Blank Check with Griffin and David Podcast • Page 77

that's why it IS good

 

I disagree!!

 

I actually got into the show in 2016 (damn really has been a decade of dreams for me) and felt very seen listening to the Speed Racer episode during the initial Wachowskis series. Had not heard a passionate defense of that movie yet (now it’s growing widely more accepted but then not so much)

 

Watched the first five minutes of ratcatcher and absolutely fucking not

liked Kevin and die my love so I’ll continue with the mini but come on

 

Really baffled by their reading of some important parts of the movie.

 

I agree

 

I think “You Were Never Really Here” and “Die My Love” are great. Didn’t care for Ratcatcher

 

yeah what are they talking about

 

completely ignoring the sexual assault is wild

 

that’s the part I just got to and I’m legit confused how they say that’s not what’s happening

 

I think the only way they could possibly have fucked up that badly is because they saw the movie when they were 13 and didn’t quite register what was happening and ever since then that was their take, and maybe this rewatch wasn’t the most attentive. It’s actually insane they could misinterpret that

 

I also don’t think the ending is anywhere near as ambiguous as they were framing it to be. A pretty straightforward downer ending!

 

And them saying the movie wasn’t really about the kid that died at the beginning. The main kid was clearly dealing with that the entire film!

 

I love that Wiger’s Letterboxd is mostly him being horny for Varang.

 

Morvern Callar - also not for me!

 

Debating whether to even watch it or not.

 

It’s not as bleak as Ratcatcher, just feels a little rambly/loose I think

 

First half is dark as hell

 

With all that’s going on, I just don’t feel the urge to wallow deeper in misery. Griffin is on this week’s Scott Hasn’t Seen talking Night at the Roxbury for 2 1/2 hours. Feel like that fills the hole.

 

Decided I’m skipping this mini. Just can’t handle it rn. Excited for weir though.

 

I might listen to the eps for the movies I’ve seen but don’t think I’m gonna watch/listen to the ones I haven’t.

 

I need to give this another shot. David drove me crazy on the E.T. episode to the point where I had to turn it off, but given what they cover, I need to try.

 

Really liked Morvern Callar after not vibing with Ratcatcher.

 

I may have been too harsh on it after some reflection
