Today on the show, Paul and Ben talk about OS updates, the latest tragic celebrity news, Quentin Tarantino bad-mouthing Paul Dano, Andrew Scott, the book It's a Wonderful Life is based on, late nights on the Red Line, and finally Christmas gifts.
Josh is joined by Richard Linklater Correspondent Josh Brown for a double feature of the writer/director's 2025 releases. First, they talk about "Nouvelle Vague" (Beginning-36:11) and how it captured early 1960s Paris, its depiction of various stalwarts of the French New Wave including Jean-Luc Godard, if it was insightful enough as to the behind-the-scenes making of "Breathless" to make the entire enterprise worth it and much more! Then, they discuss "Blue Moon" and how it did in capturing the complicated feelings lyricist Lorenz Hart was feeling on the night his old partner Richard Rogers's musical "Oklahoma!" premiered, whether the film was successful in convincing the audience that Ethan Hawke was actually diminutive and bald in having him portray Hart, the supporting performances from the likes of Andrew Scott, Bobby Cannavale and Margaret Qualley and much more!
On this week's show Andrew and Ted discuss what they thought of the third installment of the Knives Out franchise, "Wake Up Dead Man". Daniel Craig is back as that southern private detective Benoit Blanc, hired by the local police chief (Mila Kunis), to solve what they feel is the unsolvable murder of Monsenyor Jefferson (Josh Brolin) the local priest. With suspects ranging from characters played by Thomas Haden Church, Andrew Scott, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Daryl McComack, Cailee Spaeny, Kerry Washington, and Jeremy Renner it's a classic who-done-it! Tune into find out how Andrew and Ted stack this case up against the previous Benoit Blanc mysteries!

"Wake Up Dead Man: Un misterio de Knives Out" (2025), la tercera entrega de la aclamada saga dirigida por Rian Johnson y disponible en Netflix, trae de vuelta al excéntrico detective Benoit Blanc, interpretado una vez más por Daniel Craig, en su caso más peligroso y oscuro hasta la fecha.

This week, we review the third film in the whodunnit series of Benoit Blanc mysteries: Wake Up Dead Man. After Knives Out and Glass Onion, director Rian Johnson returns to the reins of his favorite genre. We discuss the franchise's increasingly charismatic roster of secondary protagonists, the year of Josh O'Connor, and whether or not Johnson's penchant for heavy-handed topicality once again derails a Benoit Blanc tale.
We are back with another fantastic episode of Films in Black and White. This time we are spending some time solving mysteries in upstate New York, with Rian Johnson's "Wake Up Dead Man."But first, we take some time to remember Rob Reiner, and his legacy on films.

Benoit Blanc is on the case again as he's called to solve a murder at a church in a seemingly-quaint New England hamlet. Josh O'Connor is the local priest, and there are a host of suspects to choose from. Aaron joins us to discuss Wake Up Dead Man.
Min 5: NUREMBERG (3 estrellas) 'Nuremberg ', dirigida por James Vanderbilt y protagonizada por Rami Malek en la piel del psiquiatra militar Douglas Kelley y Russell Crowe como un inquietante Hermann Göring, plantea un thriller histórico que convierte los juicios más determinantes del siglo XX en un duelo psicológico sostenido más que en un simple repaso académico. Basada en el libro 'El nazi y el psiquiatra', la película se concentra en las entrevistas carcelarias donde Kelley intenta evaluar la salud mental de los acusados mientras descubre que el mal que encarnan no reside en la locura, sino en una mezcla de cálculo, narcisismo y capacidad para manipular. Min 11: PUÑALES POR LA ESPALDA: DE ENTRE LOS MUERTOS (4 estrellas) 'Puñales por la espalda: De entre los muertos', dirigida por Rian Johnson y protagonizada por Daniel Craig como el incombustible Benoit Blanc junto a Josh O'Connor, Cailee Spaeny y Kerry Washington, recupera el espíritu juguetón del whodunit contemporáneo y lo desplaza hacia un terreno más oscuro sin perder la ironía marca de la casa. Johnson arma un misterio que se abre en capas, con una muerte que parece más teatral que real, un elenco de sospechosos que van revelando el tipo de grietas morales que sostienen a los millonarios modernos y un detective que, entre bromas, sigue desentrañando la estupidez humana con la lucidez