BC March Madness 2025 - Day 13
Added 2025-03-13 18:00:09 +0000 UTCOoooh boy, another close one! Norman Bates knocks out Rocky Balboa to move on to the next round.
Up today - two brand new series entering the tournament this year! It's Morbin' time....
It's Sony's Spider-Man Universe vs. Sony's Hot Monsters Who Fuck.
With Sony Spider-Man Universe, we'd cover the six films Sony made after signing away the Spider-Man rights to Marvel/Disney:
Venom
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Morbius
Madame Web
Venom: The Last Dance
Kraven the Hunter
With Sony's Hot Monsters Who Fuck, we'd cover the three films released by Sony/Columbia in the early 90s that were very Serious adaptations of classic monsters. And they're sexy (??):
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Wolf
Does Amy Pascal's web connect us all? Who can say!!

2025-03-15 16:10:19 +0000 UTCSony Spider-Man is interesting but monsters would make for better discussion
David McCallum
2025-03-14 17:41:13 +0000 UTCFew monsters that'll really fuck but it's not enough
Roslyn
2025-03-14 17:32:57 +0000 UTCWhat are they going to say? "Wow this sucks! Yep. We'll talk about it. Hand me my bagel twist."?
Rich
2025-03-14 17:19:34 +0000 UTCLet the monsters do it.
Grant Brunner
2025-03-14 16:49:50 +0000 UTCSony spider man is my vote to win the whole thing! The Venom movies alone would be a good franchise for the watch along format. Add to that the camp of Madame Web and Russel Crowe and ATJ serving hunt? It would be a blast
Kenneth Chambers
2025-03-14 16:46:45 +0000 UTCMonsters!!!!!
Fred
2025-03-14 16:26:51 +0000 UTCSony Spider-Man sounds like such a nightmare
Jason Duval

justn
2025-03-14 16:15:12 +0000 UTCGuys we NEED the monsters, please!
Kayla Pate
2025-03-14 16:07:32 +0000 UTCAs Leo Carpazzi would say its a Monster Fuck
Zexyshamen
2025-03-14 16:03:33 +0000 UTCPretty hot take. Kraven is good and Aaron Taylor Johnson should be Bond.
Haze
2025-03-14 14:53:06 +0000 UTCMCU was their best commentary series. SPUMC all the way
Liam Penton
2025-03-14 13:40:43 +0000 UTCAdd Mary Reilly!!
Lena Delaney
2025-03-14 08:51:50 +0000 UTCHold the line fuck monsters!
Roslyn
2025-03-14 07:51:26 +0000 UTCI’d like to see Weir and/or Coppola on main feed, but I’m voting fuck-monsters anyway because I’m not slogging through those Venom movies
Liam Palmer
2025-03-14 06:20:40 +0000 UTCCould not have said it better
Liam Palmer
2025-03-14 06:15:59 +0000 UTCNeed those monsters
Caleab Wyant
2025-03-14 05:28:46 +0000 UTCRewatched it recently, somehow I had forgotten about Glenn Close being beheaded. What a wild movie.
Morgan Marshall
2025-03-14 05:28:03 +0000 UTCSame!!!
Daniel Stonebraker
2025-03-14 05:13:07 +0000 UTCI just think the monsters are going to be way more fun to discuss. Go monsters!
John W
2025-03-14 05:12:10 +0000 UTCHard agree
Zwoozy
2025-03-14 02:41:22 +0000 UTCThis is a VERY good suggestion
Zwoozy
2025-03-14 02:39:56 +0000 UTCThose movies are so bad omg
Good
2025-03-14 01:26:57 +0000 UTCThe Sony SUPERHERO movies are painfully slow boring and not worth a few months of this pod. The only reason l didn’t walk out of the venoms movies because my little siblings love it.
Good
2025-03-14 01:24:30 +0000 UTCIf those spidey less movies win I will get a couple of months of my life back not listening.

