Who said it, by their latest sketch (2)

[speaker] Jourdain Searles · latest sketch, Blank Check — Patreon · In the Cut · A film critic and Bad Romance host who calls herself an In the Cut scholar and a longtime Jane Campion fan. Loves erotic thrillers, sexual frankness, and movies that like women's bodies; sees the film's backlash as puritanism and a refusal to let Meg Ryan be a woman with wants. Cannot stand Dennis Quaid or Russell Crowe, and is a sucker for the Matrix sequels. · stances: In the Cut is well made and 'badly made' is factually untrue; The backlash was about America's puritanism and about not wanting Meg Ryan to be a sexual adult; Erotic thrillers by women, and chemistry casting, should come back; The loudest voices reclaiming it are women because they find it hot
[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] Jourdain Searles · latest sketch, Blank Check — Patreon · In the Cut · A film critic and Bad Romance host who calls herself an In the Cut scholar and a longtime Jane Campion fan. Loves erotic thrillers, sexual frankness, and movies that like women's bodies; sees the film's backlash as puritanism and a refusal to let Meg Ryan be a woman with wants. Cannot stand Dennis Quaid or Russell Crowe, and is a sucker for the Matrix sequels. · stances: In the Cut is well made and 'badly made' is factually untrue; The backlash was about America's puritanism and about not wanting Meg Ryan to be a sexual adult; Erotic thrillers by women, and chemistry casting, should come back; The loudest voices reclaiming it are women because they find it hot
[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
[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 In the Cut (2003); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend In the Cut (2003) 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.
