Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is the third film of the Knives Out Franchise starring Daniel Craig and Josh O'Connor written and directed by Rian Johnson, I talk about it on this podcast enjoy!
We discuss the newest Knives Out mystery in a new Home Box Office Drop! Directed, and written by Rian Johnson, the newest entry in the Knives Out franchise of course features Daniel Crain returning as Benoit Blanc, alongside Josh O'Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Cailey Spaeny, Thomas Hayden Church, Daryl McCormack, Jeremy Renner, and Mila Kunis. In this episode we talk about Marx's theory on alienation under capitalism (a favorite topic of late), the marriage between the western Christian church and capitalism, the slow burn that is Knives Out, and how Benoit Blanc falls outside of the police and capital partnership and is thus excluded from the fact that ALL cops are in fact bastards.

You Only Live Twice Daniel “007” Craig loses faith in his abilities to solve a third Knives Out Mystery after murdered monsignor Josh Brolin rises from the grave in Wake Up Dead Man. Is Sheriff Mila Kunis right to slap the cuffs on Josh O'Connor after the doubting priest confesses to a violent past? Or should she be looking at suspicious parishioners like bitter Glenn Close, jilted Jeremy Renner, blocked writer Andrew Scott, grabby groundskeeper Thomas Haden Church, resentful lawyer Kerry Washington, and handicapped cellist Cailee Spaeny? Listen Now to this miraculous podcast!
What happens when a murder mystery becomes a theological reckoning? In Wake Up Dead Man, Rian Johnson delivers a Knives Out film that confronts Christian nationalism, toxic masculinity in the church, and the possibility of authentic faith beyond institutional corruption. Rev. Rachel Kessler, aka The Nerdy Priest, joins Matthew to unpack Father Jud's journey from failed boxer to priest, the film's sharp critique of religious authority, and why Benoit Blanc's turning down Jud's invitation to mass is essentially the message of the movie.Questions we discussed:How does the character of the Monsignor embody Christian nationalism and toxic masculinity within church leadership?What does Father Jud's struggle with his violent past reveal about redemption and the nature of calling?How does the film parallel Rian Johnson's themes from The Last Jedi about institutional failure and who gets to own sacred stories?How does the movie distinguish between authentic Christianity and the church as an instrument of patriarchal control?What's the significance of Benoit Blanc experiencing a "road to Damascus moment" but still declining to stay for Mass?Why does the film end with the church renamed "Our Lady of Perpetual Grace" while the pulpit—and its temptations—remains?**************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Still no Avatar? What in the wild world of sports is going on? Ok, we've been hessitant to see it, given that we've been told it's basically a rehash of the second film. If that's twue its twue, but we'll probably see it at some point. This week we Wake Up Dead Man, and talk about the new Knives Out mystery that just...sucks. Then we discuss everyone's favorite Netflix show Stranger Things. Does Hopper finally get to kick ass? Does Eleven toy with Vecna? Why does Johnathon not have a big part and why is Will always upset about something. Also, what the hell is with Max? Plus, a brief mention of Pluribus and some other stuff coming out next year. Finally, we pay our respects to the beloved Rob Reiner, who left us way too soon. Sigh. Happy New Year. May films this year not suck.
We finally get to experience the first in the Fog Trilogy, and the consensus is somewhere around, "It's still sweet, but in that weird Radiohead way. Pleasant, but like I'm up and doing my morning routine now."Want to hear every episode, and see every video review? head to https://archive.org/details/headfullofradio

Rian Johnson is back on Netflix with Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery and this starts off as a bit of a mystery in comparison to the prior iterations of this franchise. This star-studded cast includes Jeffrey Wright, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Thomas Haden Church, and of course Daniel Craig, to name a few. This mystery centers around a Catholic Church in a small town, where a young, but troubled, upstart priest gets sent there to pay recompense and mature as a man of the cloth. Mystery ensues and our favorite guy Benoit shows up to figure out the killer in this surprisingly introspective whodunnit. Please! Subscribe where we are, especially here on YouTube

In this Ask Me Anything episode, Ryan and Kipp kick things off with a lighthearted but revealing conversation before diving into listener questions on purpose, vision, balance, and meaning. They explore why men struggle to articulate what they want, how early conditioning shapes silence, and what happens when men open up and feel shut down. The discussion also tackles work-life balance, daily meaning versus long-term purpose, and why purpose is built through action, not found through thinking alone.

This week on The Analysis (In-Person Pod), Bob hosts from his “temporary studio” (aka the dining room) while construction turns his future basement setup into a work-in-progress—and yes, the backdrop is a 4.5-foot Nakatomi Plaza complete with a Bruce Willis ornament and an LED explosion. From Die Hard Christmas party lore to awards-season streaming season, the guys dig into Netflix's latest lineup with a “Give It a Stream” mindset. First up: Train Dreams—a quiet, devastating, visually stunning frontier story anchored by Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. They unpack the film's naturalistic beauty, the brutal realities of logging life, hidden CGI craft, and why simple stories can hit the hardest. Then they hop aboard Jay Kelly, Noah Baumbach's movie-star meditation starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler. They debate its strong bones vs. a jarring tonal detour, highlight standout scenes (Billy Crudup's “emotional choice” masterclass), and talk about the cost of greatness—career ambition vs. being present for the people who matter. To close, they hit Knives Out 3: Wake Up Deadman, breaking down why these star-stacked whodunits are the perfect “pause-and-theorize” Netflix watch, what works (Josh Brolin + Josh O'Connor showing up big), and where the movie occasionally runs long—but still lands. Also: a quick warning about The Roses… and a bottle-fed cameo from Reese to end the episode.
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!
You gotta have faith because we've got our Knives Out for the third installment in Rian Johnson's murder mystery trilogy "Wake Up Dead Man"!

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

Rian Johnson's new Knives Out film, 'Wake Up Dead Man,' is sparking conversations few mainstream movies ever touch — faith, forgiveness, power and what it actually means to follow Jesus in a polarized world.In this episode, we talk with the filmmaker about growing up in the Church, walking away from faith and why Christ's teachings — especially “love your enemy” — still shape the stories he wants to tell. Johnson opens up about wrestling with the us-versus-them mentality, the corrupting pull of power and influence, and why he wanted to portray Christian belief with empathy rather than caricature.Plus, the RELEVANT crew debates the best Christmas movie of all time in a chaotic bracket showdown, reacts to surprising year-end culture stories and discusses new research suggesting adolescence doesn't actually end until age 32.HIGHLIGHTS:01:40 – Why 'Wake Up Dead Man' Feels Like a Gospel Story04:00 – Serving vs. Fighting: Faith and the Culture War06:45 – Why Culture Is More Open to Spiritual Conversations09:20 – Is Wake Up Dead Man the Best Knives Out Movie?12:10 – Is Rian Johnson Done With Faith?13:10 – Christianity vs. Church Culture20:15 – RELEVANT Buzz22:00 – Forrest Frank Breaks Into Google's “Hum to Search” List26:30 – Theo Von and Morgan Wallen's Bible Study Revealed32:00 – Rian Johnson on Growing Up Evangelical34:00 – “Arms Wide Open vs. Fists Up” Faith Explained39:00 — SLICES39:20 – New Research Says Adolescence Lasts Until Age 3245:15 – AI Reality TV Is Here (Unfortunately)47:30 – Christmas Movie Bracket ChallengeAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Daniel Craig returns as detective Benoit Blanc -- with a cast of suspects that includes Josh O'Connor, Glenn Close, Jeremy Renner, Andrew Scott, Kerry Washington and Thomas Haden Church.
