Pauley Shore is my deep dark formerly secret dream.

This is my first march as a check mate... Excited! đ
Laura A
God I need a Todd Haynes or Nicole Holofcener series. Do one for the girls and gays.
Melissa Kelly
Me too!
Billnetherlands
Nailed the John Tesh theme song.
Jon Demse
They mentioned Clue and The Rocketeer and my 9 year old self wept with joy
Matthew Park
I guess I heard it, I just didn't listen.
Blank Check with Griffin & David
It is!
Matthew Park
Tabletop Games ISN'T including Clue??????? I guess I'm voting for Jumanji then.
Harry Mitchell
As a Glasgow listener, deeply moved by the representation in this episode
Ballytotalfit
That Happy Madison lineup is insanely funny. Very conflicted about whether I want that or bee movie more
Douglas Wykstra
That would be a good way to cover another L*ndis film without actually having to devote a series to him.
Douglas Wykstra
It's great to hear that Griffin shares my enthusiasm for a Curtis Hanson series. Podcast Boys 2024!
Omeed
Thank you!
Blank Check with Griffin & David
Kingdom of Heaven (Ridleyâs Version)
Omeed
Did they say where Ridley Scott Part 1 ends? I missed it
Nicole Journal
Thanks friends! No need for a VPN (despite the stellar ad reads), just want to be a rule follower.

Nicole Paschen
yes one vote per Patreon account, and they limit the votes on the main site by IP address. For the main site, this means if you have access to a VPN I think multiple votes is possible.
Matt
Denis Villeneuve will take the crown.
Joe Miller
Confirmed
Nicole Paschen
DAVID IS RIGHT ABOUT TWIN PEAKS!
Nicole Journal
When I first voted I assumed it was American Idol rules, because multiple votes were possible. But now I believe it's one Blankie/Checkmate, one vote. Can folks confirm?
Bern Roche Farrelly
I am staring now and early - SPIKE LEE for the win!

I never stop thinking about this absolutely wild David voice, a line delivery never heard before or since, when they were talking about Hitchcock on the 20th Century bracket and he says âhEaRd of HIMMMM? motherFuCKâŹR???â
Rad Rodge
The March Madness previews are always some of my favorite episodes of the year for this exact reason
Begemott
Hell yes, great bracket this year, and I always love episodes where you guys are extremely sober, normal, and level-headed, like this one.
theintention
Yes hello new merch when, need to rep the podcast please and ty!
Ancient alien
Omg those Patron movies sound so fun!!! I canât wait! I havenât watched the first Jumanji in over 10 years! The cartoon stand up comedian series sounds amazing! Also canât wait for American Pie movies! So nostalgic so wrong so good? đđ
Jenny Potter
Davidâs March madness energy is beautiful
CT
It just is. 2049 made me truly realize what the original was going for, only realized more fully.
CT
Linklater for main, TNG for Patreon. Star Trek especially opens a fascinating door into the wild careers of Stewart, Frakes, and Burton (not to mention Whoopi!)
Rad Rodge
Is Michael Green a genius? Very hard to tell hahaha, this is something I want a Villeneuve series in order to explore
Rad Rodge
I donât think anyone besides Kubrick could beat Lynch on any March Madness bracket, but I will be a happy warrior for many potential Cinderellas and Gonzagas who are about to go down to somewhat frustratingly predictable defeat
Rita Jefferson
Pacino With Even More Wigs as a series is a perfect idea. Insane, but inspired
Harry Russ
Team Ernest unite.
Rad Rodge
This at least is my hypothesis about Blankie demographics
Rad Rodge
I think the only really clear-cut example is Kubrick, but I think Lynch is *much more* of a favorite than Kubrick to the point of it being suboptimal to have Lynch on any bracket haha
Rad Rodge
There are dozens of us, dozens
Lobo
my question is would they also cover the Twin Peaks Darkwing Duck episode? đ
Isaiah Bornman
Does 'New Blood' apply to New Guests too?!
Samuel Ramos

