“John Wick has ruined roommates’ lives” 🤴

David is so boring. Low energy. A hungry boy.

David, don't interrupt Griff when he is about to supply us with content we want.

Re PKD films, if you get a chance watch Barjo, a French 90s film that adapts one of Dick’s best non-SF novels, Confessions of a Crap Artist.

The guy coming at 11pm before going to the club is spot on you guys are just nerds

Chris Mendoza

Ones a Sudafed. Ones a NyQuil. 😂😂

Shania Twain update: I’m at a baseball game and they’re playing Man I Feel Like a Woman between innings, and this song now instantly makes me think of Blank Check

Sarah Farrell

Millenium had far more than two bangers THNX

Anthony Simon

For a particularly bleak five year period on the trans scene, Shania Twain was the only music we were allowed to listen to. Going out entailed having to endure’Man I Feel Like A Woman’ on an infernal endless loop, like being subjected to an aural version of the Ludovico Technique. I had just stepped out of the closet and that cursed song was forcing me back in there. Luckily I found a club that promised to never play that song and eventually the Grand High Trans Council decreed that it was okay for us to listen to other music.

Lilly drops some lowkey Follow The White Rabbit context in Disclosure

When David said “there is no shit,” I farted

Any plans to cover or address the matrix online advertising components? They had a full “immersive experience” back in the day where you had to do some mild puzzle solving to open up short stories and comics that were set in universe (some questionably so Neil Gaiman did not get the assignment). I think these were collected at some point but I don’t know where. I was really into them and some of them had fascinating lore.

I used to DJ at a club called Neo in Chicago that I'm pretty sure was inspiration for the name Neo, AND the club they go to in the film. Picking up a hard drive/usb/minidisc is 100 percent something that could happen before going there.

I demand some Enter the Matrix context! Ya'll can't avoid it forever!

Michael Hashizume

I don't know how you put this together or where you got it, but thank you for posting this!

There are lots of things the pandemic took from us. Add "Producer Ben as a pirate in David Lowery's Peter Pan" to the list :(

Kevin Durr

More food talk, more eating on mic.

Ian Smart

Every episode there’s a moment Ben is about to go on a run and one of the boys interrupts him an stops his flow. I’m always bummed too. I really wanted to hear Ben’s take on JUVENILE.

Data Janitor

David points out that the agents carry Desert Eagles. That gun made it's movie debut in Commando staring Arnold Schwarzenegger playing the character John MATRIX!

William Evans

I feel like them mentioning Ben could’ve been in Lowery’s PETER PAN is an implication that he is in it - some Andrew Garfield styled “I’m telling you I’m not in it” mind manipulation/offering-knowledge-without-prompt stuff going on here!!!

SMOOTH

Jenny Potter

The unacknowledged “she can weld me anytime” 😂

Stephen Parker

The boys talking about Smooth by Rob Thomas and Santana and calling it “Supernatural” the whole time: this is the content I’ve been craving.

Shane Warbrooke

Anthony Ray Parker chat: both before and, insanely, AFTER the matrix, he was co-host of a tiny New Zealand reality show called Guess Who's Coming To Dinner. The show basically involved a few z list celebrities turning up at a normies house and eating dinner. The best part is he wasn't even the main host, he was the co host. The main host was Suzanne Paul who is an insane character. Basically imagine if the person who started the home shopping network also hosted it and became a massive celebrity by turning themselves into a living meme.

Anthony Regina

Truly living in 1999!

Mrshieldsy

The gift!? Excited for the Joel Edgerton miniseries next!

Infinite Terror

Keanu is awesome in The Gift. Such a wild movie.

Nate Shu

Watched along on my old paper DVD case copy for nostalgia's sake

Ian Smart

The ADJUSTMENT BUREAU rules.

Robert Denby

I put together the trailers and ads that likely would've run in front of this movie back in 1999. Here for whoever wants 'em. https://www.dropbox.com/s/xan35fqvjykmq4w/March%2031%2C%201999%20trailer%20reel.mp4?dl=0

Bryan Cohoon

Smooth?

John Blood

John Wick series please.

Anthony Regina

My favorite thing about David is how he fully dismisses a rant or tangent about a thing that’s kind of a bring down or about toxic discourse related to movies. King.

Kyle Lark

I’ve seen the matrix more than any other movie in the past year and I am so ready to watch it again

Jim Portant

Hot take: the Matrix is real real good

Christina Lohr

Fun fact: Keanu very much did shave all his body hair, including his eyebrows. There are off-set pictures from around that time which prove it. (Ngl, glad he kept the brows for Resurrections.)

John Blood

The story boards were done by Steve Skroce.

Anthony Regina

I’m so grateful for the Blank Check boys to make me re-evaluate how much I love The Matrix. Also, I just preordered the four film collection within minutes.
