Podcast appearances and mentions of Daniel Craig

Father Dave welcomes Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Rian Johnson to discuss his latest movie "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," whose fictional story takes place in a Catholic parish. Rian's directing credits include "Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi," "Looper," "Poker Face," episodes of "Breaking Bad," and many more. The latest film in the "Knives Out" murder mystery series, "Wake Up Dead Man," stars Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc who teams up with a priest (Josh O'Connor) to investigate a crime at the small-town church.

Get ready for a hologram to stumble into your apartment because we are talking about some long lost love today! What better way to usher in the month of love than with a story about a bunch of people who aren't together anymore? My title of course references Sienna Miller & Jude Law, who dated twice -- 2003-2006 and 2009-2011. I would say they are most remembered for Jude's public apology that came in July 2005 after he cheated with his children's nanny. I was going to just cover the Jude and Sienna of it all because they're certainly enough drama for one episode but then I had to bring in Sadie Frost, the woman who Jude was married to before he met Sienna -- their story is just as concerning, if not moreso, and then of course we all remember when Sienna had a very public affair with Balthazar Getty! Who could forget? Daniel Craig and Sean Penn are in there too... and Orlando Bloom? Girl, it's a lot. This episode includes some very serious topics such as severe mental health issues, abortion, and cheating of course... oh, so much cheating. A lot to learn from these very flawed people but hey, who am I to judge?*Everything in this podcast is alleged, for entertainment purposes only. *MERCH: https://ultimate-fangirl-apparel.printify.me/PATREON Subscribers heard this episode completely ad-free!

If you're wondering what NOT to do when adapting your novel, there are great tips in this episode. We've all experienced the feeling of walking out of a cinema and saying, the book was better. That's definitely the case for The Golden Compass. I've read the book and thoroughly enjoyed it plus the book won the Carnegie Medal which means it's excellent. So how did such a good children story go so wrong when it was adapted for film? That is the question we answer in this episode.

From Norma Desmond to Mrs Robinson, the older woman has long been a provocative icon of cinema. And older woman-younger man relationships are still raising eyebrows and garnering headlines, thanks to recent films like Babygirl, Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy and Marty Supreme. Ellen E Jones and Mark Kermode look at what happens when the woman is older in an age gap relationship, and ask - why is the older woman still such a provocative proposition? Ellen speaks to critic and cosmopolitan older woman Anne Billson about the evolution of the older woman through film history, from Sunset Boulevard to Something's Gotta Give. Mark talks to actor Anne Reid about her controversial first lead film role, in 2003's The Mother - about a sexagenarian grandmother who starts a relationship with her daughter's boyfriend, played by Daniel Craig.And Mark also talks to Matt Greenhalgh, the screenwriter behind Film Stars Don't Die In Liverpool, which told the story of Hollywood star Gloria Grahame's real late-in-life romance with the 28-year-old Liverpudlian actor Peter Turner. Producer: Jane Long A Prospect Street production for BBC Radio 4

Episode Description: “If you were stuck in the last TV show you watched, where would you be—and could you survive?” That's the playful, thought-provoking question that launches this episode of The Sandy Show, sparking hilarious confessions and pop culture debates that will have you laughing and reminiscing.

Benoit Blanc is back — but not in the way you might expect.In this episode, we dig into Wake Up Dead Man, the third entry in Rian Johnson's Knives Out series, and quickly realise this isn't just another playful, sun-drenched whodunnit. The tone is darker, stranger, and far more morbid than Knives Out or Glass Onion, leaning hard into religious imagery, guilt, confession, and moral rot.Set around a remote church and a fire-and-brimstone priest, the film opens with what looks like an impossible murder: a man stabbed in a sealed room, in full view of his congregation. From there, Blanc circles a tight group of suspects — each with motive, history, and secrets — as the film toys with classic murder-mystery rules… and then quietly breaks a few of them.What we talk about in the episode:The tonal shift — why this feels closer to gothic noir than cosy Agatha ChristieReligion, confession, and judgment as thematic engines, not just window dressingWhether the mystery is too Scooby-Doo or intentionally rejecting “fair-play” sleuthingA stacked cast and who actually makes an impact (and who doesn't)Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc: more observer than solver this time — for better or worseThe film's final act, revelations, and why it left us oddly unsatisfied despite clever ideasHow it stacks up against Knives Out (still the gold standard) and Glass Onion (the loudest sibling)We also get into a broader debate about modern murder mysteries, Netflix's influence on structure and pacing, and whether this series is drifting away from the thing that made it work in the first place: watching a brilliant detective actually do the detecting.If you like your whodunnits bleak, talky, and a little unholy — or if you just want to hear us wrestle with a film that's clever, flawed, and deliberately frustrating — this one's for you.

We speak to actor Fernando Guillén Cuervo who played the duplicitous Bolivian Colonel Of Police Carlos in Quantum Of Solace. He tells us about being in a family of Spanish acting royalty, writing, producing and directing his own films, and working with the likes of Daniel Craig, Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas, Penelope Cruz and Ridley Scott.Thanks for listening - we think you'll love it too!

We took a little break from Bond and Mike brought us back to watch Daniel Craig's second outing in Quantum of Solace.

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!

