Welcome to Blank Check with Griffin and David.

I'm producer Ben Hossley and today we are proud to present our first in a series of best

of episodes from our days covering the Star Wars prequels.

Now normally this is a podcast about directors, right?

We look at filmmakers who had a massive success early on and they got a series of blank

checks to make their own crazy passion projects.

Sometimes you know those checks clear and while other times they bounce baby but the early

days of this show were somewhat different.

In the beginning Griffin and David set out to record a podcast, weekend and week out

only about the Phantom Menace.

Now some of you listeners might not be aware but this podcast was actually once called

Griffith and David present and for almost a year 30 plus episodes.

Griffin and David talked about nothing but the Phantom Menace then attacked the clone

and finally revenge of the Sith.

And while Blank Check prides itself in being a no-bits podcast, ProSmitz, no-bits, during

these three miniseries, the overall bit was that Griffin and David were only aware of

episode one as a standalone film and then would discover the subsequent sequels at the end

of each miniseries run.

Alright, that should be enough setup so without any further ado, here is the best of the

Phantom Podcasts.

Are we here to praise Phantom Menace?

Absolutely not.
