2022 MARCH MADNESS PREVIEW
🕑 Added 2022-02-26 02:08:28 +0000 UTCLet’s get ready to rrrruuuummmbbbblllllleeeeee!
Join us for a special preview episode of this year’s March Madness tournament where we answer all of your burning questions - How are we dividing up Hitchcock’s filmography? Which series would Griffin and David’s parents want to guest on? Which Halloween movies would we cover as part of that franchise? Would we do a 9-hour commentary for “Get Back” as part of a Beatles series? Will David make it to his preview screening of “The Batman” on time?
A quick housekeeping note - as Chip Smith owns the rights to the entire 20th Century, our March Madness recap episodes going forward will be under his purview. We’re not really sure what to expect, but we can assure you that shit will get weird.

With the Rocky love talk and specifically Rocky IV - would love some Blankies to dive into "FINDING DRAGO" a wonderful Dead Eyes/Mystery Show style sleuthing into a fun fan fiction aspect of that movie. Highly recommend
Daniel Ketchum
They specifically only selected directors for the bracket that only have 0 or 1 films that came out in the 21st century
Alfio
So many amazing options, but have to be a spoiled fan and ask…why no Cronenberg!?!?
Joshua Inman
It's blankcheckpod.com, but I think it only goes live at 10am
Shane Wheel
I can’t find a link to the website to vote???!!
Chris Fyvie
Really exciting brackets. 🙌❤️ Worth a mention that The Archers is pretty confusing for folks in the UK… they’re almost always referred to as Powell & Pressberger because The Archers is a radio drama that’s been on since the 50s and is a national institution. I don’t think there’s anyone on the podcast who could possibly know that.

Voting starts March 1st at https://www.blankcheckpod.com

Noah Ontiveros
Early Spielberg gonna win… I like Ida

For anyone interested this gives a decent idea of Andrei Tarkovsky's style, kind of like a Russian David Lynch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ak6rI-j07QU&t=82s

Wow, what a bracket! Tarkovsky won't win but I'd love to see him covered.

She would be good , I found her a little overpowering in this context though.
Josh Darby
Last time for early Spielberg in the bracket...!!! Well that's got my vote.
Travis Dunsmuir
Lets go Mel Brooks!

Anyone else think Marie should have her own spin-off podcast? I’d happily listen to her talk movies every week too.
Kalle Färm
That was Marie Bardi, who handles BC's social media and thus all the polls and visuals for March Madness.
Adam Butterworth
If Kubrick ends up taking it can we get a patreon ep on the 2015 Ron Perlman/Rupert Grint vehicle 'Moonwalkers' about the 'faking' of the moon landing?
Filip Boratyn
Would an Orson Welles series mean that we finally get Jeff Wells to guest on the podcast? #WellsOnWelles
Jonny Seed
Sorry I’m a new checkmate. Who was the lady host?
Kevin Love Hewitt
I may be wrong but looks like none of these are silent franchises
David
this ep was full of such joy and excitedness, loved it.
Patrick Tully
This is a cool theme. I could get on board, because there are a lot of classics I haven’t seen overall. I might also be able to get my family to watch with me.
Justice SZ
maybe a unpopular opinion but not sure i could deal w months of silent films
Jamie Bruno
So it would be possible for the final round to be Hitchcock/Truffaut?!
Luccas Hallow
Hitchcock hive!
Benji Black
This is the nerdiest March Madness ever and I'm totally for it.
Nolan Beattie
Woah woah woah, Chip Smith owns the rights to the ENTIRE 20th Century? Not just the company?!?!?
Leo Martin
Every Hitchcock episode should start with the Alfred Hitchcock Presents theme
Leroy Beckett
My favourite time of the year
