BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 7
Added 2025-03-07 19:00:07 +0000 UTCIn another insanely close matchup, WORLD OF OZ wins by only 26 votes!
Up today - silly walks and silly wocka wockas.
It's MUPPETS vs MONTY PYTHON.
With Muppets, we'd cover eight theatrically-released films:
The Muppet Movie (1979)
The Great Muppet Caper (1981)
The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984)
Muppet Christmas Carol (1992)
Muppet Treasure Island (1996)
Muppets from Space (1999)
The Muppets (2011)
Muppets Most Wanted (2014)
With Monty Python, we'd cover four films:
And Now For Something Completely Different (1971)
Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975)
Monty Python's Life of Brian (1979)
Monty Python's The Meaning of Life (1983)
So - who's it gonna be?

2025-03-09 02:44:31 +0000 UTCYou just saved Christmas and it is only March. Impressive.
Sj
2025-03-08 22:42:20 +0000 UTCThe extended version is available on D+ in the extras section. D+ is good because it pretty much the only reliable way to watch that version of the film.
Mr. M
2025-03-08 22:40:00 +0000 UTCI love Monty Python, I just don’t think it would make for great podcasting.
Sj
2025-03-08 21:07:22 +0000 UTCHonestly hope muppets win the whole thing just for Christmas Carol. I have watched that every Christmas since before memory and enjoy it every year. Anyone who watches it with me has to hear me complain about how the Disney + version ruins it by cutting the song “When love is gone”. The upbeat ending song “When love is found” makes no sense without the sad song in the middle! It ruins the entire film!
Sj
2025-03-08 21:04:03 +0000 UTCYou all are going to push muppets over the finish line, aren't you?
ian
2025-03-08 17:06:41 +0000 UTCI want David to watch muppets and question his life choices. Also I meet a man who looked exactly like a member of Electric Mayhem it was a distraction at work. He was thankfully good natured about it when I showed him the image and he laughed and his wife was like omg you do look like him (they were European and had never seen the muppets)

Jon Ryves
2025-03-08 11:05:42 +0000 UTCobviously Python would rule, David surprisingly knows a lot about British humor for an American, but Muppets has been such a long time coming for this show we need it!!

Douglas Wykstra
2025-03-08 07:15:45 +0000 UTCI'm a muppet-man and I'm okay, I sleep all night and I work all day.
Douglas Wykstra
2025-03-08 07:11:46 +0000 UTCI mean I’m more optimistic that David can stay engaged but frustrated during Muppets stuff but of course First Contact really was a fun ep, it was cool to hear Griffin keep re-realizing for the first time all the ways that movie was good
Rad Rodge
2025-03-08 07:06:12 +0000 UTCAnd in the rare times this has happened, I do think that’s exactly the way it’s panned out, although admittedly the only ones I’m thinking of right away are James “Big Jim” Cameron and Star Wars movies where of course there was a laaarge volume of stuff to say haha
Rad Rodge
2025-03-08 07:01:54 +0000 UTCPity. I think the context around the Python movies would be so much more interesting to hear the guys discuss. Hopefully I've underestimated the Muppets tho.

George Wishart
2025-03-08 03:50:14 +0000 UTCyou guys all suck. all the muppet comms would just be grif verbally fellating the art of puppetry. fucking barf
JC9000
2025-03-08 03:46:56 +0000 UTCI genuinely think these Muppet movies have far more breadth and variety than almost any option on the bracket. 80s grimy New York! Surprisingly faithful Dickens adaptation! Musical numbers! Heists! Charles Grodin infatuated with a pig!
James Asmus
2025-03-08 02:49:24 +0000 UTCI want The Muppets so badly

