We reviewed Knives Out with Jon Gabrus! There’s Oscar speculation up top, a non-spoiler section that answers how Gabrus would play a red herring, if we really want a CLUE remake, & who’s the scene stealer of the film.

You know him from the High and Mighty podcast, you’ll see him in the upcoming Oscar contender, Bombshell, and we’ve been fans of his comedy, whether it’s on the airwaves, TV, or the big screen for years, & we can’t help but rip off a bunch of our favorites atop the show and during the outro. To cite 2 more of his latest projects though, Gabrus now has 6 episodes of The Gino Lombardo Show on Stitcher Premium, and make sure you subscribe to The Action Boyz Podcast, where he reviews action movies with Ben Rodgers & Ryan Stanger. So we were very lucky to have Jon Gabrus on MMO with us, and we went through all of the usual segments for an Oscars Sprint Profile movie review with him. There’s a non-spoiler section first followed by spoilers. But the draw to this episode is all the extra questions we got to ask Gabrus. What kind of character would he like to play in a whodunnit, & how would he prepare? How does Michael Shannon dress in real life? Do we really want a remake of CLUE? How much CGI is too much CGI? Who’s the scene stealer of the film? How should you watch this movie? And of course, that spoiler section focuses on how fooled we all were by Rian Johnson.
