Which blank check directors should the two friends NOT cover?

I was listening to The Holiday episode (great ep, can't say the same for the movie because I've never seen it) and all the Wallach bits got me thinking "Hey, has there even been talk of covering Sergio Leone?" And I check the Reddit and realize he was in a past MM bracket, and then discover that his filmography is much shorter than I thought it was (only eight films) and I think "What a great pick!"

Then I reflect on it a bit more. While there might be some interesting discussion about his two early sword and sandals movies, and the final Once Upon a Time in America discussion would certainly be a trip, the middle would probably get...pretty same-y? Same genre, similar cast, similar plots, same setting, etc etc. Granted, there could be a ton of \*context\* I'm not aware of, but it seems like it would not be the best mini.

So, Leone ticks all the boxes of a great Blank Check director, but the actual content of his work might not make a great series.

Who are other directors like this? Great Blank Check candidates that you hope they DON'T cover. These have to be directors that 1) received a blank check 2) did not do something horrible 3) don't have overly long filmographies 4) have not been "covered to death" on other pods, or any of the other frequently-mentioned legitimate disqualifiers. Directors who make you think "I could totally see them covering X, but I sure hope they don't."
