Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 47

Yeah I love lynch and give me an excuse to chase down the two movies I haven’t seen. Also I still need to catch season 3.

 

The Lynch mini is going to be wild

 

i’m interested in a few of his movies but such a disappointing outcome with linklater and spike coming so close

 

They just need to do them. Lynch, Link and Spike were my top 3

 

I voted against all of them last round lol

At least this means they cover Dune

 

“Thomas Crown Affair” is a unexpectedly kind of weird movie.

Also, I go back and forth with Amanda Dobbins. There’s parts of this ep where’s she really and others where I just want to be like “Please don’t yell into the mic.” I guess this also applies to like 75% of The Ringer staff.

 

dobbins fully rocks, love her

Had only seen Perfect Blue before hearing the rumblings of this mini series but man these absolutely rip.

 

I've seen Millennium Actress, but it was a really long time ago and I'll definitely be revisiting along with watching the rest for the first time.

 

Ayo guesting on the Paprika episode or just staying caught up?

According to letterboxd, David and Griffin watched it back in April 1st and 2nd.

 

I'm listening to the Medicine Man episode and David makes the comment "I understand most of our listeners are not going to watch this movie"

Do people actually do that? Listen to the show without watching the movie? I don't see how that would be enjoyable.

On the other hand, trying to watch all the movies is the reason I can't keep up with this show

 

I have a friend who doesn't watch every movie, but listens to every episode. I can't do it, so there will be whole miniseries that I skip. But I love when my girlfriend randomly picks a movie that they've covered and I then get to go back and listen to the episode.

 

I skipped Medicine Man and listened to the episode lol

 

yeah I'll usually at worst read a plot synopsis if I'm not gonna watch the movie

 

or try to find scenes on youtube

 

Yeah I've listened to plenty of episodes without watching the film, it's not that hard to follow

 

I have zero interest in listening to a blank check episode on a movie I haven’t seen.

In the past I have listened without watching for a show like we hate movies because they basically go through the plot linearly, but I don’t know that I would do that today.

I feel like Griff and David jump around too much to listen for something I haven’t seen.

Also making myself watch the whole series is to me the whole fun of it, and why I’ll more or less nope out of a series completely if I have too much difficulty finding the majority of the movies.

 

Going through the back catalog, I'm only watching movies I'm interested in but still listening to every episode. I think they do a fairly good job making most episodes interesting even if it's a movie I haven't seen.

For new episodes, I'll at least try to watch pretty much everything I haven't seen before. DNF'd Medicine Man and didn't even try Rollerball though, and I have no interest in TMNT movies, but I'm still listening to every episode of those series.

For new theatrical releases, I'll save the episode until I actually see the movie (same thing I do with The Big Picture).

 

Secret of the ooze is a masterpiece. Idk how people aren’t interested in watching it

 

I’m a casual listener and will just randomly go back and download episodes with movies I enjoy. Can’t imagine listening to an episode about a movie I haven’t watched.

 

If I’m invested in the director they’re talking about, I’ll listen to eps of movies I haven’t seen. I really enjoyed the McTiernan series, but there’s no way I’m throwing on “Medicine Man” or “Rollerball.” I’ll get the jist from the conversation.

 

It's been a long time since I've seen Requiem For A Dream and it's not exactly something I want to go back to. What did it take from Perfect Blue?

 

Aronofsky recreated the "screaming in a bathtub" scene from Perfect Blue shot for shot

 

I rewatched the Last Drive-in episode for Perfect Blue and Joe Bob also made the connection to Selena. It's crazy how much it fits
