Mank with Sean Fennessey
Nerts! Are you folks ready to get MANK-PILLED? We advise that you start by \u201cmankro-dosing\u201d David Fincher\u2019s 2020 exploration of the life and times of cantankerous screenwriter Herman J. Mankiewicz. The Big Picture\u2019s Sean Fennessey joins us to chat about Fincher\u2019s first Netflix feature, and we\u2019re asking all the important questions. Would this film have a better reputation if it had been titled \u201cmanK!\u201d ? Will there be a film made 40 years from now entitled \u201cSORK\u201d about Aaron Sorkin, David Fincher, Mark Zuckerberg, and the making of THE SOCIAL NETWORK? Is Mank the \u201cJabba the Hut of cynicism\u201d? Will Griffin use this episode as another excuse to talk about The Offer?\n\nGuest Links:\xa0\nListen to The Big Picture\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.
