MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 29

Oooh sorry to Adam Sandler, but those Pulp Heroes seem invincible!! Dick Tracy, the Rocketeer, et all advance to the Final Four!

Today's matchup - the first in our Final Four - boils down to...DAVID VS BEN.

It's TABLETOP GAMES vs HIGHLANDER.

With TABLETOP GAMES, we'd cover six films (and yes, we've added Ouija: Origin of Evil to the roster):

Clue
Battleship
Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Ouija
Ouija: Origin of Evil

With HIGHLANDER, we'd cover four movies:

Highlander
Highlander 2: The Quickening
Highlander 3
Highlander Endgame

Who moves on to the FINALS???

Comments

How is Highlander losing so badly? Wtf is wrong with you people? You'd rather hear about that 2000 D&D movie or whatever than 1999's Highlander: Endgame? The Highlanders from the show and the movies are both in it! Y'all are losers and don't deserve the movies.

Gagortion

Next Ben's choice, 4 Highlander movies

scott anderson

Goodbye Highlander, gone but not forgotten. At least the Patreon bracket is guaranteed to be fun though. I'm almost dreading anything on main feed EXCEPT Lynch, and that's only an "OK" prospect...

Luke Crawford

God damn

ian

Let it be known I voted Highlander

Hendoh Bendoh

So sorry Ben

Chad Hemphill

Ben doesn’t deserve this

Stephen Mochan

I became a coward towards the prospect of those later Highlanders. All the tabletops seem like bangers…

Kawaiidebu

he still can!

TheFuzzyJew

i’m gonna go home and have sex with my wife.

chet sauer

Why do y’all hate Ben so much

Omeed

Big Sword!!!!! No!!!!!

Fred

Damn, Highlander got folded like LAUNDRY

Randy Braun

They ain’t gonna sink this battleship!!

Conor Dabler

Tabletop “the wrecking ball” games

Conor Dabler

Guys, let’s all buy Ben a sword, maybe a couple

Shoopdawoopa

Table top provides a nice mix of good movies and bad, while Highlander isn't just a lot of bad movies but rather the same bad movie over and over again. Sorry, Produer.

OG McDuck

We failed you, Ben. 🗡️😞🛡️

Ancient alien

Y’all are making a big mistake 😭 BOO!!!!!!!!!!🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅🍅

Ancient alien

Aww, really wanted Highlander but honestly I'm just so happy that Adam Sandler and his weird unfunny baby voice is out of the running that I don't mind who wins

Literaltruth

Holy shit haven't thought about this years.

Chris Radicone

Ben could've bought a sword guys

Bonesaw Greene

Potential Actual Play I think clinched it majorly

Connor MacKinnon

Clue, D&D:HAT, and Ouija 2 fucking rule. Enough to make up for Battleship, D&D, and Ouija 1

Brian Lorenzo

So disappointed by this result.

Chris Hubbard

Noice. The dream would be to have Kawajiri on the bracket cause all his movies own bones.

Will McLaren

I suggested that too in an earlier Highlander poll! That movie owns bones.

Tobey

I know it’s doomed in this round but ya’ll should include Yoshiaki Kawajiri’s anime Highlander movie if you ever do the series.

Will McLaren

Sorry, Ben.

Adam Bruski

A real “Whoever wins, we win” situation, but I’m giving HIGHLANDER my pity vote/

Anthony Regina

The fact that Ben doesn’t have a medieval weapon of some kind is a travesty.

Ben Schultz

If you guys play a game for Tabletop you should play Nightmare the VHS game. I will send this bad boy to you free of charge just to hear you fight with the crypt keeper

Jordan Gibson

I naturally love CLUE but really could take or leave unpacking the rest of the tabletop games. Hoping PULP HEROES effortlessly puts all its pieces back in the box this weekend.

Johnny Pomatto

I'm sad to be taking away an excuse for Ben to buy a sword

Erick Sanchez

This is my one argument for Highlander: HOS ASS SHIT! Do it for the Hos

daniel newfield

crazy spanish peacock

Anthony Carillo

CLUE = closest thing we'll ever get to a John Landis episode?

Andrew Carden

Going Tabletop just for the variety

24HRVideo

I don’t hate the movie; I just think it’s on par with mid-tier Marvel. As for Jarnathan, he’s just a lazy plot device with a goofy name.

Robert Young

heh, Tabletop keeps cruuuuushing

Anthony Pierre Coco

It was mostly a mean joke above all, but also a vent that most of the in person friend group discussions I have these days are inevitably going to involve either sports fantasy/parlays or D&D campaign stories and in-jokes, and I imagine that’s at least where at least some of the juice is coming from here lol. But like I alluded to, it’d still be a fine series! It’s also I guess a chance to see, like, the inverse Ghostbusters happen with Ouija and Origin of Evil.

Chris Scarin

I like that movie but Jarnathan is absolutely a bottom shelf bit

Bon Champion

Ben should still get a real sword for the DnD game #GetBenSword

Dustin Nguyen

I see what you're saying, but it presupposes Highlander isn't nerd culture. But it's so nerdy it doesn't even realize how hardcore nerdy it is. What could be more nerdy? :D

Bairbre

As someone who own all Highlander movies on blue ray, including non theatrical, my heart breaks here…. I voted tabletop.

Shaun William Callahan

Don't underestimate the magnetic power of Clue.

Bairbre

Awwww Godammit H doesn’t stand a chance now. Can Ben still get a sword, please?

Josh Mclane

Can Ben still buy a sword for the DnD game?

