Who said it, by their latest sketch (6)

[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
[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] Bill Simmons · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · Loves the Friday series as a communal, rental-era memory and tells childhood stories about the ads and theaters. Likes casting what-ifs and sports analogies for everything. Skeptical of horror at Christmas and of anything that wastes the premise. · stances: Friday the 13th is not the best entry but the origin story had to be told; Friday 2 is a leap over the original
[speaker] Tim Simons · latest sketch, Blank Check · Fearless · Adores Bradley Whitford, Jeff Bridges, and unbridled positivity about moviegoing. Lover of old movies he has not seen yet. Can be contrarian ('movie MAGA mode') about near-consensus films and U2. Moved by performance and craft more than plot. · stances: Fearless is uniformly excellent, the first 30 and last 20 minutes transcendent; Jeff Bridges is peak, subtle and singular; the Fearless ending locks all puzzle pieces; nitpicks consensus classics
[speaker] Chris Ryan · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · A franchise and genre scholar who likes Jason, the early sequels, and Manhattan; attention to trivia, tropes and critic reception. Treats slashers as a canon with tiers. · stances: Parts 1, 2, 4 and Manhattan are the good ones; The series finds its legs at 4
[speaker] Leslye Headland · latest sketch, Blank Check — Patreon · Zodiac · Loves Zodiac as part of a Mount Rushmore (Zodiac, The Shining, Back to the Future, The Apartment) and watched it daily at a low point in her life. Adores blocking and staging as the true mark of the greats, loves Fincher's digital photography, and sees Fight Club as an evergreen Strangelove-style satire. Also a fan of L.A. Confidential as a nook-and-cranny movie. · stances: Zodiac is a masterpiece and a movie to live inside; Fincher's real genius is blocking and staging, not flash; Fight Club is a durable satire; Digital can look gorgeous

[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
[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] Bill Simmons · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · Loves the Friday series as a communal, rental-era memory and tells childhood stories about the ads and theaters. Likes casting what-ifs and sports analogies for everything. Skeptical of horror at Christmas and of anything that wastes the premise. · stances: Friday the 13th is not the best entry but the origin story had to be told; Friday 2 is a leap over the original
[speaker] Tim Simons · latest sketch, Blank Check · Fearless · Adores Bradley Whitford, Jeff Bridges, and unbridled positivity about moviegoing. Lover of old movies he has not seen yet. Can be contrarian ('movie MAGA mode') about near-consensus films and U2. Moved by performance and craft more than plot. · stances: Fearless is uniformly excellent, the first 30 and last 20 minutes transcendent; Jeff Bridges is peak, subtle and singular; the Fearless ending locks all puzzle pieces; nitpicks consensus classics
[speaker] Chris Ryan · latest sketch, The Rewatchables · ‘Friday the 13th’ · A franchise and genre scholar who likes Jason, the early sequels, and Manhattan; attention to trivia, tropes and critic reception. Treats slashers as a canon with tiers. · stances: Parts 1, 2, 4 and Manhattan are the good ones; The series finds its legs at 4
[speaker] Leslye Headland · latest sketch, Blank Check — Patreon · Zodiac · Loves Zodiac as part of a Mount Rushmore (Zodiac, The Shining, Back to the Future, The Apartment) and watched it daily at a low point in her life. Adores blocking and staging as the true mark of the greats, loves Fincher's digital photography, and sees Fight Club as an evergreen Strangelove-style satire. Also a fan of L.A. Confidential as a nook-and-cranny movie. · stances: Zodiac is a masterpiece and a movie to live inside; Fincher's real genius is blocking and staging, not flash; Fight Club is a durable satire; Digital can look gorgeous
[bits] The Big Picture: Drafts (Hosts and guests draft films in rounds; every pick is a recommendation with an argument); Hall of Fame (A star's or director's best, ranked and argued); Countdowns (Ranked lists, top five or top ten)
[bits] Blank Check: The box office game (Guessing the film's opening weekend and what it was up against); The sung theme ("Blank Check with Griffin and David", sung; the transcriber garbles it)
[bits] The Rewatchables: Apex Mountain (The moment a star peaks; where on the mountain a performance sits); Who Won the Movie (The hosts name the person who came out of the film best off); The Ebert review (Roger Ebert's original review and star rating read aloud. Ebert is cited, never on the show); Casting what-ifs (Who was almost cast, or who should have been); Most rewatchable scene (The scene each host would stop on while flipping channels); Aged best / aged worst (What holds up and what does not); Picking Nits (The little things in a film the hosts love that they don't think totally work: the nits); Double feature (The film each host would pair it with; a programming pick)

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 The Shining (1980); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend The Shining (1980) 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.