The cast is stacked top to bottom, and everyone clearly understands the assignment. No weak links here — every performance adds suspicion or straight-up chaos to the mystery. Daniel Craig continues to be the MVP, fully settled into Blanc's eccentric brilliance. The mystery itself is twisty, layered, and fun, constantly nudging you to rethink what you think you know. While it doesn't completely reinvent the franchise, it proves that strong characters, sharp dialogue, and confident performances can still carry the weight. Is it the best Knives Out? That's debatable but I think so. Easily one of the most entertaining whodunits. #WakeUpDeadMan #KnivesOut #MovieReview #Whodunit #MysteryMovie #FilmTwitter #MovieTalk #DanielCraig #EnsembleCast #NowWatching #CinemaDiscussion

Steve's Required Viewing pick is the small-town horror/comedy Ick, which concerns a bunch of people whose quaint, sheltered world is infested with malevolent forces that have slowly grown in power over countless years (gee I wonder what that's like), and the guys discuss that before moving on to Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Benoit Blanc murder mystery from Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig, with another all-star cast and a lot to say about the nature of belief, centered on a small, hyper-religious cult of personality that threatens to corrupt everyone it touches (gee I wonder what that's like). The guys also take a moment to admire the amazing career of the irreplaceable Rob Reiner.

Zwei beliebte Franchises haben einen 3. Teil bekommen! Und Lenny, Marius & Xenia werfen in dieser Podcastfolge einen Blick darauf: In KNIVES OUT 3 – WAKE UP DEAD MAN kehrt Detektiv Benoit Blanc, gespielt von Daniel Craig, zurück, um einen mysteriösen Mordfall in einer Kirche zu lösen. In AVATAR: FIRE AND ASH führt James Cameron uns wieder auf den Mond Pandora, wo sich eine dritte Partei in den Krieg der Menschen und Na'vi einmischt. Allerdings gefällt einer dieser Filme den dreien deutlich besser als der andere. Hört rein und erfahrt, welcher! Außerdem gibt es natürlich wieder Infos zu den Starts der Woche, die mit FALLOUT Staffel 2, SORRY BABY und SCHWARZES GOLD ganz schön vielversprechend aussehen. Also viel Spaß mit dieser Folge auf CINEMA STRIKES BACK! :)

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.

Sean and Amanda begin the show by honoring the towering career of Rob Reiner following his devastating passing (1:22). Then, they open up the mailbag and answer your questions about the general panic and angst about the future of the movie business (7:48). Next, they cover Rian Johnson's new murder mystery sequel, ‘Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,' starring Josh O'Connor and Daniel Craig (1:10:14). Finally, Johnson joins the show to discuss why he gravitates toward murder mysteries as a storyteller, how his personal relationship with religion and faith has evolved over time, and why he was blown away by O'Connor's performance (1:24:58).

Josh O'Connor has four films out this year. In Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, Rian Johnson's latest whodunnit, he shape-shifts into a boxer turned priest. O'Connor talks about how working with a stacked ensemble cast didn't take away from the community and collaboration he craves, calling it “a beautiful thing.” He also reveals the moments on set with Daniel Craig and Glenn Close that left him in awe. Plus, The Crown actor dishes on what preparation was like ahead of hosting SNL, how his very late introduction to TikTok came about, and the current state of his beloved frog pond. Video episodes are available on the Still Watching Netflix YouTube Channel. Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

There's a mystery afoot on today's episode of Script Apart – and that mystery is how you write a film like Wake Up Dead Man, the new Knives Out movie from my guest today, Rian Johnson. How do you craft a whodunit that's simultaneously gripping, hilarious and loaded with weighty reflections on religion's use as a weapon of fear in our current political climate? In the words of Benoit Blanc, it “makes no damn sense” to me, “Compels me, though.”Which is why it was such a treat to ask the man himself. Rian's a filmmaker who you might know from 2005 high school noir Brick, 2008's The Brothers Bloom or the fantastic 2012 sci-fi Looper. He directed one of the best episodes of TV this side of the millennium in the form of Breaking Bad's ‘Fly' episode, and created the brilliant Poker Face, starring Natasha Lyonne. In 2019, he wrote and directed Knives Out, starring Daniel Craig as a Southern-accented sleuth, which was a huge sensation. A sequel followed in 2022, as part of a major deal with Netflix. And somewhere amid all that, he made a low-budget indie that probably completely passed under your radar because it was barely discussed upon release. Let me just check my notes here… Star Wars: The Last Jedi? Never heard of it personally.Wake Up Dead Man is maybe his most personal and politically-charged film yet, though, as you'll hear in this conversation. Rian's relationship with religion is… well, it's complicated. In this spoiler conversation, he tells me about his lapsed faith and story of growing up in the Church… before leaving it. It's a story that totally altered my perspective on The Last Jedi – a movie about lapsed faith – and shone a fascinating light on this latest adventure in the life of Benoit Blanc. We get into the overlap between the “cult of personality” church figurehead, Wicks, in Wake Up Dead Man and the politicians in our newspaper headlines each morning right now – many of whom position themselves of Christians and preach messages of fear; them against us. And Rian also tells me what the future perhaps looks like for him, twenty years on from Brick – the next steps in his storytelling to come.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.
