BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 2

It was kind of close, but ultimately you folks decided that you preferred "More Dick" to "Some Pulp" - PHILIP K DICK MOVES ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!

Up today, we are pitting two of the stars of Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing against each other, and instead of being young, hot, and armed with swords, they're old, grizzled, and armed with guns.

It's JOHN WICK vs THE EQUALIZER.

 ("Branagh series WHEN???" - me, Marie, making this post)

With John Wick, we'd cover the four Keanu vehicles:
John Wick
John Wick Chapter 2
John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum
John Wick Chapter 4

With The Equalizer, we'd cover the three Denzel vehicles:
The Equalizer
The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer 3

So, who will it be - Reeves/Stahelski, or Washington/Fuqua?

Comments

There is nothing new to say about John Wick. The first and 4th movies might be good episodes but the middle two are gonna be a slog. How many times can they have the same conversation about how the rules don’t make sense and Keanu Reeves is amazing? Equalizer switches up supporting cast in every movie and could lead to a ton of fun conversations. Plus, a LOT more plot going on

+1 Kenny B

They have occasionally praised the Equalizers and I think they consider them really solid

Owen Phillips

Voting for Equalizer because it’s the shorter series and I don’t care about either of these (not that either has a chance at winning)

Doctor,Doctor

The "Equalizer would be better because they're boring" crowd has a point but I'd counter that with David watching Next Generation. There's honestly no correlation, remember that middle section of Table Top those movies were crazy terrible and we ALL felt it.

Chris Radicone

Hey Nonny Nonny!

Lauren Schultz

Incredibly tough decision but ultimately decided on Wick because I'm guessing the crew will say nice things about those movies. I'd just be mad if they watched the Equalizers and bagged on them.

Emily Scott

Voted john wick with my fingers but branagh with my ❤️

madi

Unfortunately Equalizer 3 is very boring and kinda bsd

Rory Dunn

Pick equalizer bro

Good

100% but you have to know that to know that and sadly most people won’t know that.

Good

Burger report revival?

Robert Young

I think Wick will open the door for some fun chats about 'Rules' and world building - not to mention as I said above I'd love to hear some love for Reddick and Mchshane (and Common and Donnie Yen and Halle Berry and Marc Dacoscos and Michael Nyqvist). But yeah, at the end of the day I'm keen for 6 hours talking about how much of a Mensch The Equalizer is

Alexander Annand

Dude for real, it's gonna be 4 episodes of them watching the movies silently and David going "Talk, guys!" every few seconds. Equalizer would have a lot more to discuss, I'm surprised the vote is so lopsided.

Kyle Heyman

That said - I don't think we've had a chance to deep dive on either Ian McShane or Lance Reddick yet so i'll be happy either way.

Alexander Annand

Wick so you can get Mantzoukas for his own episode!

Joshua Baldwin

I prefer the John Wick franchise but there's no doubt in my mind that Equalizer would make for a better Blank Check series.

Alexander Annand

Y'all. Equalizer should SWEEEEP.

Harry Mitchell

Booooo

Sloane

booooo, give us denzel

zod cham

The Equalizer films

Jordan Fish

John Wick, more like John WACK

Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III

Equalizer because Wick, Keanu, stunt stuff, practical FX etc get talked about a lot and Denzel Washington doesn't get talked about half enough.

John Dog

The second and third Equalizers are pretty bad, but I think they would make better episodes since they are more distinct than the wick series. That being said, I don’t think either series is going the distance.

Robert Young

This reply to a reply to a comment is not where I should be putting my main feed thoughts, but I'm also not signing up for bluesky just to say this. All I want is for everyone, but particularly Ben, to watch Schitzopolis and tell me their thoughts. Is that too much to ask for?

Owen McIlhattan

Equalizer is going to have much better conversations with those movies compared to John Wick, but I do love John Wick. This one is a win-win. But it really should be The Equalizer. But they might cover fuqua on the main feed. So John should win l guess.

Good

Agree with Marie!

jahr

Getting equalized will make a much more fun mini series than getting wicked

Maricela Gonzalez

Equalizer would be more interesting. JW falls off hard after #1.

