Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 32

The 70s-00s region is stacked af. Might need to stan hardest for Mel Brooks. Or Don Bluth.

 

There are so many potential great minis that can come out of this bracket. I'm overwhelmed.

Bluth is one I've always wanted simply because of what an all timer of an episode Titan A.E. would be. It's part of the death of 2D animation in America and closed a studio down

 

truly spoiled for choice this MM

 

Feel like Early Spielberg or Kubrick is gonna run away with it, but I’m riding hard for Preston Sturges!

 

Would like one of the Bonds, Robocop, or Superman I think.

 

Yeah I want Bond

 

heads up: in the cut and bright star leave netflix at the end of march

 

I’m all in on either a Planet of the Apes series or an Airport series

 

Depending on his mood, he can be a bit overbearing. He was on this week's "Scott Hasn't Seen" and basically took over the entire show. I love him and think he's often funny and insightful, but benefits from in-person records where he's not taking over the conversation.

 

why'd no one else bump for this

 

only one of his i haven't seen is the baseball one and that's on either tubi or imdb.tv

 

having trouble getting through crimewave. it’s zaniness doesn’t match it’s complete lack of pacing and plot.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news but… R.I.P. to maybe my favorite person on this site.

 

Holy shit I can’t believe this. RIP

 

Really going to miss TJ’s input in here.

 

That’s just awful. RIP

 

I’ve only ever seen the 2013 Evil Dead before today. Watching the first one and it is wild

 

Really good ep.

 

I’ve somehow never seen Army of Darkness even though I’ve seen Evil Dead 1 and 2 and two seasons of Ash Vs. Evil Dead

 

Finally finished Campion last night. Really loved Power Of The Dog.

 

Watched Crimewave last night and… it’s one of the most unpleasant things I’ve ever watched that somehow kinda won me over by the end?

 

For me:

The Power of the Dog
The Piano
In The Cut
Bright Star
Sweetie
An Angel At My Table
The Portrait of a Lady
Holy Smoke
Two Friends

 

A uniquely irritating film

 

I've loved the balance of the more serious attention to history and context on the last couple minis (the dossier works wonders!) without sacrificing goofiness and charm... but I'm still dreading that they're going to have trouble talking about some of these older filmographies if they win March Madness. Welles and Lean and Lang deserve so much better than bit fodder and I'm nervous. Probably unfairly so! They've surprised me before! But we'll see.

 

The art is so good
