Who just commits check fraud in front of the child they’re berating to get a job? Why is Tone Loc here? Who let this man spend a week with a child? What stores just accept wads of cash from a child? Who let an FBI agent kiss a tween boy? What the hell did we just watch?

Broadcast from elsewhere in the Multiverse, a version of the show that combines the content of The Doctor DC Podcast with the format of Blank Check!

This week, Reid and Richard continue The Pod HallowCast - their miniseries on the DC works of Jeph Loeb and Tim Sale - with the pair's most vibrant and possibly most undervalued work, 1998's Superman For All Seasons. It's an introspective, quiet, and visually chonky take on Superman that seems to do everything right.

Griffin Newman is an actor and comedian known for his portrayal of Arthur Everest on Amazons The Tick, and co host of Blank Check Podcast (Time Magazines Top 10 podcast of 2019). On this episode we chat about his experiences making The Tick, the rise of popularity of Blank Check podcast, working with Kevin Smith on his role as Orko on Masters of the Universe, from growing up in a fan to being a source of fandom and much more.

After another small break, Drew and Badway are back to break down Disney’s 1994 classic, Blank Check. From batting cage to inflatable boxing ring, the guys tally and critique all of Preston Waters’ purchases as he carelessly blows through $1,000,000 in less than a week. Other topics include the inner workings of the Waters brothers business (Hand and Foot), a return of the villain scale, whether adults should question an 11-year old spending time with a mysterious older businessman named Mr. Macintosh without having met him, and Shay Stanley’s dedication to going undercover. Finally, the guys uncover a 20+ year old movie bombshell, simply known as “Plan 442.”