Jack Connor

TICK TOCK JOHN WICK

sheabobay

Dicktory! We have dicktory!

Stephen Sambrook

Come on Equalizer!!!

david herbert

"From the world of John Wick" sounds more like the tagline of the movie poster and ad campaign

John W

I want at least a half hour spent on debating whether the title of Ballerina is Ballerina or From the World of John Wick: Ballerina and if it’s the latter, is that the worst title ever?

BENJAMIN SHULTZ

Does John Wick mean someone’s talking about The Continental because that is an interesting nothing burger

Michael C

Marie you are spillingggg!!!!! the Shakespeare girlies demand Branagh

Haley

Truly, Branagh series when?? Also, I kind of want to save the Equalizer films for a Fuqua miniseries? He seems like he’d be an interesting guy to go deep on.

Molly McNeeley

Got it, thanks!

Bobby Styles

They’re posting them on Bluesky

Ross Kroeber

Now I just want that Much Ado About Nothing! Bring on Sexy Shakespeare.

M

I never watched the Wick movies so this would be a good excuse

Damian Brown

The Equalizer 2 makes The Equalizer 3 look like The Equalizer!

Justice B

I’m ready for a Wick-ed good time!

Njord

TBF John Wick is also armed with swords.

James Sykora

Honestly Marie please push for a Marie's pick with Branagh. God I love that brilliant ham.

Benjamin Haworth

Get Zooks on a Jon Wick ep. Plz

Carolyn

Was about to make a joke about racist blankies and Black History month - but whatever. I'm going Equalizer.

Dylan Murray

Can’t we combine them for one series? The Wickalizer? The Eqwick? I don’t like voting against Denzel even if the second one kinda stinks.

Joe Martin

They say if you listen closely on a quiet night, you can still hear John Wick falling down the stairs outside Sacre Coeur.

Tom Jorgensen

Where do they show the winner of the prior day’s Main Feed voting?

Bobby Styles

I would love to be slayed by either of these cute hotties

sheabobay

The last hour of John Wick: Chapter 4 is better than all of The Equalizer films combined.

Matthew Chmiel

All things being Equal, I vote Denny

RosieOGravy

Yiiiii this is toughhhhhhh

sheabobay

Insane how hot these guys look in this movie

Ben

Yo new artwork is dope!! 📀

sheabobay

Branagh series WHAT

Scott Marshall

He’s more than earned it!

Njord

Incredibly hot Much Ado picture, thank you.

Lauren Damon

EQUALIZE ME

Sean Mckeown

tick tock, no time to dilly-dally Mr. The Equalizer.

Sj

The Equalizer? What is this, a DAW?

Holden Martinson

Recency Bias is totally swaying me, but I do genuinely think the John Wick movies are a triumph of modern blockbuster filmmaking.

Tashmon Dimps

I WANT THE DICK IN ME

The Real Stevie Lew

I just wanna hear Ben’s reaction to John wick 4. So many insane action set pieces to behold

Jordan

I guess it's fine if equalizer doesn't win, makes a full fuqua mini next year a better option.

Eric U

This patreon needs to be equalized! You all need to be equalized!! And there's only one man who can properly equalize at that scale, and it's not Keanu.

Teddy K

Great pull from the Shakespeare they did together.

Russell Barnes

Throught it’d go Wick’s way and don’t disagree. Just excited either way 🤩

Bjørn Kristensen

Would love an extended chunk on r/doesthedogdie

lil rob

also marie im right there with u we MUST take a trip in the river of ham w kenny b

August Hammel

The Equalizer movies are dull snoozefests — dip your Wick instead!

Colin

I never got into the world of John Wick. This would definitely give me a reason to give it another try.

Matthew Farkas

branagh series WHEN

aya and ariel

This is tough, but I can’t pass up the live reaction to the whole last hour of Wick 4.

Charles

think about the equalizer bits!!!

August Hammel

I'm with Marie on this one.

herb

Time to light the Wick and light BC:SF up!
