BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 19

I scream, you scream, we all scream for SCREAM. Final Destination has finally met its demise.

Up today - Alice & Dorothy.

It's Resident Evil vs World of Oz.

With Resident Evil, we'd cover the six Milla Jovovich / Paul WS Anderson films:
Resident Evil (2002)
Resident Evil: Apocalypse (2004)
Resident Evil: Extinction (2007)
Resident Evil: Afterlife (2010)
Resident Evil: Retribution (2012)
Resident Evil: The Final Chapter (2017)

With WORLD OF OZ, we'd cover five films:
The Wizard of Oz (1939)
The Wiz (1978)
Return
 to Oz (1985)
Wicked (2024)
Wicked: For Good (2025)

We would NOT cover Oz the Great and Powerful because we already did and it was boring.

There's no place like Raccoon City? Or there's no place like home?

... *shifty eyes* ... what? je ne comprends pas.

Maybe the real Resident Evil were the Oz voters we met along the way

Brandon Long

Wow, sometimes you manage to find the most perfect photo for these posts that you possibly could. Absolutely nailed it. Well done.

Div Whateley

What an utter travesty

Olivia Haidar

i might say they are actually ... good

Darby Dixon III

Oz needs to win so we hear David’s multiple takes on New York New York for Oz

Andrew Wertz

inject the return to oz commentary into my veins

Kuba Havelka

I've never gotten around to watching The Wiz and I've heard good things. Voting OZ

Wyatt Gray

RETURN TO OZ

Travis Dunsmuir

PWSA > PTA.

Despairing Radical

BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOM BOOOOOOM

Charles

These are my top 2 in this bracket. Oz will probs lose but they should do it.

overthebw

you subscribe to the patreon but don't listen to the show?

overthebw

the eternal tabernacle won't allow it.

JC9000

too many people voting in these based on a single movie without looking at the other piles of shit we'd get as well. The Wiz? Wicked? (TWICE!?) I want Return to Oz as much as the next dude but not at that cost... sweet jeebus.

JC9000

But the podcasts would be incredible

Michael Hollenbeck

That's where the series becomes truly great

FrivolousFlea

Really have to wonder about the mental health of anyone choosing to make anyone watch Resi 4-6. Those movies need to be kept under quarantine.

Chris Dobson

No one should have to suffer through that

Anthony Strand

I want to watch Return to Oz with Ben on the porch

Heather Robinson

Zardoz should be part of the “World of Oz”

andy

Blank Check is not a bad movie podcast and should not be a bad movie podcast but I can't help pulling for Resident Evil. I guess they're really more "incredibly weird movies" than "bad movies" tho

Jim Mccaffery

A lose lose but l guess Oz

Good

Oh, what a shame

Jake Vogt

Hearing David talk Resident Evil is obviously tempting, but c'mon, everyone: GRIFFIN 'THE WIZ' COMMENTARY! THE CHOICE IS CLEAR!!

Elizabeth Edwards

I get it we are voting for oz to get a whole Paul WS series

Zexyshamen

Jack Pumpkinhead hive assemble! 🎃

Manish Agarwal

Carsten Norgaard seems like a good friend.

Douglas Wykstra

Whole episode on Wheelers and Mombie, please

Lauren Damon

Wonderful

Lauren Damon

Resident Evil is more Oz than Oz.

Andrew McGlennon

Shaking my head at these anti-RE votes.

Holden Martinson

I’m so used to the photoshop posters on the main feed at first glance I thought that was Marie as the witch and immediately went to look at griffins face on Dorothy only to realise it’s a perfectly normal photo

Carl Brown

Can’t wait to ease on down the road

Andrew Wyslotsky

All I hear is blah blah blah RETURN TO OZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ariel Jacobson

Yeah this one is particularly excellent, it had to feel awesome to find out this existed hahaha

Rad Rodge

just remember you are all voting for 5 HOURS of wicked commentary

Aidan

As I said on the previous poll with Oz, you need to do Oz the Great and powerful again. There's still more meat on that bone

Anthony Oleszkiewicz

Blank Check in 2021: We’ll do the Resident Evils when we’re back in studio together. Me in 2025: I’m begging you, please just do the Resident Evils

Alex Thompson

The only thing holding back the RE series is that they don’t include the 2021 WELCOME TO RACOON CITY movie which absolutely rules!!!

Ian Smart

Leon Kennedy is disappointed in all of you and so is the Redfield family. For shame blankies, for shame.

TK

Follow the yellow brick road.

Matt Remmers

My picks are taking an absolute battering this year. It's remarkable how wrong the children are.

zero

I wonder how much of the voting for Resident Evil is driven by people (like me) who were pleasantly surprised by the first one (punching above its weight at a time when those kinds of movies were absolute bottom of the barrel) and that lingered despite the follow-ups being absurdly dumb

Harding Royster

Just realized Muppets Wiz is getting passed on in this collection, but there’s still some great work on here

Harrison Cordle

Your ability to find on topic photos for Patreon match-up is so phenomenal Marie!

