BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 12

Another tournament goes by and Ben still doesn't have an excuse to buy a sword. RoboCop moves on to the next round!

Up today - you can practically hear these images.

It's PSYCHO vs ROCKY.

With Psycho, we'd cover four films:
PSYCHO (1960)
PSYCHO II (1983)
PSYCHO III (1986)
PSYCHO (1998) - the Gus Van Sant remake

With Rocky, we'd cover six films (not the Creeds, though!):
Rocky (1976)
Rocky II (1979)
Rocky III (1982)
Rocky IV (1985)
Rocky V (1990)
Rocky Balboa (2006)

Is a boy's best friend his mother? Or is a boy's best friend Apollo Creed?

Comments

Why does this fanbase hate Rocky?!!

Travis Williams

Love how all the main feed ones are blowouts and these are neck and neck nearly every time

Percy Leopold Cromwell

Would it help swing the vote that I am an extra in rocky V? Yeah I thought not

Robb Johnston

They should include the 1987 tv movie/failed pilot Bates Motel, starring Brewster McCloud himself, Bud Cort.

DRC

What’s with the Psycho IV erasure?

Brandon

You’d think (Ro)Bert Young would be a bigger fan of 4!

Jason Feffer

I'm voting Rocky assuming the cut of IV with SICO, please don't make a fool of me

Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III

It’s not great but it was the first Psycho I saw and honestly I thought the plot idea of calling into the show was a cool take

awoodring

Psycho has one great movie, 1 surprisingly good slasher, and 3 back to back oddites of different natures

Josh Burcham

Yeah that's essential Psycho if you're doing the franchise

Josh Burcham

I mean the mabuse series had a legasequel in the 30s lol

disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

No Psycho 4: The Beginning? An underrated entry! Henry Thomas and Olivia Hussey conversations with an interesting if not flawed plot

awoodring

So they’re doing six Rocky’s but can’t squeeze 52 Pickup into the Elmore Leonard series? Pass. Psycho it is.

Harley Richard

I prefer 2 to 3, but yes

Ben Walkup

136,42,5

Robert Young

ADRIENNNNNNEEEEEE

Felix Durand

Gotta have Dead Meat on as guests for Psycho 98 if it somehow takes this tourney.

Michael Loiacono

Would be great to get the fellas to compare Psycho II to Star Trek Generations as legacyquel patient zero hahah, what other podcast offers this as a serious possibility

Rad Rodge

Psycho IV

Mean Laqueefa

Rocky is about to have a montage to win this vote

Shoopdawoopa

Voting Psycho. I’ve seen all those Rocky films so many times I worry I’ll get frustrated listening to podcasts about them if the hosts don’t say all the stuff I think

Liam Palmer

Adding my voice to the chorus of people calling for Psycho IV to be included

Alberto Manuel Lamoso

Psycho has 1 great movie Rocky has 3 great movies, 2 good movies, and Rocky V

Ben Walkup

Vote for Psycho because Psycho II is arguably the first legacy sequel ever made and is weirdly better than it has any right to be

MUJMT

Rocky is like absolute peak for a commentary series, Rocky IV would be an all timer

Isaac Carter

Guys what?! Rocky would be a great nostalgic series. Paulie has sex with a robot

Blake Anderson

How are we doing ROCKY this dirty those movies get wild

John

Think of the griff impressions we will get for Rocky. Vote for Rock

Ryan

petition to add a bates motel bonus ep

Sarah e

I GOT A FIGHT COMIN UP!

Dads FM

I’m a Philly kid, so I kinda have to go with my boy. But if I may, and as I said before whenever Psycho was last on the bracket, Psycho IV should definitely be included should it go all the way.

KevynOnVideo

Jacob Raleigh

Watching all the Rocky movies back to back is tantamount to coating yourself in the positively charged mood slime from Ghostbusters 2. Voting against Rocky is voting against your own best interests.

Graeme Campbell

Picking Psycho because it’s shorter and just like Robocop we’ve all seen it and it’s been talked about to the ground. Also that’s like 4 months of Rocky movies. FUCK THAT!

Good

Common, imagine how great the Rocky discussion would be! I feel like it would have to win March Madness to be covered. Would love to hear the guys thoughts on these

Dan GERROUS

What about the Bates Motel tv movie with I think Bud Cort and Lori Petty from 1987?

John-Paul

I met Kurt Paul not long ago, who was stunt double for Norman Bates in many of the Psycho movies….uh very interesting dude! Very chatty. Definitely a good double for Anthony Perkins!

Janine

this makes me want Rocky movie thats a pyscho crossover

Xander Yates

I voted for Psycho, but I really wish you would include Psycho IV

FreakaJebus

I want to get a full reappraisal for the maligned remake! LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

dorium

Was going to vote Psycho and saw you’d be skipping Psycho IV! Rocky then. What do you have against Olivia Hussey, CCH Pounder, and Mick Garris?!?

