That day came on Christmas when I was seven years old. In my stocking was a Boy Scout camper’s knife, the kind that had a blade and a can opener. I carried that thing with me as much as I could. My fascination with knives continues today; I love seeing what knives other men carry and checking Huckberry to see what new blades they’ve got in.
Like the title says, we’re talking about the new Rian Johnson whodunit Knives Out, and the Kacey Musgrave Christmas Show today. An unlikely pairing you may think, but allow me to explain. So the thing is, these both came out over the holiday weekend and we watched both of them. Ta da! That’s why they’re paired.
Funny enough though, Knives Out actually feels like a perfect Thanksgiving movie. It does not take place on Thanksgiving, but it happens in the Fall in Massachusetts, and it follows the hijinks of a family of less than desirable people trying to figure out what happened to their patriarch. It feels Thanksgivingy and that the best way we can describe it. Not only that but it is kind of a fun for the whole family kind of movie. It’s not gory, it’s not full of cursing, there’s no nudity, etc. So next year when everyone is stuffed full of food and falling asleep, throw on Knives Out and extend your family fun time by a couple hours. Also, we absolutely loved it so you should go see it.
On to the Kacey Musgraves Christmas show, which takes a little explaining. This show was released on Amazon and it’s essentially one of those variety shows you might see from the 50s or 60s. It’s a stage show, recorded live, choc full of Christmas songs new and old, with plenty of special guests. If you like Christmas, Kacey, or fun then you should check it out. Again, we totally loved it.
Both of these pieces are great for the long Thanksgiving weekend. Knives Out is a perfect Thanksgiving movie, and the Kacey special really sets up the vibe for Christmas. You really can’t go wrong with either, though seeing Knives Out requires leaving the house, at least right now. So put on your thinking cap and settle in for today’s episode of So…I’m Watching This Show!

While the star-studded cast alone might be enough to draw audiences into theaters for Knives Out (opening Nov. 27), the mystery at its center is what's keeping them in their seats, if early reviews are anything to go by. At its core, it's a 'whodunit' mystery, with a veritable mansion full of people trying to figure out who murdered a famous novelist. It's a premise that sounds like it was pulled right from any murder mystery novel, but Knives Out isn't actually based on a specific book. The story just feels incredibly familiar, and it owes that familiarity to some classic mystery literature and a certain cult film.
Like any good murder mystery, it's probably best to go into Knives Out completely blind. That way, the twists and turns that are the bread and butter of the mystery genre can feel all the more surprising and suspenseful. But just in case that's not how you operate, here's a little more context: In Knives Out, famous novelist Harlan Thrombey (Christopher Plummer) invites his family to join him in his mansion for his 85th birthday party. But the morning after the party, they find Harlan dead. It falls to famous detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) to sort through each family member's possible motives for murdering Harlan and figure out who might have killed him.
If that premise sounds familiar, it's because it should. In a chat with Variety, director Rian Johnson cited his love of a specific author's work when developing Knives Out. 'I grew up reading Agatha Christie’s books,' he said. 'I wanted to make a whodunit for forever. Ten years ago, I had a very basic idea for this and have just had it cooking ever since.' Christie, a famous mystery novel author who published 66 mystery novels between 1920 and 1976, was the creator of Hercule Poirot, a fictional Belgian police detective who, in the vein of Sherlock Holmes, was said to be 'one of the greatest detectives of all time.' As mentioned in the trailer, detective Benoit Blanc carries a similar reputation, and the circumstances surrounding his investigations carry thematic similarities to Poirot's. As Johnson told Empire Magazine, 'Benoit Blanc has some of the elements of Poirot, in that he’s a bit self-inflated, but there’s a warmth to him which shines through with Daniel [Craig].'

But the similarities to other beloved mysteries don't stop at Christie. The film has drawn comparisons to 1985's Clue, which was a cult classic murder mystery parody based on the board game. There, in similar fashion, a group of six people (albeit strangers, not family) are invited to a mansion for dinner. But after the host turns up dead, it's up to them to find out who the killer is before they strike again. Clue has more of a parodic, comedic tone, which contrasts with Knives Out, as Johnson notes in a chat with Vulture. 'I had to make very clear to everybody that we’re not doing Clue,' he said. 'It’s not an arch parody. It’s going to be fun and it’s going to be funny, but the goal here is to do something that has the actual pleasures of the genre.' Judging by early reviews of Knives Out, it seems he's succeeded.
