I was lucky enough to see Wake Up Dead Man last week (thank you, @netflix.com and @iffboston.bsky.social).

It's fantastic and you should go see it! (Except maybe if you have trauma from being raised in a patriarchal Christian faith.)

I saw an early screening of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery at the #BrattleTheatre as part of @iffboston.bsky.social #FallFocus

It was great, I think my favorite of the series. Thanks #Netflix for putting it in independent theatres.

When you have a screening on Halloween you’re legally obligated to have a costume contest

Thanks to everyone who showed up and showed out before our screening of WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY!

If you managed to snag tickets to WAKE UP DEAD MAN: A KNIVES OUT MYSTERY (or if you’re braving the rush line), remember to break out your cable knit sweaters and deerstalker caps tonight for our costume contest!
There’s just one more thing... because this screening is on Halloween, all attendees are encouraged to dress up as a character from their favorite whodunnit! Prizes will be awarded for the best costume.
