On today's episode, Blake talks to Zoey and Katelyn Rosen, the twin sisters who played "Baby Robbie" in the high school reunion scene. We talk about being child stars, how their parents got the brilliant looks in the scene, and what they are doing now! Then Joe and Blake talk about what denizens of various states are called and about the future of the podcast! We hope you enjoy this episode.

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.

On the latest So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank, Blake and Joe talk about Grosse Pointe Blank cinematographer Jamey Anderson, a man who doesn’t talk much about himself. We dig into the role of a cinematographer and poke fun at a few lesser entries in Anderson’s oeuvre. But not Heartbeeps, because Heartbeeps is amazing.

It’s good times all over on So Grosse Such Point Much Blank, as we finally discuss Johnny Nash’s first reggae/soul album, Hold Me Tight! Blake and Joe gush about Nash’s new sound and free expression, as well as the album’s refreshing cover art!

In this very special episode of So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank, we visit with Pat Jankiewicz, author of Just When You Thought It Was Safe: A Jaws Companion, a correspondent for Fangoria, writer for various publications, but, perhaps most importantly, the brother of the late Tom Jankiewicz, writer of Grosse Pointe Blank. We talk about his older brother, the writing and development of the film, Michiganisms, Detroit's great Bill Kennedy, and about Tom's late-night therapy sessions for viewers of his film. We are so excited to bring this wonderful interview to you all and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Journalist Pat Jankiewicz is the author of 4 books and proud to be the brother of Tom Jankiewicz.

Even though the latest episode of So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank is barely 15 minutes long, Joe manages to find a way to say “Yep” approximately 300 times. Of course, you would be enthusiastic too if you were talking about Joan Cusack’s performance as Marcella, who gets most of the attention in this week’s episode.

In this week’s So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank, Blake and Joe end their look at the films of Grosse Pointe Blank director George Armitage with a shocking twist: the very bad movie The Big Bounce, from 2004. Blake and Joe deal with their disappointment by not only critiquing the performances of stars Owen Wilson, Sarah Foster, and Morgan Freeman, but also by spending a surprising amount of time talking about the Lawrance Kasden movie Dreamcatcher.

In this episode, your hosts, Blake and Joe, actually stay on topic for once and talk about Johnny Nash' 1964 album, Composer's Choice. We dive into the perfect mixture of instrumentation and raw Nash vocals, how this version of jazz differs from his past attempts, and we speculate on what this album meant for Nash considering this would be the last of his teen idol/crooner albums. Join us for a good time and remember that this podcast is us...breathing.

In this episode, we talk with Bob Cram, Jr., author and illustrator, about his love of Grosse Pointe Blank, why he thinks John Cusack should get back into writing and producing, and how the GPB soundtrack acts as the Greek Chorus of the film. We also compare John Cusack's career with Nicolas Cage's, tussle about who the better Wilson brother is, and try to survive the summer heat. All of this and more on this episode of So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, a little concern put together to remind you all that this podcast is us...breathing.

Bob Cram Jr. is a writer and illustrator who grew up in the shadow of Mount Katahdin. He would like to be mysterious, but is instead, at best, ambiguous. While his past has included stints as an actor, comic book editor, and web developer, it's really not as interesting as it sounds. Except for working on The Incredible Hulk that one time. That was cool. He's published two books - the sci-fi/horror/comedy/adventure novel The Monster War and a collection of horror movie reviews, 31 Days, 31 Horror Movies. He also writes “Fear Flashback,” a weekly horror movie review column at screenagewasteland.com. He is a total nerd, as his wife Maureen will eagerly attest. He will, on occasion, draw stuff.

In this episode of So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank, Joe and Blake find an uneven minute of the movie. They discuss Dan Ackroyd’s improv skills, George Armitage’s control as a director, and ex-Stasi guys. We don’t like those guys. And always remember, this podcast is us...breathing.

Your podcast parents are fighting in the latest episode of So Grosse, Such Pointe, Much Blank, as Joe and Blake have differing opinions about George Armitage’s Neo-noir Miami Blues.

Or will the podcast end with a bloody standoff? Find out on this week’s So Grosse Such Pointe Much Blank and remember, this podcast is us...breathing.

This week, Blake and Joe are surprised and delighted by Nash's final album for ABC-Paramount, Studio Time, and dig into why the album works so well even when it is tonally all over the place. We also talk about music writing on vinyl sleeves, Moby, and the Kmart guy who doesn't make a living wage. Oh, and James Bond makes an appearance as well. Always remember, this podcast is us...breathing.

This week, Blake and Joe welcome Mike Jordan Laskey, host of AMDG: A Jesuit Podcast. Mike shares his thoughts after his first viewing experience of Grosse Pointe Blank, celebrating the movie’s surreal comedy, its outstanding soundtrack, and its most memorable lines. Also, he totally shames us in the podcast host department, thanks to his outstanding audio.

Mike Jordan Laskey is the communications director for the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States (jesuits.org), where he hosts the AMDG podcast. His writing has appeared in Vice, the National Catholic Reporter, US Catholic Magazine and elsewhere. He lives with his family in Maryland.

This week, Blake and Joe look at the fourth film from Grosse Pointe Blank director George Armitage, 1979’s Hot Rod.

We hope you enjoy it! And, remember, this podcast is us…breathing.

On the latest episode, Joe and Blake get lost in boredom trying to discuss Johnny Nash's 1960 album Let's Get Lost. Do they succeed? I’m not sure! Should you listen to the record? No! Should you listen to the episode? Please do!

This week, Blake and Joe introduce a new wild card segment called topic roulette! We each contributed ten things we know something about, we mixed them up on an ongoing list, and we roll the digital die to see what topic we have to riff on for a specific amount of time and then eventually tie it into Grosse Pointe Blank in some way. Our topic on this episode is "Philosophy." We discuss everything from postmodernism to Marxism to post-humanism. And you get to decide whether we successfully tie it into our favorite hitman existentialist comedy. And, as always, remember, this podcast is us…breathing.

This week, Blake and Joe proceed into minute four of our analysis of Grosse Pointe Blank and talk about the brilliance of Tom Jankiewicz's story, Dirty Harry and his gun, and the paramilitary organization, Blackwater!

This week, Blake and Joe look at the third film from Grosse Pointe Blank director George Armitage, 1976’s Vigilante Force. In their discussion, Blake and Joe sing the praises of Bernadette Peters, uncover the political undertones of hicksploitation, and consistently confuse 70s genre darling Jan Michael Vincent with 80s cinematographer Jan De Bont. We hope you enjoy it! And, remember, this podcast is us…breathing.

This week, Blake and Joe dig into Johnny Nash’s third album as we continue our chronological investigation into the artists who make up the Grosse Pointe Blank’s soundtrack. We talk about Johnny Nash’s 1959 album, I Got Rhythm. Things get a bit strange on this episode as we begin to see some light at the end of the crooner tunnel for Johnny Nash and we go off on tangents such as Broadway music, postwar American culture, and convicted pedophile Victor Salva. Yeah, we are just as surprised as you are. Nonetheless, we hope you enjoy it. And, remember, this podcast is us…breathing.
