Podcast appearances and mentions of Rian Johnson

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Denzember 2 kicks off with a conversation about Spike Lee and Denzel Washington's first collaboration, 1990's Mo' Better Blues, a film about jazz, art-making, and the pursuit of greatness at the expense of personal relationships. The terrific Minnie Zondi is our guest! We discuss the film's tepid reception upon release, and how a (predominantly white) critical audience failed to understand the political dimensions of a film about Black music and its commercial and social appropriation. Then, we reflect on Spike Lee's career and his brilliant cohort of collaborators, including composer Terence Blanchard (making his first appearance on a Spike Lee soundtrack), cinematographer Ernest R. Dickerson, and the electric stylings of costume designer Ruth E. Carter. Finally, we reflect on the movie's complicated ending, and what we're to make of its reflections on artistry, family, and whether exceptional talents can hold the two in balance.

Caleb Masters shares his quick reaction to WAKE UP DEAD MAN, the highly anticipated third Knives Out film from writer/director Rian Johnson, ahead of its limited one week only theatrical release. The post Bonus Mini-Review: Wake Up Dead Man – The Cinematic Schematic appeared first on The Cinematropolis.

This is our spoiler-free review for Wake Up Dead Man, the latest entry in Rian Johnson's Knives Out series. We break down the film's striking gothic look and feel — from Steve Yedlin's atmospheric cinematography to the way light shapes the story — and talk through the performances, including Daniel Craig's ever-magnetic return as Benoit Blanc.We also get into how the film's familiar narrative structure affects the mystery this time around, why the ensemble's character dynamics feel looser, and how the story doesn't quite hit the same heights as the original. Finally, we share our overall thoughts and ratings, celebrating what the movie gets right while digging into where it falls short and what this franchise needs to evolve moving forward.Catch Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery in select theatres starting November 26, and stream it globally on Netflix December 12.

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. After a sudden and seemingly impossible murder rocks the town, the lack of an obvious suspect prompts local police chief Geraldine Scott to join forces with renowned detective Benoit Blanc to unravel a mystery that defies all logic.

If you cook the bird, we'll bring the sides for you on this Thanksgiving Week episode of Breakfast All Day. Here are the big movies coming out that we reviewed: WAKE UP DEAD MAN. The third movie in Rian Johnson's "Knives Out" series has more on its mind than its predecessors. But the latest murder mystery is just as fun in its twists and turns, and it features yet another delightful performance from Daniel Craig as Detective Benoit Blanc. This is a non-spoiler review, because as always, the less you know the better. In select theaters Nov. 26 before streaming on Netflix Dec. 12. HAMNET. A major awards contender with a ton of hype, but our review isn't quite so fawning. Director and co-writer Chloé Zhao's film is inspired by the true story of William Shakespeare and his wife as they deal with the devastation of losing their son, Hamnet, at age 11. Paul Mescal and Jessie Buckley co-star. In select theaters Nov. 26 before expanding Dec. 5. REBUILDING. It's Josh O'Connor Week (he's also in "Wake Up Dead Man"), which is just fine with us. Here he stars as a cowboy struggling to put his life back together after a wildfire ravages his Colorado ranch. This is a quietly moving indie gem that we both loved. Lily LaTorre is excellent as his young daughter.

"All this podcast crap, just fries your brain like an egg..." - We travel through time as Dave takes 2012's Looper off the shelf. Phil struggles to get beyond JGL's look and Bruce Willis' face but in the end find the movie to be better than he expected. Rian Johnson creates another layered and sometimes perplexing plotted film that is made more interesting by the supporting cast. Dave remembers that this was a movie that he tried to watch a number of times over the years but never got more than a few minutes in. He is glad to finally have an excuse to watch it and feels the movie is a little lacking in the overall presentation despite generally enjoying it.

Original Release Date: Monday 17 November 2025    Description:   Big changes are coming, with much more content each week. This week, Dean and Phil hint more at what these changes might bring, while whetting the appetite thru discussions of art, culture, television, movies and acting. The festivities begin with Dean revealing which of the cities he has lived in most inspired his painting. The return of Vince Gilligan to the small screen gets discussed, the hilarious new sitcom “Stumble” gets reviewed, and the cancellation of Rian Johnson's “Poker Face” AND his plans to revive it get analyzed. In “Celebrity Deaths”, the maverick independent filmmaker Henry Jaglom gets remembered and his ongoing legacy and influence are pondered. Then a whole raft of new Netflix films get mentioned before Dean doffs his cap at Guillermo del Toro's Netflix version of Frankenstein, and Phil wags his finger at the preposterous The Woman in Cabin 10. Finally, The Fantastic Four: First Steps gets revisited before the state of acting in the 1970s gets hailed as, perhaps, the all-time peak of screen acting.

Considering the number of iconic women that have worked on Ryan Murphy projects, it's shocking Glenn Close hasn't. That's changing with Hulu's All's Fair. “I was intimidated until I started to understand the tone. And once I understood the tone, then it became really fun,” Close told Newsweek's H. Alan Scott. Close plays Dina, a powerful lawyer in an all-female firm that includes actors Kim Kardashian, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash and Naomi Watts, among others. “To bring all that energy...and all that experience together is bound to create something really unique.” It also created a special bond. “This group of women, they'll be my friends for the rest of my life.” Part of what keeps Close working, beyond immense talent, is that she refuses to repeat herself—“I'm basically up for anything as long as it represents a new exploration.” She'll next be seen in Rian Johnson's Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery, offered the same week as All's Fair. “I got two Ryans in the same week.

