The way you figured out Benoit's sexuality not through the brief scene of Hugh Grant as his husband but through the lack of a gag reflex is so funny to me
I just love that the ending shot is of Helen giving the camera a "Mona Lisa" smile. Just like Miles said in the movie "Is she happy? Is she sad? Is it something else?" So good
i had to play that scene again too cuz at first i thought she looked happy but then kinda sad and then just kinda... indescribable? and that's when i realized the Mona Lisa parallel it was so goodddd, Janelle Monae deserves every flower she can get for this performance
@@veronicapomar6010 Same, they’re two completely different stories but this one was much more fun I’d say. They’re both equally great but the first is darker too.
I love love how Daniel Craig can go from such a serious, iconic and suave character like James Bond. To a flamboyant, also iconic, comedic character like Benoit Blanc
The scene when everyone meets up in Greece is so brilliant because you're able to see exactly who they are just by how they're treating the pandemic. Lionel and Claire are both wearing their masks and staying away, showing their cautious personalities, Birdie is wearing the Lana mesh 'mask' and takes it off as soon as she can, and Duke doesn't even try to pretend to care about the protocol and comes in riding a bike with Whiskey, shooting out of a gun because 'it's for protection'. Andi comes later showing that she's a bit of a mystery to us, and Blanc is just watching them and is very intrigued. Such a great scene.
Claire is also wearing the mask incorrectly and so keeps having to touch it and her face to fix it, defeating the purpose of wearing the mask in the first place. Showing she only cares about the outward appearances of doing the right thing and doesn't bother understanding how to correctly do that thing or educate herself about why it needs to be done properly.
Don't know if anybody else mentioned the mythological aspect, but its so fitting that its in Greece- the twins names reflect their roles perfectly. Helen (as in Helen of Troy) coming in unnoticed to tear down everything from within and Cassandra, the woman who was cursed to see the future and have no one believe her (eg. seeing how bad 'Klear' actually was in the first place and no one really believing her and being killed for it). Whats even cooler, is that these two myths are actually connected to one another, but this comment is already long enough lol
I love that, especially on rewatch, you do see how dumb Miles is. He burnt the napkin because earlier in the film Benoit called him an idiot for not doing so. He went to kill Andi in his own car, the only car of its kind in the world. Miles also didn't think to ask WHO of friends invited Benoit to the island. The there's the fact that he shot Helen with gloves on, implying some forethought... but wasn't wearing gloves when he stole that gun off Duke. Just overall he's not the brightest bulb.
I’m glad you felt the undertones of when Miles went “you think you popped me like a gangsta” because when I first heard that I was like HUH?!?!😭😭😭 also the delivery of “you got your wish, to be mentioned in the same breath as the Mona Lisa” like SOOOOO GOOD, I get chills every time🫠
She's the 1st I've seen point out how weird the "gangsta" line is (at least in their edited version for RUclips, maybe others said something in their full length reactions). Very glad other people also got the undertones.
the friends just said that they saw miles do it at the end because he didn’t have anything to give them anymore! they still only care about themselves because miles suddenly cannot provide anything for them
yep, you can see their faces change when Helen says "congratulations on the public launch of Klear, and *the end of Miles Bron*". That was the moment they decided to turn on him, because at the end of the day, they're shitheads who do what's best for themselves.
@@theclairewhy But if they just told the truth about Helen causing the fire and intentionally destroying the Mona Lisa, then Miles would have collected the insurance money and they all could have gone on with their lives. They clearly were prepared to stay on his side even after he killed Duke. Instead they agree to lie a second time, which will ruin all of their lives in the process.

First smashing a bunch of small sh*t (the pretentious decorative art) that no one really cared about and kind of wanted to see broken anyways so they’ll support you, then smash bigger things (the bar top, burning down the mansion) and people will get apprehensive, won’t be on your side anymore. Then there’s the line that no one wants you to cross, something no one wants to see destroyed (the Mona Lisa) and a disruptor will see that line (cue double middle finger motion) and cross it. Also follows through on Andy’s email of “burning down his empire.”
I did a double take at her saying that TV/movies haven't really picked up on the pandemic, because I've seen SO many now who clearly acknowledge this timeline and use it as an important plot point.

It's wonderful to see Kate Hudson and Kathryn Hahn costar in a movie almost twenty years after "How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days." Plus, Benoit Blanc might just be my favourite Daniel Craig role, even over James Bond!
