Film Inquiry presents So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, a new podcast obsessively devoted to contextualizing and celebrating Grosse Pointe Blank (1997). Each week, join hosts Blake I. Collier and Joe George for a deep dive into the discographies and filmographies of all the cast, crew, and musicians featured in the film as well as a minute-by-minute analysis and interviews with first-time viewers, critics, cast & crew, etc.!
In this episode, we talk with Bob Cram, Jr., author and illustrator, about his love of Grosse Pointe Blank, why he thinks John Cusack should get back into writing and producing, and how the GPB soundtrack acts as the Greek Chorus of the film. We also compare John Cusack‘s career with Nicolas Cage‘s, tussle about who the better Wilson brother is, and try to survive the summer heat. All of this and more on this episode of So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, a little concern put together to remind you all that this podcast is us…breathing.
Bob Cram Jr. is a writer and illustrator who grew up in the shadow of Mount Katahdin. He would like to be mysterious, but is instead, at best, ambiguous. While his past has included stints as an actor, comic book editor, and web developer, it’s really not as interesting as it sounds. Except for working on The Incredible Hulk that one time. That was cool. He’s published two books – the sci-fi/horror/comedy/adventure novel The Monster War and a collection of horror movie reviews, 31 Days, 31 Horror Movies. He also writes “Fear Flashback,” a weekly horror movie review column at screenagewasteland.com. He is a total nerd, as his wife Maureen will eagerly attest. He will, on occasion, draw stuff.
