governor (a big part of her base is climate change people), while Birdie is framed as more conservative.

[@okoryogood]

I really loved Glass Onion because of the perspective change. A lot of what made it feel different from Knives Out was the fact that Knives Out was told from the perspective of Marta, whilst Glass Onion was told from Blanc's perspective, which would explain why we as the audience found everything out around the same time as Blanc

I really like both of these movies. But I think I prefer Knives Out more. It just has a better rewatch factor for me. I think part of that is the scene dressing in Knives Out just feels more cozy lol. Also you can feel that Glass Onion just feels more intense and almost more angry than the first one.

[@dnish6673]

As good as the cast is in Glass Onion, the Knives Out cast is just superior.

[@NicholasMcClure]

I mean… really the only reason they turned on him was that it was clear (Klear?) Miles would be ruined after this, so it was now in their interest to abandon him.

Craig has perfect comic timing. Coming from the bond movies and other very serious films. Makes this so surprising.

Like the first Knives Out, the twist and turns throughout this movie are insane!

[@srujan.99]

All the other characters turning on Miles was not supporting Helen. They didn't want to be on Miles side because he's doomed. They were still selfish.

[@eighthdoctor]

Exactly. They only turned on him once they realised the gravy train had been permanently halted.

[@alexanderthegreat5649]

Man I had to pause it when I was watching the film. I was DYING laughing at Kate Hudson "that's great DAB!" To the sweatshop msg. I couldn't stop laughing that shit was just so hilariously blonde girl moment and I could just actually picture her as that character actually doing a dab and being all happy about it. Especially after they already set up her dumbness with the Harriet Tubman and Beyonce comments. One of genuinely best laughs I'd had since Deadpool 2 baby legs scene.

[@smartin4765]

The ending was earned. Helen made it happen. If she did nothing then Miles would’ve gotten away with his dumb plan. Her being an actual disruptor and not a fake like the rest of them lead to his demise (his work, his home, his dream), and with his demise the others continued to be selfish and chose to not be associated with him anymore. They did the right thing in the end, but that didn’t make them any more “good” that’s why Helen left them and went to Blanc, the true catalyst for the outcome, and they shared their moment of victory.

[@billedens4749]

My favorite part of the film is when all of the "disruptors" get their boxes and they all play according to the "rules" of the box. The only one that actually "thinks out side the box" is Andi who refuses to play by the rules and literally disrupts the game and breaks the box.

[@averyabney8772]

I think I loved it even more when I realized it was Helen who opened it, not Andi. Helen had never met Miles, but she knew he had screwed Andi over, and wasn't about to play to his games.

[@206judgementday206]

It's fun going back and watching this, having already seen the film a few times. It wasn't until this reaction that I noticed Duke's phone in Miles' back pocket after Blanc was wondering where it was.

[@72Guyman]

Knives Out is an homage to murder mysteries and Glass Onion is a farce of one (in a good way)! The reason why it took so long to solve is Blanc and us expected the killer to be intelligent and the plan to be well thought out but it wasn't and Miles was truly an idiot and I love how they put so much focus on that! Also love the concept of a glass onion as something layered but transparent.

[@sparkymularkey6970]

I love how Holden is wearing a Batman t-shirt while watching a movie featuring the world's second greatest detective.

[@deathisun8717]

I don't know how holden didn't notice while wearing a batman shirt, but when benoit blanch and helen are talking for the first time he mentions he isn't batman, but a bit later when he comes up with the plan the batman theme plays.

The hourly dong is actually a cameo from Jospeh Gordon Levitt! Love watching you two together!

[@jynthejedi]

One of the things I noticed straight away was before they flashback to Helen and Blanc’s introduction, go back and watch when they run into each other outside after Duke’s death, Blanc calls her by her real name, Helen. That one went over a lot of people’s heads I think.

[@jhornacek]

I love how Blanc says that Clue is a dumb game - running from room to room looking for clues. And yet that's exactly what he has Helen do. She even has a list in her notebook of all the suspects and she puts Xs next to the names - just like you do when playing Clue.

