Spoiler alert - we really like Clue! Based on the board game of the same-ish name and directed by Jonathan Lynn, 1985's Clue is a murder-mystery-comedy that gathers six blackmail victims in an isolated mansion in a race against time against a secret killer. With a plot that fully acknowledges its Cluedo roots, Clue is one of those movies that's always ripe for a rewatch. We discuss the ways the film has aged, the joy of watching Christopher Llyod and Tim Curry in the same scene, and the ways the movie has influenced modern mystery-comedies like Knives Out and Glass Onion.

Talking apes and Jedi Knights are cool, but how do they impact Hollywood as a whole? That's the kind of stuff we talk about on Popcorn Culture - a mixed-bag-exploration of the movies, TV shows, and pop culture buzz that we love, as well as the ones we love (slightly) less.