que lo hizo célebre en las dos entregas anteriores. Min 16: COARTADAS (2,5 estrellas) 'Coartadas', dirigida por Martín Cuervo y protagonizada por Jaime Lorente, Adriana Torrebejano y Leo Harlem, convierte la idea de una empresa especializada en fabricar excusas perfectas en el punto de partida de una comedia de enredo que funciona como retrato ligero, pero reconocible, de la cultura de la mentira cómoda. Cuervo, que se apoya en el modelo de la francesa 'Alibi.com', estira la premisa hasta el límite cuando el dueño de la agencia se enamora de una mujer que detesta a los mentirosos y descubre, demasiado tarde, que el padre de ella es uno de sus clientes más fieles. Min 18: SINGULAR (2,5 estrellas) 'Singular', dirigida por Alberto Gastesi y protagonizada por Patricia López Arnaiz y Javier Rey —con la aparición de Miguel Iriarte como elemento detonante— traza un thriller psicológico con matices de ciencia ficción y drama familiar, en el que la frontera entre la pérdida, la culpa y la esperanza se vuelve difusa. Gastesi plantea una reunión traumática: doce años tras la muerte de su hijo, Diana —especialista en inteligencia artificial— y Martín se ven obligados a volver a su vieja casa junto al lago, un escenario que debería servir para cerrar heridas y acaba convirtiéndose en un territorio de fantasmas emocionales cuando un joven con un inquietante parecido al hijo muerto irrumpe en sus vidas. Min 20: ZOOTRÓPOLIS 2 (3,5 estrellas) 'Zootrópolis 2', dirigida por Byron Howard y Jared Bush y protagonizada en su versión original por Ginnifer Goodwin y Jason Bateman como la agente Judy Hopps y el astuto Nick Wilde, retoma la energía de la primera entrega con un enfoque más ambicioso que mezcla sátira social, buddy movie y un toque de thriller urbano. La secuela desplaza a sus dos protagonistas hacia un caso que desborda lo policial y pone a prueba la frágil convivencia entre especies, un terreno donde la película brilla al combinar humor físico, guiños pop y una lectura adulta sobre el miedo, la desinformación y los prejuicios contemporáneos. Min 24: LA VOZ DE HIND (4,5 estrellas) 'La voz de Hind', dirigida por Kaouther Ben Hania y protagonizada por Saja Kilani junto a Motaz Malhees y Clara Khoury, reconstruye —con una crudeza conmovedora— el último grito de auxilio de una niña de seis años atrapada en Gaza tras un ataque aéreo, utilizando la voz real de la víctima para prolongar su súplica en el tiempo y colocar al espectador ante la evidencia de un horror que muchos prefieren ignorar. Alberto Luchini se deshace en elogios ante la que considera una de esas películas que trascenderá en el tiempo y que considera imprescindible. MIn 28: "BLUE MOON" (3 estrellas) 'Blue Moon', dirigida por Richard Linklater y protagonizada por Ethan Hawke como el letrista atormentado Lorenz Hart, junto a Margaret Qualley, Andrew Scott y Bobby Cannavale, pone sobre la mesa la angustia de un artista que ve su ocaso profesional y emocional justo cuando el mundo celebra a su antiguo colaborador. La película transcurre en una única noche —la del estreno de 'Oklahoma!' en 1943— y convierte un bar de Broadway en un tribunal de musas, ego y desencanto. Min 32: "SOLO PIENSO EN TI". DOCUMENTAL. 3,5 estrellas Auspiciada por CMM y el gobierno de Castilla-La Mancha, 'Solo pienso en ti', dirigida por Hugo de la Riva y centrada en la historia real de María José y Emilio, dos jóvenes con discapacidad intelectual que en los años setenta desafiaron prejuicios familiares, médicos y legales para vivir juntos y formar un proyecto de vida, propone un documental que combina rigor histórico, emoción contenida y una mirada profundamente humana sobre la dignidad y el derecho a amar. El director manchego nos deja un mensaje muy especial para animar el visionado del largometraje. Min 35: "FLORES PARA ANTONIO". (3 estrellas) 'Flores para Antonio', dirigida por Isaki Lacuesta y articulada en torno a la figura del cantante Antonio Flores, reconstruye la trayectoria breve, intensa y frágil de un artista que convirtió su dolor en una voz propia y terminó devorado por la presión familiar, la exigencia pública y sus propios fantasmas. Lacuesta esquiva el biopic convencional y opta por un documental que mezcla material doméstico nunca visto, grabaciones de estudio, diarios, entrevistas actuales con familiares y músicos cercanos, y una puesta en escena que ilumina tanto la energía creativa