Check Your Theaters for Wake Up Dead Man!
The next mystery film in the Knives Out series will come to select theaters next week, so check your selection theaters to see if you’re one of them! I was able to see Glass Onion in the theater and that was a hoot, so I’m going to keep my eyes very peeled and my fingers crossed for Wake Up Dead Man.
Until then, here’s a new trailer.
Looks good to me! Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig have made an excellent series of mystery movies, and I can’t wait to see the newest one! So here’s hoping at least one of my local theaters has the film. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait for the Netflix release, which won’t be terrible, but won’t be nearly as much fun.
Wake Up Dead Man comes to select theaters on Wednesday, Nov. 26, and then will be on Netflix on Dec. 12.

Can’t Wait for Wake Up Dead Man!
We got a new trailer yesterday for Wake Up Dead Man, the third Benoit Blanc mystery (or Knives Out mystery, if you will). Can’t wait! These movies are incredible and I hope Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig just keep making them forever.
I was able to see Glass Onion in one of my local theaters back when that first came out, and hopefully I’ll be able to do the same with Wake Up Dead Man. Netflix is fine, but the big screen is the big screen!
The movie looks spooky, which is a nice take. Might as well switch up the settings and styles and tones between movies. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle…but what do I know? I’m not the fashion maven that is Benoit Blanc. I’m sure it will be fine!

Netflix Trailer Bonanza!
Over the weekend, Netflix must have had some kind of exhibitor conference or something, because they released a bunch of trailers for their upcoming movies and projects. Netflix and all streaming services are very bad at marketing their awesome shows and movies, so it makes sense that they’d drop all these trailers at once in a bingable format.
At least it gives me something to post and talk about on a Monday!
First up is the trailer for Happy Gilmore 2. It’s happening. There’s no stopping it now. I’m definitely going to watch. Does watching this movie mean I support studios putting out this kind of low effort slop? Maybe, but I’ve reached a point where I’m too old to care. I’m just gonna do whatever the hell I want and hopefully I’m entertained. That’s all that matters anymore.
Looks so dumb. Chubbs has a son with the exact same wooden hand joke? C’mon, Adam Sandler! But again, I can’t be expecting too much. Just roll with it.
Happy Gilmore 2 comes out on July 25.
Next up, our first look at Wake Up Dead Man, the threequel in the Knives Out series of Benoit Blanc mysteries! I’m super excited for this one.
And it looks great! Definitely did not expect this gothic tone, but then I suppose I had no expectations. Not a fan of Blanc’s new hairstyle, but what do I know? Love the spookiness already. It’ll be a shame when Rian Johnson takes a bit of a break after this one, but by all means, let the man rest. Hopefully we get plenty more Benoit Blanc mysteries in the future.
Wake Up Dead Man comes out on Dec. 12.
Now we’ve got Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein! I’m sure I heard he was making this at some point.
Looks awesome! I’m not classic monster expert, nor am I bored of people remaking all these classic monster movies. Del Toro can try his hand at whatever creature feature he wants; he’s earned his reputation. This is probably going to be one of those movies that makes you wonder why Netflix didn’t push to put it on the big screen. Surely they’d make some good money that way? But, again, what do I know? The monster looks so freaky there at the end.
Frankenstein comes out in November.
Lastly, we have our first look at the fifth and final season of Stranger Things. Everybody always thinks the long break between seasons of this show will somehow hurt the series, but season 4 was a total banger!
Looks good to me! I’m fully on board with Stranger Things, and I look forward to them going out on their own terms, however they want, with a big, explosive, action-packed, most likely emotional final season. I have no idea how they might plan to end this, so I say let them do whatever they want! It’ll no doubt be fun and entertaining.
The final season of Stranger Things will come out in three parts, on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s Eve. Solid strategy.
Looks like a solid slate of things to watch this year on Netflix. Good times!

Who’s Up For Trying to Catch Glass Onion in Theaters?
Knives Out was amazing. I saw it in theaters with high hopes based on the trailers, and even those hopes were blown out of the water by how good it was! So you’re gosh darn right I’m quite pleased that Rian Johnson was given a ton of money by Netflix to make more Benoit Blanc mysteries. Glass Onion looks darn good!
Looks like a fun murder mystery, with a great cast and a really neat lead detective! I’m totally in.
So Glass Onion is coming to Netflix on Dec. 23, which is fine. I can watch it with my family over Christmas, perhaps. But it’s also going to get a limited theatrical release for, like, one week starting on Nov. 23. If that movie is playing anywhere near me, you best believe I’m going to see it in theaters! I can’t wait!

Our First Look at Glass Onion, the Knives Out Sequel
We’ve finally got a trailer for Glass Onion, the sequel to the exceptionally good murder mystery Knives Out from a couple of years ago. That movie was such a success that writer/director Rian Johnson is going to do a whole bunch of Benoit Blanc mysteries, thanks to some generous funding from Netflix. I am totally on board with this!
The trailer looks great! Very stylish, and with a great cast of characters. It’s a shame that Blanc will no longer have his various sidekicks from the first movie, because his chemistry with Ana de Armas was magical. But such is the life of a wandering super detective!
Glass Onion comes to Netflix later this year!