Hugh Grant is playing Benny's husband - Hugh confirmed it, himself! AAAAAA! Also, this movie franchise has quickly become a favorite - especially with this one. If they could just keep making these forever, that'd be swell, thanks. And I love how Daniel Craig played 007 for umpty billion movies but when he was done with that, he was like 'yes, I would like to play a fancy, gay Southern gentleman who solves crimes' and I love him so much for that.
Daniel Craig and Rian Johnson have both said that they'll continue this series as long as both of them are interested. There's one more movie that's confirmed, but I would expect a 4th or maybe 5th film in the future
Holy shit! I never noticed, but Bennie is carefully at the dock first and watching/judging each attendee as they arrive, but when “Andy” pulls up and everyone’s reacting, the camera shot shows that he literally has his back to her arrival as he watches all of their reactions. This movie has so many of these little Easter eggs/the truth hidden in plain sight.
It's wonderful to see Edward Norton make a comeback. Many of his previous characters are typically the smartest guys in the room... And then there's Miles, who LIKES to think he is, but is woefully incompetent!
A woman in another reaction video pointed out that Norton's character in The Italian Job also couldn't come up with their own ideas. He couldn't think of what to spend the money on and just stole everyone else's ideas. So this character is likely a nod to that one.
The fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the voice of the hourly dong still makes me giggle lol Edit: "Money does not buy taste" Actually, that's another part of Miles's story. He has a painting or two that are upside down
This whole movie is truly a glass onion. It appears to have so many layers while everything is actually in plain sight. I saw Miles hand Duke the glass the first time I watched and knew it was intentional because Miles is the one who made the drink. The scene where "Andi" is running up to Blanc, he calls her "Helen." When Duke says he almost got pancaked, he said it twice, the first time being that Miles was the one who nearly ran him over. I knew that wasn't a coincidence. Even down to the motive. The only one really face losing anything is Miles because everyone else got what they have from him. Everything is thrown right in your face and then we peel back the layers of why. It's like the first film, they showed us what happened, but there was more to the story. So, I hope there's more of this series cuz it really is a fun ride even if you solved the mystery early.
The cast and the delivery in this movie is crazy. They managed to have a los of big celebrities and they did what needed to be done. I need more 'Knives Out' mistery movies too!
Him burning the napkin was my favorite part of the movie. They always do that in movies, parade some key piece of evidence in front of the bad guy and he never does the obvious and easy thing: destroy it, but finally in this movie he did.
It's not even like the friends took a long time to come to their senses. It's that even when they did back Helen, it was only because they realized Miles was ruined and they couldn't get anything from him anymore.
The moment "best head" was mentioned I was WAITING for the moment her jaw dropped at Blanc. I couldnt even remember if he gagged but I trusted in him ❤️ also i adore that ur the only reactor who gave the energy needed at Helens final line about the Mona Lisa
I remember being excited when I heard Janelle Monáe would be in this film, but I love that she ended up being the star of the entire thing next to Daniel Craig. I've enjoyed all her film performances immensely, from Hidden Figures and Moonlight to Harriet and Antebellum. She came through with another solid one here, and it was so fun watching the twist with her character play out! 👏👏👏
@@Saffa_316 I agree it was backdated , but I think you should care more about actual issues regarding homophobia than a handgesture in a reaction video that was obviously not meant in a homophobic way, or just continue attacking everyone in the comments talking about it. whatever makes you happiest lmao
I love that Rian Johnson makes these whodunnits now with all the dramatic tension of a classic Agatha Christie-style one (looking for clues, being sus of everybody, will the detective find the killer, the satisfaction of seeing all these details fall into place) while consciously breaking all the story tropes. Like in Knives Out when 30mins in he tells you whodunnit, so it becomes a spy-thriller-like 'will she get found out' for the 2nd act, but then it turns out whoACTUALLYdoneit and how and why, and it's so satisfying. Or in this one, when the investigation of the ACTUAL murder starts before the movie begins, but we don't know that that's what Blanc and Andi/Helen are there for, but all the reasons we were sus of all the other people (they were signposting Miles' murder so incredibly hard that much like Miles' 'ideas' it'd be too dumb to follow through) still pay off for playing into a plot we didn't know was even happening at first. Also, yes Daniel Craig kills it so hard, and the dinner scene where he wants an ipad I guess and literally can't wait to solve this hacky-ass murder mystery game ruining the entire weekend in 3 seconds flat makes me laugh every single time.
