- [Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 1:02:56 · unknown (0.35)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Wild Rose · talent reveal · In Wild Rose the lead's talent reveal lands because she is a real fuck-up first; in Ricki we are told Ricki is good but can't tell. · "The reveal of being really good."
- [Blank Check — Patreon · The Fifth Annual Blank Check Awards · 0:37:03 · Griffin Newman (0.45)] Sophie Okonedo ↔ Wild Rose · verdict · Late shout-out: Okonedo plays the nuance of a 'white savior'-sounding story with flipped dynamics in every moment. · "Sophie Akinado plays the sort of nuance of that in every moment, is incredibly compelling and impressive to me."

- [Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:26:38 · unknown (0.40)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Young Adult · craft · The speaker compares the two as opposite ends of Cody's style: Young Adult over-explains every incident, Ricki is vague about how bad Ricki was. · "they feel like 2 sorts of extremes on her like her writing style, on the opposite ends."
- [Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 0:34:43 · David Sims (0.40)] Declan Quinn ↔ Ricki and the Flash · craft · The host, after naming Quinn as cinematographer, finds the photography of Ricki weirdly flat and shiny, a disservice to hiring Demme. · "this movie is weirdly flat and I don't know what's up with the photography at all."

- [Blank Check · Ricki and the Flash · 1:11:44 · unknown (0.35)] Ricki and the Flash ↔ Juno · craft · Juno nails an innately unlikable character (Jennifer Garner) as pathologically uncool; Ricki's son-boyfriend scene is the failed version of that balance. · "Jennifer Garner's character in Juno is so incredibly good at being like, this is an innately unlikable person who we always demonize in movies like this."
Who said it, by their latest sketch (3)
- [speaker] Bobby Finger · latest sketch, Blank Check — Patreon · You've Got Mail · Calls You've Got Mail his favorite movie and watches it a few times a year. Loves the elevator scene and the hospitality and New Yorkiness of Ephron's writing. Misses Ephron-style rom-coms, not rom-coms in general; Enough Said is his favorite since. · stances: You've Got Mail is his favorite movie; He misses Nora Ephron rom-coms specifically; New York specificity is what makes the film work
- [speaker] David Sims · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Prepares history: novel, casting, budgets, box office. Reveres the film and thinks it reads as a normal ground-level story. A sucker for Hollywood deal backstory and box office game. · stances: Praises Keitel and Dafoe casting; Respects Scorsese's persistence and Corman discipline; The film is now well regarded though not 'canonical Marty'
- [speaker] Griffin Newman · latest sketch, Blank Check · The Last Temptation of Christ · Calls Last Temptation his college-era favorite Scorsese; loves Scorsese's smaller 80s and the film's closing transcendence and Gabriel score. Cannot stand fundamentalist outrage at it. A sucker for casting trivia and Tom Cruise-silliness. · stances: Hot take: Last Temptation structurally mirrors New York, New York as a better version; Outrage over the film is stupid; it is respectful to Jesus; Scorsese's smaller 80s work beats his later baroque phases

The whole prompt
As the model gets it, from app/Ai/Prompts/CorpusAsk.md
You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Wild Rose (2018) and wants to know what to watch next.
Below is what people who love movies said on three podcasts (Blank Check, The Rewatchables, The Big Picture) about Wild Rose (2018) and the films around it, one line each. Every line starts with where it came from, in brackets: [show · episode · time · speaker (how sure we are it was them)]. A [pairs] line says how often two films were put side by side. A [speaker] line says what that person likes. A [bits] line lists a show's running bits: a format, not an opinion.

Recommend three to six films, and only films that appear in these lines. A series, a TV film, or a franchise counts too when a line recommends it or pairs it with Wild Rose (2018); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Wild Rose (2018) itself. For each one, give one short reason in your own words and say whose reason it is: the show, named exactly as the brackets name it, and the speaker when the line names one (an "unknown" speaker is just the show). If the lines are thin, say so plainly rather than stretching them.
Keep a contrast a contrast. When a line sets two films apart, the reason is how they differ; never turn it into a way they're alike. A line with ⇒ puts the source first and what drew on it second, and one marked "the maker said so" is still the host reporting it: say who said it, and never state an influence as fact.
You know only what's on these lines. Add no fact they don't state: not who directed a film, not what kind of film it is, not when it came out, unless a line says so. Say nothing about the store or how anything rents here.
Talk the way a clerk talks to a customer at the counter: plain text, titles written plainly with no asterisks or other markup, no headings, no lists of more than six, no JSON.
