Over the festive period it seems many of us made time to watch Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix.
The sequel to the much-loved Knives Out film, Benoit Blanc (played brilliantly by Daniel Craig) returned once more to solve another mystery.
Fans have adored the films, and have been suggesting possible spin-off versions for the series.
One fan suggested a Muppets version could work, with Craig's Blanc as the only human character.
Director Rian Johnson responded, saying it was "a pretty good idea."
"It's a joke that I thought was pretty brilliant, and I ended up really giving [it] some serious thought," Johnson said.
"As much as I take the murder mystery genre seriously, I take the genre of a Muppet movie seriously... I think those two things have very different rules.
"You can either have a Benoit Blanc mystery that has Muppets in it, but they'll feel out of place. Or you can have a Muppet movie that Benoit Blanc is in, but it'll feel like a Muppet movie."
"I wouldn't want to compromise either of them," Johnson explained.
"And I feel like in order to make it well and make it work, you'd have to make a choice and compromise one or the other. If I ever make a Muppet movie, I just want to make a great Muppet movie."
Later, writer Kelly Knox suggested a Knives Out holiday special, and Johnson was enthusiastic to say the least, replying "OH S***". Quite.
We would love a Muppet Knives Out Holiday Special, personally.