The best part of the movie is that they didn’t really hide who killed Duke.. in the scene where he died (not the flashback) you can see miles hand him the drink The thing they did hide was Helen and Cassandra’s death; so that was the real ‘mystery’. It’s so fun to rewatch it because you can see everything that you missed; her throwing the recorder in birdies bag, the irony in miles rant about breaking things, etc
The irony about Miles' disruption speech is exquisite. The climax plays out exactly like that speech. From the small thing, to the slightly bigger thing where others will want to join you, to the part where you push past and everyone around isn't onboard as you break what they don't want broken. Helen goes through every stage of that speech in the climax. She becomes the "Disruptor" that Miles so admires and pretends to be.
This movie was SO ICONIC for me and I'm so glad you were loving it. I liked Benoit from the first movie but FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE with him in this. Also Janelle as Helen, I have never rooted for someone so much.
There's so many clever things about this movie. From the way how each character wears their masks at the beginning shows their personality and how much they care for other people (and Birdie's covid party), the movie showing how rich people will accept that a random "oral medication" will somehow make them not catch covid and the only one who questions it is Blanc. Then the movie literally shows you Miles handing Duke the glass but then switches it after. Blanc saying he's horrible at stupid things and so he overthinks the stupid murder(s). Not to mention the last and most powerful scene, when Janelle Monae, covered in ash and soot, turns and looks at the camera posing as the Mona Lisa
Fun fact: there’s a Beatles song called glass onion, which was created out of the band’s frustration with people looking to deeply into every single lyric they write. The song is intentionally simple and meaningless, so it’s interesting that miles is playing a Beatles song as they arrive on the island
Loved this commentary Ash but gotta correct you on one thing, they did NOT come to their senses, they only went against Miles bc he isn't of use to them anymore
It was very telling that when Duke died, Claire was more worried about news of it releasing and getting negative press than him. Thank you for this video! Loved your reaction.
@@SalehaAli ok girlie what's problematic is using a hand gesture that is so backdated and stereotypical and honestly disgusting to fetishize non-hetero people into a little box for the lols. And in other videos using the imposter sound bit from among us as a sign that she thinks someone is queer. And then call yourself an ally. Problematic beyond. And if you have anything else to say then maybe check yourself because I'm too disgusted to try convince you that fetishizing gay people with outdated jokes for the lols is absolutely unacceptable
I love the last shot of Helen sitting like the Mona Lisa. Just like they said about the painting, you it's hard to tell if she's happy or sad. I'm sure Helen is both happy and sad at the end
6:52 fun fact, during the game awards last year, they briefly mentioned this show alongside among us, and I think the majority of us watching at the time were like, ".... why is James Bond talking about among us. 💀" Like, it didn't even register to me that they were explaining the show would have a reference to it, lol. So finally, seeing the reason for that collaboration is extra funny now. So while it's true that pop culture references ages a show, I feel like, in this instance, the reference is so obscure enough that it's funny.
Since apparently a lot of ppl haven’t seen movies like Harriet and Moonlight (although their screen time was pretty short) JANELLE FREAKING MONAE singer-actor fr, Kathryn,Madeline, and Kate ATE loved them all💜 especially Kates character humor
I don't really watch + enjoy watching reaction videos bc some/most are so mean and don't really*feel* the characters but you are the only one I can watch and enjoy bc you make it feel like I'm watching it with a friend and you *connect* with the character and try to understand them and just AHHH you are the best
my family and i tried to play a game where you had to lock in your guesses for the murderer after 20min but the movie totally messed it up 😂 no one was right
Not sure if this was mentioned, but Derol was played by Noah Segan, who also played Trooper Wagner in Knives Out, and is a Rian Johnson regular. Another Rian Johnson regular is Joseph Gordin-Levitt, who did the hourly dong voice, and also had a small voice cameo as a tv detective in Knives Out. Also, the people in Blan'c game of Among Us consisted of legends in Angela Lansbury of Murder, She Wrote, Stephen Sondheim, along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Natasha Lyonne.
omg , ash what the heck, i’ve literally been binging you’re videos all morning and the second i finish one THERE’S A NEW ONE?? how did you know?? such a queen ily
I watched Knives Out 3 days before Glass Onion was released on Netflix. I enjoyed a lot both movies but i liked the precuel way more and mostly because of the bad guy. Evans plays really good villains !
