Blank Check with Griffin and David Blank Check with Griffin and David Don't know what to say or to expect All you need to know is that the name of the show is Blank Check Hey, guess what?
Podcasts? I recorded one.
And it was three and a half hours long. Three and a half hours long?
Yep.
Oh, because Sandy Plankton said they only run two hours tops. Sandy Plankton? You think I would do an entire podcast and not know as much as Sandy Plankton?
It was three and a half hours, not two.
Very good. So it's the end of the movie. Yeah, it's one of the last lines.
One of the emotional lines. It does make me cry too. There's like five different moments in this film that at very least get me right up onto the edge. On the brink of the tears. To me, the big moment is just Crash seeing his age.
That's the moment that gets me. That's the one? Yes. Interesting. Beautiful moment. It's so beautiful.
This movie is just filled with these little grace notes that are, I just think, so elegant, that are funny and charming and don't feel like they're hitting too hard. Agree. It is, in my opinion... This is like one of those movies that should be taught in every kind of like conventional Hollywood. Sort of storytelling lab or whatever. Yeah, because it's just, it is an incredible setup payoff movie.
Another thing that's filled with grace notes is the notebook of the character, the main character from Project Hail Mary.
Oh, because his name is Ryland Grace. I think there's not enough discussion of the fact that Ryan Gosling plays Ryland Grace. Ryland Grace. Because it's Hail Mary Full of Grace, I believe is the... No. Jesus Christ.
I think that's what Andy Weir, who's, in my opinion, a master of subtlety, is going for there.
I enjoy that movie greatly. And I think I'm now forced by law to knock it down a star now that you've explained that to me.
I mean, it's just my read on it. I mean, look, why is it called Tinder? Why is it called Tinder? Because you get matches. And it's one of those things that I tell people all the time and they're like, that can't be true. And I'm like, that's literally why it's called that.
That's why they came up with that name in 2012. I am required by law to go onto the App Store and knock Tinder down a star as well.
How do emotional moments in Finding Nemo resonate with viewers?
Because famously you rated it five stars in the App Store.
Perfect app. Only good things have ever come of it. uh in my mind there are only a few perfect apps facebook twitter x but yeah yes truth social well i truth social very good i count twitter and x as two separate apps and both of them get five stars for me right it's terminator versus terminator 2 right x i wish i could give it six stars that's because they improved on perfection they did um i'm just saying that to invoke another albert brooks film yeah everyone made a fucking meal out of you're telling me Emma Mackey is Ella McKay we've gone too far no one's saying really in this day and age in this economy Ryan Gosling is Ryland Grace Ryland Grace oh you can't spell one without the other they're just very similar
What's the, um, oh, Rocky. The rock character's called Rocky.
Yeah. One of our biggest movie stars, I would say now. He's maybe top ten, Ren track. What was Tony Erdman called?
What was Tony Erdman called? Sandra Huller. You know, it'd be funny if she was just called Tony Erdman. I know that's not her name in that movie either.
Yeah, it's the dad's character's name. I know. What's her name in the movie?
It'd be funny if she was just like, hello, I'm Tony Erdman. I run space over here.
Sandy Heller? Yeah. I do think now we need to have her singing in every movie.
I agree. Look, I mean, I assumed that was a reference to, you know, to Tony Erdman, right? That's Lorda Miller being cute, having her do karaoke. And I thought that was fun.
And also being like, hey, you know, she does this in a movie. It kind of like knocks everyone's socks off. That's an effective move that we've identified that 99% of the audience won't have seen. Like we all sit there patting ourselves on the back going like, oh, interesting Tony Erdman reference.
