Knives Out (w/ Erin A.)

Episode 178: Knives Out (2019)

Theme: Patreon Subscriber Choice Month
Hosts: Oz & Curtis (featuring Erin A.)

This week, Oz and Curtis (with special guest and sibling extraordinaire Erin A.) dive into Knives Out — a movie marriage of Murder on the Orient Express meets Scooby-Doo with a dash of Columbo, all tied together by America’s Ass himself. Daniel Craig debuts his foghorn-leghorn-detective accent, Chris Evans weaponizes a sweater, and a family of entitled narcissists learns that maybe—just maybe—they shouldn’t underestimate the immigrant nurse they can’t even agree what country she’s from. It’s twisty, smart, hilarious, and full of donut-hole metaphors that somehow make perfect sense.

Join your three favorite “did he really say ‘eat poop’ in a PG-13 movie?” podcasters as they unravel:

• Benoit Blanc’s glorious Kentucky-fried accent and impeccable sleuth swagger.

• The Thrombey family’s Olympic-level entitlement — and their instant switch from “you’re family” to “you seduced Grandpa.”

• Marta’s weaponized empathy, inability to lie, and the most heroic puke in cinematic history.

• Ransom’s whole chaos-goblin energy — sweaters, smarm, and truly terrible life choices.

• The perfect final image: Marta on the balcony, sipping from My House, My Rules, while the family looks up in disbelief.

From fake knives to real motives, Fran’s spider moment to that disastrously slow car chase, Oz, Curtis, and Erin dissect a modern whodunnit that proves Rian Johnson knows exactly how to carve up a mystery… donut holes and all.

Final Verdict

Oz — 9 Fisherman Sweaters
Curtis — 87 Big Gulps Full of Puke
Erin — 8½ Knives (the half being retractable)
All — Still debating how many countries Marta is actually from.
