BC March Madness - Day 27
Added 2025-03-27 18:00:13 +0000 UTCThose Muppets, man. They just dropped a house on the Wicked Witch with yesterday's commanding performance! They'll face Philip K. Dick in the Final Four.
Up today: two series that each would include a Vince Vaughn movie nobody likes.
It's Elmore Leonard Adaptations vs. Psycho.
With Elmore Leonard, we'd cover a curated selection of four films:
Get Shorty
Jackie Brown
Out of Sight
Be Cool
With Psycho, we'd cover five films:
PSYCHO (1960)
PSYCHO II (1983)
PSYCHO III (1986)
PSYCHO IV (1990) ** by popular demand
PSYCHO (1998) - the Gus Van Sant remake
Are we keeping it cool with Chili Palmer? Or checking into the Bates Motel?

Christopher Teuma
2025-03-28 03:55:33 +0000 UTCNo interest in Psycho

2025-03-28 02:59:27 +0000 UTCPsycho is so weird and fun, come on!!!!
Matt Kendrick
2025-03-28 02:07:44 +0000 UTCMajorly bummed to see all the horror franchises get boxed out. It's gonna be Muppets and I'll be happy but I won't sleep right till I hear the boys riff on some freaky shit
Josh Burcham
2025-03-28 01:39:20 +0000 UTCAdd Schraders weird indie Touch to the Elmore Leonard list?
D
2025-03-28 00:55:21 +0000 UTCAnd that’s not even including the westerns
Njord
2025-03-28 00:54:32 +0000 UTCThere are zero uninteresting options here.
Njord
2025-03-28 00:53:29 +0000 UTCI think Andre 3000 and Cedric the Entertainer are both legitimately great as well. The rest is…well…
Eric McKay
2025-03-27 23:06:55 +0000 UTCThat’s just too much Trump supporter Vince Vaughn for me.
Danielle
2025-03-27 22:38:21 +0000 UTCAck! I feel as though my heart’s being stabbed TWICE today!
KevynOnVideo
2025-03-27 22:22:35 +0000 UTCLet's get crazy, let's get Psycho.
Wyatt Gray
2025-03-27 22:08:23 +0000 UTCThe people want Elmore!
Garrett Swaney
2025-03-27 22:06:56 +0000 UTCWe could've had Psycho v Muppets. Now we'll never know.
Christopher Teuma
2025-03-27 22:03:56 +0000 UTCCertainly a little of the motivation behind my vote. It feels like they’re gonna put off a Tarantino series for as long as absolutely possible
Ginger’s Boyfriend Matt
2025-03-27 21:51:04 +0000 UTCIf we aren’t getting Soderbergh on main, let’s get Out of Sight on Patreon!
Mickey Pearson
2025-03-27 21:43:36 +0000 UTCVoted for the underdog here
Chris Radicone
2025-03-27 21:35:01 +0000 UTCThe Psycho sequels are just such perfect commentary material...
Kane Lynch
2025-03-27 20:50:10 +0000 UTCI'm so torn... I wonder how much of elmore winning is just so we'll get some QT talk on the pod
Ian
2025-03-27 20:46:58 +0000 UTCCome on, don’t tell me we browbeat the gang into including Psycho IV just to immediately lose! Psycho series is so interesting! There are two great movies! One is among the best and most influential horror films of all time. We have maybe the first legasequel ever and it whips ass! An incredible sleazy slasher film directed by the series star! An interesting and entertaining TV movie with a terrific cast directed by a horror stalwart! And the most bizarre failed blank check remake of all time! It’s a perfect series for the pod.
Erik Wacker
2025-03-27 20:23:51 +0000 UTCI can't believe Rocky lost just for it's opponent to be taken out by the least interesting thing on the bracket
Ben Walkup
2025-03-27 19:51:47 +0000 UTCThis is some intense imagery, not to point out the obvious about imagery containing Vince Vaughn
Rad Rodge
2025-03-27 19:28:45 +0000 UTCI think y’all are not anticipating how angry you are going to get when they are talking about Alto Knights during some big scene in Jackie Brown. Have to vote for the series the accommodates the inevitable chaos of these commentaries.
Misadventureland
2025-03-27 19:21:36 +0000 UTCNot this crowd. They like the muppets too much.
Abe Something
2025-03-27 18:53:34 +0000 UTCBut those melons, tho
Darby Dixon III
2025-03-27 18:52:47 +0000 UTCHere’s the Psycho pitch: Psycho: A classic! Psycho 2: One of the saddest horror movies ever made! Psycho 3: Perkins directing! He goes off the chain! Psycho IV: Henry Thomas as young Norman Bates! Psycho: Gus Van Sant! Steven Soderbergh made his own cut combining the remake and the original!