I remember Edward Norton talking about how he saw Hamilton live three times. Which is pretty much something only a rich person could do at that time. The irony isn't lost on me.
Ok there needs to be a RUclips vid entitled: "Kate Hudson being her mother for 5 min straight". Goldie Hawn, her mom, is a legendary actress who was in a lot of comedy films and is known for her over exaggeration style and campy acting methods. Ms. Kate Hudson was serving hardcore. I was getting Overboard, Private Benjamin, and Protocol vibes.
Their departure scene is meant to showcase their true self in a subtle way: lionel wears the (assuming) the kf94, he's the scientist and he knows before it reconmmended. claire's mask doesn't fit properly and contstanly touches it, she's a politician and cares for the surface image, not necessarily the best way. Birdie's mask is mesh and she's a fashion designer and is shown to be intolerant, she doesn't care as long she's not affected. Duke is not wearing a mask, he's (seems to be) a right-wing youtuber, probably doesn't care. Detective Benoit's mask seems to be cordinated with his outfit and fits well, he has a eye for details. Helen's mask is Andi Another detail is the Andi, who spoke out against the danger of klear, was not believed and punished and Helen, her twin is the one who destroys Miles could be a parellel to Cassandra of Troy, a seer who is cursed that no one will believe her gift and her twin, Helenus who tin some accounts voluntarily told the way to destroy troy.
And I love that you did it by making a disgusting backdated joke showing how you fetishize non-hetero people and then call yourself an ally while turning their entire struggle into a crass joke for the lols what an absolute queen we love to see it 🤡🤮
@@Saffa_316 As a pan bigender person I can confirm, it is not fetishizing at all. Those are kinds of jokes that are very common in queer and ally circles. It's not meant with any malice, or fetishization, at least from what I can see. The wrist movement is way more common now as a dogwhistle than just a stereotype. And the blowjob joke was just because she had already made the joke before with the other people, and was just surprised to see where it led, not knowing that Benoit would be the only one not reacting. I see your point and I appreciate it, but I don't think it applies in this case.
I had such a fun time watching Glass Onion, it really threw me for a loop! Also I need Kathryn Hahn to just be in everything from now until the end of time.
Dukes mom is a genius when it comes to puzzles and I love it. Also when was among us cringy, I thought people still played it or at least the people I watch do.
people dissing on among us haven’t discovered the world of modded. feels like i’ll never get tired of learning new roles and watching people kill each other in space
I've watched like a dozen of these and you're the first person I've seen get squicked out by the "YOU THINK YOU POPPED ME LIKE A GANGSTER?" Thank you, I caught that too, like
Explaining Among Us to Daniel Craig must have at least been easier than explaining it to Angela Lansbury, who listened for a while and finally told Rian Johnson to just tell her her lines because she didn't get it LOL. Also the fact that Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury's last roles were of them playing Among Us is sending me
AHH, Miss Ashley you’re SOOO close to 1 mil I’m so excited for your new fans to join the fandom🎉. I remember when you only had a few thousand subs. I’m so proud of you❤.
One of my favourite parts of the Knives Out movies is that they show you the 'real' scenario pretty early in. In Knives Out, we saw what happened with Marta and Harlan in the first third, and here, you learn about Helen around when we hit the halfway mark (ish). Then from there, you're trying to figure out what REALLY happened! It's super genius, lets you feel like you're 'in on it' while still having a guessing game! I could watch a Knives Out movie and Benoit Blanc for as long as Rian Johnson makes them, they are so fun
i remember watching glass onion for the first time and thinking there was no way they could top knives out and being so utterly ashamed i was wrong. im a SUCKER for classic murder mysteries and the writers on this were PERFECT
If you like Daniel Craig in this, you should watch Logan Lucky! It’s like Oceans 11 but with hicks and Daniel Craig plays one of said hicks. Also has Channing Tatum and Adam Driver. So good.

yet he still always plays the bad guy!!
@@gisellxe what about Fight Club and Hulk?
@@userunknown1578 In Fight Club, he was the leader of a te*rorist cult group.
