The Gift with Starlee Kine

Published: May 15, 2022, 4 a.m.

Katie Holmes in a lazy southern accent asks, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter? See somethin\u2019 bad?\u201d and we are immediately transported back to the year 2000 when the trailers for this movie were EVERYWHERE.\xa0 Writer and podcasting icon Starlee Kine joins us to talk about Sam Raimi\u2019s \u201cThe Gift\u201d - a film with an incredibly stacked cast of actors who were eager to sink their teeth into a Southern Gothic Billy Bob Thornton creation. Do we buy Keanu as a wife-beating redneck? Is Cate Blanchett actually a terrible psychic? How does Giovanni Ribisi\u2019s performance in this rank among his most deranged screen outings? Folks - we apologize in advance for bringing up \u201cThe Other Sister\u201d.\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.