The reason they quickly turned on Miles is because he is now ruined after his fuel burned the painting. No more golden teat.

[@sydhamelin1265]

[@MagatsuUjio]

Ok. So, she started by breaking the glass icons of his largesse. And they cheered. Then she increased the damage until she was breaking a system no one wanted broken. But once it was, they were glad for it. Helen was the only real Disruptor there. She fit Miles’ description to a T and they subconsciously followed as is their nature.

[@haydenlindquist7006]

One small detail, Lionel asks Miles why he kept the envelope instead of burning it. The next shot is him burning the napkin and giving a nod to Lionel. Miles really doesn’t have a unique idea the entire movie

[@БулатСайфугалиев]

Don’t know if somebody else notice and did a point of this, but Hellen breaking all the fragile glass objects is firstly a safety measures, because after the explosion it would bring a big damage to the people in the room.

[@jhornacek]

When Miles says "inbreviate" on the beach you can see Blanc in the background and he has a "Wait, what did he say?" reaction.

[@agustinbaletti]

Your complaint about the ending is solved by the “disruptor” speech that Miles Bron utters. Word for word it can be (and already has been) overlapped by what Helen does and how the rest respond to that. All coming to the climax point at the “Hindenburg” moment.

[@dansmart3182]

Couple of things about the ending that helps to remember. Why did they decide to turn on him? He lost his power. Removed from power the shitheads have no loyalty. It is what happened to Andi. They turned on her as soon as she was ousted from the company. Basically Miles lost his Golden Titties. Also they might be able to cover up that the gas was hydrogen. Although Benoit Blanc stating publicly he was running the house on it would make that difficult. Even if they covered up what caused the fire, it wouldn't cover the fact that the Mona Lisa was in a fireproof case that had an override installed by him. In any case being the guy who destroyed the Mona Lisa would make it impossible to work with him.

[@captainteeko4579]

The first time I saw this I didn’t even notice when Benoit and Helen ran into each other that he called her HELEN!! My brain was like whatever LOL

[@viazon]

They didn't get spurred on by Helen smashing everything and then just decided to turn on Miles. After his invention destroyed the Mona Lisa, they know now that he is ruined. They now have nothing to gain by sticking with him. They no longer want to associate with him anymore, so they decided to turn on him. It's still a completely selfish act from all of them because they are still only concerned with their own reputations.

[@florianklatte6186]

The detail I like the most is Blanc's comment about some "simple childrens puzzles". That's not him tooting his own horn, he normally doesn't show a lot of ego, and at least the music part of the box would be too far removed from his area of expertise to be trivial. But he didn't see the puzzles. He got the smashed box and saw some random puzzle parts strewn around. So he pulled that comment completely from his behind ^^

[@raoulduke8382]

The correct quote was "It's a dangerous thing to mistake thinking without thought, for speaking the truth." Holden mangled it a bit in the outro.

[@wesselm9184]

38:23 you're gonna hear this a lot, but i believe the qoute was: "it's a dangerous thing to mistake speaking without thought for speaking the truth"

[@jabon13]

The reason everyone turned on Miles was due to the fact they realize Helen was right and his brand was going to be destroyed and there was no more “golden titties” to latch on to. They are distancing themselves to minimize the splash on themselves.

[@cobrian45]

Besides the Derol and Dong cameos, another fun piece of info is that by law remakes of art like Mona Lisa for films have to be destroyed with proof. They did it on camera, two birds one stone.

The ending with her braking everything is just a realisation of Miles' own talk about braking things. Note how her "friends" tried to stop her when she went "too far", bringing down the system, represented here by Liberace's piano and the Mona Lisa. Once that "system" was broken, they were free. Hence their behaviour at the end.

It wasn't just her breaking everything that spured them up. They didn't turn on Miles until after she says that his genius fuel just burned up the most famous painting in the world, effectively ruining him. It dawns on them that there's no teet left to cling onto, so they turn on him.

