BC March Madness 2025 - Day 16

Another close one - Santa wins by a reindeer!

Up today in our final matchup of the first round, we've got Drafters vs. Violators.

It's Kevin Costner Sports Movies vs 90s Indie Comics.

I think this is the first time in human history that the above images were paired together.

With Costner Sports, we'd cover four movies that showcase our guy Kev in his element - being a hot jock:
Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
Tin Cup
Draft Day, starring Griffin Newman

(We would not cover For Love of the Game again because we don't have to)

With 90s Indie Comics, we'd cover six of the scumbummiest 90s movies featuring all of Ben's favorite weird guys:
The Mask
The Crow
Tank Girl
Judge Dredd
Spawn
Dredd
 (which came out in 2012 but David wants to cover it anyway)

So - who is the final contestant to move on to the Sweet Sixteen?

Comments

Knowing that Dredd 2012 will be included makes this a lock for my favorite to win the bracket.

FreakaJebus

Costner sports is a great category. Please bring it back

Will Lipsenthal

Seems like the bad movies are on the other side, imo

Anthony Regina

Always will vote for more Benducer content! Give me a month of porch classics!

Corby Weyhmiller

Bye bye griff

Ian Joshua Postman

We know that’s why we want them

Chloe Jade Skye

They should run it back on Griff’s turf

Snoogens

Shocked Costner isn’t winning. The movies are definitely better. But I’m voting out of pure desire to hear Ben talk more about Violator

Ballytotalfit

Tin cup!!! David Simms+

Sloane

Kevin please come on you guys those are bad movies on the other side

Sloane

Contender for my favorite Costner sports with Tin Cup

Andrew Wyslotsky

I have 0 doubt that Ben dresses as Violator for the Spawn ep if it wins.

Andrew Wyslotsky

Yeah this is a strange choice

Daniel Citron

It’s truly strange that they got Leguizamo to play the clown after Danny Devito passed

Daniel Citron

It kind of kills me, but I have to go with my heart, and my heart is with Tank Girl.

Kerry Benton

No 'McFarland, USA' on the Costner sports list? Shame shame

Alexander Staudinger

I want to go with Costner Sports, because I want a full episode on Draft Day. And an excuse to watch Tin Cup again. But I think this vote was sealed with "scumbummiest."

Kyle Martinak

this one was brutally hard but had to go kevin ... which surprises the comic nerd core in me. But i wanna hear the boys talk Bull Durham and tin cup!

Soup

Sorry. But this one is pretty obvious...

Jordan Bushert

Also not an independent comic. It was a newspaper strip

Daniel Davis

Works better with the 90's Pulp Superhero movies with Dick Tracey, The Shadow etc

Scott Gerrard

In case of emergency: Flagrant Ones did a whole ep on Draft Day with Griffin as a guest.

Will McLaren

For those who want to hear Griffin tell lots of Draft Day stories, check out the ep he did on The Flagrant Ones, they did a whole episode dedicated to the movie.

Will McLaren

No The Phantom?!

Brandon Rust

Costner’d out, thanks

Jack R

No The Art of Racing in the Rain for Costner?

costcohotdog

How the heck is Costner sports not dominating?! Draft Day, baybeeeee

IMDB

oh god I hope 90s comics goes all the way

JC9000

90’s forever

Josh Harvey

And it would be TWO months!!

Chloe Jade Skye

Come on guys, Tin Cup!

Donald W Pratt

90s comics is my juggernaut this year. i can’t see any of them beating it for me.

Liam

If that was on the list, I would’ve chose comic book movies.

Good

TRUE 🤣 but we need more.

Good

Draft day=honorary indie comic

Fresh Dill

Let Malebolgia reign

24HRVideo

MCFARLAND, USA is such an interesting Cosner sports movie!!!

DannyDelBoy

lol poor Griffin

Nate

Please add McFarland USA to the Costner lineup!!!

Danny

Can we add Draft Day to 90’s Indies Comics?

Nicholas Keith

I want both of these series.

Casey Callahan

Does 90s indie comics mean we'd never get a THE CROW Patreon series? Because that series is worth covering.

Richard Barry

Feels bad to vote against a Griff movie, but I simply can't take another full month of Costner.

Charlie Wetherington

This 90s group is strong. Some really fun movies. A bad one with a hundred actor tangents. Comedy and action. Ben choices and a requested addition from David.

Brian Redford

Tragically it appears nerds rule, jocks drool

Graeme Campbell

I would really love a Bull Durham episode one day, that’s ideal for the show as I’m sure the fellas are well aware. I like to think that Costner Sports might have done a little better against a less straight-down-the-middle-for-Blankies opponent, if anything this is a better performance than I thought was possible against 90s indie comics

Rad Rodge

Son, I am disappoint. ("Son" = "Blankies")

Paul Sabourin

This was a tough one.

Joel Gross

Come on, Draft Day is on the board

Trevor Mason

This is criminal

Betty Vaughan Granberg

As much as I want them to cover draft day… the 90’s comics is such a good list

Chad Hemphill

Come on people, James Earl Jones monologuing about baseball!

Charles

I’m voting for 90s comics, but I do want a draft day commentary one day

mikey GOLDSMITH

Tank Girl just for the soundtrack

Harry Blackwood

As much as I'd love to make Griffin cover himself, Spawn rules

Adam Foote

Seconded!

