Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 53

At one point in this ep Ben says “I know we’re going long” and there’s still an hour left, it rules

 

Instead of taking a break from the show I just listen to the episodes in hour long chunks. I can’t do 3 hours straight anymore.

 

Weak

 

I need griffin in smaller doses

 

His Doughboys ep was great

 

I love the show, but this is how I feel, too. He has fun analysis, but man he is a lot.

 

HOOK rules

 

LFG

 

I get so excited for March madness and then spend the whole month mad at everyone.

see also: PTR Club 3 poll every month.

 

Seeing that they did The Sweatbox makes me want to sub to club 3

 

BTW this is who is probably on this bracket holy shit:

Richard Linklater
Terrance Malick
Guilhermo Del Toro
Prince
Coens
Barry Sonnefeld
Charlie Chaplin
Fritz Lang
David Cronenberg
Michael Bay
70s Altman
Sofia Coppola
Edgar Wright
Francis Ford Coppola
Spike Lee
PTA
Bong Joon-Ho
Ridley Scott
Peter Jackson
Gore Verbinski
Alfonso Cauron
Mel Brooks
Peter Weir
Wong Kar Wai
Steven Soderbergh
Denis Villeueve
David Lean
Spike Jonze
Todd Haynes
Baz Luhrman
Ernest Dickerson

 

It’s tough but I think I want PTA

 

PTA
Coens
Verbinski
Weir
Denis

probably my top choices

 

At the same time, if they want me to sign up for the patreon, an episode on Everybody’s Free (To Wear Sunscreen) during a Baz run would make me hand over my wallet.

 

i want linklater bc the variety

 

Where do I vote

 

Linklater, PTA, Bay, Cronenberg, Coens are my 5.

FFC, Jackson, Villenuve, Weir and 70s Altman are ones I think they will get to on their own one day

 

You don’t think they’d ever get to your picks?

 

Not til March 1st on their website

 

Who knows! The ones I mentioned they would do feel like ones they have personal connections to (David’s love of Weir, Griffin’s family history with Altman) or are big studio guys that can easily get listeners (Jackson, Villenuve)

And voting will be every day in march on blankcheckpod.com

 

I think Bay and Peter Jackson have always felt unlikely because of the franchises they’d cover/would feel repetitive

 

Verbinski has felt unlikely too since they’d cover 5 Depp films in a row