Zack McGhee
2025-03-13 23:50:24 +0000 UTCThis is a phenomenal pairing
maplejuris
2025-03-13 23:38:57 +0000 UTC*whispers* Mary Reilly
maplejuris
2025-03-13 23:38:30 +0000 UTCThis is the hardest decision yet.
Div Whateley
2025-03-13 22:59:46 +0000 UTCPleeeeease I must listen to commentaries of the Sony Spiderman clusterf*ck pleeeeeeease!!!
Chloe Jade Skye
2025-03-13 22:41:20 +0000 UTCWe gotta get Morb, Madame, and most importantly Dan on the commentary feed. Vote Sony Spideyless-verse
Davis Telleen
2025-03-13 22:17:11 +0000 UTCI don’t understand why Mary Reilly is not included in Sony Monsters when it is clearly part of the series
Oliver Scott
2025-03-13 22:12:40 +0000 UTCI encourage everyone to google what Gary Oldman looks like in Dracula and then ask yourself, how can I vote against this campy fuckable masterpiece
Jamie
2025-03-13 22:11:51 +0000 UTCThe venom movies tho? Middling efforts need to be investigated thouroughly. Like an Eddie Brock report.
Will McLaren
2025-03-13 22:09:44 +0000 UTCHDTGM don’t get into the industry machinations like the two friends do. Also the venom movies aren’t even bad enough for them to cover. They are the perfect level of movies that did well but kinda don’t exist. Those are fun to discuss.
Will McLaren
2025-03-13 22:07:03 +0000 UTCDisagree. There is so much weirdness there to talk about. So many big name actors in a fumbled attempt at a cinematic universe. Jelly this is not.
Will McLaren
2025-03-13 22:00:52 +0000 UTCBruh, Sony spider-man would be so good. Modern blockbusters that are weird/don’t exist make for great convos
Will McLaren
2025-03-13 21:56:33 +0000 UTCI feel like lots of you are missing the fact that these monsters are not only hot, but also they fuck.
Chris Bench
2025-03-13 21:43:24 +0000 UTCAgree about the No Spidey movies and that’s why they will be wonderful watchalongs!
James manning
2025-03-13 21:26:23 +0000 UTCMe too. I think I've maybe picked one winner in this entire first round so far.
Devin
2025-03-13 21:19:23 +0000 UTCThey should just do Interview with the Vampire if hot monsters win. The hottest of monsters.
itsyourcousinstjean
2025-03-13 21:13:40 +0000 UTCHMWF seems a little thin, opting for Morbin time
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
2025-03-13 20:56:43 +0000 UTCThe first Venom is almost aggressively fine and carried by Hardy. Otherwise you are pretty much on the money
Winson Paine
2025-03-13 20:54:39 +0000 UTCThis is the first showdown where I actually hope both options lose.
Brennan Loptien
2025-03-13 20:51:57 +0000 UTCThey have guests on commentaries once in a blue moon, I would vote making the assumption there will be no guests because that is almost always the case
Zak Goldberger
2025-03-13 20:51:09 +0000 UTCThe *best* Dracula
Anthony Regina
2025-03-13 20:49:01 +0000 UTCThis is perfectly said. The Connoisseurs of Context are much better suited at talking about this weird moment in monster movies.
Anthony Regina
2025-03-13 20:47:44 +0000 UTCThis was close for me, but went with SPSPUM as it's more content and the movies are hilariously awful, as opposed to just three good-to-mediocre movies.
TimeGentleman
2025-03-13 20:47:33 +0000 UTCHmm two good monster movies vs. six bad Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movies that, contrary to what people will tell you, aren’t even good-bad to watch. The only reason this is 50/50 is because people are mistaken about how lousy those No Spidey movies are. These aren’t The Room or Neil Breen. They’re contractually obligated corporate slop.
Anthony Regina
2025-03-13 20:44:52 +0000 UTCThis has been the MM that shows how disjointed my tastes are with the rest of the Blankies. Smexy Monsters ftw
Dylan Murray
2025-03-13 20:24:33 +0000 UTCIt was a graveyard fuck. Those Monsters sucked and then fucked.
Rob Bliss
2025-03-13 20:15:18 +0000 UTCFeels like Van Helsing should also be included in the hot monsters? I know it’s not Sony bur come on!
Kyle Milner
2025-03-13 19:49:44 +0000 UTCI want them to be locked in. It’s always kinda a bummer when it’s a slog.
Daniel Citron
2025-03-13 19:46:27 +0000 UTCWow, how is this even close? Monsters need to fuck, don’t deprive us of this. That’s a rough two months of non-Spidey
Big Guy
2025-03-13 19:18:40 +0000 UTCBlankies, a Sony Spider-Man series will sputter out like Jelly did! It won't be as fun as you think!!
Jeff Burnett
2025-03-13 19:16:38 +0000 UTCITS MORBIN TIME
Spencer Asmann
2025-03-13 19:13:46 +0000 UTCSony Shitterverse for the win, the ADR jokes in Morbius and Madame Web alone will be worth it.
Anthony D’Elia
2025-03-13 19:06:22 +0000 UTCShould "Mary Reilly" also be included in Sony hot monsters who fuck since it's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
Joseph
2025-03-13 19:04:42 +0000 UTCthese people dont want to see frankenstein's hog, fake fans
Aidan
2025-03-13 19:02:25 +0000 UTCLove Dracula production design, loathe "so bad it's good" jokes, vote books.