KevynOnVideo

Cannot believe my love of Griffin Newman is such that I just voted for not only Kevin Costner but sports. Woof. On the main though it’s looking good for DEAD ALIVE 😃😃😃the greatest

Hannah K. Garden

Tank girl fucks

mobius

Petition to add Mystery Men to the 90s comics series.

Andrew

guys, gals, and non binary pals how are we passing over listening to them cover a movie Griffen is in?

Matt Miller

THE COFFEE WAS DROPPED... But Dredd is where my heart lies

Brendan Radigan

Field of Dreams is great, but so much so that I feel it’s more main feed than commentary material.

Njord

90s Comics is pure, uncut Benergy. I'm in.

Beardmask

Not enough to sit through Costner baseball & golf movie commentaries

Adam Grzegorczyk

As much as I want a Draft Day ep the other sports movies don't do much for me. A Tank Girl ep on the other hand...

J Em

but tin cup is better than i expected even though it’s about golf?

d p fenn

Victims aren’t we all?

Bonesaw Greene

They should just do a one-off Draft Day commentary honestly, because I do not care about costner or baseball

Josh

Sports is not going to make up its deficit, but it’s definitely the one on the bracket I’m most excited by

Rob Dennis

❤️ 90s indie comic movies 🥵. I would love to see this group go all the way! 🤞

Carolyn

Do people really not want to watch along with griffin watching draft day? Wtf are we doing here people?

Susan Hill

Surely—surely!—there’s been enough Costner talk already.

DJV

This is by far the toughest decision this whole month for me.

Sean C.

At first it felt like a tough call, but I'm holding out hope for Ron Shelton and Phil Alden Robinson to have their own miniseries. White Pods Can't Cast and The Sum of All Podcasts

Pat Johnson

This might be the category I follow all the way. 90s indie comics must be the victor

Michael Birdsall

No mystery men?

Chauncey Telese

I want them to cover Draft Day sometime, but not enough to have to lose the Patreon feed to a series of crappy American sports movies. It's not worth it

Literaltruth

I just need to share that I rejoined the patreon exclusively in order to vote for Lemmon and Matthau and I am now a grumpy old man.

HappyCroc

I just want to make sure everyone knows that coffee spill didn’t make the final cut

Jake Vogt

Dredd 2012 is a perfect movie would love to hear you cover it

Stuart Roth

Bull Durham and Field of Dreams are incredible. Tim Cup is very fun. I haven’t seen Draft Day, but dissecting a big Griffin film would be super interesting. Indie Comics is long and wacky, varying degrees of quality. I say Costner!

Michael Curley

What about Draft Day 2 where they reveal what happened to the carpet after all the coffee that got spilled

Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III

Do you guys not want them to cover Draft Day? I don’t understand

Chris

yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah Dredd (2012) bonus ep

Elizabeth Edwards

Voting for Tank Girl. And because I don’t know or care about Costner or sports.

Anthony Regina

If you want to piss my wife off, just say “Spawn.” We lived in NYC when that came out and it was the first time we spent over $10 per ticket to see a movie. That movie was the worst piece of shit we’d wasted our very little money on.

Jeremiah Drueke

Great point

Zachary Marriott

Voting indie comics, love the line up but you guys gotta have Mystery Men on there

Zak Goldberger

90s indie comics would be a fun exercise that centers on a theme I’d love to hear dissected more—“can Hollywood capture the peculiar zeitgeist of indie comics through the studio system” I’m less intrigued by the common theme of—“can a monotone and stone faced actor convincingly portray more than two or three emotions?”

John Halski

I would like to do the Costner sports movies at some stage, good Sepinwall-adjacent series and the opportunity to cover a Griff movie appearance But that indie comics list looks VERY strong, especially with 2012 Dredd there. Might have a shot of going all the way, like board games last year?

Jon Ryves

release the coffee spill cut

Haley

Voting for Jock Kostner because I have to be true to myself, but I hope the scum bums win

John O'Neill

I'd say they trend more dork than scumbag

Roslyn

I need the draft day commentary

Zach

Insane that Costner isn’t winning in a landslide!!

Dan Fiorentine

I might have went with The Coz until you described the other one as “Scumbummiest”. Let’s get scummy, baby!!!

May

If they had left in the coffee spill, I’m Costner all day. But they didn’t. What a waste.

FatDogDad

SCUM! BUM! SCUM! BUM!

Brit Mullen

Team weird guys plus tank girl. Jersey pride!

big red robot

You know what I’m going Costner! Let’s give super hero talk a break.

Good

How do you not include Mystery Men?!

Lena Delaney

Costner sports gets my vote because David sounded so excited over 90s comics in the last MM update ep that it feels inevitable anyway

Anthony Pierre Coco

But what if it’s Draft Day with Carl and The Boys?

Snoogens

Bulk Durham for David, Draft Day for Griffin, and Field of Dreams to get Ben crying about something sappy. This would be a great addition to our decade of dreams

Anthony Oleszkiewicz

GIMME DAT SCUM

sheabobay

Oh, now this is a tough choice. The Costner films are all classics and the Leo pointing at the screen moment of Draft Day would be incredible. But… the Mask???? Sssssmokin and Ben in the same episode???

Jon Arnold

Like I'm voting for anything except Spawn

Mr Sir

We owe this to Ben

Meghan

Every week a Sophie’s Choice!

Alexis Boursier (Bore-See-A)

DO IT FOR DIRTBIKE BENNY

daddyov2

Hell yeah. Tank girl!
