BC March Madness 2025 - Day 25
Added 2025-03-25 18:00:15 +0000 UTCWow, what a blowout! 90s Indie Comics looks like the franchise to beat this year!
Speaking of, here's where we stand on Patreon as we begin the Elite Eight:
Our first Elite Eight match features BLONDE BOBS!
It's Philip K. Dick Adaptations vs. Scream.
With Philip K. Dick, we'd cover six films:
Blade Runner
Paycheck
A Scanner Darkly
Next
The Adjustment Bureau
Blade Runner 2049
With Scream, we'd cover six films:
Scream (1996)
Scream 2 (1997)
Scream 3 (2000)
Scream 4 (2011)
Scream (2022)
Scream VI (2023)
Which franchise will be the first to move on to the Final Four?

Motion to add screamers to the Philip K dick list

2025-03-29 02:13:51 +0000 UTCThis march madness is not going my way, exactly. Not here, not on main feed 😭
Steve Geiler
2025-03-26 17:55:23 +0000 UTCInsane. That’s all I’ll say. Anything else I’d say would just be mean.
Anthony Regina
2025-03-26 17:38:46 +0000 UTCDick all the way for me
Gibboanxious
2025-03-26 14:47:26 +0000 UTCFinal destination was better
Josh Burcham
2025-03-26 13:54:29 +0000 UTCToo…many…Dick jokes… Can’t…pick…one…
The Mad Jay Woman
2025-03-26 13:47:58 +0000 UTCGod help us. The Muppets just aren't worth that much air time.
Abe Something
2025-03-26 12:41:15 +0000 UTCC’mon, Scream’s so good
PolterZeitgeist
2025-03-26 11:20:10 +0000 UTCWish this was going the other way. Scream would make far better commentaries imo. Plus horror is very underrepresented on the Patreon feed.
Curt Weiler
2025-03-26 06:01:04 +0000 UTCI voted for Scream because, A) I just did a rewatch and all I could think about is what can BC add. B) And it would alot of fun because they're incredibly watchable and they're likely going to drop around Halloween. BUT PKD along with Vonnegut was my shit when I was a wee teen. And PKD has some killer options I'd love for them to discuss...especially A Scanner Darkly. I've read about 75% of his short stories and books, even his non science fiction books like Voices from the Street so I have a massive soft spot (hard-on?) for some Dick, so while I want Scream I am not sad to see PKD move on. ...even if it mean Adjustments Bureau
Chris Radicone
2025-03-26 04:45:48 +0000 UTCI’m not happy about this state of affairs but it does seem clear that 90s comics was the only entrant that would’ve been able to win
Rad Rodge
2025-03-26 04:24:17 +0000 UTCIf Dick wins they should do DICK (1999) as a bonus
Matthew Cramer
2025-03-26 04:14:19 +0000 UTCAt this point, there are more men name Peter than women in the main feed
Katrina Yeaw
2025-03-26 04:08:19 +0000 UTCSame! Toughest match yet for me.
Shannon Hayes
2025-03-26 03:21:38 +0000 UTCI think it’s going to end in Muppets or Dick. I don’t think anything on the right beats muppets or dick
oddbill
2025-03-26 03:08:44 +0000 UTCeverybody loves the scream series. i don’t get it. the dick series is much more interesting.
Robert Clouse
2025-03-26 02:29:36 +0000 UTCThis was not easy for me.
Kibblesmith
2025-03-26 00:00:10 +0000 UTC😱🔪😢
Manish Agarwal
2025-03-25 23:06:39 +0000 UTCY'all should have voted Elm Street.
Devin
2025-03-25 22:53:09 +0000 UTCOh man the Adjustment Bureau goddamn
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
2025-03-25 22:46:06 +0000 UTCGimme some Dick!
Patrick Clawson
2025-03-25 22:13:14 +0000 UTCWasting Griffin and David’s time on 4 commentaries no one will listen to is a good bit.
JP
2025-03-25 22:06:34 +0000 UTCWell, I wanted Muppets to beat whatever won here anyway. I think we’re looking at Muppets vs 90s Indie Comics final.
Michael Curley
2025-03-25 21:59:07 +0000 UTCPKD got way too close to winning last time it was up. It kind of says something about the podcast listeners how March madness used to be won by more surprise series that hadn't been talked to death and now it's stuff like Kubrick and making people suffer through a bunch of bad movies to hear bladerunner be talked about for the eight billionth time. I really hope something more fun wins.
Max
2025-03-25 21:59:06 +0000 UTCDon't worry. Dick is not winning the whole tournament. '90s comics are strong. '90s comics will prevail
Harry Kolmer
2025-03-25 21:25:45 +0000 UTCI need THE comeback of the tourney
Rick Devine
2025-03-25 21:24:49 +0000 UTCWhat’s wrong with y’all?
Good
2025-03-25 21:15:02 +0000 UTCScream
Seth Lambert
2025-03-25 21:03:47 +0000 UTCThis sucks. It’s just like two years ago.
Andrew Newbury
2025-03-25 20:54:29 +0000 UTCVote for Scream! You know that the career tangents will be incredible - Timothy Olyphant, Laurie Metcalf Parker Posey…

