YMMV / Blank Check with Griffin & David

Go To

  • Ensemble Dark Horse: The show has a habit of picking some wonderful guests, with several proving popular enough to warrant repeat appearances.
    • Richard Lawson, film critic of Vanity Fair, is well-liked for his quick wit in setting forth various playful gags and tangents that often feel in Griffin and David's wheelhouse. #TheTwoFriends tend to cite his appearance on the Lady in the Water episode as a fan-favorite, and he later returned to discuss Vanilla Sky, Saving Private Ryan, and K-19: The Widowmaker.
    • Emily Yoshida, film critic at Vulture. She is particularly popular for coming up with the Blank Check Fan Community Nickname "Blankies". Fans have since proclaimed her to be the "Mother of Blankies", which she has worn with pride.
    • J. D. Amato, producer and director. He gained several fans early on for his talk about digital filmmaking in the "Attack of the Podcast" series, and received even more love for his passionate defense of Speed Racer in the episode on it.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: In the very first episode of The Phantom Podcast, Griffin jokes that they'll get forty spinoffs out of it, which ended up being true...from a certain point of view.