de Antonio como la sombra emocional que lo acompañó desde joven. Min 40: LA PELÍCULA DE TU VIDA, CON JULIÁN LOMINCHAR En la entrega de hoy nuestro invitado es Julián Lominchar, dibujante y animador toledano que ha vivido un año decisivo tras formar parte del equipo de Robot Dreams y ser admitido (esta misma semana) en la Academia de Cine. Un reconocimiento que confirma su proyección dentro de la animación española. Lominchar habla con la mirada limpia de quien se ha criado entre lápices, papel y sueños posibles, y por eso no sorprende que su elección para La película de tu vida sea el 'Pinocho' de 1940. Min 42: BSO: "DRÁCULA", de Danny Elfman (4 estrellas) La banda sonora de 'Drácula', compuesta por Danny Elfman, es un ejercicio de poderío musical en el que el autor recupera su faceta más gótica y sinfónica para construir un paisaje sonoro que respira deseo, amenaza y tragedia a partes iguales. Elfman articula el score como una sucesión de impulsos emocionales: cuerdas que se retuercen como si fuesen un hilo de sangre, metales que irrumpen con una gravedad casi litúrgica y coros que oscilan entre lo sagrado y lo profano, recordando por momentos la sensualidad oscura de 'Sleepy Hollow' y la teatralidad operística de su etapa más expresionista.
Travis Hopson reviews Rian Johnson's WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY starring Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Jeremy Renner, Glenn Close, Cailee Spaeny, Mila Kunis, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.SYNOPSIS: Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) returns for his most dangerous case yet in the third and darkest chapter of Rian Johnson's murder mystery opus. When young priest Jud Duplenticy (Josh O'Connor) is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks (Josh Brolin), it's clear that all is not well in the pews. Wicks's modest-but-devoted flock includes devout church lady Martha Delacroix (Glenn Close), circumspect groundskeeper Samson Holt (Thomas Haden Church), tightly-wound lawyer Vera Draven, Esq. (Kerry Washington), aspiring politician Cy Draven (Daryl McCormack), town doctor Nat Sharp (Jeremy Renner), best-selling author Lee Ross (Andrew Scott), and concert cellist Simone Vivane (Cailee Spaeny). After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott (Mila Kunis) to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.WAKE UP DEAD MAN is in select theaters now, Netflix on December 12th.All of this and more can be found at www.punchdrunkcritics.com!Subscribe to Punch Drunk Critics on YouTube: / @punchdrunkcritics1 Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Twitter: / pdcmovies Follow Punch Drunk Critics on Facebook: / pdcmovies You can also subscribe to our podcast Cinema Royale anywhere you get your podcasts!#WakeUpDeadMan #KnivesOut #rianjohnson
Rian Johnson & Daniel Craig have returned to deliver us their third Knives Out Mystery. Wake Up Dead Man has now dropped in select theaters worldwide, and will drop on Netflix on December 12. I'm very lucky to be ten minutes away from a local cinema that plays all of Netflix's releases before they drop on the platform, so you bet I rushed out to see the new whodunnit on the first day of release. The first Knives Out is easily my favorite murder-mystery of all-time, and Glass Onion was definitely a really solid follow-up even if it was a little uneven. More importantly though, I think Benoit Blanc, played by Daniel Craig, has to be on the Mount Rushmore of most iconic new movie characters of the past decade; in fact, I think Craig is so good in the role that Blanc is now dangerously close to overtaking Bond as his most iconic character. I know, I know... sue me. Rian Johnson is also one of my favorite filmmakers and he never misses! So, is Wake Up Dead Man the most engrossing mystery the team have delivered yet? Find out in this review!Wake Up Dead Man:Written and Directed by: Rian JohnsonProduced by: Ram Bergman, Rian JohnsonExecutive Producer: Tom KarnowskiMusic by: Nathan JohnsonDirector of Photography: Steve YedlinEdited by: Bob DucsayCasting by: Bret Howe, Mary VernieuProduction Design by: Rick HeinrichsCostume Design by: Jenny EaganCast: Daniel Craig, Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, Thomas Haden ChurchSynopsis: When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it's clear that all is not well in the pews.

