TRAILER

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!

Mulholland Drive Was Worth Waiting For

I’ve subscribed to Blank Check for about five years now and have really grown to love the show. When Griffin and David announced that they were doing “David Lynch” I patiently waited for them to get to my favorite film of all time. And it was WELL worth the wait. Three hours and 45 minutes zipped by. The conversation was deep, knowledgeable, and fun. It wasn’t tied up in a tidy bow, but that would be inappropriate for this film. Great job, boys!! Glad you had the stamina to do this!!
A great, but highly specific podcast

Listen, you gotta be real into movies, and real into basically just listening to 2 guys talk for a few hours. If that’s your jam, welcome home. If not, you’ll hate it. I just happen to like this sorta thing.