Danny
2025-03-27 18:52:42 +0000 UTCElmore Leonard had way more adaptations - what about adding some more films from the 70s and 80s?
Jaffer Batica
2025-03-27 18:50:56 +0000 UTCOh, looks like I don't need to actually snag 52 PICK-UP or MR MAJESKYK in the current Kino sale.
Benjamin Russell
2025-03-27 18:50:46 +0000 UTCI think psycho would be more fascinating just because of Anthony Perkins... but not mad about Leonard winning
Nick Benson
2025-03-27 18:46:00 +0000 UTCPsycho is genuinely a bonkers fest and you guys are going to feel sad if it loses
Dr Worm
2025-03-27 18:45:23 +0000 UTCCouple of hey makers in this matchup, would be pretty happy with either
Brett Tucker
2025-03-27 18:39:58 +0000 UTCThe Rock gave a wonderful comedic performance in that film. It’s too bad he decided shortly thereafter that he would only take roles that he believed made him look cool and awesome.
Patrick McEvoy
2025-03-27 18:35:36 +0000 UTCDo you guys hate horror 😭
Jesse Isaak
2025-03-27 18:33:02 +0000 UTCSymptoms include- Chilly outside. Chili inside. It's a regular fuckin' chili-fest. Prescription -Hey, waiter, give Mr. Chili Pepper a big fuckin' bowl of chili!
Del Lorenson
2025-03-27 18:30:52 +0000 UTCOk but after he passed we have no way of making any more of the vaccine
Harding Royster
2025-03-27 18:24:39 +0000 UTCFarina Fever, catch it!
Del Lorenson
2025-03-27 18:22:09 +0000 UTCPsycho is sooo much more interesting than Leonard :(
youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper
2025-03-27 18:21:56 +0000 UTCJust throw in Big Trouble, it’s basically an Elmore Leonard rip off. Nobody is going to notice.
SpaceCoyote
2025-03-27 18:20:19 +0000 UTCThree huge directors are in this category, but it’s fine because I think The Mask is taking the bracket.
Alex Firer
2025-03-27 18:16:43 +0000 UTCFIRST!
justn
2025-03-27 18:15:15 +0000 UTCI was a bit torn cuz I assume they’re gonna cover Tarantino and soderbergh at some point. So I think it’s gotta be Psycho!
Mark
2025-03-27 18:13:05 +0000 UTCVery lame
CT13
2025-03-27 18:11:51 +0000 UTCI’m rooting for Elmore Leonard because I believe there are performances in Be Cool that are worth admiring.
Eric McKay
2025-03-27 18:11:15 +0000 UTCwe need to go psycho mode
Cain Rodriguez
2025-03-27 18:09:07 +0000 UTCVoted for Psycho, feel like most of those Leonard adaptations will be handled in the main feed eventually.
Patrick
2025-03-27 18:08:04 +0000 UTCYou know, in a situation like this, there’s a high potentiality for the common motherfucker to bitch out. Vote Elmore.
Ryan Ambrose
2025-03-27 18:07:17 +0000 UTCBased on Directors, I would think that at least half of the Elmore Leonard series could be main feed. I don’t think that might be true for Psycho.
Christopher Weithers
2025-03-27 18:07:03 +0000 UTCI'm BEGGING for psycho! Vote for Bates!
Josh Burcham
2025-03-27 18:06:50 +0000 UTCI'd rather a mix bag of movies then the same type for weeks on end
Evan
2025-03-27 18:06:11 +0000 UTCid like to see either TRY and beat my 90s scumbums!!!
sheabobay
2025-03-27 18:06:00 +0000 UTCI know there's a lot of Elmore Leonard adaptations, but could Life of Crime really not fit in? It is technically a prequel to Jackie Brown.
niiku
2025-03-27 18:04:30 +0000 UTCPsycho is just too weird to deny
Rory Dunn
2025-03-27 18:04:02 +0000 UTCIt's chilly outside and it's Chili inside. It's a regular fucking chili-fest.
colony of birchmen
2025-03-27 18:03:55 +0000 UTCYeaaaah neither of these are winning the whole thing I’m sorry
Jake Nolan
2025-03-27 18:03:33 +0000 UTCPsychos unite!
Miles Lemaire
2025-03-27 18:03:21 +0000 UTCIf Elmore Leonard wins, which I hope is the case, can you see if Chris Ryan is available for one of the episodes?