Theodore Rosenblum
2025-03-07 21:27:57 +0000 UTCI like the muppets but that’s too many muppet movies.
Kawaiidebu
2025-03-07 21:25:25 +0000 UTCA vote against British transpose John Cleese. Duck that guy.
Sloane
2025-03-07 21:12:59 +0000 UTCYeah, everything pre-MASH. I really hope they don't bundle all three movies into one <90 minute Patreon episode
youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper
2025-03-07 21:10:44 +0000 UTCIt’s on a college campus too, weekly themed… they are more than enthusiastic. Cosplay, dancing, it’s quite something.
Nick Maddox
2025-03-07 21:10:20 +0000 UTC"Movin' right along. Footloose and fancy-free. Getting there is half the fun; come share it with me."
Wyatt Gray
2025-03-07 21:09:53 +0000 UTCWhich movies would be Altman Patreon? Everything before MASH? The only one I've seen of that era is That Cold Day in the Park which is quite good
Daniel Ketchum
2025-03-07 21:05:04 +0000 UTCI think those are good options. It’s interesting when themed trivia is so specific. There’s always that one team that has the person who knows those things, and it’s cool to see that kind of enthusiasm. ☺️
Holly Catlin-Meyer
2025-03-07 21:04:11 +0000 UTCThis is probably the hardest choice I'll have to make during round one of the patreon. But yesterday was the hardest choice I've EVER had to make on a main feed bracket, so this is still a bit of relief.
Richard Barry
2025-03-07 21:02:33 +0000 UTCCaper is my absolute favorite. Miss Piggys epic entrances! Charles Grodins “singing” and being head over heels in love with Piggy! Carla, Marla, and Darla looking fashionable and fabulous! The picture of Kermie and Fozzies father!

Jean-Paul
2025-03-07 20:52:03 +0000 UTCA very good take, I like where your heads at. Nothing against the muppets, but there’s way more to talk about regarding Gilliam.
Jean-Paul
2025-03-07 20:51:49 +0000 UTCThere is a lot of context to python.
Kip Lockhaven
2025-03-07 20:47:00 +0000 UTCDoes anyone know why early Altman can't be main feed? I know the mini will already be long, but just a few extra weeks isn't too bad
youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper
2025-03-07 20:45:42 +0000 UTCMonty Python was much more formative for me.
Kip Lockhaven
2025-03-07 20:45:28 +0000 UTCI wish it wasn’t accepted as a given that a main feed ep deconfirms a future commentary and vice versa. I understand why in some cases but there are many films that could benefit from both a fully researched discussion and their live reactions.

2025-03-07 20:42:03 +0000 UTCEh. Sounds good in theory. Then you hear "What do you want?" for the tenth time and realize there's still an hour and 4 full movies to go. Listen to them both going bananas for Last Contact. That should be the goal.
Brian Redford
2025-03-07 20:37:45 +0000 UTCWhile I will always vote for the Muppets, I'd personally rather see them hold off until they do a Henson/Oz series, and then follow that with an Oops, All Muppets behind the wall
TheLibraryClark
2025-03-07 20:30:20 +0000 UTCI admit that is part of my enthusiasm here

Abby May
2025-03-07 19:28:36 +0000 UTCMy theory is there's a sizable patreon contingent that try to vote the opposite of the majority when one option has a lead.

2025-03-07 19:16:05 +0000 UTCI'm afraid Python just isn't in the air anymore. As an Ancient Blankie, I grew up watching Flying Circus on PBS, and it turned me into the twisted figure I am today. It doesn't help that Cleese and Gilliam turned into the kind of people they used to mock so well. I would have been sold if Time Bandits was included. Gotta go Muppets instead.

Cheyenne Valen
2025-03-07 19:07:49 +0000 UTCAgree with Oz/Henson being on the main feed where it deserves to be. Monty Python is feels weirdly under discussed so there’s some fun stuff they could get into (Holy Grail reusing all of Polanski’s Macbeth costumes/sets, George Harrison mortgaging his house for Life of Brian, etc). I get not all the Pythons are good guys but that can be discussed too
ders
2025-03-07 19:07:31 +0000 UTCthe muppets are cool but only the first two movies are any good. the python series would also open up the door to gilliam’s work.
Brendan Crowley
2025-03-07 19:07:28 +0000 UTCI think it's more just that people are more into Muppets. And in particular wanting to here Griffin talk about them.
