To me the funniest thing in Glass Onion (a truly excellent movie filled with many funny things) is Benoit Blanc himself: Celebrity Detective.
Because.
This is not a profession that exists!
We think it does because it exists in media, but please name an actual famous crime solver, known the world, who isn't employed by law enforcement or journalism?

Did you love that part of Glass Onion where Benoit Blanc, detective, took a depression bath while his stressed baker husband tried to call him out for having a breakdown from the next room? Because if so we’ve got a bizarre coincidence of a scene in 1x08 for you!

A completely unranked and entirely uncategorized list of non-audio drama things I loved and made me a better audio drama writer/creator in 2022:
Andor
Have faith in your audience, and remember that it doesn’t matter how fleshed out you think your world is — there’s something there no one has ever seen.
Everything Everywhere All At Once
There’s no limit to the disbelief people are willing to suspend if you can marry real emotion with outrageous circumstance.
Nope
If you can make an audience question a character’s reckless and goofy-ass decisions just before realizing they would do the same thing, they’ll leave changed.
Glass Onion
Rian Johnson has figured out how to thoroughly eviscerate greed and demagoguery with silliness and he’s my hero because of that.
The Legend of Vox Machina
Magic happens, real magic, when a group of people trust each other enough to be vulnerable with the stories in their souls.
God of War: Ragnarok
Making characters think they have no agency in their own lives is an *excellent* way to showcase their intellect and resilience.
Avatar: The Way of Water
Even with a simple core story, you can provide a rich, rich experience through layers of theme injected into setting.
Horizon II: Forbidden West
I would take a course on the way Ashly Burch gave each of her characters — WHO ARE FUCKING CLONES — the slightest tweaks in tone to differentiate character. A must for audio drama creators.
Werewolf By Night
Every story has a rhythm, and every medium can express that rhythm in a unique way. More composers should direct.
Saga: Volume 10
Grief is sneaky, and characters need time to process it properly. Sometimes the strongest way to communicate emotional distress is to make the character think they’re over it… until they aren’t.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
The classic struggle is between solving problems with intellect or violence, but Captain Pike teaches us that the first step is always empathy.
Rings of Power
The most touching conflict is sometimes simply “I’m mad at you because I missed you so much.”
Honorable mentions:
Last Night in Soho, Bardo: False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths, Ms. Marvel, Ghostwire Tokyo

My first time watching Glass Onion it was obvious that Miles' speeches were bullshit, but I still searched for any hidden meaning there might be.
The second time is a different experience though because every time my brain starts to search for meaning, I feel like Benoit Blanc discovering that no, there is absolutely no hidden meaning.
It's bullshit it's all nothing nothing nothing! It is just how you end up talking when everyone reacts to your self-aggrandizing word vomit like it is actually wisdom.
Also, legit, when Miles gave his stupid bullshit speech about what the word 'disruptor' means to him, I shit you not I was like holy shit am I back in business school right now?!
Miles must have given speeches like that at 100 business school graduations, goddamn.
Like, the motherfuckers really do sound like this. We didn't have any billionaires come, but we had a lot of millionaire guest speakers in my classes, and they fucking talk like that.
They all think they're rugged capitalists, but they're just glass onions!
#original#glass onion#it's just. business school prepared me really well to succeed in the business world as a straight white neurotypical#able-bodied cis man with a large network of very wealthy friends and family#I really would have killed it if I wasn't a queer autistic cripple!#even the best teachers seemed incredibly unaware of the enormous privilege that they were assuming in their students when they taught#but they basically presupposed you had infinite energy and savings and a disturbingly large number of my classes were just#lectures about pushing as hard as you can no matter what#they used Starbucks as an example of an admirable case of somebody who persisted in going to 150 investor pitches before being approved#and like. how many people do you know who have enough savings to schedule plan and attend 150 investor pitches?#how many people do you know who could set up even 12 through their connections?#where are those savings coming from? where are those investor pitch meetings coming from? those aren't easy to get!!#but none of this was ever mentioned it was just awesome that the guy kept trying I guess.#I have a sneaking suspicion that if I were to have dug deeper into some of the examples we were given that a lot of those#real life businesses probably started with a big big loan from somebody's parents#I was listening to the show you're wrong about which is a really good podcast and Michael Hobbs was like#anytime you see an article glorifying someone's financial success especially at a young age you should control F for 'parents'#because chances are you will probably see the word 'parents' somewhere next to the words 'million dollar loan'#anyway college is a scam. the community aspect was incredibly cool but I don't see why we as a culture need to only be able to access that#kind of community when we are paying a scam Institution a shitload of money for Educations that aren't helpful for the majority of us#if College was free then people could actually study things that are useful or fun for them#I took most of my courses just to fill out my major too. the point wasn't to learn it was to graduate.#and then it turned out that if you're disabled in the way i am it doesn't matter if you have a college degree!#but I'm sure miles would say I just need to pull myself up by my bootstraps. and that's why I'm glad his life got exploded 😌#andi kept him around for his money - why else would he be there when no one even liked him??#he was the bankroll#one time I swear to god we just had the guy from American Psycho just a real ass Patrick Bateman#it was wild watching that movie later and being like ???? I know this guy!#outside of the actual murder scenes everything in that movie is not exaggerated in the slightest those bitches really are like that#like my parents are not 1% level rich so there'd be no giant loans but they are rich. it'd be stupid to act like i didn't benefit from that

i just don’t think i’ll ever ever get over maroon it’s like and I chose you, the one i was dancing with in new york, no shoes, and how the hell did we lose sight of us again? and i feel you, no matter what and i wake with your memory over me, that's a real fucking legacy to leave and i carry it all around with me like it’s tucked in a locket over my heart and it makes me want to scream

I know in my heart that Miles Beaumont would absolutely get his old pals together by sending out a deeply mysterious package where you have to decode games to unlock it and I fully believe he would build a giant mansion to look like a Glass Onion
and I know in my soul he would take the disinfectant shot as easily as Benoit took it