The fact that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is the voice of the hourly dong still makes me giggle lol
Edit: "Money does not buy taste"
Actually, that's another part of Miles's story. He has a painting or two that are upside down
yes i love that rian johnson has him and a few others cameo in all his movies, it's adorbale
FR?? Omg that made this movie a hundred times better for me than it already was😭😭
HE WAS WHAT LMAOAOAOOO
SO THATS WHY HES IN THE CAST LIST!! lmao
No way really??😂😂 he’s amazing
I like that they didn't just put in pandemic references, but used it to help further develop the characters.
This whole movie is truly a glass onion. It appears to have so many layers while everything is actually in plain sight. I saw Miles hand Duke the glass the first time I watched and knew it was intentional because Miles is the one who made the drink. The scene where "Andi" is running up to Blanc, he calls her "Helen." When Duke says he almost got pancaked, he said it twice, the first time being that Miles was the one who nearly ran him over. I knew that wasn't a coincidence. Even down to the motive. The only one really face losing anything is Miles because everyone else got what they have from him. Everything is thrown right in your face and then we peel back the layers of why. It's like the first film, they showed us what happened, but there was more to the story. So, I hope there's more of this series cuz it really is a fun ride even if you solved the mystery early.
"...and guess what wasn't there?"
SLEEPING PILLS
"a red envelope."
THAT TOO
girl I said the exact same thing
“you’re a taurus.”
“i AM.”
DID ANYONE ELSE SCREAM AT THAT MOMENT 😭😭
ME
Whiskey was one of my favourite charaters!😂
The cast and the delivery in this movie is crazy. They managed to have a los of big celebrities and they did what needed to be done. I need more 'Knives Out' mistery movies too!
Him burning the napkin was my favorite part of the movie. They always do that in movies, parade some key piece of evidence in front of the bad guy and he never does the obvious and easy thing: destroy it, but finally in this movie he did.
i love that you described daniel craig's career as "serious-man-dramatic testosterone" roles, never heard anything more REAL
It's not even like the friends took a long time to come to their senses. It's that even when they did back Helen, it was only because they realized Miles was ruined and they couldn't get anything from him anymore.
The moment "best head" was mentioned I was WAITING for the moment her jaw dropped at Blanc. I couldnt even remember if he gagged but I trusted in him ❤️
also i adore that ur the only reactor who gave the energy needed at Helens final line about the Mona Lisa
joseph gordon-levitt being credited for the hourly dong is my fav thing ever lmao
I remember being excited when I heard Janelle Monáe would be in this film, but I love that she ended up being the star of the entire thing next to Daniel Craig.
I've enjoyed all her film performances immensely, from Hidden Figures and Moonlight to Harriet and Antebellum.
She came through with another solid one here, and it was so fun watching the twist with her character play out! 👏👏👏
Ashley’s reaction to blanc with the best head test thing is s e n d i n g me im losing my mind
So the hand gesture thing is just funny? Not disgusting? Not backdated? Not embarrassing? Not homophobic as FUCK? good to know
@@Saffa_316 it really is not as big of a deal as you make it out to be, yes
@@hadassahdh I'm so glad you think so. You're wrong, it is a big deal, but keep telling yourself whatever you need to
@@Saffa_316 I agree it was backdated , but I think you should care more about actual issues regarding homophobia than a handgesture in a reaction video that was obviously not meant in a homophobic way, or just continue attacking everyone in the comments talking about it. whatever makes you happiest lmao
@@hadassahdh all I ever wanted was to know what you think 🤡
Angela Lansbury's little cameo has me in tears! The true icon of murder mysteries
I didn’t ever clock that I’ll have to rewatch! She’s an icon.
Someone finally made the “gag reflex” joke on that “oral shot” scene 😂😂
I didn't even realize while watching it myself! I was wondering why his reaction was off and different from everyone else's 🤣
I love that Rian Johnson makes these whodunnits now with all the dramatic tension of a classic Agatha Christie-style one (looking for clues, being sus of everybody, will the detective find the killer, the satisfaction of seeing all these details fall into place) while consciously breaking all the story tropes.
Like in Knives Out when 30mins in he tells you whodunnit, so it becomes a spy-thriller-like 'will she get found out' for the 2nd act, but then it turns out whoACTUALLYdoneit and how and why, and it's so satisfying.
