Knives Out Isn’t About the Murder | Wake Up Dead Man Breakdown | Parallel Frequencies
What if the biggest mystery in Knives Out: Wake Up Dead Man isn’t the murder at all? In this spoiler-filled episode of Parallel Frequencies with Just Blane & Coco, the hosts unpack the film’s haunting themes of judgment, grace, religion, and patience. This third entry in the Knives Out universe trades flashy twists for something sharper, asking audiences to sit still, pay attention, and observe human behavior instead of waiting to be spoon-fed answers.
The conversation explores Daniel Craig’s Benoît Blanc as a detective who watches people unravel themselves, the moral tension between justice and mercy, and how religion is portrayed as both refuge and weapon. Coco brings powerful insight into spiritual archetypes, while Blane breaks down why this film punishes distracted viewers and rewards those willing to engage fully.
Along the way, they highlight standout performances from Josh O’Connor, Josh Brolin, Glenn Close, Kerry Washington, Jeffrey Wright, and more, while reflecting on how modern movies are changing to accommodate distracted audiences.
