154 - Pt. 1 - Knives Out (CC)

What happens when a filmmaker on the rise makes a divisive franchise movie? Well, if the filmmaker is Rian Johnson and the franchise is Star Wars, the poor guy then gets bullied into making a bland crowdpleaser like KNIVES OUT to restore his reputation. And it worked!