Or in this one, when the investigation of the ACTUAL murder starts before the movie begins, but we don't know that that's what Blanc and Andi/Helen are there for, but all the reasons we were sus of all the other people (they were signposting Miles' murder so incredibly hard that much like Miles' 'ideas' it'd be too dumb to follow through) still pay off for playing into a plot we didn't know was even happening at first.
Also, yes Daniel Craig kills it so hard, and the dinner scene where he wants an ipad I guess and literally can't wait to solve this hacky-ass murder mystery game ruining the entire weekend in 3 seconds flat makes me laugh every single time.
24:20 Rewatching that scene of Miles seeing “Andi” for the “first time in awhile” suddenly makes a lot more sense now.
girl you're like one of those characters who answer the right question, but for an entirely different reasoning 😭
The best part of the movie is that they didn’t really hide who killed Duke.. in the scene where he died (not the flashback) you can see miles hand him the drink
The thing they did hide was Helen and Cassandra’s death; so that was the real ‘mystery’.
It’s so fun to rewatch it because you can see everything that you missed; her throwing the recorder in birdies bag, the irony in miles rant about breaking things, etc
The irony about Miles' disruption speech is exquisite. The climax plays out exactly like that speech. From the small thing, to the slightly bigger thing where others will want to join you, to the part where you push past and everyone around isn't onboard as you break what they don't want broken.
Helen goes through every stage of that speech in the climax.
She becomes the "Disruptor" that Miles so admires and pretends to be.
@@dgmilloway it's so clever, and so obvious after re-watching three times lol
YOU AND ZZAVID POSTING IN ONE DAY - MADE MY SUNDAY! :3 SLAY REACT QUEENS :3
HELP SAME 💅✨
Hell yeah
literally same. i watched him video earlier and then basically came straight here
Is your caps lock broken? Calm down.
@@maggierappa417 HIGH FIVE :3
the "lesbians on twitter" comment had me cackling she's so right lsdkfjlsdf
This movie was SO ICONIC for me and I'm so glad you were loving it. I liked Benoit from the first movie but FELL HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE with him in this. Also Janelle as Helen, I have never rooted for someone so much.
There's so many clever things about this movie. From the way how each character wears their masks at the beginning shows their personality and how much they care for other people (and Birdie's covid party), the movie showing how rich people will accept that a random "oral medication" will somehow make them not catch covid and the only one who questions it is Blanc. Then the movie literally shows you Miles handing Duke the glass but then switches it after. Blanc saying he's horrible at stupid things and so he overthinks the stupid murder(s). Not to mention the last and most powerful scene, when Janelle Monae, covered in ash and soot, turns and looks at the camera posing as the Mona Lisa
Fun fact: there’s a Beatles song called glass onion, which was created out of the band’s frustration with people looking to deeply into every single lyric they write. The song is intentionally simple and meaningless, so it’s interesting that miles is playing a Beatles song as they arrive on the island
it's the song that plays over the credits in the movie
Loved this commentary Ash but gotta correct you on one thing, they did NOT come to their senses, they only went against Miles bc he isn't of use to them anymore
It was very telling that when Duke died, Claire was more worried about news of it releasing and getting negative press than him.
Thank you for this video! Loved your reaction.
Ashley's boutta make everything way more sus than it is with her theories and I cannot waitt
8:20 girlie they literally showed Beniot's partner in the beginning
Ashley out here being homophobic for the lols gotta love it 🤡
@@Saffa_316 absolutely not please lets not be problematic she was just unsure
@@SalehaAli ok girlie what's problematic is using a hand gesture that is so backdated and stereotypical and honestly disgusting to fetishize non-hetero people into a little box for the lols. And in other videos using the imposter sound bit from among us as a sign that she thinks someone is queer. And then call yourself an ally. Problematic beyond. And if you have anything else to say then maybe check yourself because I'm too disgusted to try convince you that fetishizing gay people with outdated jokes for the lols is absolutely unacceptable
3:27 the irony of Duke talking about the "breastification" of America and he lives with his mom and can't wash his own dirty draws lmao
Everyone: “Blanc is gay because he’s married to Hugh Grant!”
Ash- “Blanc is gay because he didn’t gag.”
I love the last shot of Helen sitting like the Mona Lisa. Just like they said about the painting, you it's hard to tell if she's happy or sad. I'm sure Helen is both happy and sad at the end
Once you see who lives with Blanc, that throat goat award suddenly makes perfect sense.
