Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 25

Prince of Darkness rules so much. I think it's Carpenter's scariest.

 

it’s one of the scariest movies I’ve ever seen

 

I've really enjoyed watching all his movies but haven't really found any of them all that scary (even the Thing is more gross than scary), so I'm excited to check that out this weekend.

 

I mostly agree with this statement, but I saw The Thing way too young and when the chest opens up and bites the guys hands off I thought it was the scariest thing that could ever happen.

 

Tangible stuff like slashers or aliens don’t really get me scared at all but stuff like in Prince of Darkness is what does it every time lol

 

Gonna be honest, I was not scared by it, lol. I found it quite boring tbh and I’m not sure what I’m missing.

 

I've listened to both episodes, big fan of it so far.

 

I'm listening to the Starman episode and they're making fun of this Hank the Cowdog podcast. I fucking loved those books when I was a kid, I'm gonna check this out haha

 

LETS GOOOOOO

 

I was kinda surprised how on Mitch was during RR, he clearly loves talking about movies. Excited!

 

HOLY SHIT

 

OH MY FUCK

 

This week’s movie is really testing my “watch every movie before listening” patience, Jesus Christ, what trash.

 

The only thing I know about "Memoirs of an Invisible Man" is its hilariously awful cover that I'd see in video stores in the '90s. But I appreciate any pod that devotes a good chunk of time to dunking on Chevy Chase. And they're totally right, stumbling on "Wayne's World" being the rare '90s movies that's almost totally unproblematic.

 

Directed by a woman, too, so probably not a coincidence.

 

Wayne’s World is probably the 2nd best SNL movie. I’d put Blues Brothers at #1 and MacGruber at #3.

 

Man blues brothers does NOTHING for me. And I’m from Chicago! I think it was not seeing it as a kid.

 

yeah Blues Brothers was one of my favorite movies as a preteen/teen

 

Can't wait to hear the reaction for In the Mouth of Madness, watched it for the first time last year and really liked it.

Also, not going to lie I love John Carpenter's Vampires, that was extremely my shit as a 12 year old and have probably seen it a dozen times, excited to hear them shit all over it.

 

I thought ITMoM was pretty damn good

 

David gave Vampires a 4 star review on Letterboxd so not sure that episode will be super negative

 

I…did not like Village of the Damned lol

 

I really really like the first 25 or so minutes until the kids showed up

 

Yeah, actually this. The beginning is very effective, classic Carpenter opening.