Matt Rombach
If Barker wins, donât forget to ride the Midnight Meat Train.
MonoStereoVideo
Canât wait to see who wins! Lynch ahh man!! Todd Haynes and VELVET GOLDMINE!! My pod is gonna do an episode on that this year! Luca, my pod also covered Bones and All and we just adore that film! Rooting for Lynch/Haynes/Luca but will be happy with anyone on this bracket!
Mac Pohanka
You people
Joel Orr

Anna Coote
Out of the 6 main feed and 6 Patreon brackets, how many times has one of the favourites one? Iâm drawing a blank
Zachary Stein
Ernest needs to happen
Joel Barber
Damn I really thought we were going to get Ice Cube movies against Clive Barker movies
Zak Goldberger
Honestly - more the former, though I have attempted Twin Peaks in the past and just accepted it wasnât working for me at the time and Iâd get to it again some day. I donât think this podcast is the best format for covering larger format shows, with a few exceptions (if they do Satoshi Kon one day, for instance, his show is short enough and his filmography is sparse enough that it would make sense to program Paranoia Agent in there). David Lynch already has such a totemic filmography without including twin peaks and even so, you already have a built in avenue to talk about it with FWWM. If it was just like, the pilot on patreon id be more into it, but tbh, I was probably never gonna vote for Lynch anyways, I like him but I donât need a blank check miniseries on him - them doubling down on twin peaks only makes him less appealing to me for coverage!
Tom Blake
Are you against BC covering TV shows in general or is it just Twin Peaks that doesnât appeal to you?
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
I CANNOT wait for CĂ©line Sciamma's Plaxmol
Chauncey Telese
Wait if Pauly Shore wins you WONT so Pauly Shore is dead?!
Trevor Talley
TNG TNG TNG
Sarah Gifford
Covering Dredd in the Garland mini-series guarantees I'm going to be so sad to see him lose. đą
ediblegenius
Oh man, so many good ones, going to be a great march madness. If tabletop games means Clue and the new DnD movie thatd be awesome
Dylan Weaver
Pretty sure Chip Smith wanted to book Imagine Dragons for the Sphere
BestowalDonkey8
Iâm all in on Cube.
Anthony J Santella
Would you consider starting a Harold Ramis miniseries with Animal House like how the Ephron miniseries started with When Harry Met Sally?
Deven KB
Oz/Henson series sounds fuuuuuun! And Iâm with ya, Marie: Villenueveâs Blade Runner > Ridleyâs Blade Runner
Holly Catlin-Meyer
Todd Haynes đâŠmy sole low-effort contribution to the spirited campaigning. âșïž
Tom
King Arthur special features: Excalibur!!!
Stephan Krosecz
I'm usually very quiet as a patron, but I must speak up to say I enjoy Marie's candor
Tobey
If a push notification on your phone makes you smile⊠it might be time for Blank Check March Madness!
Jon Ryves
Are we able to get Galaxy Quest tacked on the Star Trek TNGs? As it got missed from the TOS mini series
Curry Chandler
This is my first time being caught up with BC for real-time March Madness, and I am hype
Kyle Faber
Is Star Trek meant to be Kelvin? TNG was on last year.
Glenn Ponka
Next Gen! Wooo! Data!
Tom
Marie is Sassy AF. đȘ
Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat
My time has come
Josh Harvey
Stoked! Will the X-men universe ever get covered? Or is Singer too radioactive?
Zak Goldberger
âDonât worry, we will cover Twin Peaksâ My worry was that you would!!!! Anyways sealed my vote for Bill Duke, letâs go!
Nick DâAlessandro
The dejected âAlrightâ after Chip Smithâs failed ChatGPT joke added years to my life.
Angelica Mullins
So excited to participate in my first BC March Madness!
Lev
I knew Chip Smith was involved with the Glasgow Wonka event.
Anthony Oleszkiewicz
Linklater ftw, and on Patreon let's get those TNG movies done! Star Trek!
Patrick Donges
Happy Madison commentaries would be fire.
Deren Ney
Excellent choices. Really we canât lose.
Alex Simpson
