Blank Check with Griffin & David Dr. Strangelove... with Sean Fennessey
02:19:25
Dr. Strangelove's Tonal Uniqueness
- Dr. Strangelove's tonal blend of intelligence, savagery, and humor is difficult to replicate.
- Many filmmakers, like Adam McKay, struggle to achieve this balance, often becoming too serious or too silly.
Kubrick's Seriousness as an Asset
- Stanley Kubrick's lack of inherent humor may be key to Dr. Strangelove's success.
- The film's seriousness enhances the comedic impact.
Mandrake's Understated Humor
- Peter Sellers's portrayal of Mandrake is subtly hilarious.
- His understated performance adds a unique layer of humor.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, Sean Fennessey is finally on our podcast! The Big Picture Pod host joins Griffin and David to talk about Kubrick’s razor-sharp satire, the Peter Sellers tour-de-force that is “Dr. Strangelove”. We’re asking all the questions - Could Sellers have played *every* character in this movie? Is the film paradoxically funnier because Kubrick isn’t really a comedy guy? Would George C. Scott hate this podcast? Would you give “Tom Jones” a middling three stars on Letterboxd? And more!
