This week, every movie is a suspect. Jon and Will discuss the latest releases, including Rian Johnson’s modern whodunnit-murder-mystery ensemble, Knives Out, which stars way too many people to mention. We also talk Christmas movies on streaming, catch up on recent flicks we missed, and cover a few indies you might want to add to your ever-growing radar.
This week’s theme music is “Knives Out! (String Quartet in G Minor)” by Nathan Johnson and can be found on the original soundtrack for Knives Out.
Question of the Week: What are some 2019 movies you want to catch up on over the holidays? (Last week’s question, but added to this week as well!)

I’m really looking forward to catching THE IRISHMAN on Netflix once I have some time off. I’ve thought about watching a little per day (I have kids, so all at once is pretty difficult for me), but the holidays should be a great time for me to stay up a little late and finally watch it in full, which I would prefer.
I have a yearly tradition of avoiding Marvel movies at the box office and just watching all the ones I missed with my extended family when we’re together for Christmas. So this year we’re watching Captain Marvel, Avengers Endgame, and Spider-Man Far From Home. But I kinda want to throw in Aquaman and Shazam, too, since we’ll have the extra time and I’ve heard such good things!
