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.!
This week, Blake and Joe welcome Mike Jordan Laskey, host of AMDG: A Jesuit Podcast.
