Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 37

Sweet Charity is on something called Broadway HD which has a free trial

My local library has All That Jazz

I cannot imagine listening to this show without watching the movies. It would just wash over me

 

As a relative newcomer to this show: can someone explain to me the whole deal with Ben’s weirdness? In the Spiderman episode he marveled at how big Kingpin is, and I guess I just find his observations more on the irritating side than being offbeat and funny. But I might be missing something.

 

I think he just likes weird stuff. I started listening a couple of years ago, and have listened to a lot of the early episodes, and that’s pretty much it

 

Got it. I guess I just kind of find him irritating, but whatever. I still like the cast.

 

Ben’s our finest film critic. Basically, his whole thing is that he doesn’t have the encyclopedia knowledge of film history that griffin or David do. He grew up watching movies like Joe Dirt on a porch in New Jersey. He chimes in with simple but hilarious takes to counter all the super nerdy details David & Griff go into. An essential element to why this show works.

I highly recommend listening to the Kiki’s Delivery Service episode where they discuss how much Ben cried his eyes out to that movie

 

Just signed up for my metro library, gonna see what I can find. Thanks for the suggestion!

 

Looks like all that jazz is on roku for some reason, it's a fun little puzzle finding old movies
Roku

 

Damn the guest really has knives out for DMTH

 

My (Partial) Sam Raimi Ranking

I didn't watch Crimewave (seemed like a mess) or For Love Of The Game (seemed like a snore)

1. Spider-Man 2
2. Spider-Man
3. Doctor Strange In The Multiverse of Madness
4. The Quick And The Dead
5. The Evil Dead
6. Drag Me To Hell
7. The Gift
8. Evil Dead 2
9. A Simple Plan
10. Spider-Man 3
11. Army of Darkness
12. Darkman
13. Oz The Great & Powerful

 

For the Love of the Game is worth watching all the baseball scenes. Fast forward through it every single time it cuts away from the game. That's when it's soooo boring lol

Anyway this is where I'm at. I also skipped Crimewave & The Gift

1. Evil Dead 2
2. Spider-Man 2
3. Spider-Man
4. The Quick and the Dead
5. The Evil Dead
6. A Simple Plan
7. Army of Darkness
8. Drag Me to Hell
9. Darkman
10. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness
11. Spider-Man 3
12. For the Love of the Game
13. Oz: The Great & Powerful

 

I thought about putting Dr Strange 1 or 2 spots lower because it's really half a Raimi movie, but I did enjoy it a lot so idk

 

yea i really didn't like it at all as a movie but did enjoy some of the Raimi things in it.

 

I watched it last night and thats pretty much where I'm at

 

I’m only 30 minutes into Sweet Charity, but this FUCKING RULES holy shit

I was sold the second Charity’s “fiancé” pushed her off the bridge

 

Just bought All That Jazz from the criterion flash sale at Barnes & Noble

 

All That Jazz got added to Tubi for this month!

 

I got about an hour into Sweet Charity and was having a great time. Gonna finish it tomorrow morning.

 

Did not enjoy Cabaret at all

 

Rachel Ziegler has to be in the running for one of the biggest gets the show has ever had right?

 

Rachel rules so much

 

Now I’m wondering, if it’s not her. Who is it?

Are the McElroy’s more famous than Kevin Smith? Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas? Scott Aukerman? Nicole Byer? I’m sure there’s a bunch I’m missing.

 

Lulu Wang and Nia DiCosta too

Yeah, Rachel has got to be the most famous guest.

 

Rachel was a great guest for that. She had a nice rapport with all of them. Hope she comes back.

 

Have you seen her in GLTS? i think her and Griffin are good friends

 

Yes indeed! She's a total charmer on those eps. I love the video of her singing Rey's Theme.
