S02E026 - BLANK CHECK Summer of Scam Movies W/ Victoria Montalbano
The ‘90s: where $1 million feels like $100 million!!! This week, we’re joined by comedian and Caitlin’s former college roommate Victoria Montalbano. Together, they rewatched the scammy classic Blank Check.
The movie, a Blockbuster favorite of millenials, just might have inspired a generation of catfish. Falling madly in love with Karen Duffy and being terrified of Miguel Ferrer were pretty common back then, so what else can a ten-year-old do? Caitlin and Victoria discuss all these formative moments with no detail (like that… um… kiss) spared.
Crooked bank managers, inappropriate romance, Tone Loc — this movie crammed in everything you could want from the ‘90s. Blank Check truly checked all the boxes and set us on a healthy road to adulthood. After all, where would we be had this movie not beckoned us to look into our hearts and ask, “Is child labor bad if it also involves go-karts?”
