Melvin and Howard (and Jordan Hoffman)

By Blank Check with Griffin & David

12:00 AM EST on November 24, 2019

Finally, we get to the good Demme movies with film critic Jordan Hoffman. The partially true story of a guy who thinks Howard Hughes is gonna leave him money. What made Griffin almost cry (and not in frustration)? What is an animated movie actually and is it for children? What game shows attracted the weirdest contestants. Why isn't there a good movie where someone's telling someone to go get their shine box? And what's your favorite Airplane joke? Music selection: "Night on the Docks" by Kevin MacLeod.
