Knives Out

Charlyn and Fyx are back after a spring/early summer of gardening, isolation, and depression! We apologize for having such a long gap since our last podcast, and we hope you can bear with us as we try to get back on track. In this episode, we discuss the fun and cheeky Knives Out, its relationship to the mystery stories that have gone before, and the pointed conversations about class and racism the film definitely throws right at those tense, family-filled holiday dinner tables. Can you guess which Thrombey we think is the worst of the rotten bunch? You probably can!