Click here to send us a message!This week we're discussing two of cinema's most celebrated queer filmmakers, Luca Guadagnino and Andrew Haigh. Within the last few years, they've each given us deeply personal stories about love, loneliness, grief and the disconnect of growing up queer in a straight world. Through different eras and wildly different tones, each film grapples with queer life in stunning and heart wrenching detail. Chris is back as we discuss the two newest editions to the Queer Film Canon.
We review Blue Moon, the new, Oscar bait (?) film centering around Lorenz Hart, set during the opening night of Oklahoma!

Everyone knows Rodgers and Hammerstein and the legacy that comes with their collaborations, but many forget the brilliance and heartbreak of Rodgers and Hart. The applause roars for one man while another slips quietly into the shadows. Fame and failure share the same stage tonight, divided only by a curtain call. That's the haunting pulse of “Blue Moon,” a story of creative partners colliding at the peak of one's success and the edge of the other's undoing. Over one fateful Broadway night, a composer stands in the light of his newest triumph while his lyricist drowns in the darkness just beyond the spotlight. It's a breakup told in music, memory, and smoke.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo pairs conversations with Ethan Hawke & Richard Linklater and Andrew Scott, weaving their perspectives together on collaboration, rehearsal, and the human math of loving someone you can't fix.READ MORE: ‘Blue Moon' Review: Another Precious Pearl In Richard Linklater's Chronicles Of The Human Condition [Berlin]Nine collaborations deep, Hawke and Linklater's shorthand remains less code than continuum. Hawke said, "The changes are pretty invisible to me. It feels like one long collaboration, one long conversation." Linklater added, "I met Ethan in 1992. We went out later that night, we were at a bar, and we talked all night. We're still talking. That's what it feels like." Scott, reflecting on their dynamic, noted that the film itself “is about two people who've been through so much together that their chemistry almost becomes a language.”
Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 21ú lá de mí Dheireadh Fómhair, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1977 tháinig sé amach gur chaill nach mór 400 duine a bpost a raibh ag obair I Roches Stores I mBaile Átha Cliath agus dúradh go mbeadh an siopa chun dúnadh de bharr stailc de 100 duine eile a bhí ag obair ann. I 1988 bhí laethanta saoire do na meánscoil chun a bheith laghdaithe agus bhí siad chun féachaint orthu I comhráite idir an rialtas agus na múinteoirí. I 1977 tháinig sé amach go raibh na daoine a raibh ina chónaí in áit in Inis chun gearradh siar ar an chíos de bharr go raibh taistealaí ina chónaí ann. I 1994 bhí mol ann chun cosaint a chur ar na bpost a raibh faoi bhaol ag an stáisiúin Moneypoint de bharr go raibh plean réasúnachas ag an ESB. Sin David Soul le Silver Lady – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1977. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1992 thóg George Michael, Sony Records chuig na cúirte de bharr an conradh a bhí aige leis an chomhlacht. Chaill sé an cás I 1994. D'oibrigh sé le Sony arís 10 mbliain tar éis. I 2006 chuaigh Evanescence chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena dara halbam The Open Door. Bhí an t-albam sin an 700ú halbam ar na cairteacha óna thosaigh na cairteacha I 1956. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Kim Kardashian I Meiriceá I 1980 agus rugadh aisteoir Andrew Scott in Éirinn ar an lá seo I 1976 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 21st of October, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1977: Nearly 400 employees of Roches Stores in Henry street Dublin were laid off last night and the store will be closed due to continuing unofficial strike of about 100 other workers there. 1988: Post primary school holidays are facing holiday cuts as as they are expected to be reviewed in forthcoming negotiations between the government, teacher unions and managers. 1977: A group of Ennis residents have threatened a rents strike if the Urban council doesn't rid their area of travelers. 1994: New moves to safeguard jobs under threat at the Money Point generating station because of the ESB's proposed rationalism plans were launched. That was David Soul with Silver Lady – the biggest song on this day in 1977 Onto music news on this day In 1992 George Michael took Sony Records to court in a fight over his contract with the company; he lost the case in 1994. Michael worked with Sony again less than 10 years later. 2006 Evanescence were at No.1 on the US album chart with their second album 'The Open Door.' It became the 700th No.1 album in Billboard since the chart became a weekly feature in 1956. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Kim Kardashian was born in America in 1980 and actor Andrew Scott was born in Ireland on this day in 1976 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
On the Saturday October 18, 2025 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet Billy Corben. He is a documentary filmmaker from Miami, whose documentaries have covered everything from religious hypocrisy, baseball doping, drug running and other controversial topics.

