BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 10
Added 2025-03-10 18:00:09 +0000 UTCBe Cool? More like, "it would be cool if we covered Elmore Leonard adaptations on Patreon!" Get Shorty et al moves on to the next round!
Up today:
Four weddings. Three colors.
It's Richard Curtis Rom-Coms vs the Three Colors trilogy.
With Richard Curtis rom-coms, we'd cover five very British films:
The Tall Guy
Four Weddings & A Funeral
Notting Hill
Love Actually
About Time
With the Three Colors trilogy, we'd cover the three films directed by Krzysztof Kieślowski:
Three Colors: Blue
Three Colors: White
Three Colors: Red
So - who's it gonna be...London or Paris??
Comments
We blew it on this one. Big time.

2025-03-12 04:27:47 +0000 UTCWhat if there was a tall guy?
Adam Martin
2025-03-11 18:06:36 +0000 UTCI believe David at least has said he doesn't like it (correct and proper opinion, imo).
Jules
2025-03-11 07:07:01 +0000 UTCI'm not quite sure what about the Three Colors trilogy lends itself to being a particularly eventful commentary series, but Three Colors: Red is one of my favorite movies of all time, so it's kind of impossible for me to vote against it.
Keith Allison
2025-03-11 02:11:58 +0000 UTCThree Colors is too real for a commentary series
Misadventureland
2025-03-11 01:11:09 +0000 UTC😔 maybe next time, krzysztof.
Sam Schrader
2025-03-11 01:07:40 +0000 UTCBlockbuster rental vs. criterion channel subscription
Matt Navey
2025-03-10 23:30:08 +0000 UTCI said the last year and I’ll say it again, I need a Phantom Podcast-style season wherein each episode they pick apart one of the insane plots from Love Actually
Allison Hughes
2025-03-10 21:56:51 +0000 UTCBring Zach Cherry on and record a Yesterday episode if Curtis wins please!
Calahan Riley
2025-03-10 21:53:40 +0000 UTCHaving to pick between “what?“ and “huh?” - I’m sitting this one out folks
Nicholas
2025-03-10 21:12:59 +0000 UTCI'm really not interested in listening to commentaries about a bunch of classic British romcoms from a pair of guys who've never even been to England and have always lived in New York.
Literaltruth
2025-03-10 20:48:10 +0000 UTCI’m sure it will make for a fun commentary!
Fiona
2025-03-10 20:44:14 +0000 UTCMy husband will not stop trying to get me to watch About Time, so I didn't really have a choice.
Liz Marafino Fiola
2025-03-10 20:25:02 +0000 UTCI find Love Actually to be abhorrent. Not sure if that means vote for it or against it?
Abe Something
2025-03-10 20:21:56 +0000 UTCThe Tall Guy rules!!
Will Redmond
2025-03-10 20:04:52 +0000 UTCI want to see the Richard Curtis treatment of the three colors as well as several Hugh Grant movies directed by Kieslowski
Martin Schneider
2025-03-10 19:56:25 +0000 UTCDo Ernest you cowards!
John Toerner
2025-03-10 19:54:48 +0000 UTCTROIS! DOUZE! MERDE!
Noah Mittman
2025-03-10 19:49:40 +0000 UTCThat would be amazing. Heaven with Cate Blanchett and Giovanni Ribisi and L’enfer with Guillaume Canet could be Special Features.
lil rob
2025-03-10 19:40:34 +0000 UTCVive le tricolor ! Bleu Blanc Rouge ou rien !
Jamie
2025-03-10 19:30:57 +0000 UTCNotting Hill, a.k.a. Richard Curtis' One Color - White.
Bairbre
2025-03-10 19:25:39 +0000 UTCUNE! DEUX! TROIS!
ChewyWalrus
2025-03-10 19:11:57 +0000 UTC"Ishmahil Blagrove, who was involved in arranging the location shooting and casting extras for the film, has said that they deliberately involved residents in the production, such as hiring them for security, and compensating shop owners for the disruption to their businesses. He cast a diverse range of neighbourhood people – including a locally famous personality – as extras, but was shocked and disturbed that people of color were almost entirely absent from the final film."

Manish Agarwal
2025-03-10 18:50:51 +0000 UTCI am… incredibly out of my depth with this one
Tashmon Dimps
2025-03-10 18:43:55 +0000 UTCI try not to make my series picks based on the merits of one movie. But for Love, Actually I will make an exception (and vote for Three Colors).
KevynOnVideo
2025-03-10 18:40:50 +0000 UTCCome on three colors!!
Kevin Gesme
2025-03-10 18:39:28 +0000 UTCThree Colors would be done a disservice via commentary track coverage, I think. I like the looser, sillier bonus content.
