Another work WUDM feels very in-conversation with is The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (not just in the importance of lying by omission, but in other structural and character points), and I'd be very interested to hear Johnson talk about that at some point.
There's a piece to be written once Wake Up Dead Man is in wider release about how the Rian Johnson film it's most in conversation with is The Last Jedi (and I don't mean the very silly SW reference it makes, nor its focus on media-inspired anger), and I will be very interested to read it

A random community theatre manager in suburban Minnesota, having just watched a bunch of children casually destroy each other, when the smart one with the blanket says “Lights, please?”: *cracks knuckles* Okay, on me, spot up on Van Pelt.

We are now further away from the theatrical release of Raiders of the Lost Ark (June 12, 1981) than it was from the year it takes place in (1936). We have reached the Indiana Jones event horizon.

Really fun moment in Wake Up Dead Man when it seems for a second like they're straight-up doing Murder of Roger Ackroyd and then you remember "Wait there's still like an hour left in this thing that can't be it"

Josh O'Connor amazing in Wake Up Dead Man (and is also The Lead, arguably even more than Ana De Armas was in Knives Out), which for all its grisly gothic atmosphere is somehow the most intimate and small-scale of the three Benoit Blanc films

Now seated for Wake Up Dead Man, with a Q&A by the great composer Nathan Johnson (and also his cousin, some schmuck named… Roy? Ryan? Who knows)

Brad Bird, congrats, you're finally making your hand-drawn animated 2D film of The Spirit.
If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

It's almost actively hilarious that this season of SW Visions did eight fairly straightforward SW tales (give or take Bird of Paradise, which edges a bit more into surrealism) and then concluded with BLACK, which is one of the craziest, most non-narrative things I've seen any franchise do

Taste of Justice on DC Go is very charming, but they're cowards for not putting Green Arrow's secret spice mix for his canonically Very Hot Chili in that issue's recipe

We hit the Kristen Bell eps in our Deadwood groupwatch tonight - no one quite like Powers Boothe for playing ABSOLUTE EVIL. Also, wild to think there's an alternate universe that very nearly happened where Bell didn't get VM and became a Deadwood regular instead (the offer was on the table!)

answer is great but also it's telling that the guy who's been saying this since day 1 has to answer about whether he's an antisemite for 5 min every interview while the same people grin vacantly at the jewish space lasers lady and call her a brave warrior
WELKER: What is your message to Jewish New Yorkers who feel you won't be tough enough in your response to antisemitism?
MAMDANI: That I am looking forward to being the next mayor and fulfilling the commitment I've made to Jewish New Yorkers to not only protect them but to celebrate and cherish them

Man, I wish I'd gotten to see Kathryn Hunter as Richard III, I *LOVE* that play and I love Kathryn Hunter and she's such an amazing physical performer, that seems like a crazy-awesome match
