Without further ado, here is her Patreon clip.

0:31.2

But Carrie Washington is the one where I was, I kind of, I wanted more from her.

0:34.4

Right.

0:34.6

Because the little she gets, I think she makes the biggest impact out of all these characters,

0:39.2

save for Glenn Close.

0:40.7

Powerhouse actress, anybody who's watched Scandal knows what she's capable of.

0:45.1

And here it definitely is, oh, okay, you're a tertiary character.

0:48.8

When you get something to do, it is very exciting because she knows how to be the lead.

0:55.6

Oh, and she gets the film's fuck. So, I mean, good for her. And yeah, I think I'll remember this too because I,

1:02.2

uh, you know, I'm asking again in a year, but I think I'll. Yeah. Yeah, when we're talking

1:06.4

about Knives Out for whatever format that looks like probably won't be with Netflix. It probably won't be anytime soon because it does seem like Johnson wants to go off and make some quote unquote original films, but we shall see. I don't think that this is the end. I don't think this is a trilogy capper. I think this is just entry number three. No, I think whenever we finally end this, it's going to have to be something that hits, like, really close to home for Ben Woblong. Oh, you mean maybe we'll bring back his husband? Maybe we'll bring back. Yeah, right? The husband is never, we at least have him condemning, like, just the general concept of the church and homophobia. But there's no, which, by the way, I'm a gay man. so that's really offensive. No. I mean, obviously does that condemnation of homophobia, as you suggested. But I think there's only really like one other significant queer signifier in this. And I'm going to say it's his cuty little kitten heels that we see when he's up on the stage doing his preaching monologue. I was like, girl, look at them heels. He's got like a one and a half inch on them. I don't know. I think the way he was manhandling Munseigneur Wix's corpse, but the wiggly, wiggly, wiggly, wiggly was pretty gay too. It's true. Yeah, it does seem as if Daniel Craig is a little bit more comfortable embracing the character's queerness, but we're definitely not making a big deal of it.

2:18.2

Oh, yeah. I mean, there is no Hugh Grant in this movie, if you remember him from his,

2:22.1

you know, five seconds of screen time and Glass Onion. I cannot, but yes. Okay. Okay.