Patrick

I'd rather hear your thoughts on Psycho 4 over the remake honestly. Neither one is particularly great, but 4 at least has some more interesting things going for it imo

Brandon Melling

Rocky franchise is wayyy over discussed compared to the psycho franchise

Malcolm

why?

Brendan Crowley

The Rocky IV episode would be incredible. I feel like you could fill an entire commentary just discussing Paulie’s Robot.

Connor Fitzgerald

Psycho is a ridiculous and hilarious series with a great film up top, vote for that. Psycho 3 is a classic strange horror film

Josh Burcham

Psycho 2 is excellent and worth voting for the entire Psycho series. One of the most underrated horror sequels.

Tom Silvestro

VOTE ROCKY

Daniel Citron

Psycho remake episode or Griffin talking about Jon Taffer and the Sico robot in Rocky IV, we win either way

Austin McDougle

To me, Rocky is a no brainer

Tony Wagner

Decade of Creeds!

Del Lorenson

Has anyone mentioned Psycho 4 yet?

Joe

ADRIAN!!!!!!

Les Chappell

They should cover Rocky on Patreon when they do Paul Thomas Anderson on main feed. The first Psycho is an incredible dip into a filmography it would take AGES to get through normally, and then every one after that is some kind of gonzo. A like that!

Beef Steak Tomato

If Rocky wins, then the series needs to include all three Action Boyz as guests on different episodes.

Kyle Carpenter

Where is Psycho 4 🥲

Karina

Absolutely. Why would they exclude it?

jscro

Do Rocky you cowards! I want to see Pauly f*** that robot!

Dennis Murphy

Psycho II? Psycho III? Both great. And Eric is right. They should absolutely cover Psycho IV if it wins.

jscro

Seems like the perfect time to talk about a Perkins and his issues with his mother

GrrNoise

Idk, listening Ben talk about punching slabs of meat, or to Griffin do a Hulk Hogan impression, or to David be joyously baffled at Paulie's robot all seem like fun times. Chances to talk about Stallone's career and the creation of the first movie, plus the wild journey that the series takes as a whole!

Christian Scarbrough

I voted Psycho. You really should be including Psycho IV. I assume it’s left off because it’s a TV movie but it’s really good.

Erik Wacker

Psycho 4!

Jordan Deschamps

Psycho would be a great series but I had to vote for Sly impressions

Nathan Cranor

I must experience THUNDERLIPS with the boys

Ginger’s Boyfriend Matt

YOOO, PODRIAAAAANN!

Njord

The Rocky series is an incredible cinematic journey, the Psycho movies are a continual devolvement

Harding Royster

I’m voting for psycho and they absolutely should include part 4: the beginning. They’ve covered plenty of TV movies before. No excuse.

Eric

Rocky is a slow burn but shit would be so fun once we got to four. The robot, people! The robot!

Blake R.

Psycho 2 is underrated af

Owen Phillips

Justice for Mick Garris! I think the crew would have a good time talking about this one anyway. It’s got a fun cast.

Miles Lemaire

Who do you wanna support? Don Trump's ambassador to Hollywood, Sly Stallone? Or Don Trump's other ambassador to Hollywood, Norman Bates??

Sam Russell

I think it might have been a tv movie. But I agree, they should include it.

Pete

I think because it’s a tv movie.

Zachary Bach

No Bates Motel eh

ders

Rocky would be boring.

Jeff Brax

There's no way you can skip Psycho IV. It's sheer madness.

JFox

FIRST!

justn

Have they said why they're skipping it?

Zwoozy

Why isn’t Psycho IV included?

Miles Lemaire

Y'all I have watched Rocky 4 499 times and am the world's foremost expert on it (citation needed). Make my blank check dream come true of my 500th watch being a blank check commentary

Calahan Riley

Oh I wanted the Creeds

JPB Gerald

You have to do Mick Garris Psycho 4.

Scotty White

The Psycho movies are such wildly different rides, would love to hear the histories.

Zwoozy

I really would like to convince the boys to add PSYCHO IV even though it is a TV movie. That movie's BONKERS.

Kalle Färm

Rocky would have so much more material to work with IMO

Choof

Wish they were doing Psycho 4 as well but still voting for it!

Zachary Bach

Come on guys surely we want them to watch Rocky 4, robo butler and all

Max Woodhams

Rocky!

John Toerner

Y'all are telling me you don't think Griffin has 10 hours of Micky impressions locked and loaded, ready to go??

Andy C

Psycho!

Riley Hogan

Rocky would be great! Impressions, real franchise building talk, Ben's take on the franchise and a couple bad movies to get loopy with

Anthony Oleszkiewicz

For Philadelphia. For Marie.

Beau

Psycho-A-Go-Go

Bern Roche Farrelly

I just love Anthony Perkins and want to hear them talk about him
