Blanks Bank: Recent Episodes
Blanks Bank
Each season, we chronologically review an actor's entire IMDB to see if they are what is going to save humanity
Slightly later than planned, the boys are back with the latest Anne Hathaway straight to streamer special - Mother's Instinct! We answer the important questions such as, just how much chloroform is too much? And will there be a Christmas episode this year?
This week the boys are back to discuss Anne Hathaway's new RomCom The Idea of You, streaming on Amazon Prime. They discuss who the target audience for the film is, how horny it is, and Jamie's weird connection to the film.
In an episode recorded live in person at 10.50pm in Toronto on October 28th, we perhaps make our worst episode yet. Listen at your own discretion. While continuing their Sisyphean task of watching the Polar Express once again, the boys discuss what bad decisions they made to reach this moment, whether Jamie should be a godfather and whether the simple idea being funny enough to outweigh the absolute hatred we feel four ourselves inside
Come on Eileen! Anne Hathaway is in another film from the indie film circuit that got a limited cinematic release so you've probably not seen it. But fear not, we are hear to tell you all about it. Also, bits are back baby! We've got songs, we've got improv, we've got everything you've ever wanted!
The boys have a severe disagreement over the latest instalment of weird films Anne Hathaway is in that do the film festival circuit and then get limited theatrical releases. This time she stars alongside Peter Dinklage as a neurotic wife to tortured artist Dinklage who ends up breaking his writer's block by shagging a tug boat captain, Marisa Tomei. No I didn't make any of that up.
Tom Hanks and Anne Hathaway don't have any films coming out for a while and it's the cinematic event of the year, so we had to do a special bonus ep to talk about Barbenheimer.
The boys dress up for the occasion, maybe talk a little bit too much about Ken, and Jamie continues on his Wes Anderson hater brigade.
Barbie Spoilers Start: 20:10
Barbie Spoilers end and Oppenheimer Spoilers start: 1:12:50
This week we talk about Asteroid City, the new Wes Anderson film with so many people in it you might not even have realised that it starts Tom Hanks.
We dive deep on the meanings and themes of the film, while also discussing Wes Anderson's signature style and whether it would be better if he was just a photographer.
Stay tuned until the end for a Special AnnouncementTM
Tom Hanks is the Grumpiest Man In America (who was previously the grumpiest man in Sweden.) This week we are reviewing the most sappy, saccharin movie about suicide you have ever seen. Jamie's parents loved it, Al was surrounded by octogenarians in the cinema who loved it, but what did these two young, strong willed men think of its sentimental, young-people-hating ways?
Content Warning: Mentions of suicide and suicide attempts that happen within the movie.
Look, we got absolutely sick of reviewing the polar express movie. So we decided to review the movie-tie-in video game, something that is definitely famously not worse and not longer.
We also do a Tom Hanks draft and look ahead to make some predictions about the year to come
It's the 80s, Ronald Reagan is about to be president and everything is absolutely fine. The boys dive deep on a film they have no right to be talking about buy gosh darnit they're gonna do it anyway. We also discuss if Anne Hathaway is allowed to be hot anymore and whether we might be back in Oscar-Town for big Annie.
Did you know Tom Hanks was Gepetto in the live action remake of Pinocchio? You'd be forgiven for having missed it, considering the studio was about as embarrassed about it as we are to talk about it. We discuss just why Disney keep making these and what we can do to stop them and also whether Tom Hanks can ever come back from this.
The boys are back together and Tom Hanks (the mad lad) has only gone and bloody done it! He's killed Elvis! We all knew he had it in him.
We dive into the Yellowstone cinematic universe for this prequel 1883. That means it's cowboy time baby and we have the terrible accents to boot. We also discuss Jubilee Weekend festivities and just what it means to be the "Best Dog."
We review the last two episodes of WeCrashed and discuss the show as a whole. Did Anne Hathaway finally fire her agent? Is this a sign of more great things to come? Is Jared Leto still a freaky little guy? We discuss all that and more on today's episode.
REUNITED AND IT FEELS SO GOOD! That's right we're back in the studio (Jamie's bedroom) for one night (episiode) only! We discuss whether we are mavericks, magicians or muses and Al pitches the new Joe Rogan Experience
Anne's back and that means so are we! We talk all about the first three episodes of WeCrashed, documenting the rise and fall of WeWork with Jared Leto acting like a freaky lil guy. We also discuss updates on our lives in the past 3 months and whether Al hates Jamie's birthday.
That's right, we're back again, forcing ourselves into the uncanny valley once more to watch Polar Express for the third time. And this might finally be one time too many, as Jamie has a crisis and Al dives deep into conspiracy theories.
We're back baby! Tom Hanks has released a new movie, even if you didn't know because it's hidden away in the backwoods of Apple TV+. Finch is in a post apocalyptic wasteland with a dog and a robot; think you know where this is going? Well we might have a few surprises for you anyway. And join us next week for our Christmas Special!

