The Year of Living Dangerously with Tracy Letts

By Blank Check with Griffin & David

12:00 AM EDT on April 5, 2026

Tracy Letts - Pulitzer and Tony winner, but most importantly The King of Physical Media - makes his much-anticipated Blank Check debut on an episode about a film that has no legitimate BluRay release. The irony! This week, we're discussing Peter Weir's The Year of Living Dangerously, a romantic drama set against the backdrop of Indonesian political unrest. We're discussing the star-power of Mel Gibson, the improbable performance of Linda Hunt, and, because this is Blank Check - the trench run at the end of Star Wars. Plus, we present the King of Physical Media with some meticulously chosen discs.Log your physical media using CLZ Check out Night Owl Video if your are in the Brooklyn area. ⁠Listen to The 1988 Movie Draft, The 1982 Movie Draft and The Legal Draft Episodes of The Big PictureRead the Linda Hunt Interview Listen to Mike Duncan's RevolutionsSign up for Check Book, the Blank Check newsletter featuring even more “real nerdy shit” to feed your pop culture obsession.
