To those wondering if the host wouldn't have known right from the start what's up with And ... he knew. He looked surprised, almost shocked, at the marina not because Andi had finally accepted his invitation but because he knew what was going on. He decided to play along because what else could he have done?

Please read this review “Knives Out’ & ‘Glass Onion’ Parallels, Explained: Marta, Andi, Helen, Peg & The Plight Of Women Of Color In USA” and consider rewatching the movie: https://dmtalkies.com/knives-out-and-glass-onion-parallels-explained-2022-film-rian-johnson/

Also the sexism: Marta - nurse. Helen -teacher. Those were the two approved professions my mother was offered when she went to college in the late 40’s.

Most reviews say Pg13+

A woman wears skimpy/slinky clothes; a scene shows her kissing and straddling someone on a bed while wearing a bikini. Quick glimpse of a sex toy and condoms. Some violence.

+ bad language etc

Probably watchable with teens. I wouldn't have it on with my young kids around

Seriously? I doubt young kids would even be interested in what was happening on screen. Too much talking.

When i read this before watching the movie, I had totally different idea of what the dong was.

If they were part of the main cast, why were they listed that way (not with the main cast?)

Those are considered better placements and are carefully negotiated. First best, the "and" second best and "with" being third best.

I thought it was a lot of fun. I liked the original better but I'd absolutely buy a ticket to see a third one.

Janelle Monae was the MVP of this one.

+1 the original was way more of a WHOA moment for me, it felt more cleverly layered and revealed. And the setting / background was less distracting so it felt.mlre about the people and personalities.

The beginning of this one was slow as well.

That said, I enjoyed it - it's fun and worth watching. Just expected an even bigger reveal after reading reviews that thought this was better than the first.

Do you have to watch Knives Out to watch the second one? I was unable to sit through Knives Out, although I tried several times.

I don’t know why you’d want to watch the second one if you didn’t like the first one! It’s another murder mystery with the same detective, in a similar style