Blaine Fiedler
2025-03-25 20:30:50 +0000 UTCThis is a vote to subject my favorite podcast hosts to The Adjustment Bureau.
Reese Wallace
2025-03-25 20:28:03 +0000 UTCUnfortunately this community doesn’t really like horror or comedy
Jason Feffer
2025-03-25 19:57:42 +0000 UTC[Reservoir Dogs how many dicks is that gif]
Aaron Rabiroff
2025-03-25 19:56:09 +0000 UTCI’m sure Griffin has some thoughts on Scream 4
Josh8N
2025-03-25 19:53:22 +0000 UTCShit it's going to be Alan Moore vs 90's Comics!? Damn I thought we had more time.... My pre-dick-tion is Dick vs. 90's Comics in the finals.
Chris Radicone
2025-03-25 19:47:18 +0000 UTCSSSSSCCCRRRRREEAAAAAMMMMM
David Rosenblatt
2025-03-25 19:46:22 +0000 UTCBoth of these would be great, I went with Scream because I could see them getting around to the other ones at some point and I don't know if I can say that about Scream
Jimmy Olofsson
2025-03-25 19:44:42 +0000 UTCAnyone else not really excited for them to have double episodes on a Ridley and a Villeneuve? Those movies make for better main feed episodes than live commentary for me, especially compared to Scream.
Jake Hyslop
2025-03-25 19:41:40 +0000 UTCScream has more variety than it’s getting credit for, and it’s past time for a good horror series! Vote Scream!
Tony Wagner
2025-03-25 19:41:21 +0000 UTCStoked this is the end of the line for Scream. It dampens the viability of a Wes Craven series and tbh it's got diminishing returns with every installment.
bearisonford
2025-03-25 19:35:47 +0000 UTCNOOOOOO SCREAM MUST WIN I PAID FOR THIS!!!!!!
Turner Miller
2025-03-25 19:32:51 +0000 UTCspeaking of Paycheck, whatever happened to that American Woo series?
overthebw
2025-03-25 19:30:53 +0000 UTCWe need a Horror series! Griffin has been fed enough Sci Fi for the next 2 fricken years - and we can’t have him talk about toys!
Myles McHale
2025-03-25 19:16:42 +0000 UTCThis one is agony. I've been pulling for both of these for a few years, but I think a Wes Craven series would be better anyway.
Kyle Martinak
2025-03-25 19:15:52 +0000 UTCScream would be the best mini series ever. I don’t know why it never moves on.
Michael Hollenbeck
2025-03-25 19:12:27 +0000 UTCThat Dick make me Scream
John
2025-03-25 19:02:16 +0000 UTCseriously!
kevinasarobot
2025-03-25 19:00:56 +0000 UTCY’all are anti-fun huh?
Brandon Skidmore
2025-03-25 19:00:23 +0000 UTCI love Dick!
Jack R
2025-03-25 18:57:53 +0000 UTCgood movies for main feed episodes but not sure it's really what I want from the commentaries
Jon Ryves
2025-03-25 18:57:03 +0000 UTCI mean, to quote Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter in Crimson Tide, I cannot concur
Rad Rodge
2025-03-25 18:55:21 +0000 UTCI can only accept these results if we eventually get a Wes Craven series
Anthony Barstow
2025-03-25 18:50:16 +0000 UTCglad the dick series is a reasonable length, wouldn't want too long of a dick series, i feel at home with a shorter dick series come to think of it.
David McElroy

