Welcome

Blank Check with Griffin and David (@blankcheckpod on Twitter) is a film podcast where #TheTwoFriends, Griffin Newman and David Sims, examine the filmographies of famous directors and determine the moment when they got a "Blank Check". This is a wiki for information on the hosts, producers, Benducers, inside jokes, director discussions and featured guests.

The show has been featured in articles at the AV Club, Buzzfeed, TIME Magazine, and many other publications. See About The Show for more.
