Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 62

Exciting that the rest of the year is all Coens (+ a few new releases)

 

Excited to start this. Really enjoyed the Heckerling series because she has such a unique career of two iconic classics, a megahit and some truly dreary misfires.

 

I’m excited cause there’s a surprising number of theirs I haven’t seen plus so many classics.

 

I’ve seen almost all of them, but it’s been 15 years for the majority. Should be fun to revisit. I remembered almost nothing about Blood Simple.

 

About to start Blood Simple

 

man who wasn't there is the only I haven't seen

 

I think Hudsucker is the only one I haven’t seen.

 

I think I have like 5 or 6. Gonna watch Raising Arizona tonight.

 

I have 10 to see including Honey Don’t, and I’m planning to rewatch O Brother and No Country before those episodes.

 

Need to see:
Millers Crossing
Hudsucker
Ladykillers
Man Who Wasn’t There
Intolerable Cruelty
Tragedy of Macbeth
Honey, Don’t


Millers and Hudsucker feel like pretty glaring omissions so I’ll def be watching those asap

 

I thought I had a lot more gaps than I do. Only haven’t seen Ladykillers, Intolerable Cruelty, and The Man Who Wasn’t There

 

ladykillers is one of the first viewing experiences i can remember from directors i love and just thinking it absolutely sucked. haven’t revisited since then.

 

rewatched raising arizona tonight and loved it even more than the last time. excited for the episode and to see who the guest is

 

It’s me

 

Thought raising Arizona was fine

 

I remember thinking the Marlon Wayans character was insufferable. He just rambles an endless amount of profanity.

 

the hardest i laughed during Raising Arizona is when Hi is fighting John Goodman's character, he raises his hands over his head to hit John and scrapes his knuckles on the popcorn ceiling and just screams in agony

 

i forget the line even but goodman makes a face early on that had me cracking up

 

was the "escape from prison in the rain" thing like, an established trope? i feel like Shawshank is the most well known example of that but came later obviously

 

Been over a decade since I watched Raising Arizona and damn I should rewatch it more often

 

When does the comic series start on patreon?

 

august 1

 

I agree with David, shut up Griffin and John

 

i like judge john hodgman

 

I do sometimes but him and griffin are annoying the first hour or so. Also the Superman 2025 ep is only on patreon??
