Praying with Anger/Wide Awake
In the debut episode of the newly rebranded \u2018Blank Check\u2019, Griffin and David look to another director of supersized ego and skill: M. Night Shyamalan. Similar to their investigation of George Lucas\u2019 Star Wars, the hosts aim to discover where exactly in Shyamalan\u2019s filmography did this artist lose touch with his unique vision and become the \u201ctwist\u201d guy?\nStarting with 1992\u2019s Praying with Anger (set in India and filmed while he was still a student at NYU), as well as, his first major-motion picture Wide Awake, join the hosts as they try to understand how these early attempts would affect his future films and the recurring themes Shyamalan would continue to explore.\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.
