I'm giving up the French.

This is a podcast about filmographies, directors who have... Directors.

This is the worst episode we've ever done.

This is a podcast about filmography's directors who have massive success early on in their careers and are given a series of blank checks to make whatever crazy passion projects they want.

And sometimes those checks clear, and sometimes those checks get interviewed by the immigration agencies.

Baby.

Yes.

Today, we are talking about a motion picture called Green Card.

It is written, directed, and produced by Peter Weir.

Uh, yep.

I believe it's got a big hunking fucking final opening credit card.

It's a flex.

And this is kind of his first, in a way, this is his first American blank check.

He basically says that he took Witness to figure out how to break through to Hollywood, that this was the dream, his passion project at this moment that he really wanted to make, and the success of Witness granted him

and certainly dead poets as well, granted him the freedom to make this.

He's like, I really liked this script and I want to make it.

Which I think is correct because it's a great film.

But he's just taken like two assignment jobs.

Well and witness.

So really three.
