I See You’ve Called in Dead

20 April 2025

I See You’ve Called in Dead is a dryly funny, oddly uplifting slice-of-life tale that hits somewhere between existential crisis and offbeat workplace comedy. It follows Bud Stanley, an obituary writer who is barely scraping by emotionally when he accidentally
