Blank Check with Griffin & David Trailer

Blank Check is a podcast about filmographies - specifically, the filmographies of directors who've achieved massive success early on, and then were given a series of "blank checks" by the Hollywood establishment to make whatever crazy passion projects they wanted. Sometimes those checks clear (think James Cameron and "Avatar"), and sometimes they bounce, baby (like M. Night Shyamalan's "Lady in the Water"). Join hosts Griffin Newman and David Sims each week as they trace the arcs of the most intriguing directorial careers with hilarious guests and a wealth of inside knowledge. You'll never watch movies the same way again. Join our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes. Follow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X!

I rarely find podcasts about movies much more nerdy (knowledgable) than myself, but this one is miles above others. And it’s hilarious. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor…

Yes, sir, I’m fascinated by the choices our boys made to add to your incredible movie collection. My deepest regret is that talk felt the need to actually cover the movie that the show is about, and it’s a movie I’ve deeply loved since I saw it in Harvard Square the year it was released.
