Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 11

Kusama had an early lead but that evaporated quickly.

 

because of the bot thing I'm now questioning every single victory where the winner came back from being down big

 

But that has always happened all the time since they started doing this.

 

to my knowledge this is the first time the bot thing has come up but I could be misremembering

 

The big come backs have always happened

 

again the bot stuff has never been a part of it until now, so now that that box has been opened I'm questioning everything

 

Like even if the original bot accusations weren't true, which idk if they were or not because I'm not knowledgeable enough about it to tell one way or the other, now that the concept is out there someone who believed it was true could have just decided "well, fuck it, might as well use bots myself". People suck.

 

They just really didn't want to watch Gigli

 

If Kusama wins the whole thing (I don’t think she will; I think Boyle or WKW will knock her out) I’ll be right there with you.

 

It's not even about Kusama specifically, like I said it's just once you open that pandora's box, whether it really happened or didn't, the potential will always be there that someone who did take it seriously decides to get bots themselves ya know. It's just lame that something that was supposed to be fun can get tainted so easily. Idk if I'm making sense.

 

Truly don’t understand why so many people want a Gore Verbinski series

 

People are already nostalgic for the Pirates movies.

I can at least get on board for the Mouse Hunt, The Ring, Rango, and Cure For Wellness episodes

 

70S ALTMAN LETS DO THISSSS

 

Wouldn't be mad if Altman won but I want either Carpenter or Dante to win it all, so I'm going with Dante

 

For the Elaine May movies if anyone needs to know where to get them:

A New Leaf- on Paramount Plus currently

The Heartbreak Kid- looks like this is the whole movie

Mikey and Nicky: on HBO Max and Amazon Prime

Ishtar- looks like this one is gonna have to be a rental from somewhere. Amazon has it for $3.99.

 

A New Leaf is also on The Criterion Channel

 

ah didn’t know that, nice

 

I voted Wong when Boyle was still winning by a decent chunk and now Wong is ahead so that's great.

 

Man this bracket just keeps getting whittled down into a “I’d love any of these” situation and I’m here for it.

 

Altman is such a blind spot for me. I think I’m rooting for him so I have an excuse to dig in.

 

Every movie in that series is either good (almost all of them) or INSANE (Quintet).

 

I wonder if they would include HealtH and Popeye in that series. Both came out in ‘80, but are definitely a part of that insane run.

 

They’ve said on Twitter that Popeye would be the last movie because it was a blank check

 

Bummed to see Spike Jonze pulling away. He is by far the least interesting winner left in the bracket to me.
