Co-star Jesse Plemons also addressed Elliott’s rant during the premiere of his new thriller “Windfall” Friday night in West Hollywood.Like Cumberbatch, Plemons also hasn’t listened to the podcast, but explained that he was aware of what Elliott said. “I know there’s some undertones to what he said, but I also feel like you don’t have to like the movie and that’s totally fine.
