It\u2019s the first episode of a new mini-series. You voted for him, you\u2019ve only yourself to blame for JONATHAN DEMME. Probably one of the directors with the most range of films - from rom coms to serious dramas - Griffin and David start with the first three of his films, each a strange genre movie: Caged Heat about a prison break; Crazy Mama about women doing crimes; and Fighting Mad which pits farmers vs coal companies. What is the appeal of women\u2019s prison movies? Literally what is Michael Richards doing all day? Can art be non-political nowadays? And what exactly makes Demme SO iconic that he\u2019s such an influencer?\xa0\n\nJoin our Patreon for franchise commentaries and bonus episodes.\nFollow us @blankcheckpod on\xa0Instagram,\xa0Threads,\xa0Facebook\xa0and\xa0X!\nBuy some real nerdy merch.\nConnect with other Blankies on our\xa0Reddit\xa0or\xa0Discord\nFor anything else, check out\xa0BlankCheckPod.com\xa0\nLearn more about your ad choices.
