BC March Madness 2025 - Day 11

Love actually IS all around, and Love Actually moves on to the next round!

Up today, we've got a Mr. Robert Cop going up against Sir Duncan MacLeod.

It's RoboCop vs. Highlander.

With RoboCop, we'd cover four films:
RoboCop
RoboCop 2
RoboCop 3

RoboCop (2014 remake)

With Highlander, we'd also cover four films (this time with more kilts):
Highlander
Highlander 2: The Quickening
Highlander 3
Highlander Endgame

Who wins - a Griffin fave or a Ben's choice?

Comments

Same! It’s always the most lamest or already talked about franchise wins.

Good

This is so confusing. You would think everyone on here would be cool. Robocop is fun but been there done that.

Good

Was there a glitch in the system on the main feed website because I completely missed the Peter Weir/Baz Luhrmann vote? I set a daily iPhone reminder this year to vote 🗳️ oh well 🤷🏼‍♀️ It does not matter I do not see Peter Weir surviving the next round #THETWOFRIENDS

Alison R.B.

As per my usual strategy, when I equally want either series I vote for the one I perceive is the underdog. Which is why I went Highlander.

Anthony Regina

It’s not to late for everyone to change their votes to Highlander

ders

I'm starting to hate March Madness a little

Regis L

Another year of disappointing results

Good

I just want to hear Mantzoukas talk about the quickening

Gabriel Gauvin

The Griffel contingent working overtime on this one.

Gabriel Gauvin

Agreed.

Bill O'Donnell

what is this "main feed"?

JC9000

Really think Highlander may be more fun? Anyway the main feed March madness today really hurt because I’d love both of those series. But they’ll do Baz one day I know.

Kawaiidebu

I love Robocop so much more, but I really want to hear the gang’s take on the absolute clusterfuck that is Highlander canon.

Div Whateley

Go Robo!

Ian

The thing is, I voted for Highlander but I also want for David my fellow For All Mankind enjoyer to share some Joel Kinnaman thoughts hahah, I dunno

Rad Rodge

Robo wants an oreo

Ken

C’mon. 1 good movie, 2 bad sequels and an empty remake. What’s to talk about? These Highlander films are fucking bananas! Sean Connery is playing a Scottish Spaniard is part 2! I mean, all of these sequels are BAD, too, but they’re at least interesting.

Sean Sakimae

Highlander! We’ve all seen Robocop. But Highlander deserves some love

Good

had to go Highlander just for Ben

Sam A. Sipe

DECADE OF DREAMS!!!

Andrew Wyslotsky

Very rude first round matchup

Luke Crawford

Throw Ben a bone! He loves the things!

Madi

"This movie begins the way all my favorite movies begin; With big chrome letters that spell out ROBOCOP" - Griffen

Corey DeMarco

Highlander sequels make are much better discussions

Zachary Stein

I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Highlander, so that gets my vote so I'll be forced to finally watch it.

Wyatt Gray

THE DECADE OF DREAMS CONTINUES

Don’t Sleep

yessssssss

Hannah K. Garden

Wait, i thought this was a Citroën

OG McDuck

The only question is how many eps for Robocop - I mean like, just the first movie?

John Dog

I think I want to vote for sword movies in general, let alone just Highlander specifically, this was a factor for me with Robins Hood too

Rad Rodge

Abstaining because I can not be forced to choose between the two excellent first installments and I resent the bracket for presenting me with the choice.

Stan

Robocop! No, Highlander! No, Robocop! Who can decide??

Regis L

Please not Robocop. Absolutely not

Brandon Skidmore

C'mon! Highlander would be such fun!!!

Damimoon Sunbeam

BEN + SWORD = MY HAPPINESS ♾️♾️♾️

sheabobay

Perhaps, if he's agitated and has lots of pitches - but from what I heard (funnily, I listen to the Robocop EP just the other day) they just make him depressed and angry, and that might not make for good episodes. I might be wrong, but I would pick Highlander.... however I don't think either of these have any chance in the bracket

Johannes Wiberg

I’d like to see Robocop go the distance now that we live in it’s corporate hell 🤞🏻

John

⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️ ⚔️ 🤺

sheabobay

Action Boyz crossover no matter who wins

Hello y’all

Remember Ben’s promise from last year: “If Highlander wins, I will buy a sword.”

Les Chappell

This one is a real conundrum

Bill O'Donnell

Ooof this is a real Ben or Griff moment... I choose Biff!

Chris Radicone

Cowardly Highlander: The Source erasure

Graeme Campbell

.... can I still get a Wendy's Baconator?

Chris Radicone

Sir, this is the Patreon

Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)

They’ll podcast you. They podcast everything.

