A cinematic obsessive with the filmic palate of a starving raccoon, Rob London will watch pretty much anything once. With a mind like a steel trap, he's an endless fount of movie and TV trivia, borne from a misspent youth of watching monster movies on TV, perusing the sun-faded goods at the local video rental shop, and staining his fingers with ink from the Video Movie Guide. Areas of interest include science fiction, film noir, horror flicks, '70s disaster pictures, Bond movies, '90s action, giant robots, dinosaurs, super heroes, and the exuberantly schlocky output of Cannon Films. He also enjoys both Star Trek and Star Wars when they're good, and maybe even more when they're bad. As a Canadian, he also has a vested interest in Canadian movies and TV shows, especially the cheesier ones dubbed "Canuxploitation."
An expert on Marvel Comics, he has also written for the Official Handbook of the Marvel Universe, and is a member of the Marvel Research Team. He can frequently be found pontificating on comic-book continuity or bemoaning the misfortunes of the Toronto Maple Leafs on his Twitter account.

This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available.While fans have been demanding that Daniel Craig's Southern-fried sleuth, Benoit Blanc, cross over with The Muppets since the 2019 release of Knives Out, Netflix may have just given them the next best thing. Beignet Blanc, Benoit's puppet counterpart, has a mystery to solve on Sesame Street in a new clip just released by the streamer, which hosts both the long-running educational children's show, and the next Benoit Blanc mystery, Wake Up Dead Man.
In "Forks Out," Cookie Monster is preparing to dig into a triple berry pie, only to discover an empty plate. (Oscar the Grouch's sardine pie, tragically, remains untouched.) This calls for the world's greatest detective...who, much to his dismay, is not Sesame Street's Grover, but the eerily human-like Beignet Blanc, who may be Daniel Craig or a remarkable simulation.
Wake Up Dead Man is playing in select theaters now; it will be released on Netflix on December 12. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.
