Specifically, the auteurs whose early successes afforded them the rare ‘blank check’ from Hollywood to produce passion projects. Each new miniseries, hosts Griffin Newman and David Sims delve into the works of film’s most outsized personalities in painstakingly hilarious detail.

Since 2015, the podcast has covered twenty four directors (ranging from M. Night Shyamalan to Nancy Meyers), as well as the occasional off-topic bonus episode. As each director-focused miniseries ploughs through their filmography, Griffin and David add to their growing repertoire of recurring jokes, frustrations, and appreciations about each filmmaker. Blank Check with Griffin & David is a show listeners can pick up at any point, but with a wealth of in-jokes that inspires them to delve into its back catalogs.
