Lucky Numbers with Alex Ross Perry

Blank Check Productions
About this episode

It’s an extra-sized episode featuring director Alex Ross Perry for this strange film about lotteries or something. Which Seinfeld characters are the Two Friends, Ben, and Ang? What awesome tidbits did Alex pick up from the Lucky Numbers commentary? What are the merits of the films of all the other Friends (from Friends)?


The Seinfeld theme is composed by Jonathan Wolff
