We review: Wake Up Dead Man (AKA Knives Out 3), Ella McCay, and more

The third of Knives Out film brings back Daniel Craig’s master detective Benoit Blanc and director Rian Johnson for WAKE UP DEAD MAN, and Dan and Simon take a magnifying glass to Netflix’s blockbuster whodunnit. There’s not much happening TV-wise, so Dan reignites his not-at-all-hidden love for Jon Hamm and talks MAD MEN. Meanwhile Simon emerges blood-splattered after watching the slasher remake SILENT NIGHT, DEADLY NIGHT, and caked in Japanese theatrical make-up after experiencing the Kabuki epic, KOKUHO. Enjoy!
