Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 63

yeah. the whole superman mini series has been. it isn't a director series.

 

Well that’s dumb and stupid

 

i mean, it would be completely different than the entire history of the show if they did just a random one off episode for a new movie from a director they've never covered

they did like the entire MCU on the patreon. they do most stuff like this there.

 

Yeah but I didn’t realize they were doing a Superman series on Patreon so it’s dumb and stupid

 

david is so grumpy lol, griffin telling this lovely story about how it lined up getting hodgeman on this pod and he’s just scrooge mcducking it up

 

Giffin is such a strange host because I love the podcast, but I feel like if I knew Griffin in real life, he’d be insufferable.

 

i disagree. he can annoy me on the pod but i feel like he’d be relatively chill/normal irl. most podcasters are a heightened version of themselves on mic lol.

 

Ari Aster! Holy shit! What a get

 

pretty cool

 

I'm through Fargo on my Coens rewatch, and having a blast.

 

gonna try to find time this weekend despite moving to do barton fink

 

Been enjoying the run so far. Watched Arizona, Miller and Barton for the first time.

 

saw griffin IRL at the scott pilgrim comic con panel. Idk if he hosted any other panels, or what he was doing at sdcc

 

He dressed up as Wile E Coyote at the Coyote V Acme panel

 

Barton Fink episode is really great

 

David's reactions to Griffin explaining the old Hollywood studio system are so good.

 

Just got there in the episode and it’s so funny

 

what's the timecode

 

like an hour and 39 minutes in

 

Barton Fink was one of the films I watched in my very first high school film studies class, so I have such a soft spot for it. Excited to dive into the episode.

 

Didn’t love the hudsucker proxy. My least favorite Coen bros movie but I still have 2 or 3 I haven’t seen.

 

Hudsucker was a blind spot for me as well, but I really loved it. Excited to hear Griffin lay out the case for why it’s his favorite.

 

Really liked Hudsucker but its not like a top 5 Coens for me. I saw a letterboxd review that said something along the lines of "the closest we ever got to a live action Simpsons episode." Checks out its one of Griffin's all timers

 

That’s part of my issue with it. It’s a 30 minute premise stretched out to 2 hours.
