On the podcast Blank Check, Griffin and David examine filmographies of directors who had early success in their careers which gave them a series of "blank check" films. Sometimes those checks clear, sometimes they bounce, baby. So far they've discussed the works of M. Night Shyamalan, the Wachowski siblings, Cameron Crowe, James Cameron, Steven Spielberg, Christopher Nolan, Kathryn Bigelow, Paul Verhoeven, James L. Brooks, Brad Bird, Ang Lee, Nancy Meyers, Tim Burton, Michael Mann, Hayao Miyazaki, and Jonathan Demme, with many more directors in the pipeline for future discussion.
