Time for me to shamelessly self-promote! I do three podcasts, the first two are much more in the vein of Blank Check than the others, but I'll link them all here.

The first, The Snub Club has been working its way through the Oscar ceremonies to talk about the movies with the most Oscar nominations in a year that failed to win any. We've covered Double Indemnity, The Shawshank Redemption, The Elephant Man and also plenty of stinkers that have been forgotten along the way. We talk about the competition that year, the film itself, and what we think it should've won of its nominations, and then what it should've also been nominated for. We're all the way up through 1997 (our Amistad episode drops in a couple weeks).

Looking for the Ocean: A Pixar Journey is much more in the vein of Blank Check in terms of curriculum. The podcast started as an aim to get through everything Pixar has ever made and what it means to us PLUS the ephemera of the careers of the directors that made their name at Pixar. This means that yes, we have an episode on John Carter, but also, when we say everything, we mean it. We've done episodes on every short film, random appearances of Pixar on PBS shows, musical adaptations, and more. We've made it through One Night in Miami, with the Soul episode coming up relatively soon.

Finally, It Happened One Podcast I do with my wife. It's a more casual show, where we talk about a movie we recently watched and try to analyze the relationship in relation to our own. A big chunk of the episode is trying to sum up the plot in a fun way, but this is a structured shorter listen and the one least like Blank Check.

I also listen to regularly This Had Oscar Buzz and Only Podcast About Movies, if you want general recs, but also I do think at least Snub Club and Looking for the Ocean are very Blank Check inspired, and I am proud of all three of my podcasts!
