BC March Madness 2025 - Day 24
Added 2025-03-24 18:00:14 +0000 UTCThe Hot Monsters Who Fuck shall fuck no more (although Bram Stoker's Dracula is still in play as a main feed selection). Alan Moore moves on to the next round!
In today's match, the final face-off in our Patreon Sweet Sixteen, it's snowin' vs. "ssssssmoookinnnnn"
It's Christmas Coal vs. 90's Indie Comics.
Jacked JK Simmons is very impressive, I must say.
With Christmas Coal, we'd cover four holiday films that rank among the worst of all time:
Santa Claus Conquers the Martians
Santa Claus: The Movie
Fred Claus
Red One
With 90s Indie Comics, we'd cover six of the scumbummiest 90s movies featuring all of Ben's favorite weird guys (and one weird tank gal):
The Mask
The Crow
Tank Girl
Judge Dredd
Spawn
Dredd (which came out in 2012 but David wants to cover it anyway)
Which will be the final franchise to move on to the Elite Eight?
Comments
So say we all!

2025-03-26 04:00:45 +0000 UTCSpawn is a movie i watched a weird number of times because, well, i was 11.
Alexi Belchere
2025-03-26 00:47:15 +0000 UTCDamn I didn’t get to vote for this. Did this one go up late? I feel like they forgot to update it
Chris Lynch
2025-03-25 18:44:12 +0000 UTCCounterpoint: the Cast list is God Tier.
Dave Pallas
2025-03-25 18:05:20 +0000 UTCThat's one of the FINEST non lethal vehicles ever made!
Dave Pallas
2025-03-25 18:03:07 +0000 UTCI voted for 90s comics but I do think Christmas Coal is a strong category and should stay in consideration for the future
Olivia Haidar
2025-03-25 16:05:47 +0000 UTCI wonder if Atlantic David was in the Yemen chat...
Max Birdemic
2025-03-25 15:48:14 +0000 UTCOh shit I missed that round who beat Pulp Heroes!? Ooooh right it was PKD. That's a helluva match up.
Chris Radicone
2025-03-25 15:18:21 +0000 UTCThis one is so obvious. Glad we all agree. Tank Girl alone is enough of a reason to choose 90s indie comics. But each of the movies in that category are all I want to hear them cover.
Alek Gent-Vincent
2025-03-25 15:15:59 +0000 UTCYou should just do Red One as it’s own thing. It’s pure evil, you don’t need a reason.
Dan Ludwig
2025-03-25 14:07:54 +0000 UTCAgreed 💯!
Jamey Bouwmeester
2025-03-25 14:00:40 +0000 UTCThey mentioned in a previous episode that nothing has gotten over 80% yet.
Jamey Bouwmeester
2025-03-25 14:00:02 +0000 UTCI don't know, man. JK is lookin' like a pretty tasty snack up there.
Jamey Bouwmeester
2025-03-25 13:58:27 +0000 UTCChristmas Coal never fails to make me laugh as a category but I'm glad the right choice is winning
Jon Ryves
2025-03-25 12:59:23 +0000 UTCYou could put the Clown from Spawn in that dress, I'm still voting for it over Red One.
Michael Bates
2025-03-25 05:56:30 +0000 UTCMysterymen Comics No. 1 debuted on January 1, 1999
John W
2025-03-25 04:12:41 +0000 UTCAnd it bites all on its own
John W
2025-03-25 04:07:56 +0000 UTCIn these trying times it’s good to know we can still agree on the basics
Moah Nartinez
2025-03-25 03:24:01 +0000 UTCChristmas coal dead in a ditch for real. Red one would be fun but the comics have heaps to talk about
Will McLaren
2025-03-25 03:02:31 +0000 UTCWhat?? No Barb Wire?? Dark Horse classic featuring a future Golden Globe nominee? I'm shocked!
Jonathan
2025-03-25 02:59:54 +0000 UTCWhy is Christmas coal losing?!?
youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper
2025-03-25 02:11:24 +0000 UTCGuaranteed major Ben presence during The Mask, Tank Girl, and Judge Dredd. All three are compatible for a porch watch.
Daniel Buckley
2025-03-25 00:35:28 +0000 UTCYeah Ben loves slow christmas, but my man is gonna marry Tank Girl when he meets her
Benjamin Haworth
2025-03-25 00:19:07 +0000 UTCAs it turns out the image used is everything in these votes
John Paul
2025-03-24 22:58:54 +0000 UTCCameron Diaz in The Mask is top 10 best a human being has ever looked in a movie.
Timothy Wilson
2025-03-24 22:46:58 +0000 UTCwell done, friends.
Liam
2025-03-24 21:22:51 +0000 UTCAh, last week of March, the swallows return to San Juan Capistrano and Blankies ruin everyone's fun.
Marli McElroy
2025-03-24 20:50:04 +0000 UTCThe people who voted for Christmas Coal are Mega-City One level depraved
Sauncho Smilax
2025-03-24 20:47:35 +0000 UTC90's Indie Comics are going all the way baby!
Wyatt Gray
2025-03-24 20:41:15 +0000 UTC90’s comics all day! Although I wouldn’t mind a one off where the just shred red one. Which is, in my opinion, a work of pure evil and a distillation of how big tech is destroying all art and humanity.
Mike Cook
2025-03-24 20:33:03 +0000 UTCFulfill the Tank Girl prophecy
Fred Mercado
2025-03-24 20:28:28 +0000 UTCThis is what happens when the pinned image is Cameron diaz in that dress
Blake Anderson
2025-03-24 20:19:34 +0000 UTC90s Indie Comics is so much more the vibe of the Patreon series. Finally a good result. I’d be happy if this takes it.
