Blank Check with Griffin & David Dr. Strangelove... with Sean Fennessey
Mandrake's Understated Humor
- Peter Sellers's portrayal of Mandrake is subtly hilarious.
- His understated performance adds a unique layer of humor.
First Encounters with Dr. Strangelove
- David Sims and Griffin Newman reminisce about their first time watching Dr. Strangelove.
- David was impressed, but Griffin was confused by the film's humor as a child.
George C. Scott's Balancing Act
- George C. Scott's performance in Dr. Strangelove blends overacting with realism.
- Small choices create comedic dissonance.
Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, Sean Fennessey is finally on our podcast! The Big Picture Pod host joins Griffin and David to talk about Kubrick’s razor-sharp satire, the Peter Sellers tour-de-force that is “Dr. Strangelove”. We’re asking all the questions - Could Sellers have played *every* character in this movie? Is the film paradoxically funnier because Kubrick isn’t really a comedy guy? Would George C. Scott hate this podcast? Would you give “Tom Jones” a middling three stars on Letterboxd? And more!
