Someone Noticed Netflix Made A Funny Flub With Wake Up Dead Man, And I Love Rian Johnson’s Response

Benoit Blanc has another mystery to contend with, and it all plays out in Wake Up Dead Man, the latest installment in Rian Johnson’s Knives Out series. The highly anticipated 2025 Netflix release is garnering buzz amongst fans and film pundits alike. As a result, a number of people have taken to social media to weigh in on the flick. What I didn’t expect was for someone to post about noticing a funny technical flub that the streamer made with the film. Nevertheless, I love that Rian Johnson responded with a truly excellent take.

One of the most important duties that the folks at Netflix have when it comes to content is making sure that films are captioned correctly. Based on my personal experiences, the finished result for a given movie or TV show is usually on point. However, one user took to X after they realized that one of Benoit Blanc’s lines wasn’t correctly captioned for the subtitles. Because of that, there’s alternate wording that hilariously changes up the point of what Blanc was saying. Per the caption, Blanc says, “Telling the truth can be a belly rub.”
