Blank Jack with Griffin and David

Blank Jack with Griffin and David.

Don't know what to say or to expect.

All you need to know is that the name of the show was Blank Jack.

When I saw you, I believed it was a sign that something new can come into this podcast.

That was my bad defoe, Tars Tarkas.

That was the big line they used in the trailer.

It's a sort of hint at the mystery of the film. Now, I was saying before, I think this movie famously didn't have a tagline. And we'll spend roughly half an hour on this movie's disastrous marketing campaign, kind of as big a legacy as the film itself. But it did, in fact, have a tagline. And it's quite poor, I would say. What is the tagline? Let me guess. He's from Mars. No, I don't know. Lost in our world, found in another. And then of course, the title is John Carter. So Mars is nowhere on the poster. Oh, you have to watch the movie to find out what world he was found in. And the poster is just bright red. that was their big move. This wasn't the one that had the J.C.M. That was the teaser poster.

I want to And the poster is just bright red. That was their big move. This wasn't the one that had the JCP.

That was the teaser poster.

I want to say that was even maybe before the title had been changed.

But that was big JCP, black and white.

John Carter arrives.

That was the tagline.

It's telling you, John Carter's coming.

People were excited. The classic poster, classic, of course. The all red. Right, was this. Very red. Very red. I mean, it's kind of a cool image, I guess. It's not bad. You know, it's every Mars movie did this. Yeah. And this movie is post the Mars craze. I like to think about the Mars craze. Sure. Because I recently watched Species 2. Uh-huh. And I forgot that Species 2 is the first Mars movie of this wave. Well... Because it was right after they'd found the meteor on Mars with... Sure. Well, what? What do you... I was going to say, I think some credits total recall, which was a secret Mars movie.

Not talking about, no, no, that doesn't count. That's not. That gets his ass to Mars. That doesn't count. There are pre-Mars crazed Mars movies. There's a few. There's the one that I bought the DVD for and Keep Me Need to Watch where Sean Connery is like a cop on Mars called Outland. Outland. Okay.

Yeah, it's totally recall. But there's, it's like, Species 2 Mission to Mars, Red Planet. Yes. There's a fourth one. Like, there's a bunch of them all together for like two years. Mission of Mars and Red Planet were a true deep impact Armagedon. It's an Armageddon deep impact.

Yes.

Right.

And then they ended up moving a little further apart in dates because they were worried at the competition.

Eventually a year apart.