Benjamin Haworth

This

Josh Darby

Return to Oz creeps me out more than Rez series. My vote is for creepy 🤨

Scotty B

Yeah good horror games but those movies seem exhausting

John

Great find with that photo for this matchup. Content like this is why I subscribed to this Patreon on day one and have not looked back!

Dan Stadnik

A vote for Res is a vote for Sims losing his mind less than mid-way through. It. Will. Be. Super. Fucking. Funny.

John Dog

While this is another matchup I don't care about, the accompanying picture for this has fried all of my circuits.

Rob Bowman

i'm usually pretty much like "whoever wins we all win" but i am really rooting for a resident evil revival in the voting here

Darby Dixon III

LET'S GO FELLOW OZIANS

Susannah B.

Please just let me watch something stupid after all this Star Trek nonsense

Spencer Pommier

Oz. No contest. I've seen one Resident Evil movie and that was enough.

Devin DiMattia

I don't see either of these going the distance and while the original and The Whiz are great I like tossing the underdog a bone so I am pushing for bones, blood, lasers and chains (there has to be chains somewhere in this series) for our boy Ben. Resident Evil Baby!!!

Chris Radicone

Bring Resident Evil back when Zach Cregger does his

Joshua Siegal

Everyone saying resident evil clearly hasn't seen Return to Oz. It's worth it for this one movie.

Brett

FIRST!

justn

C'mon fam! You can't vote for PTA on main feed but leave PWSA out to dry like this. Think about the great David content we'd get out of Resident Evil!

Benjamin Ogden

Neither is final 4 material, but Resident Evil is pretty close to a normal BC series where a narrative can be threaded, and maturation(or lack thereof) could be discussed. Although, considering the series; this is also a good reason to vote OZ. A plague on both your houses!

Robert Carroll

The choice is clear: one series that has one good movie and a bunch of dreck, or Resident Evil

Olivia Haidar

Do not make me do drugs for the Oz time.

Tom

Shout out to whoever found this photo.

Miles Lemaire

I’m a big ol’ grub and I know what I likes. I’d rather watch Resident Evil movies. Sue me.

Anthony Regina

I would love both series but Oz gets my vote for Return to Oz alone.

Isaac Adams

Resident Evil as an entry in a miniseries of video game adaptations would be fantastic, but I don’t know how much they can really milk out of 6 fairly same-y movies. If I remember, the movies take some pretty odd swings, but not enough for 2 months of episodes.

Kyle Harlan

I am so sick of Oz and all its cronies. Outside of the original classic it's a deeply unfun playground.

Conor Bresnan

Sequels that don't add numbers but just Require You To Know Them are a pox on the world.

heather

get dizzy miss wizzy

Bryn Findlay-Dykes

What are we doing here we don’t need to watch Wicked! PWSA time

Zander

I wanna watch the res evs w my BROS

sheabobay

I demand a Dark Side of the Rainbow episode

Brett Tucker

Resident evil all the way baby

MK

The Resident Evil movies are scary, but did they traumatize an entire generation like Return to Oz?

nick dane

Agreed, I feel like I’m going crazy hearing the universal acclaim

Malcolm

cowards really don't wanna hear david sims talk about video games for ten hours

Rows

A pod about Return to Oz sounds amazing.

Adam Flink

RE movies are just laaaame and repetitive. The first one is the only watchable one

Nick Benson

I mean yeah I agree but if you’re actually watching them, I feel like the RE movies would make for good background chatter that’ll springboard some good conversations and reactions

Dylan C

Can someone PLEASE explain why Grande's performance in Wicked is so critically acclaimed? She was the best part of an otherwise meh movie, but her performance is literally just Cat from Victorious with a lil Mean Girl energy sprinkled in

youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper

I meant of The Wizard of OZ. Resident Evil obviously is built around a gold bug’s view of the world.

Bradley Churton

absolute travesty happening here. AB-SO-LUTE.

dorium

Wizard of Oz, pretty good movie I think

Richard S

WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE??

Lucas Nascimento

Those movies are much more watchable!!!

Alex Firer

I’m taking credit for today’s description, per my comment yesterday

Njord

Not a demand, more of a request for a bonus episode that explores the bimetallism economics that underpin the original story.

Bradley Churton

Take a shot at Village or one of the RE games. Bet that’d be funny.

Haze

HOW DOES OZ HAVE THE LEAD, ARE YOU SERIOUS PEOPLE?!

Dylan C

Come on Resident Evil. Like these are going to insane conversations. You're going to get a lot of Ben reactions

Jordan Coleman

First

lil rob

would love to see the silent oz films too!!!!