Joel Cunningham
2025-03-10 18:32:00 +0000 UTCLook, I know everyone hates it now, but Love Actually is great. It’s great and I love it.
Jake Jarvi
2025-03-10 18:31:16 +0000 UTCRichard Curtis stinks. Three colors.
Cory Donohue
2025-03-10 18:30:57 +0000 UTCY'all, Three Colors deserves this
Ryan Nilsen
2025-03-10 18:30:30 +0000 UTCPLEASE VOTE THREE COLORS
Ryan Nilsen
2025-03-10 18:30:18 +0000 UTCYou should do all of Kieslowski, including Dekalog! 💙🤍♥️
Anthony Garrett
2025-03-10 18:29:41 +0000 UTCIf Curtis is the winner, you just smoked every opening Griffin or David could think of 😂
John W
2025-03-10 18:23:57 +0000 UTC"The Tall Guy" has always deserved more love. Emma Thompson's screen debut!
Erich Van Dussen
2025-03-10 18:22:58 +0000 UTCI like Richard Curtis fine, but I actually would love for a commentary series like Three Colors, where they're watching three art house films and engaging with them at least semi-seriously. They've covered good movies and movies they've loved, but this would be something new to try out.
Holden Martinson
2025-03-10 18:22:36 +0000 UTCI love Three Colors. Think they're the better films by far. But for the kinds of commentary you guys do? Nah. You can have fun with the Curtis rom-coms.
John W
2025-03-10 18:22:13 +0000 UTCBoooooo
Bobby Styles
2025-03-10 18:20:36 +0000 UTC😑
Kevin Love Hewitt
2025-03-10 18:19:19 +0000 UTCI think this might be the first time I'm voting for the leading candidate this march
Geraint Thomas
2025-03-10 18:15:00 +0000 UTCI’m just a patron, standing in front of a podcast, asking it to cover Curtis
Charles
2025-03-10 18:13:15 +0000 UTCHope that one YouTube upload of The Tall Guy is still up by the time we can watch if Curtis wins. Literally the only way to watch that movie!
Tomas Marinara
2025-03-10 18:11:35 +0000 UTCThree Colors is a masterpiece (well, I don't LOVE White, but still), but its not really the type of thing that would work for the commentary format
Anthony Pierre Coco
2025-03-10 18:10:59 +0000 UTCAs much fun as David shitting all over Notting Hill sounds, gotta go Colors
Patrick LeJeune
2025-03-10 18:10:38 +0000 UTCVoting Richard Curtis just for the madness of the Love Actually episode
Begemott
2025-03-10 18:10:36 +0000 UTCI want to hear more from David about Notting Hill being demographically inaccurate lol
maplejuris
2025-03-10 18:10:28 +0000 UTCI voted for Colours, but Curtis would almost certainly be more fun.
John Dog
2025-03-10 18:10:13 +0000 UTCFIRST!
justn
2025-03-10 18:08:01 +0000 UTCYou guys must be going rom coms because you’re strategizing about how Kieślowski needs to be on the main feed, right?
mattgeeee
2025-03-10 18:07:01 +0000 UTCCurtis needs to go all the way
Lauren Thompson
2025-03-10 18:05:25 +0000 UTCWill Three Colors beat the Muppets hmm...
Alex Firer
2025-03-10 18:04:58 +0000 UTCMaybe if they cover Curtis they could find someone who grew up in Britain to guest on the episodes
JD
2025-03-10 18:04:21 +0000 UTCI want to watch more romcoms with these boys, especially David. Need to hear more about how much David loves kissing please
Spencer Alger
2025-03-10 18:04:09 +0000 UTCA vote for Curtis is a vote for more Brit Talk from David. Do the right thing!
Keira Q
2025-03-10 18:03:54 +0000 UTCWe need The Tall Guy for its Lynch crossover.
heather
2025-03-10 18:03:49 +0000 UTCCome one guys…let’s do Three colors! What a unique series that’d be. They’ll do Richard Curtis on main feed eventually!
Ian Smart
2025-03-10 18:03:29 +0000 UTCI want to hear them dissect Love, Actually, actually.
Andrew Jansson
2025-03-10 18:03:20 +0000 UTCI LOVE Kieslowski. I ADORE those three movies. Absolutely not, no thank you
Manton
2025-03-10 18:03:18 +0000 UTCLove About Time. Four Weddings is great. And a commentary on the insanity of Love Actually would be an all-timer. Richard Curtis would be fantastic.
Michael Curley
2025-03-10 18:03:00 +0000 UTCmy rule for this march madness is to vote for any series where Julie Delpy will be discussed
Matthew M
2025-03-10 18:02:46 +0000 UTCFirst vote! Feels good.
The Wet Bandits Podcast
