What the corpus says about Ghost Rider (2007)

You are a clerk at Video Culture, a video store. A customer just finished Ghost Rider (2007) 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 Ghost Rider (2007) 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.

[Blank Check — Patreon · Thor · 1:21:53 · Griffin Newman (0.35)] Thor ↔ Ghost Rider · theme · Marvel heroes outside Spider-Man, X-Men, and Fantastic Four lack good villains; Thor has Loki, Ghost Rider's foes are Satan-adjacent like Thor's mythology ones. · "the thing with the Ghost Rider is it like sort of uses like satanic mythology in the same way that this uses Greek mythology."
[The Big Picture · The Past, Present, and Future of Superhero Movies | The Big Picture · 0:13:42 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] The Avengers ↔ Thor · programming · Thor was treated as a loss leader, a stepping stone to the Avengers. · "Thor was treated as a loss leader, essentially."
[The Big Picture · The Past, Present, and Future of Superhero Movies | The Big Picture · 0:33:16 · Sean Fennessey (0.50)] Justice League ↔ Thor · programming · Justice League must make Cyborg, Aquaman, and the Flash into linchpins the way Thor and Captain America are. · "They have to be the Thor, they have to be the Captain America."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Captain America: The First Avenger · 2:08:10 · David Sims (0.45)] Captain America: The First Avenger ↔ Thor · programming · Cap opened to about 65 million like Thor, finished near 176 worldwide domestic and around 370 vs Thor's 450. · "Cap opens pretty much exactly the same as Thor, 65."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Thor · 1:02:12 · Griffin Newman (0.35)] Thor ↔ The Avengers · programming · The Hawkeye cameo, with no interaction, made the speaker doubt the Avengers team-up would work. · "The thing you want to see is how they talk and interact with each other."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Thor · 1:50:54 · David Sims (0.50)] Thor ↔ Fast Five · programming · Thor's opening was the Memorial Day-season release, with Fast Five as the number two film in its 2nd weekend. · "Number 2 is one of the best movies of this year."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Iron Man 2 · 2:07:38 · unknown (0.30)] Iron Man 2 ↔ Thor · programming · Its post-credit scene is called the weakest, existing only to announce Thor's film, much like the Captain Marvel tag after Infinity War. · "Because essentially it's just like Thor, Thor, will be the star of a new movie."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Iron Man · 1:48:57 · unknown (0.30)] Iron Man ↔ Thor · programming · The hosts preview the next trio: Thor, Captain America, Avengers; one hates Thor. · "So what our next three is going to be Thor, Captain America, Avengers."
[Blank Check — Patreon · Thor · 0:03:54 · Griffin Newman (0.65)] Masters of the Universe ⇒ Thor (the host's read) · lineage · Thor is described as essentially a remake of the live-action Masters of the Universe. · "It's mostly just a remake of the live action masters of the universe movie."
[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)

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 Ghost Rider (2007); name it the way the line names it. Don't recommend Ghost Rider (2007) 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.