Rad Rodge
2025-03-13 18:55:37 +0000 UTCWhat is this, a crossover episode?!?!?
Erin
2025-03-13 18:55:13 +0000 UTCAn excruciating choice between excellent options
Thomas Cromwell
2025-03-13 18:54:42 +0000 UTCYeah truly, I think she maybe has to be there, especially given the limited Julia Roberts discussion on the program up to this point
Rad Rodge
2025-03-13 18:53:04 +0000 UTCI don’t know what to do here, but I see a potential opportunity to crossover with Screen Drafts’ “Kravin’ Kraven” content and that is a pleasing thought.
Stephanie Lambrenos
2025-03-13 18:50:33 +0000 UTCSeeing them lined up like that, I’m realizing I’ve only seen the first and last, Venom and Kraven, and this would give me a reason to watch the shit in between
Turner Miller
2025-03-13 18:49:14 +0000 UTCLet’s go hot monsters!!
Hannah K. Garden
2025-03-13 18:47:13 +0000 UTCAdd Mary Reilly!

Nick Domino
2025-03-13 18:46:27 +0000 UTCMary Reilly HAS to be included in the Hot Monsters roster.
Njord

2025-03-13 18:39:19 +0000 UTCThe venom movies are cool but I can’t listen to any more superhero movies I’m so sorry
Tess Cat
2025-03-13 18:39:15 +0000 UTCif they want to find guests for all of these movies who won't turn them into episodes of How Did This Get Made i'm all for it but sounds like a lot of effort (and part of the reason i love the commentaries is it's a great time to hang out just with the gang)
jack read
2025-03-13 18:38:55 +0000 UTCPoor Mary Reilly didn’t get invited to the Hot Monster party
Tyler Wynkoop

David McElroy
2025-03-13 18:38:11 +0000 UTCsomeday it will be Morbin’ Time, but not today. I need those monsters to FUCK
Azar
2025-03-13 18:37:56 +0000 UTCThe hardest choice yet, but a win either way
Zack Kendall
2025-03-13 18:36:54 +0000 UTC...aside from a frustrated David Sims you mean? =) I think these will come down to the guests, because, yes, these movies are DOG. SHIT. Cash grabs for Sony that serve to keep the (live action) Spider-Man licensing in their woefully bumbling hands for as long as possible (or until they destroy the film reputation of the character...again.
Sean Sakimae
2025-03-13 18:36:21 +0000 UTCListening to todays Doughboys episode with Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas as the guests (who I love) and voting for this, and all I can think about it is how the Sony Spiderman villains option is the How Did This Get Made option on the bracket. I don’t begrudge that podcast or anyone who listens to it in anyway, but this is a different podcast and I think better for not making those kinds of choices. Hot Monsters, there’s a lot of interesting unique ground for the boys to cover. Please vote for hot monsters.

Darby Dixon III
2025-03-13 18:33:16 +0000 UTCi love you guys dearly but sony spider-man really does turn this into "actually yes just another bad movie podcast" for a bit. i don't know what we have to gain by doing Morbius and Madame Web right now when all the jokes have been beaten into the ground. give it more time. would love to be proven wrong but i'll vote against this one at every turn

2025-03-13 18:28:23 +0000 UTCHMWF FTW!!! In fact, if the Spiderverse knocks it out; I will urinate on Tom Hardy's shoes in a show of territorial domination! Also more amazing Keanu!

Kevin Gesme
2025-03-13 18:23:29 +0000 UTCEh, I think the OG Dungeons & Dragons movie is one of their funnier commentaries of all time. Some bad movies have made for great episodes.
Curt Weiler
2025-03-13 18:22:58 +0000 UTCDon't vote for shit. Good movies with engaged hosts makes for best commentaries. Mari laughing at first Austin Powers. David excitement for London Opening ceremonies. Griff discovering First Contact. Ben seeing all the fits.
Brian Redford
2025-03-13 18:20:21 +0000 UTClook, I'm as amused as anybody by the though of experiencing the schadenfreude of exposing the boys to the SPUMC for six weeks, but I gotta take any excuse I can to get them talking about the best Dracula movie.
Michael Loiacono
2025-03-13 18:20:14 +0000 UTCThis one was difficult. Hot Monsters should INCLUDE Madam Web.

Joshua Inman
2025-03-13 18:11:50 +0000 UTCI think their “studios making terrible decisions that get everyone fired” commentaries are some of their very best (see the Liebsman TMNT 1 with Griffy’s 40 minute preamble) so I need the Madame Web, Morbius, and Kraven ones in my life.
Sauncho Smilax
2025-03-13 18:11:08 +0000 UTCThey are gonna get sooo bored with those shitty Sony Marvel movies. Please God no.
