Nearing the end of the Cameron Crowe mini series, Esther Zuckerman (The A.V. Club) joins Griffin and David to discuss the writer/director\u2019s most recent theatrical release, 2015\u2019s space militarization romantic comedy, Aloha. But doesn\u2019t someone in Emma Stone\u2019s camp look at this script and see at least a few red flags? Why is the movie set in Hawaii but features 99% white people? How do you make being a fighter pilot sound sexy if you\u2019re a woman? Together, they examine Alec Baldwin\u2019s yelling, defining gate blessings, why one can\u2019t buy the sky and offer up their solutions to fix this film.\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on Instagram, Threads, Facebook and X! \nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our Reddit or Discord\nFor anything else, check out BlankCheckPod.com \nLearn more about your ad choices.