Anne Hathaway is trapped in a basement talking to herself, wait, I thought we were reviewing Locked Down next week? That's right Anne Hathaway inadvertently creates a pandemic parody in this sci-fi mini-series. The boys discuss whether it hits the mark and whether Al actually came up with the idea for this plot beforehand.
What's scarier than a bunch of witches wanting to turn all the children in the world into mice? An extremely problematic kids movie of course! We deep dive and try to decide if this movie is stupid or scary or if we are just too old.

Jamie is regretting more and more the decision of Anne Hathaway as we head in for another PERIOD DRAMA. An "biographical" film about the early life and romance of Jane Austen with James McAvoy (and his CHEEKS), it's about to get steamy in here! Also Al enlists Jamie to help him write a DnD campaign about getting toiler paper and Jamie's Gamey Corner returns with a bang.
It's EPISODE 100 and the boys are wearing their best cerulean cardigans to celebrate. That's right, we've prepared a biggie for you, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA: Anne Hathaway ain't no princess anymore, she's a high flying fashionista and she's working for not Anna Wintour definitely not Anna Wintour. A movie that has been hyped as a movie Jamie will, quote, "hate so much" we guarantee our opinions will surprise you.

What happens when you make an independently funded 3D animated movie in 2005 for less than 8 million dollars? You make 2 idiots talk about it 16 years later of course! Anne Hathaway stars as the much parodied Red Riding Hood in this visually horrific, but surprisingly endearing relic from the mid noughties.

Tom Hanks just had to screw us over one last time. Between last week's episode and today, a sneaky new entry on to Tom Hanks IMDB has had to appear and it's ruined our plans for the final Hanks Bank. But we will still discuss why Tom Hanks is even in this film, and then we will look back on Tom Hanks' entire career and discuss our collective Hanks Banks. Also, in classic Hanks Bank style we have one last parody song and one last letter.
We will be returning with Season 2 of the newly branded BLANKS BANK: The Hathaway Stashaway on December 1st.

Is this perhaps the worst Tom Hanks film ever made? It's certainly the most confusing. Dive in to a techno-babble parable, a techno-parababble if you will, about how technology and social media may slowly erode our privacy. Is Emma Watson a good actress? Could Karen Gillan one day play Gollum? And did Tom Hanks do anything wrong? We answer all this on this weeks episode about The Circle.

Apology letters, disagreements and theme songs! It's a classic Hanks Bank ep as Tom Hanks ventures to Saudi Arabia to try and fix his life and find love (and also sell a holographic teleconferencing system to the Saudi King.) Listen all the way to the end as we have a very controversial ratings section and Al might have finally gone crazy!
Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks Reunited? Another WWII film? Could this be the best Tom Hanks movie ever?
No, no it is not.
Al commits to selling out, and fills the podcast with a variety of official and suspicious sponsors.
Next Week - A Hologram for The King!

We dive back into the "real" story of the making of Mary Poppins with Tom Hanks playing Walt Disney. Is this a heartwarming tale of the creation of a film that touched millions of children for decades to come? Or is it a symbol of the epitome of corporate greed and capitalism and perhaps the most evil film ever made? Listen in to find out!

Lean back, put on some smooth jazz in the background, and remember - Tom Hanks doesn't do Yellowface in this movie. We wish we could say the same for all the actors...

Fictional Jamie drops LSD and decides to become a farmer. Finally, we have successfully managed to sell out, so thanks to our sponsor's for this episode - Sominhanx - the only sleeping pill endorsed by Hanks Bank, and The Tom Hanks School for Typewriter and Sony Products Repair.