C'est l'un des plus grands écrivains d'Irlande, Oscar Wilde est mis à l'honneur dans son pays, à l'occasion des 125 ans de sa mort. Plus d'un siècle après sa disparition, le festival Oscariana célèbre le dandy sulfureux dans sa ville natale, Dublin, où son héritage continue de vibrer. De notre correspondante à Dublin, « Voici sa statue parlante'', qui donne vie à Oscar Wilde, grâce à la voix de l'acteur irlandais Andrew Scott, dans un style très flamboyant, typique de l'écrivain ! » Mary Phelan, guide touristique, se trouve devant la statue d'Oscar Wilde. À son image : Wilde est allongé avec sa légendaire nonchalance, sourire en coin. Gravées tout autour, quelques-unes de ses citations les plus célèbres : « Nous sommes tous dans le caniveau, mais certains d'entre nous regardent les étoiles… » « Je peux résister à tout, sauf à la tentation ! » « Ce suspense est terrible. J'espère qu'il va durer… » Juste en face, nous retrouvons Martin Burns, qui est à l'origine du festival Oscariana : « Bienvenue à la maison d'Oscar Wilde ! » C'est ici qu'a grandi l'écrivain. « Il a compris ce qu'était le culte de la célébrité avant tout le monde ! Le mouvement esthétique était tourné en ridicule dans les journaux, mais Oscar a commencé à s'habiller comme les caricatures qui se moquaient de lui. Alors que d'autres artistes fuyaient cela parce qu'ils étaient raillés, Oscar a compris qu'il vaut mieux qu'on parle de vous, même en mal, que pas du tout ! » Érigé en martyr Et son chef-d'œuvre, « Le portrait de Dorian Gray », suscita l'indignation dès sa parution. Le roman raconte l'histoire d'un homme, qui reste éternellement jeune, tandis que son portrait se défigure. Jarlath Killeen, directeur du département d'anglais à l'université Trinity, explique : « Le tableau commence à vieillir à sa place, tandis qu'il conserve sa beauté extraordinaire pendant des années, et à cause de cela, il pense pouvoir faire tout ce qu'il veut ! Il peut céder à toutes ses passions et à toutes les tentations. Cela déclenche de violentes campagnes de lettres de protestation, dans lesquelles on accuse Oscar Wilde de dépravation et d'immoralité. » Peu de temps après, Oscar Wilde est condamné à deux ans de prison pour « indécence grossière ». « Essentiellement, la prison l'a tué. Elle a brisé sa carrière, et il est décédé trois ans après sa libération. Longtemps après sa mort, le nom d'Oscar Wilde resta imprononçable, synonyme de scandale. Mais peu à peu, Wilde devint une figure utile au mouvement des premiers droits homosexuels. Comme il avait été emprisonné pour sa vie sexuelle, il fut érigé en martyr. » Derrière les barreaux, Oscar Wilde écrivit une lettre à l'homme de sa vie, À l'occasion du festival, ses mots résonnent à nouveau interprétés avec force par des artistes LGBTQ+.

Welcome to the daily 63rd New York Film Festival podcast. Today we're featuring two conversations with Richard Linklater and the teams of his two NYFF selections. First, NYFF Artistic Director Dennis Lim moderates a conversation with Linklater and Blue Moon's screenwriter Robert Kaplow, as well asd its stars Ethan Hawke, Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Scott, followed by a conversation with Linklater and Nouvelle Vague's Zoey Deutch, Guillaume Marbeck, Aubry Dullin, and Michèle Pétin, moderated by NYFF programmer Florence Almozini. Blue Moon is a portrait of one crucial night in the melancholy life of legendary lyricist Lorenz Hart (played by Ethan Hawke, in a tour de force performance). The film is a surprising yet entirely fitting addition to the Richard Linklater canon. And the spirit of cinematic revolution is alive and well in Linklater's affectionate and wildly entertaining passion project, Nouvelle Vague, which transports the viewer back to a creative landmark: the 1959 making of Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard. Nouvelle Vague opens at Film at Lincoln Center on October 31st, with the first week of screenings presented on 35mm. Tickets are on sale now. The 63rd New York Film Festival is presented in partnership with Rolex. Get tickets at filmlinc.org.
