Blank Check with Griffin & David: Ricki and the Flash with Bobby Finger & Lindsey Weber (guest)

Self-described Diablo Cody completist who wants to love Ricki but couldn't in good conscience. Loves Young Adult and Tully, hates that Streep is too big and too likable for the role, and wishes Ricki were meaner. Fascinated by lighting, hair and set-dressing details.

Stances

  • Wanted to be a Ricki stan but was disappointed
  • Ricki should be more terrible and less movie-star
  • Diablo Cody at her best is perceptive and gentle

Humor: Self-deprecating and detail-obsessed, with sharp aside jokes about production design.

In their words

  • “I want to be like, I stand for Ricky.” (0:19:23)
  • “Like, I was very disappointed.” (0:19:30)

Blank Check — Patreon: You've Got Mail with Bobby Finger & Lindsey Weber (Ad-Free) (guest)

A co-creator of the Housing Works annotated screening. Defends Ephron's influence on how all rom-coms look now, and loves the film's casting. Likes how Ephron blends sweetness with real sadness.

Stances

  • Every modern rom-com is made the Ephron way
  • The film is a long-time personal favorite
  • Ephron's casting is flawless

Humor: Dry, affectionate, quick with the sidelong aside.

In their words

  • “Yes, the, the, one of the 1st projects pre-hu weekly that Bobby and I ever worked on together was an annotated screening of You've Got Mail at the Housing Works bookstore.” (0:06:52)
  • “I think Nora Efron, she made now going forward, rom-coms are the way that Nora Efron made them.” (1:33:02)

  1. fun, about You've Got Mail: To fit a hard out the screening cut the Dabney Coleman and father subplot and nobody noticed.
    “And we cut the Dabney Coleman subplot.”
