The Beach with Emily Yoshida
Mother is back, and she\u2019s taking us all to THE BEACH! Emily Yoshida makes her long-awaited return to the pod to speak about her experience in the writer\u2019s room of the still-unproduced TV version of Alex Garland\u2019s titular novel. We\u2019re asking all the big questions - when did Leonardo DiCaprio stop being \u201cbaby\u201d and become a big boy on screen? Why is no one practicing ethical non-monogamy or doing heroin on this island? Is it cool to like Moby again after that weird Natalie Portman thing? How would starring in this movie have affected Ewan McGregor\u2019s career? Why stay in a commune with a bunch of dirty European hippies when you could just go to a resort with real bathrooms?\xa0\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.
