Daniel Craig: 2 lines career ×1 verdict ×1

  1. career (career): Daniel Craig → Knives Out. Craig's Skyfall is his Apex Mountain; Knives Out lacks equal power.
    “He's pretty great in knives out.”

K Callan: 1 line verdict ×1

  1. verdict (verdict): K Callan → Knives Out. Putters and Murmurs shout-out; who played 'Mock Kent' on Lewis and Clark: the Adventures of Superman (as transcribed).

Looper: 1 line people ×1

  1. people (same director): Knives Out → Looper. Brick, Brothers Bloom, and Looper are variations on a theme told in different tones.

Parasite: 1 line contrast ×1

  1. contrast (contrast): Parasite → Knives Out. Both are true ensembles, so neither could campaign a single acting nominee.

Rian Johnson: 1 line unmapped ×1

  1. unmapped (sampler): Knives Out → Rian Johnson. Johnson is a genre island hopper and good sampler whose references inform rather than annoy, like DJ Premier.
    “He's a good sampler.”