Anthony Regina
2025-03-24 20:01:20 +0000 UTCEasiest pick yet.
Div Whateley
2025-03-24 19:47:30 +0000 UTCLmao yeesh what a blowout!
Aaron Shanley
2025-03-24 19:44:11 +0000 UTCI mean, David geeking out about Dredd sounds like a good time to me!
Michael Loiacono
2025-03-24 19:25:54 +0000 UTCYea, he must work out!
David McElroy
2025-03-24 19:25:09 +0000 UTCI know this isn't the place but I just want to hear Griffin scream "I kick podcasts for the Lord!"
Rich
2025-03-24 19:17:53 +0000 UTCI’m starting to feel invested in the Indie Comics taking this thing. What an incredible line up, not just in terms of the movies themselves but the actors behind them and the incredible string of 90s soundtracks. Let’s do this! P-p-p-POW!
John Halski
2025-03-24 19:15:43 +0000 UTCYyyyyyouch! Suck it, Santa!
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
2025-03-24 19:08:54 +0000 UTCWhat about Timecop?
Alexander L Hart
2025-03-24 19:06:08 +0000 UTCWow. This is a beat down. What’s the biggest win ever?
Haze
2025-03-24 19:04:18 +0000 UTCDredd is so much better than expected.
Abe Something
2025-03-24 19:00:46 +0000 UTCIt's from one of the classic b&w indie comics of the 80s & 90s, Flaming Carrot. Just because they weren't the title characters doesn't mean it's not from an indie comic.
Patrick McEvoy
2025-03-24 18:58:36 +0000 UTCDoes it bend the rules? The book (Flaming Carrot) was published during the '90s, and the film is from '99. So it should fit - and be included! :)
Patrick McEvoy
2025-03-24 18:56:36 +0000 UTCNo Krampus? Suck it Santa
jahr
2025-03-24 18:53:49 +0000 UTCThe addition of Dredd makes this a great list... but where in the HECK is Mystery Men? Don't we deserve that one too? And why is it missing? Also, PS: It's a tragedy the Flaming Carrot movie never got made - but at least we got this classic.
Patrick McEvoy
2025-03-24 18:48:26 +0000 UTCI suspect Santa’s gonna get crushed.
Jim Kopeny (Tankboy)
2025-03-24 18:36:48 +0000 UTCWe should! It's a decade of OUR dreams too 😉
Chauncey Telese
2025-03-24 18:36:19 +0000 UTC@Les, it's based on some minor characters from the Flaming Carrot comic - that counts!
TimeGentleman
2025-03-24 18:34:26 +0000 UTCCrumb's not an adaptation. American Splendor is out of decade.
Regis L
2025-03-24 18:31:34 +0000 UTCI think Indie Comics would make for better conversation
Jordan Coleman
2025-03-24 18:30:26 +0000 UTCit's on the list for a sick day, i could see it hitting when be-flu'ed despite my insurmountable early teenage reaction
Regis L
2025-03-24 18:29:54 +0000 UTCYes and we actually need to petition that it gets included
Anthony Pierre Coco
2025-03-24 18:29:52 +0000 UTCThose are Pulp Heroes
Zack Stoudemayer
2025-03-24 18:29:02 +0000 UTCPulp Heroes was another series in the bracket that got beat in round 1. Was Dick Tracy, The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer & The Spirit
Anthony Pierre Coco
2025-03-24 18:28:47 +0000 UTCNo Herkimer Battle Jitney ??!
Sweetjimmyt
2025-03-24 18:28:41 +0000 UTCHow come no Phantom or The Shadow??
Edward Marks
2025-03-24 18:26:46 +0000 UTCStill a good movie.
Chauncey Telese
2025-03-24 18:25:38 +0000 UTCMystery Men belong in 90s indie comics no?
Chauncey Telese
2025-03-24 18:25:19 +0000 UTCHmmm does Crumb fall into the 90's comic book movie bracket??? American Splendor slightly outside of it? Or is this... a hero indie comic bracket.
Alex Firer
2025-03-24 18:23:21 +0000 UTCFor the win
David Rosenblatt
2025-03-24 18:23:21 +0000 UTCI'd love a Santa Claus the Movie commentary (its a VERY strange film), but not enough to also have to deal with Red One and Fred Claus.
John Szolscek
2025-03-24 18:22:51 +0000 UTCwe burned all our clout asking for Mary Reilly and now we don't get Mr Furious or The Sphinx! Shit!
overthebw
2025-03-24 18:22:48 +0000 UTCThey appeared in Flaming Carrot, arguably the 90est of 90s comics though I realize most ppl will be looking for MacFarlane type comics
Scott Marshall
2025-03-24 18:21:58 +0000 UTCChristmas Coals getting a lump of coal from the Check Mates…
Charles
2025-03-24 18:21:13 +0000 UTCChristmas Coal and David Lean atomized by the polls this year.
Tomas Marinara
2025-03-24 18:21:10 +0000 UTCTo quote Our Finest Film Critic: “Hotchie Motchie”
Adam Mincks
2025-03-24 18:20:21 +0000 UTCMystery Men please! We can bend the rules to include this Really Interesting Film.
Blaine Fiedler
2025-03-24 18:19:52 +0000 UTCSCUM-BUM-A-GO-GO, BAYBEEEE
Remy
2025-03-24 18:19:34 +0000 UTCProbably because they saw the movie
Scott Marshall
2025-03-24 18:18:36 +0000 UTCWorth it for the Karl Urban Dredd alone
Scott Marshall
2025-03-24 18:17:53 +0000 UTCThere’s only One vote to make here… gimmie 90s baby!
Reuben
2025-03-24 18:16:11 +0000 UTCAnother petition to add Mystery Men to the 90s Indie Comics series.

