Summary

Chris Gethard Beautiful/Anonymous podcast returns to Blank Check to discuss 2003's father and son fantasy, Big Fish. And also, to talk about Star Wars some more. But does Big Fish's ending pay out like a slot machine? Was 2003 the year Steven Spielberg and Tim Burton culturally flip-flopped? What are some of the nerd perks offered at the new Star Wars hotels? Together, they spend 2+ hours examining the performances of the cast including Albert Finney and Billy Crudup, motorcycle cages, which vignette to cut out of this movie, and of course Mr. Soggybottom.

Plus, be sure to grab copy of Chris Gethard's new book, Lose Well!

In telling the podcast of my father's life, it's impossible to separate facts from fiction,

0:26.1

but the best I can do is to tell it the way he told me. It doesn't always make sense,

0:31.7

and most of it never happened. But that's what kind of podcast this is.

0:35.7

Oh, God. Give me that back. Come on. Give me that back.

0:39.3

You're not already getting one over.

I'll say, like, right off the bat, Hock takes, because our guest has been complaining that we've

been saying a lot of good stuff. We're spitting our off-takes off my, yeah, of course.

0:57.7

Yeah, we've been here for roughly 25 minutes and we've discussed so many things about this film.

1:02.6

Right. The last time I was on, we didn't even get to the film we talked about.

1:06.9

We barely talked about how it's going to get that's true. You're right.

1:08.7

So you know, we spent 25 minutes giving hot takes amongst each other that weren't recorded.

1:13.5

Sure. No, no, you're you're very right. So you know what? Let's get focused.

1:18.0

Let's get straight down to business. Well, I actually have a question.

1:20.1

Do you think of solo star wars? I thought solo was solid. I think that it took a lot of,

1:24.7

I think in fairly maligned, do you think?

1:26.1

I'm fairly maligned in the sense of, look, if we want this universe to keep expanding,

1:30.5

some of these stories aren't going to relate directly to like galactic stakes.

1:34.5

Sure. If every single installment in the Star Wars world,

1:38.9

the actual galaxy is on the line. It's not it's not sustainable. It will lose any sense of
