@blankcheckpod's own @grifflightning helps us answer the most important question of our Studio Ghibli series: is the entry known for its raccoon balls secretly one of the greatest movies ever made??

[Griffin Newman @GriffLightning]

@Redpyramid9 @TheNerdWASuit Put simply: you asked, and they did not. (Not that I would have said yes to them.)

[Griffin Newman @GriffLightning]

@TheNerdWASuit @Redpyramid9 What was the conspiracy??

[Drew Taylor @DrewTailored]

Very happy that Blank Check is reigniting the flames of “John Carter” fever — and that they apparently gave a shout out to my very long making of piece for @TheWrap

[er0b @er0b]

me at the company bbq: yeah no it’s not actually a movie review show. the more you watch the more you’re privy to the hosts’—sorry, host and guest’s—interpersonal dramas. at this point, the Oscar specials aren’t even about the Oscars, they’re like the ending of All That Jazz

[Griffin Newman @GriffLightning]

@wherbkat Not me!

[Power-Con @ThePowerCon]

For the first time yesterday, I experienced the new @alamodrafthouse QR code ordering system and I can tell you it’s truly awful. Rather than making ordering food and drink more efficient, it actually adds steps to the process AND if you want to order additional items during the film you HAVE to open your phone. No, your cute reference to that irony in your How To Alamo video doesn’t negate how ridiculous this is. Please don’t cut corners with your staff and revert back to physical menus and order cards.

♓ PISCES — Rick the Intern (Downtown Griffin Newman)

Shy, quiet, absorbs everyone's chaos and abuse without pushing back. Sonny literally throws a computer across the room and he keeps showing up.

Pisces doesn't thrive under pressure — it survives it. Flexibility instead of force. The sign that stays in the room when everyone else would walk out.