David McElroy
2025-03-24 18:13:23 +0000 UTC90s indie comics to win it, all in
Beef Steak Tomato
2025-03-24 18:13:04 +0000 UTCBob Burden dislikes this
Tyler Jennes
2025-03-24 18:11:16 +0000 UTCIt doesn’t have an original comic which I think is a prerequisite.
Les Chappell
2025-03-24 18:11:10 +0000 UTCIf we're sneakin' movies, ya gotta sneak Ghost World in there.
Zwoozy
2025-03-24 18:10:49 +0000 UTCWe're on the same page. Nice, blankies.
Tom
2025-03-24 18:10:31 +0000 UTCI think the problem is it’s not based on an actual comic. :(
Les Chappell
2025-03-24 18:10:18 +0000 UTCThank God
Lukas Ridge
2025-03-24 18:09:49 +0000 UTCIt’s going to stomp everything, I called it from minute one.
Les Chappell
2025-03-24 18:09:41 +0000 UTCGotta keep the Violator bit going. Also, Dredd is easily the best film in this matchup.
Miles Lemaire
2025-03-24 18:09:38 +0000 UTCGood question. Are they saving for the inevitable Kinka Usher main feed series?
Regis L
2025-03-24 18:09:18 +0000 UTCRed one commentary could be an all timer
Andrew Middlebrook
2025-03-24 18:08:42 +0000 UTC90s Indie Comics was definitely under seeded. The selection committee did not not take strength of schedule into account.
Jim B
2025-03-24 18:07:49 +0000 UTCdisappointed to see that nobody wants to bite the bullet on Red One after months of Red One bits
Blake R.
2025-03-24 18:06:31 +0000 UTCGotta add mystery men!
DM
2025-03-24 18:06:24 +0000 UTCmystery men please for 90s indie!
Lena Delaney
2025-03-24 18:05:49 +0000 UTCI've been asking myself this exact thing since they announced the movies for this category.
Andrew Hartsell
2025-03-24 18:05:27 +0000 UTCBegging for a little coal in my stocking
Patrick Fisackerly
2025-03-24 18:05:08 +0000 UTCTank girl took out my last want so I'm here all the way. We can be beautiful! We can be magnificent! We can figure this shit out!!
Sloane

Holden Martinson

Alexi Belchere
2025-03-24 18:04:54 +0000 UTCwhat are the chances we could get Mystery Men in 90s indie comics
jack read
2025-03-24 18:04:06 +0000 UTCSad to see Christmas Coal getting crushed. Santa Claus Conquers the Martians is one of my favorite Christmas films.

Timo Supremo

Misadventureland
2025-03-24 18:03:29 +0000 UTCSorry this is a no brainer. 90s indie comics is god tier selection
Jake Nolan
2025-03-24 18:03:26 +0000 UTCI hope that this is just scorched earth and 90s indie comics has a clean walk to the next round. Easiest vote of the entire month
Harry Kolmer

Del Lorenson
2025-03-24 18:02:46 +0000 UTCWhy not mystery men too if 90s comic indie movies win?
Dave Pallas
2025-03-24 18:02:32 +0000 UTCThe Mask felt MONUMENTAL when it came out when I was 16. I yearn for your reactions.