Oscar Goff (Boston Hassle) returns as a murder suspect to help us discuss Knives Out! Together we dig into the careers of the ensemble, Rian Johnson's clever script, Netflix curse of these movies and 2019 in review

Video: https://bit.ly/3VEvFth Actor icon, movie producer and director, and founder of the famous Sundance Festival, Robert Redford, passed away very recently, at age 89, after 60+ years of amazing professional work in the cinematic industry. In addition to his $1B+ career box office receipts, he won numerous Oscars and other major awards and helped kickstart the careers of many dozens of – then - unknown indie filmmakers like Quentin Taratino, Steve Soderbourgh, Richard Linklater, Rian Johnson and many others, too numerous to list here. Redford practiced a double, contradictory life. While continuing to work within the Hollywood system throughout his career (to finance his indie activities?), Redford also legitimized independent filmmaking for all time and -as much as any one person could- re-shaped how American movies were both made - and the neglected topics they dramatized. In this episode, Anuradha and I initially discuss Mr. Redford's overall career and then we replay a famous past episode of this pod where we discuss the Watergate Scandal – and concurrently – Redford's very first maiden, movie producing effort, “All The President's Men”, which became an unlikely bock office hit and won 4 Oscars.

This week, Ben and Rob sink their teeth into Knives Out (2019), Rian Johnson's razor-sharp murder mystery starring Daniel Craig, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Shannon, Don Johnson, and Toni Collette. A modern riff on Agatha Christie, Knives Out blends old-school detective tropes with wickedly funny satire and a cast firing on all cylinders.But who is Rian Johnson, really? Why was Knives Out written in the first place? How does the film prove Johnson is a master liar, using misdirection to keep audiences guessing until the very last moment? And how did the fallout from Star Wars: The Last Jedi shape the way he wrote this murder mystery in the first place?Most importantly; what does Knives Out really mean beneath the laughs, the sweaters, and Benoit Blanc's legendary accent? The lads dive into Johnson's layered storytelling, the legacy of the whodunnit genre, and why this film became one of the most beloved mysteries of the century.PLUS!

Welcome to Multiverse News, Your source for Information about all your favorite fictional universesRight after our episode last week, our pal James Gunn dropped big news on Wednesday - the next Superman film written by him will be called Man of Tomorrow. Gunn, David Corneswet, and others involved shared particular artwork by DC Comics President Jim Lee that showed Lex Luthor in a mech suit to make the announcement. In typical Gunn fashion, the DC Studios co-chair has teased this film isn't a direct sequel, but is the next installment in what he calls the “Superman saga.” The film's title is reminiscent of the Milly Alcock led Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, which releases next year. In other DC movie news, Weapons director Zach Cregger addressed rumors that have been circulating about his involvement with a Joker and Harley Quinn movie. Cregger called stories about him having written a treatment for the two iconic DC villains “blown out of proportion,” but did indicate that he has a couple of films he's interested in working on, though he hasn't spoken with James Gunn yet.At the Toronto International Film Festival last Friday, Ryan Reynolds finally admitted the internet's worst kept secret - that he was the one who leaked the original Deadpool test footage in 2014 to the world wide web. Reynolds went on to say that Fox simply didn't seem interested in releasing an R-rated superhero movie and his passion for the character led him to the extreme action, which he doesn't regret. Fans of Deadpool are likely forever grateful that Reynolds did what he did, which led to pressure on the studio to make the film a reality. In other questionable swings from stars both in front of and behind the camera, The Russos released a blurry image with the caption #Doomsday Is Coming via Instagram earlier today.No last rites are being read for horror at the box office this year, as the supposed final installment in the Conjuring universe, The Conjuring: Last Rites, raked in $84 million domestically this weekend for its opening. This massive box office marks the best for this franchise ever, and the third biggest opening for a horror film of all-time. Warner Brothers and New Line are laughing all the way to the bank, having projected a $35 million opening box office and the movie cost about $55 million to make. The film's global take as of today is $194 million. In other Conjuring news, a series in development at HBO Max set in the universe took a big step forward today, hiring Nancy Won as writer, executive producer, and showrunner, who will write the series alongside Peter Cameron and Cameron Squires. The Office spin off The Paper, which debuted its first season last week has been renewed for a second season on Peacock.Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Nia DaCosta's “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple," the follow up to this year's 28 Years Later. The film is set to release on January 16.Prime Video has confirmed rumors that Game of Thrones alum Sophie Turner will play Lara Croft in its Tomb Raider series from creator, writer and co-showrunner Phoebe Waller-Bridge. Production on the series will begin in January.John C. McGinley has joined the cast of ABC's Scrubs reboot and will reprise his role as Dr. Perry Cox from the original series. He joins fellow returnees Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison and Judy Reyes in the cast.The White Lotus creator Mike White and HBO have zeroed in on France as the location for the upcoming fourth season of the hit murder mystery comedy-drama series, sources tell Deadline.Two time Academy Award nominee Djimon Hounsou has joined the cast of Amazon MGM's reboot of Highlander, the Hollywood Reporter has learned exclusively.The first trailer for Rian Johnson's upcoming Knives Out film Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man has been released.