I might be reading too much into this but... knowing that Rian Johnson was criticized so much for "ruining" Star Wars (although I'm more of the opinion that Disney/Kennedy/Abrams didn't know what they were doing from the beginning) maybe this was his way of saying... "Bros, it's not like I burned the Mona Lisa."

I definitely see the Poirot in him, but I'd say he's also half Columbo, in that he disarms people with his humble mannerisms.

[@craigosterberg5045]

Thanks for the review

[@lunalavender5027]

I love the fact that Joseph Gordon Levitt is credited as the Hourly Dong.💜

[@scorpiongurlz89]

Holden, I think you misunderstood what happened in the end. The 'friends' didn't turned on Miles because they suddenly grew a conscience, but they bringing Miles down with them. Claire already signed off using Klear on powerplant. Lionel signed off using Klear on manned mission. They will go down after Klear burned MonaLisa. And Birdie already down because of Bangladesh factory. Speaking of Birdie, Miles kind of smart. He convinced Birdie to take the full responsibility for the Bangladesh factory by promising to pay her the value of her shares. Things is, her shares value definitely will going down after her statement release.

What a great reaction love it

[@ShadowsPlex]

Myyyy favorite ppl, I can't wait for you guys to watch Rebels

[@Tardifosaurus]

Hi Holden and Jen! Happy New Year! Does nobody notice that the alarm "no smoking in the area" is the same as the bunker's in GoldenEye? Nice James Bond eater egg! (I claim it)

[@blujay_1743]

If you want to watch more Edward Norton, I highly recommend Motherless Brooklyn. It's another mystery that he actually directed and acted in as the main character. It's a fantastic movie that went overlooked in theaters.

15:16 Absolutely loved the twist in this movie

[@andrewreiber7691]

Jen hasn’t seen the sixth sense? Get on that holden!!! She’d love it.

[@gregfeasel5874]

This movie was awesome. The second viewing is rather rewarding, as you see the nuggets being thrown throughout. Definitely better than the first one. Stronger thematic center, better production values. The "friends" didn't really changed at the end. They still were awful people. They only "sided" with Helen because Miles was a liability. I also like the fact that Blanc was in the background for the final act. He was responsible for the mansion falling down, but through Helen.

[@ajeetdeginal]

Waiting for RRR bro, with whole gang.

[@wesh9635]

It makes sense that the mystery in first movie was super complex and smart, cause Ransom and Harlen are super smart and make complex mysteries/games. While in Glass Onion, Miles is an idiot so the mystery is a little easier to piece together. Love 1st movie more but still absolutely love this one too!

[@takumi2023]

to counter your comment about the burning of the mona lisa, the defense system should have protected the painting. but because he built an override system, the blame falls to him. as for everyone turning on him, like you said earlier, everyone is looking out for themselves.

[@takumi2023]

also they have purger themselves for lying in court about miles being the one who wrote on the napkin? not sure about this but i did hear this from someone.

[@UWDDS501st]

@Holden Hardman have you ever thought about watching The Chosen at all?

[@dcemerald70]

I thought this was an amazing sequel! It had me on the edge of my seat as if I watching a slasher thriller! I really can’t wait to see what they do for the sequel! It would be cool if Blanc had to face an evil doppelgänger like Holmes had Moriarty. 🕵🏻‍♂️🧅🔪✌🏻

[@sparkymularkey6970]

I just learned the other day that Joseph Gordon-Levitt voiced the Hourly Dong.

[@BobPantsSpongeSquare97]

I like how Dave Bautista is creating a pretty solid film resumè for himself

[@CaturdayNite]

I had caught the drink handoff and incorrect recollection to the event initially, but totally didn't get him calling Andi "Helen" when he ran outside.

[@haidu2416]

I agree, this movie was fun and riveting, it definitely kept my attention. P.S. I wonder how Mr & Mrs. Hardman pronounces 'Craigslist'....

[@FLQueerLiberal1982]

Janelle Monae is such an amazingly beautiful woman, inside and out. Just stunning. But she doesn't have just her beauty. She is intelligent and well-spoken, kind and caring, talented, and fierce. If I were straight, I'd have the biggest crush on her.