jahr
2025-03-25 18:46:49 +0000 UTCOne day I would like a scream
Chris Lynch
2025-03-25 18:45:04 +0000 UTCDamn, this is a tough choice, but I'm glad Dick is winning so far
Evan
2025-03-25 18:42:06 +0000 UTCVariety = good episodes but bad commentaries. They lose the through line that makes the show interesting. Vote for Scream!
Anthony Oleszkiewicz
2025-03-25 18:41:41 +0000 UTCWatching the SCREAM Franchise sounds fun, but DICK provides so much variety. I vote DICK.
Wyatt Gray
2025-03-25 18:32:48 +0000 UTCidk which series but shoulda been in one of them
Max Birdemic
2025-03-25 18:30:06 +0000 UTCHORSE! LOVER! FAT!!
Begemott
2025-03-25 18:29:18 +0000 UTCI really want a Scream series but Philip K Dick just better and more interesting
Chloe Jade Skye
2025-03-25 18:25:26 +0000 UTCDamn it I’m going to get them to cover BR2049 one way or another!
Paul Brown
2025-03-25 18:21:35 +0000 UTCCan I come with you?
Thaine Smith
2025-03-25 18:20:32 +0000 UTCNeed BR2049 because I'm desperate for just a crumb of Villeneuve talk
Eric

Bryn Findlay-Dykes
2025-03-25 18:19:54 +0000 UTCPhillip Dick is the most boring of all the remaining options
Anthony Pierre Coco
2025-03-25 18:19:43 +0000 UTCHow could you forget the 1995 classic Screamers? Based on Dick's short story, Second Variety.
Thaine Smith
2025-03-25 18:16:05 +0000 UTCScreamers please!! With your boy Peter Weller!
Constantinos Symeonides
2025-03-25 18:15:54 +0000 UTCHere’s my hot take — Griffin should watch them before. Ultimately they are murder mysteries and a lot of the metatextual observations are done via dialog. I think it’ll be very hard to track while watching for the first time. Especially if then David has to be coy on who the killer is.
Austin Lugar
2025-03-25 18:15:47 +0000 UTCI just haven't understood the Philip k. Dick phenomenon this year. You'll get the only two good movies in that bunch in eventual director series. Are there just that many adjustment bureau heads?
Eloy Martinez
2025-03-25 18:15:24 +0000 UTCWe are forgetting Griffin hasn’t seen many Screams!! Always great stuff
Kyle Milner
2025-03-25 18:13:19 +0000 UTCFIRST!
justn
2025-03-25 18:11:49 +0000 UTCThis is genuinely a hard one for me: the Dick Flicks are great, but honestly the movies I actually want to pay attention to aren't the best commentaries (imo) Meanwhile, Scream is also a decent set of movies and there's so much commentary about the history of horror/film in there, but if the guys don't know that without research they could just be reacting to kills
Andy C
2025-03-25 18:11:25 +0000 UTCDICK! DICK!
Josh B
2025-03-25 18:10:07 +0000 UTCI hate everybody.

The Real Stevie Lew
2025-03-25 18:09:24 +0000 UTCScreaming for a good Dickin'
RosieOGravy
2025-03-25 18:09:17 +0000 UTCScream!!! An interesting franchise when you look at the meta horror commentary
John Millsap
2025-03-25 18:08:24 +0000 UTCIs it too late to petition for "Screamers" to be added to the Dick adaptation list? Peter Weller is in it, so lots of room for Robocop tangents.
Brian Henchey
2025-03-25 18:07:59 +0000 UTCI hope the guys get stoned before watching a scanner darkly. It would be horrible for the listener, but it would blow their miinndddsss
Carolyn
2025-03-25 18:06:50 +0000 UTCLiz Phair? Is that you?
Scott Marshall
2025-03-25 18:06:29 +0000 UTCI wish there was a way to see the French adaptation of Confessions of a Crap Artist easily. I used to have a VHS of it, dunno if it’s ever been released digitally. It’s better than most of the PKD SF adaptations.

Barry Wigham
2025-03-25 18:04:30 +0000 UTCAfter scream beat Final destination this is a welcome victory. As long as pkd doesn't beat Psycho that is...
Josh Burcham
2025-03-25 18:04:26 +0000 UTCBy far my hardest choice so far
Aric Yakel-Kuntz
2025-03-25 18:04:25 +0000 UTCScream works much better as mainline eps with a dossier than comms. They're such a crucial part of Craven's second and third act as a filmmaker, commentaries would not do them justice. 3 can't be a commentary, that needs a 27 page dossier
Mike Finnerty
2025-03-25 18:04:08 +0000 UTCScream is good. Dick is better.
Nick Benson
2025-03-25 18:04:07 +0000 UTCPhil your Dicks, you SONOFABITCH!
