Film Inquiry presents So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, a 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 week’s episode, Blake and Joe look at minute 8 of Grosse Pointe Blank which is taken up with a phone conversation between Martin and Marcella as the camera cuts back and forth between them in their witty, sharp dialogue. The guys talk about getting older, high school reunions, and the stifled emotions and existential plights that are undergirding the central conversation of this minute.
