Bridge of Spies
Griffin and David this week gush over 2015\u2019s Cold War drama, Bridge of Spies. But how does this film fall into Tom Hanks\u2019 beginning a new phase in his career? What is the standing man? What was the Coen Brothers\u2019 involvement in the screenplay? Together they passionately discuss Mark Rylance\u2019s Academy Award winning performance as Russian spy Rudolf Abel, Hanks\u2019 mastering of being a good man and having the sniffles, and solidify a new shorthand for describing Spielberg\u2019s filmmaking that involves a spice rack.\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.
