All the scaffolding has been put in place - and is that a crock of gold? Looks awful like it!
(there are only two things ever contained in a crock)
Would the muppets tolerate Paddington also?

Charles Grodin has so far not accepted the offer for this movie.

I love the fact that, when presented with the idea, Rian Johnson considered it seriously before deciding it wasn’t a combination that would work, because it would require compromising one half or the other in a way that would necessarily be unsatisfying.

This edit is really good, though!

That was so well done - although it is funny to see the color palette shift between the two Knives Out movies.

"Alright, Netflix and Rian Johnson. You have your marching orders. Get to it."

Or, in other words, "The Benoit ball's in your court."

"The Benoit ball's in your court."

I've never heard it called that before.

He has been dead since 2021 so that might be the reason.

I expected it to somehow tie back to the actual Rainbow Connection song, with Blanche trying to solve the mystery of the questions posed in the lyrics.
