Luke, Matt, and Westy gather round the Thrombey estate to investigate Rian Johnson's modern whodunit masterpiece. We tell the story of how Johnson wrote the script on spec, assembled a murderers' row of A-listers, and turned every detective movie convention inside out, all while giving Daniel Craig the most gloriously absurd accent of his career. From the casting battles to the donut hole speech, we dig into the craft, the chaos, and why this film made studios remember that original screenplays still pack houses.

Die Whodunit Filmreihe «Knves out» geht in die dritte Runde. Der Film «Wake up dead man» von Regisseur Rian Johnson mit Daniel Craig als schräger Ermittler Benoit Blanc in der Hauptrolle spielt in einer Kirchengemeinde. Das passt natürlich ausserordentlich gut zu Popcorn Culture. Im Zentrum der Geschichte stehen die Lebensgeschichten zweier katholischer Priester, deren Wege sich in der Kirchgemeinde treffen. Einer von beiden wird umgebracht, während der andere unter Verdacht steht der Mörder zu sein. So die Ausgangslage. Aber es geht in dem Film um viel mehr als die Annahme, der junge, neue Priester habe den alten, erfahrenen getötet. Die weit wichtigere Frage, die in diesem Krimi verhandelt wird, ist die des richtigen und falschen Glaubens. Jay und Janna diskutieren über das Doppelgebot der Liebe und welch unterschiedliche Formen der Glaube im Leben einzelner Menschen annehmen kann.

In this episode, we ask: Has James Bond Lost His Identity?  For over 60 years, James Bond defined cinematic cool. He was fantasy.  He was spectacle.  He was escapism.  But today, Bond bleeds. He Bond grieves.  He changes.  So what happened?  In this episode of Cracking the Code of Spy Movies, we decode Bond's identity crisis. We compare classic 007 with the modern era, examining tone, realism, and serialized storytelling.  We ask whether evolution became erosion.  From the gadget-loaded spectacle of Goldfinger to the raw reinvention of Casino Royale, Bond has transformed.   The Daniel Craig era reshaped the franchise.  Emotional arcs replaced standalone missions. Continuity replaced formula. And vulnerability replaced invincibility. Was this necessary growth or a loss of identity?  We explore:  Has realism made James Bond less fun?  Is modern Bond still truly 007?  Should Bond return to standalone missions?  Did serialized storytelling weaken replay value?  What must Amazon get right next?  With Amazon MGM Studios steering the future, the stakes are enormous.  Bond stands at a crossroads between fantasy and grit. Between myth and modernity. And between timeless and timely.  As promised in NO TIME TO DIE, James Bond will return. But which version will we meet? What will his identity be?  This episode dives deep into the debate dividing generations of fans. Is Bond aspirational fantasy or grounded realism?  The martini is still shaken.  The question is whether the identity still is.  Join the conversation. The future of 007 depends on it.  Tell us what you think: Has James Bond lost his identity?  What identity would you like the new James Bond to have?  Do you think he's lost his identity?  Let us know your thoughts, ideas for future episodes, and what you think of this episode. Just drop us a note at info@spymovienavigator.com.  The more we hear from you, the better the show will surely be!  We'll give you a shout-out in a future episode!     You can check out all our CRACKING THE CODE OF SPY MOVIES podcast episodes on your favorite podcast app or our website.

In 2005 (and 2008 for the American translation), the posthumous release of Swedish author Stieg Larsson's "Millennium Trilogy" took the world by storm. A series of Swedish cinematic adaptations soon followed, making even bigger pop culture icons of the characters of Mikael Blomkvist, a crusading journalist, and Lisbeth Salander, the punk computer hacker with a mysterious past. And then, Hollywood decided to take their crack at it...not once, but twice. And we're investigating both, with our "The Girl with the Failed February Franchises" theme month! First, a look at 2011's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Directed by David Fincher and starring Daniel Craig as Blomkvist and Rooney Mara as Salander, the American adaptation was seen by some as a more prestigious adaptation of the first book in Larsson's series; a surefire awards contender and franchise starter. But was it released too soon after the Swedish films? Was its subject matter actually too dark for American audiences, especially given its Christmas release? We explore these questions and more, including how the film rates as part of Fincher's overall filmography, and what it meant for his career moving forward.

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!

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.

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.
