About this listen

The knives are out and there's a mystery to solve, as we unpack the Glass Onion - Rian Johnson’s bold sequel to his modern whodunit hit. Daniel Craig returns as the irresistibly eccentric detective Benoit Blanc, this time solving a murder amid the glossy chaos of a billionaire’s Greek island getaway. With Edward Norton leading a cast of suspects including Janelle Monáe, Kate Hudson, and Dave Bautista, the film swaps dusty mansions for dazzling modern excess - and peels back the layers of wealth, power, and stupidity one by one.

We explore how Glass Onion builds on (and sometimes outshines) the original Knives Out: from the colourful new cast of egos to the shift from intimate family drama to social satire. There’s sharp debate over whether its sun-drenched island and loud personalities elevate or dilute the classic whodunit feel and, of course, plenty of appreciation for Craig’s southern-fried sleuthing charm.
