Not just another bad movie podcast, Blank Check reviews directors’ complete filmographies episode to episode. Specifically, the auteurs whose early successes afforded them the rare ‘blank check’ from Hollywood to produce passion projects. Each new miniseries, hosts Griffin Newman and David Sims delve into the works of film’s most outsized personalities in painstakingly hilarious detail. Produced by Ben Hosley.
Peter Weir’s follow up to Picnic at Hanging Rock – 1978’s The Last Wave – deals with similar themes, with colonialism butting against the wild mysticism of Australia’s land and people. However, this time…it’s WET AS HELL. BenDavid Grabinski – the filmmaker behind the upcoming Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice – joins us to talk about this beguiling film, apocalyptic thinking, Richard Chamberlain’s status as the king of TV miniseries, and Tom Shadyac’s Dragonfly, weirdly enough.
