Description
s Blank Check a transmasc allegory root?? Filmmaker and one of Gabe's besties Carly Usdin to discuss the 90s aspirational children's comedy Blank Check, where a 12 year old boy steals 1 million dollars and goes nuts with toys and ice cream. And also has an adult female love interest. This movie is very, very bad and very, very nostalgic. Carly and Gabe talk about capitalism in 90s movies, the connection between masculinity and money, and how we portray "business" to young kids. What toxic messages did we take in about manhood and money as children?Correction: In this episode, we refer to Rick Ducommun as "the Canadian John Candy." John Candy is also Canadian, making him in fact "the Canadian John Candy."This has been a Noted Bisexual and Diamond MPrint ProductionsProduced by Melisa D.

A Bag Full of Money and a Stun Gun: Another very personal episode featuring Garrett Werner, Gaby's boyfriend (and a comedian in his own right). He tells Gaby that he's never been as worried about her spending herself into oblivion as she thinks he is - in part because he was raised according to a prosperity-first philosophy that he ultimately decided to leave behind. You may not think commodities traders with $80,000 salaries have dark nights of the soul - but Garrett did, and he's never been happier to leave anything behind. He'd prefer that Gaby stop lying to him, though.*Also, classic Gaby: turns out Stanford ISN'T part of the Ivy League? Who knew? by Bad With Money With Gabe Dunn