Daniel Citron

It’s a griffin fave only insofar as there’s one movie he loves and the rest will break his heart

Daniel Citron

I would rewatch all highlander movies a dozen times rather than sit through the robocop reboot a second time.

big red robot

Potentially the new Highlander movie included? That robocop remake made me so mad! Even tho they used Hocus Pocus, but that was such a weird song choice!

Chris Lynch

ACAB (All Cops All Bots)

James Asmus

I don't want to hear them trash highlander 2 which I had a transcendent experience watching for the first time last year on mushrooms so I'll go robocop

The Great Kha

Per usual, I'm dying for Robert Altman. Literally, in fact. I'm sacrificing myself to Xenu in the hopes that Bob gets reincarnated. But mostly what i live for is Barry Sonnenfeld knocking out that washed up hobo Peter Jackson. Send PJ back to life on the rails, carrying his enormous bindle-on-stick filled with unused Mortal Engines dvds.

OG McDuck

I think his investment in it will still make those more interesting eps than the Highlanders though. A superfan who hates something typically finds a lot to say about it

Jake Vogt

FIRST!

justn

*munches Oreo smugly*

Aric Yakel-Kuntz

2 is frustrating because I can see a good movie buried in there. 3 is a total mess and the remake is just a fundamental misread of the original movie

Aric Yakel-Kuntz

I need Griffin reacting to all the other robocrap. If anyone hasn't watched RoboDoc, it's on Tubi and it absolutely rules.

Aric Yakel-Kuntz

How is this even close? They should cover Robocop once a year

Ginger’s Boyfriend Matt

Highlander, if only to hear The Two Friends™️ lose their minds while watching The Quickening.

Joshua Bauer

Highlander would make for more amusing, wilder material for discussion. Even the first one is ridiculous!

David Merryweather

Robert Cop for President!

Tashmon Dimps

Highlander is boring after the first one (and the first one is only saved by Clancy Brown)

dorium

I have seen one RoboCop. I have seen no Highlanders. So this one is a bit of a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for me.

Michael Curley

DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU’RE PODDING WITH ME

Eric Benjamin

I don't think Robocop would be Griffin's favorite since he seems to hate all the sequels and the remake.

Johannes Wiberg

For griff!

David Rosenblatt

Voting for Ben

Charles Muller

I am Producer Ben of the clan McBlank!

Stephen Mochan

Include Highlander: The Source (2007) you cowards!

Tom Enderby

Killing an immortal means cutting off their head, but nobody said *which* head.

Jimbotron

Voted for Ben: there can only be one! Though he seems odds on to lose this time… ⚔️❌

Manish Agarwal

Exactly, there can only be one vote that’s good for Ben and Griffin, da Highlander moveesh

Zachary Neeley

There can be only one !

Barry Wigham

I assume Highlander 2 would be the more readily available “Renegade” cut and not the original theatrical version? Justice for Planet Zeist!

Duncan Widmann

Picking Highlander for Griff because I know he'll hate watching the other Robert Cop movies

Doug Robertson

Vote for the nutty Highlander sequels!

Njord

A vote for highlander is a vote for Ben!

Owen Phillips

Robocop 2 should make for an interesting discussion: it’s directed by Irvin Kershner (of The Empire Strikes Back!) and yet it’s a huge step down from Robocop.

MoCoSwede

I voted Robocop because if they wait to do Highlander they can do the new Henry Cavill one too

Connor Crehan

Robo wants an Oreo.

Paul Sabourin

Highlander 2 is The Room/Troll 2 level bad and will make for entertaining commentary; voting on that alone

Zach Ehrlich

Highlander for Ben. There can only be one.

Andrew Wyslotsky

Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

W. Fry

Two franchises that start out with the hero's death! Spoilers!

Glenn Peters

Godammit Connor doesn’t stand a chance against the dick shooter.

Josh Mclane

Listening to Griffin lose the will to live in Robocop 2 will be great.

Conor Conneally

Robocop is my vote but please do both

Riley Hogan

DO BOTH!

Jordan Coleman

Highlander is the greatest franchise than never broke it big, I need the gang to talk about the Quickening (the concept and movie)

Arrison Warner

I’m choosing Highlander just for Ben.

Good

voting for Highlander bc I like the Queen video where Freddie Mercury has a sword fight with Highlander, but instead of a sword he uses his mic stand

Austin McDougle

This is disappointing; just think about how much fun a Highlander 2 episode would be.

David Draper

Not sure if you’re doing a bit?

Michael David

Already done!! Great eps!!

sheabobay

BEN WILL BUY A SWORD. That promise is reason enough Highlandwr should win. Do it for the Hoz

Benjamin Ogden

Pretty sure Robert can shoot through that kilt. ACAB (except RoboCop)

Peter M

There can be only one! *sees the results* Uh…I mean, your move creep!

Woo-D

I want to hear Ben swinging a giant sword around.

Andrew Jansson

No wrong choices today

ian

Voted for Ben

Andrew Newbury

Alex Firer

This matchup is crazy