Loving your energy and the editing, you've got my sub.
6:52 fun fact, during the game awards last year, they briefly mentioned this show alongside among us, and I think the majority of us watching at the time were like, ".... why is James Bond talking about among us. 💀" Like, it didn't even register to me that they were explaining the show would have a reference to it, lol. So finally, seeing the reason for that collaboration is extra funny now. So while it's true that pop culture references ages a show, I feel like, in this instance, the reference is so obscure enough that it's funny.
20:20 I love that your mind immediately goes to sleeping pills. It’s what I thought each time I watched the movie too!
I can’t wait for her to react to the menu hopefully it’s such a good horror film that makes you think through the whole movie
Since apparently a lot of ppl haven’t seen movies like Harriet and Moonlight (although their screen time was pretty short) JANELLE FREAKING MONAE singer-actor fr, Kathryn,Madeline, and Kate ATE loved them all💜 especially Kates character humor
I don't really watch + enjoy watching reaction videos bc some/most are so mean and don't really*feel* the characters but you are the only one I can watch and enjoy bc you make it feel like I'm watching it with a friend and you *connect* with the character and try to understand them and just AHHH you are the best
my family and i tried to play a game where you had to lock in your guesses for the murderer after 20min but the movie totally messed it up 😂 no one was right
OH MY GOD YES QUEEN !! thank you so much for giving me serotonin all the time, you truly are a BLESSING !
Not sure if this was mentioned, but Derol was played by Noah Segan, who also played Trooper Wagner in Knives Out, and is a Rian Johnson regular. Another Rian Johnson regular is Joseph Gordin-Levitt, who did the hourly dong voice, and also had a small voice cameo as a tv detective in Knives Out. Also, the people in Blan'c game of Among Us consisted of legends in Angela Lansbury of Murder, She Wrote, Stephen Sondheim, along with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Natasha Lyonne.
Ash catching that Blanc was fruity from the jump was so funny
so funny that Hugh Grant’s cameo didn’t tell her that Blanc is gay but a shot did
omg , ash what the heck, i’ve literally been binging you’re videos all morning and the second i finish one THERE’S A NEW ONE?? how did you know?? such a queen ily
Such a homophobic queen we love to see it. Homophobic through fetishizing gay people into backdated stereotypes we LOVE TO SEE IT
@@Saffa_316 ummmmm okie dokie
I watched Knives Out 3 days before Glass Onion was released on Netflix. I enjoyed a lot both movies but i liked the precuel way more and mostly because of the bad guy. Evans plays really good villains !
"In real life I'd hate her, but as a movie character she's so much fun"
Such an accurate description of many characters
your title is RIGHT. those people are terrible 😭 so happy you posted today! xx
fun fact, the hourly dong was voiced by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, as director Rian has him cameo on all of his films
I remember Edward Norton talking about how he saw Hamilton live three times. Which is pretty much something only a rich person could do at that time. The irony isn't lost on me.
Lmao people were selling their souls for Hamilton and he was able to see it three times!? That’s wild. 😂
Ash’s timing is literally impeccable because I literally just finished the movie like 1hr ago and then I got a notification saying she posted this
Ok there needs to be a RUclips vid entitled: "Kate Hudson being her mother for 5 min straight". Goldie Hawn, her mom, is a legendary actress who was in a lot of comedy films and is known for her over exaggeration style and campy acting methods. Ms. Kate Hudson was serving hardcore. I was getting Overboard, Private Benjamin, and Protocol vibes.
27:45 took me OUT THE MUSIC
this is my favorite react channel omg the editing
One of the few reactors that noticed how micro aggressive that was!! Love Ash!
Their departure scene is meant to showcase their true self in a subtle way:
lionel wears the (assuming) the kf94, he's the scientist and he knows before it reconmmended.
claire's mask doesn't fit properly and contstanly touches it, she's a politician and cares for the surface image, not necessarily the best way.
Birdie's mask is mesh and she's a fashion designer and is shown to be intolerant, she doesn't care as long she's not affected.
Duke is not wearing a mask, he's (seems to be) a right-wing youtuber, probably doesn't care.
Detective Benoit's mask seems to be cordinated with his outfit and fits well, he has a eye for details.
