Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 58

i actually think them doing pods on them would be kinda novel. they're obviously massive movies but they came out so long ago at this point, I can't think of too many Jackson convos at least from major movie pods

 

The Hobbits are way more interesting as commentaries than main feed eps imo

 

ooo i agree with that

 

The Hobbit trilogy could be one episode for the one movie it should have been.

 

Jackson should direct another narrative feature film. And when that happens, that’s when they should cover him.

 

i would actually love them discussing get back too lol but they should just cover him outside of march madness at some point. going off the show’s original premise, there are few recent directors who have gotten a true blank check the way he has

 

I do feel like his recent documentary work is important enough for his filmography to be covered on main feed

 

Mortal Engines patreon too - their fascination with that was a fun bit for a long time.

 

Weir is actually gonna put up a good fight today.... vote Coens

 

There are 5 of theirs I haven’t seen

 

11 for me. I've got some catching up to do.

 

need to see:

miller's crossing
barton fink
hudsucker proxy
the man who wasn't there
intolerably cruelty
the ladykillers (i think i've seen part of this when I was a teenager)
hail caesar
buster scruggs

so 1/2

 

Raising Arizona
Miller’s Crossing
Barton Fink
The Hudsucker Proxy
The Man Who Wasn’t There
intolerable Cruelty

so six actually, I lied.

 

After Early Spielberg i think we are getting Amy Heckerling and then diving into Coens in July. Also, catch up episodes for Mission Impossible - The Final Reckoning and 28 Years Later (Boyle)

 

so glad they won

 

should have been Michael Bay you cowards

 

They really need to do Bay someday. But no way will he ever win MM

 

they said on the patreon that the next director covered main feed would be a female director who has been in the tournament before

 

Soggy said Amy Heckerling

 

interesting

 

David's been vouching for Heckerling for a long time. I really am not familiar with her movies outside of Fast Times and Clueless so we'll see. But could be fun

 

I hope the “Loser” episode is just a breakdown of “Teenage Dirtbag.”
