About this listen
This month, Ryan and Laura dive into Wake Up Dead Man - a standout entry in the Benoit Blanc/Knives Out series. They praise its fun whodunit setup while focusing on its unusually thoughtful portrayal of Christianity: Father Judd’s Christlike leadership, the community’s vulnerability to charismatic leaders like Monsignor Wicks, and how faith is broadly presented with both flaws and real value. They praise the film’s writing, performances, and visual symbolism, and conclude with reflections on personal obedience, presence with God, and deeper engagement with Jesus.