Helen's mask is Andi
Another detail is the Andi, who spoke out against the danger of klear, was not believed and punished and Helen, her twin is the one who destroys Miles could be a parellel to Cassandra of Troy, a seer who is cursed that no one will believe her gift and her twin, Helenus who tin some accounts voluntarily told the way to destroy troy.
I love that you guessed Benoit's sexuality before his husband was revealed
And I love that you did it by making a disgusting backdated joke showing how you fetishize non-hetero people and then call yourself an ally while turning their entire struggle into a crass joke for the lols what an absolute queen we love to see it 🤡🤮
@@Saffa_316 As a pan bigender person I can confirm, it is not fetishizing at all. Those are kinds of jokes that are very common in queer and ally circles. It's not meant with any malice, or fetishization, at least from what I can see. The wrist movement is way more common now as a dogwhistle than just a stereotype. And the blowjob joke was just because she had already made the joke before with the other people, and was just surprised to see where it led, not knowing that Benoit would be the only one not reacting.
I see your point and I appreciate it, but I don't think it applies in this case.
Cant believe agatha fulfilled drax's dream only to kill him instantly
I had such a fun time watching Glass Onion, it really threw me for a loop! Also I need Kathryn Hahn to just be in everything from now until the end of time.
THANK YOU ASH. Benoit DOES look like a life sized ken doll.
Dukes mom is a genius when it comes to puzzles and I love it. Also when was among us cringy, I thought people still played it or at least the people I watch do.
people dissing on among us haven’t discovered the world of modded. feels like i’ll never get tired of learning new roles and watching people kill each other in space
I've watched like a dozen of these and you're the first person I've seen get squicked out by the "YOU THINK YOU POPPED ME LIKE A GANGSTER?" Thank you, I caught that too, like
THE NECKLACE TWITTER JOKE PLEASE you’re so rightt
Explaining Among Us to Daniel Craig must have at least been easier than explaining it to Angela Lansbury, who listened for a while and finally told Rian Johnson to just tell her her lines because she didn't get it LOL. Also the fact that Stephen Sondheim and Angela Lansbury's last roles were of them playing Among Us is sending me
I love how you’re not trying so hard to solve the mystery or predict the story, you’re just in for the ride and enjoying it.
Your reaction to Benoit not gagging on the oral medication was priceless.
AHH, Miss Ashley you’re SOOO close to 1 mil I’m so excited for your new fans to join the fandom🎉. I remember when you only had a few thousand subs. I’m so proud of you❤.
The way I was rewatching the other knives out video earlier? Strange fr. Also I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THANK GOD YOU POSTED BEEN MISSING YOU 🤭
Ashley?!? Why r we literally bffs now??
i’m very excited to see all one million of ashley’s theories
Ashley girl your reactions give me life 😭💕
Until you make disgusting homophobic jokes like it's casual and then they suck the fucking life right back out
One of my favourite parts of the Knives Out movies is that they show you the 'real' scenario pretty early in. In Knives Out, we saw what happened with Marta and Harlan in the first third, and here, you learn about Helen around when we hit the halfway mark (ish). Then from there, you're trying to figure out what REALLY happened! It's super genius, lets you feel like you're 'in on it' while still having a guessing game! I could watch a Knives Out movie and Benoit Blanc for as long as Rian Johnson makes them, they are so fun
Helen: Guess what wasn't there ?
Ash: Sleeping pills
Ben: The red envelope
Ash: That too :)
that cracked me up looool
MAKING MY DAY- I’m so happy to see your face today omg i needed this 😭❤️
28:40 did you all notice Helen did the Mona Lisa pose at the end ?
Its the fact that she made a joke about blanc being gay when he literally had a husband
THANK YOU ASH!!! THIS CONTENT WAS DEEPLY NEEDED
i remember watching glass onion for the first time and thinking there was no way they could top knives out and being so utterly ashamed i was wrong. im a SUCKER for classic murder mysteries and the writers on this were PERFECT
loved your outfit today ash!
OMG ASHLEY LIKED MY COMMENT
Interesting how the glass sculpture Peg smashes looks like the knife sculpture from the first film.
If you like Daniel Craig in this, you should watch Logan Lucky! It’s like Oceans 11 but with hicks and Daniel Craig plays one of said hicks. Also has Channing Tatum and Adam Driver. So good.
