Blank Check on Broadway

NRPodcasters, cinephiles, and freaks - rejoice! Blank Check will be returning to Town Hall this summer to commemorate their 10th Anniversary with a long-promised tribute to one of the greatest films in cinema history. To honor their “Decade of Dreams,” hosts Griffin Newman and David Sims cordially invite you to a royal audience with KING RALPH, the 1991 John Goodman / Peter O’Toole comedy that dared to ask, “What if there was a King Ralph?” It will be an evening of reflection, analysis, elaborately produced and adequately-executed royalty-themed bits, and an entire court of special guests. God save our gracious podcast!
