I disliked Rian Johnson since I finished watching The Last Jedi. I won't go too far into why that was (some of his ideas could have worked better if he committed to them instead of yoinking them back by the end credits), but suffice it to say that because of the 7-8-9 back and forth whiplash and the "Your Snoke Theory Sucks" Twitter snark toward the audience (yes a lot of Star Wars fans are terrible, but come on), I only saw Glass Onion because my wife really, really insisted I gave it a try.

I concede that Rian Johnson writes excellent contemporary mysteries and I enjoyed the entire run of the movie and look forward to also seeing Knives Out now. I was truly pleasantly surprised. It doesn't hurt that Daniel Craig gave a weird but impressive delivery and really sold the character he played.

    The Yakuza series. Never thought I'd be a fan of an Japanese action/brawler game but it was the start of the COVID pandemic and I figured I needed something to kill time with so I said fuck it and went with it. Still one of my favorite game series to this day

      I'm kind of in the same boat. I have a friend who is obsessed with them. I always thought they looked kind of gimmicky but he explained to me that that's part of the charm. Did you start at the beginning of the series?

        I started with Yakuza Kiwami because I thought that starting with the prequel was silly, but other than that I went sequentially afterwords