No, that is not a useless title where a Tom Hanks podcast has put the name Tom Hanks in the title, that is the actual title of this project. In 2012 Tom Hanks made a post-post apocalyptic animated show for Yahoo Screen. Yes, you heard that right. The boys delve in to the absolute weirdest thing on Hanks' IMDB and are truly bewildered from start to finish.

Huge Simpsons Super-Fan and host of the SciGuys Podcast Corry joins us this week to discuss everyone's favourite yellow family's venture onto the big screen.

How many hosts of this Podcast? 2. How many stars do we rate Tom Hanks out of? 5. 5 minus 2? 3. 3 points to a triangle. Illuminati confirmed.
That's right we're diving into some conspiracy bullshit today as we look at the much maligned but wildly successful Da Vinci Code. Also we discuss family trees, the stupidity of Dan Brown and finally Al gives Jamie a riddle that takes him the whole episode to solve.

That's right did you know Tom Hanks was in Cars? You'd be forgiven for missing him, and the boys are once again driven to fury by a film that Tom Hanks is barely in. But that doesn't come close to Al's fury at the entire concept of this film. How does the Cars economy work? Who is a human car and who is an animal car? How are cars born? Who knows, listen to us try to figure it out

Elvis isn't dead, so this film is based on a faulty premise, and Al deleted his version of the podcast in protest. As such, the Bouncy Boys had to record a makeup episode in which they recap the recap of a movie that Jamie couldn't actually watch in the United Kingdom. They've declared the original episode a classic "lost episode", that you can only get on bootleg vinyl (and even then, it's only Jamie's track).
So lean back, crack open a cold one, and enjoy the finest twelve minutes of audio that money can't buy.

It's the 2004 Coen Brothers film based on the 1955 film of the same name. Does this revival of a British classic hold up? Do Al and Jamie hold up amid an ongoing pandemic and self quarantine?

TOM HANKS GOT CORONA VIRUS AND WE'RE ONLY A WEEK AND A HALF BEHIND THE NEWS. We discuss the ongoing pandemic and how it might actually be a good thing for Jamie! But to avoid the panic we find solace in a much simpler time, 2003. With George W Bush and post-9/11 America making weirdly patriotic documentaries claiming to be the only country with Freedom. But hey, at least we get to hear Tom Hanks pretend to be Abraham Lincoln.

This week Hanks is playing a member of the Irish mob in 1920s Chicago, Daniel Craig is looking the exact same in 2002 as he does in 2020 and Jude Law is looking like a straight up creep. Also Al and Jamie catch up after three months apart and Jamie tries to remember just what the hell is going in with the Aliens.

We've ditched the Com from RomCom and now it's time for just a straight Romance film. But it's not exactly a typical Romance film as Tom Hanks finds himself as a Protestant Pilot falling in love with a Jewish woman in WW2 Palestine. However the boys are absolutely NOT in agreement over this film, resulting in our most disparate rankings yet!

Jamie is ecstatic that we're veering away from RomComs this week with 1986's Comedy-Drama Nothing In Common starring Hanks alongside Jackie Gleeson in his final ever film role. Also, Jamie reveals a rather embarrassing secret about last episode. Finally a Hanks Bank first happens that leaves both the boys overcome with joy!

A remake of a 70s French film made on a small budget about CIA espionage? What could possibly go wrong?! Join Jamie and Al as they dive deeper into the well of mediocre Tom Hanks films with 1985's The Man With One Red Shoe, a film that's title is more intriguing than its plot!

Last week was a bit of a tense one. So it is only right that this week the boys sit down to chat about a silly ol' sex comedy called Bachelor Party. Filled with raunchy jokes, problematic jokes and one very questionable bestiality joke, will this stand the test of time and make it into the Hanks Bank?
Tom Hanks is finally starring in big movies! In a highly anticipated episode, we review Tom Hanks' break out role in 1984's Splash! In what is promised to start out as our friendliest episode ends up as potentially our most contentious episode yet. Also a new music segment is introduced and Al has to walk away from the podcast for at least 2 minutes. Listen now!

The year is 1983. Reagan is in his third year of his presidency. Sitcoms are starting to become king. And Michael J Fox, before Back to the Future is even a twinkle is in his eye, capitalizes on this with his TV Show Family Ties about a young conservative son and his ex-hippie parents. In this whirlwind, Tom Hanks guest stars as a Millionaire/Banker/Criminal/Alcoholic. But does it do enough to make it into the coveted Hanks Bank? Listen in to find out.
