Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 7

The Walk is my least favorite Zemeckis BY FAR (although I haven’t seen The Witches yet). Thought it was fine in theaters but hated it when I rewatched it a few weeks ago. I just find JGL’s performance exhausting and none of the other characters get anything to do at all.

I was somehow won over on my rewatch of Welcome to Marwen tho.

 

haven’t seen the walk since it was in theaters but i remember thinking it was so average it hurts. and then the only great thing happens

that said, i’m looking forward to what more people think about allied. i’m still surprised that i liked it quite a bit

 

The Walk is a fine movie overall, but I have a real bad fear of heights and also stepping on a nail that is sticking straight up... so this movie was real hard to watch

 

I was fully ready to hate The Walk so maybe that's why it worked for me.

 

Had never seen Allied before and fully agree it kinda slaps

 

The Walk’s titular scene in IMAX 3-D was amazing. I was gripping my seat.

 

This podcast has been such a joy. Found it back in July or August and I feel like I’ve been watching 4-5 movies a week just trying to keep up and catch up. It’s been such a fun quarantine ride

 

The Marwen ep is off the rails and a delight. (Just like the movie imo...)

 

I loved all the talk of Carell’s career because it’s been a weird, interesting path. Pretty crazy trajectory when “The Daily Show” barely gets a mention.

 

nothing about marwen is delightful

 

I loathed every second I watched Marwen but I did love the episode.

 

(Also Dan in real life is a chicken soup movie for me)

 

Hated Marwen when I saw it in theaters but I had basically the same reaction as Ben when I watched it at home

 

Haven’t seen Marwen but it can’t possibly be worse than The Witches

 

The Witches is indeed terrible. And already doesn’t exist.

 

i liked octavia in it

 

Just started it a few minutes ago, and yeah Octavia is great and her monologues about witches feel sincere despite the rest of this movie being so cartoony

 

Watching Marwencol for the first time and honestly it makes me hate Marwen even more.

 

Feb-March:

Musker & Clements + Blankie Awards

April:

Elaine May

Patreon:

Star Trek OC Series (1-6)

 

Woot. I was hoping for Resident Evil but that would probably be way more fun in person. Hopefully they can do it for Halloween!

 

Didn't know there was a thread on here...just popping in. We're slightly behind because we're waiting on the Marwencol DVD from the library to be available before we watch the last two Zemeckis. Definitely relieved for the next mini to all be on one streaming service.

 

I liked The Witches a lot. Reminded me of all those Disney Channel movies.

 

It didn't dawn on me until that most of the golden age Disney animated films were directed by the same people. That should be fun.

 

I really think Fincher is coming after May.

 

very down with Musker & Clemens.
