Is Blank Check a transmasc allegory root?? Filmmaker and one of Gabe's besties Carly Usdin joins 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.

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 Productions Produced by Melisa D.

We get deeply magical this week as we lean into the feelings part of the podcast with Moon Studio's Sarah Faith Gottesdiener.
