Great podcast. The Benducer tells an insightful joke.

Thanks for the Mrs Harris Goes to Paris recommendation. You all do important work.

Found this show by search for more Kevin Smith content. The insights and perspectives are profound and SO well thought out. Will definitely be listening to more… BUT the comments about Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2 (two of my most beloved films of childhood) have me worried they're going to...Read full review »

I had high hopes for this. So disappointing to find yet another bro-heavy, unfocused, immature, curse words-instead-of-actual-vocabulary level of non-discourse. It’s the Atlantic’s David Sims, for Pete’s sake!!!

The mix of industry insights, thoughtful takes and just pure love of movies shines through every episode. The genuine friendship of the two hosts and their producer adds an additional level of charm. Run, don’t walk to subscribe!

Been listening for a few months now, and just suddenly decided to start over. As in from the very first blank check that is George Lucas . And you know what? These 2 friends have been 5 stars since day 1.

I haven’t been much into the moviegoing experience for quite some time. The FOMO of Avengers: Endgame made me take a day-off from work to see it opening weekend after not seeing anything after GOTG, and then a year later (thanks to Disney+ and COVID lockdown), I spent that time getting caught up...Read full review »

This is the best podcast I listen to by a mile. How? Why? I don’t even LOVE movies. This is the best. WHY? I don’t know it just is!
Happy Runner/Biker via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/02/24
Even though I’m a relatively listener, it was the David Fincher episodes that got me in the door. Great hosts, great guests, and endlessly quotable. This podcast owns bones. Even though the highest rating I can give here is five stars, Blank Check is easily a gentleman’s six.

The Architect: I am the Architect. I created the matrix. I’ve been waiting for you. You have many questions, and although the process has altered your consciousness, you remain irrevocably human. Ergo, some of my answers you will understand, and some of them you will not. Concordantly, while your...Read full review »

Whether you have already watched the movies, are rewatching after a long time, plugging gaps in director filmographies, or using the show as inspiration for what to watch, you will learn a little something while being entertained.
JMO HMS via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/27/24
Knowing there's an episode on a movie has moved me to discover or rewatch the movie before listening. In the past year, I listened to two weeks' worth of this podcast. You might call me a connoisseur of the Connoisseurs of Context. My only gripe is with the episode on Michael Mann's...Read full review »

Change nothing. I love the sporadic bigger name guests, love the in-jokes, love the sometime rambling nature of the discussion, love the circling back to the original point 15 minutes into a digression about something, anything, whatever. I love spending my Sunday mornings listening to a 2-3 hour...Read full review »
SparkleClive-SeventyFive via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/25/24
.just about every episode (including Patreon) since my last review and decided it’s pretty close to being a perfect podcast even despite its few issues. Everyone says “like,” a lot, including guests. Ben being gone as producer is a little detrimental to the show, but having him more involved with...Read full review »

Have a plan! Write a script! … edit? How long do I need to listen to these guys talk about the exciting adventure of making a podcast, before they get to the podcast itself?
andrewdraws via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
The guys REALLY love the sound of their own voices spending what feels like forever talking about so little and progressing nowhere. If you want genuine film exposition or analysis then this podcast is not for you. Sorry.
A Wheelbarrow of Hope via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 02/19/24
100% wired to the same wavelength as my obsessive curio brain. First few seasons can be painful — lots of eating on mic, bits that won’t die (David is from England, Ben has nicknames etc.) — but it has stepped up significantly since then and there’s a lot to love throughout. If you like deep...Read full review »

Love the show. Please don’t let Griffin say the phrase “little stinker” ever again.
JRL19606 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/12/24
Only truly worth listening to for the one time a year that JD Amato comes onto the podcast and tries his best to get the man-children to act like adults and have proper discussions about films. Listening to David squirm at the prospect of opening up and discussing the themes of The Boy and the...Read full review »
CR has good energy tho via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/11/24
I like the show and the guests and it’s super nice to listen to. However it seems every episode yall are spoiling a movie or multiple movies unrelated to the episode. I mean I get it things come up but I’m noticing it’s very frequent. Considering this is a pod for movie lovers that seems in poor...Read full review »

If they are given a blank check to make whatever they want, the check bouncing would mean they couldn't make the film ... not that the film was bad. Does Griffin understand how checks work?Read full review »

I think the Newman guy is funny. I can’t type his first name. Early episodes are brutal on Ben. Glad you have grown up. Great guests!
fdoconnorii via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/19/24
Griffin is so knowledgeable about movies that he’s become my celebrity crush big time. I’ve been watching every movie they cover before listening to the episode and I’m dreading when I will be limited to one per week like everyone else.

Plushest via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/12/24
I love this show. Total cozy-casting. The episodes are often upwards of two to three hours long and I would listen to double that. This is the only show where I don’t skip the ad reads- even those are funny. You’re gonna get well researched fan-takes, you’re gonna get uninformed takes and...Read full review »
GreatShaggu via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/08/24
This is a fun show. David is hilarious and has good chemistry with Griffin. I would prefer that Griffin not begin ~75% of his points with a variation on “It’s the thing where …” (it’s like a vocal tic where he needs to make himself sound authoritative, even if he’s making a highly speculative...Read full review »

Thank you for not replacing you're ads in foreign markets! I recently moved from New Jersey to Australia and many other podcasts have their hosts ads replaced with 1 about audible. They all use the same one!! I love this show and listen to it every week, usually more than once!Read full review »
Frankie Coleman via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 01/07/24
Fantastic podcast, easily 5 stars, but I really can’t believe that the Last Jedi podcast wasn’t a joke. That movie was so bad and they loved it so much, I just kept waiting for them to declare the whole episode as a jokes. It feels like such a non sequitor for all the rest of their episodes and...Read full review »
LubeLover via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/23
When they actually talk about the movie at hand, it’s usually interesting. But they go on so many excruciating tangents and do so many bits that just aren’t that funny, I find myself frequently skipping ahead by 30 seconds in the hope that they eventually get back on track
Not there yet23 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/24/23
I love this pod and frequently follow along with most series. It’s a fantastic listen unless of course J.D or Alex Ross Perry are on. I get that you guys are friends but the amount of in jokes and non sequiturs basically make these episodes unlistenable.
jcstu19 via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 12/16/23
Love this show! Convinces me to watch more and varied movies. My only issue is the episodes are a bit short. I mean… 3 hours for a 3 hour movie, need more analysis and tangents, come on gents!

The overwhelming amount of 5 star ratings should tell you all you need to know. Blank Check is always great. My introduction was the Robocop episode, then I realized they did a whole year of Star Wars - with kind of an insane, hilarious premise. Then they transition to the more structured premise...Read full review »

This podcast should be great. The hosts are knowledgeable, passionate, and have the assistance of a researcher. They present each episode with plenty of fun tangents and anecdotes. But they have no standards at all. They have lots of opinions presented as though facts. Director and actor...Read full review »