Ben DeSart

sorry ben, I can't do it

R. Grossman

Vote Highlander. Vote Ben getting a sword.

ExciteMike64

I will always stop and watch Battleship when it's on TNT. I tear up when the old guys fire the Missouri up to the inspirational hum of ACDC.

Carl Hoppmann

Yeah I keep forgetting about Battleship, that’ll be a fucking good episode. Kitsch time

Rad Rodge

I'm throwing so many potatoes these next two matchups

FirstPet BirthStreet

Tabletop does not yet know the combined powers of Madonna, Jason Derulo, Gerard Butler, and JESUS!!!

Chet Kazalski

I have voted Highlander every single time but I really want them to watch clue.

Ray

I voted for tabletop, but I want the record to show that Honor Among Thieves is okay at best and Jarnathon can, in fact, suck it.

Robert Young

Tabletop Games gets us closer to a Mike Flanagan miniseries

Sean

It's confounding some people would prefer Highlander over the gift that is Tabletop. Dont get me wrong I've been stumping for Highlander when it was up in rotation but there is really no comparison. 1 exquisite movie with a fun but flawed sequel and then two confusing sequels that undo 2 vs one of the finest films put to celluloid and a bunch of fun popcorn movies. For me it's all about avoiding ALW that too me is a rough ask.

Chris Radicone

Wow! I figured Tabletop Games would eek out the win over Highlander but this margin can only be described as a butchering.

Wyatt Gray

There can be only one! And it ain't that one.

zero

At least that many, it seems like, yeah

Rad Rodge

Jaysus. I realize that people like Jarnathan but this margin is shocking

Rad Rodge

honk for tabletop!! But also I really love that the patreon bracket is mostly lower seeds and the main feed is all 1 seeds, what a great march madness its been

Cynthia

“Look what they did to my boy.”

seth wiseman

Tabletop and Pulp were my wishes from the start, so I think Im gonna be a happy Blankie this year. Also : Highlander as a Ben's Choice would be best of both worlds (that spares everyone the bad follow up)?

James Asmus

But Ben needs a real Sword!

Tad Moore

As amazing as Highlander would be it is ultimately another "perfect movie followed by diminishing returns" franchise arcs, which we've already had a lot of discussion of through the Ghostbusters and Terminators miniseries (which I love!). Tabletop games just gives us such a bigger variety of discussions babyyyyyyy

David freeman

This is pretty disappointing

Jack McGuigan

I honestly thought Ben was gonna flip this one with his promise to buy a sword

Owen Phillips

I’m so sorry to Ben but SO EXCITED FOR TABLETOP TALK!

Kalynne McIntyre

Looks like the Highlander will never be.....head of the class.

Ryan Baker

I knew I'd have to make a tough choice at a certain point and I can't believe it's already here.

Beardmask

CLANCY BROWN GIVES ONE OF THE MOST UNHINGED PERFORMANCES COMMITTED TO FILM AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY HIM!?! “I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY: It’s better to BURN OUT, than FADE AWAY!”

Drew Wobser

(Desperately tries to think of another pun)

Wes Alvis

Heads will roll on this one

Wes Alvis

Highlander was too ahead of its time

Wes Alvis

BOOOO

Jason H

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Please, god, vote Highlander!

Seth Lambert

Booooooo cowards booooooo

Alexander Moralez

It's all about CLUE

Ivan Cockrum

If it comes down to Tabletop Games vs Pulp Heroes I don’t know which way I’ll vote. But either way I’ll feel like a winner. (But man, I want a Dick Tracy episode so bad.)

Tyler Trumbull

Sorry Ben 😞

Alex Solliday

Ben said he would BUY A SWORD and this is how you repay him? For shame, for shame

Hadley Anthony

Hopefully they'll do Highlander one day, but tabletop has way too much potential.

John Szolscek

Christopher Teuma

Table top to the top!!!!

Jake

If The Equalizer is less than The Highlander, of which there can only be one, then this is just a roll of the dice.

Christopher Teuma

Tabletop is unstoppable!

Jake Jarvi

Sorry, Ben.

Kibblesmith

Same, I'm not really interested in the movies there and don't think they'd make good commentaries. I also need to save money, so maybe a kick to unsubscribe for a while.

HappyCroc

Suck it, Highlander!!!

Emily Scott

God damn it. There's nothing I wanted less than Tabletop Games and nothing I wanted more than Highlander.

Peaches_En_Regalia

I've grown from infant to full man to old man having heard of Clue and still haven't watched Clue so Clue gets my vote so that I finally watch Clue. The game in Australia is called Cluedo, but the film is called Clue.

Christopher Teuma

+ Battleship is a piece of shit but a great microcosm of what went wrong in blockbusters of that era

Bon Champion

Hellouija!

lil rob

Oh snap. He did it to them.

Fred Mercado

Omg those toys! I really like “Tabletop Games” and “Pulp Heroes” bc they’re both thematic “franchises” that the show has cobbled together rather than an official cinematic universe, but they make total sense. Clearly other Blankies feel similarly!

Christian Holub

Speaking of great 80s busts. Beverly D'Angelo in High Spirits. Just art.

Fred Mercado

I demand 3 distinct commentaries for Clue *I'm sure this has been said 1000x already

John Fowler

I want both these! I know. I'm selfish! 😂

Damimoon Sunbeam

I have been championing Highlander this whole time, but now I’m turning on it like Connor MacLeod’s clan when he turns out to be immortal.

Tobey

So much for Highlander! This years March madness is crazy wild! I like it.

James Manning

I watched Clue the other day, and seeing Coleen Camp’s unbelievable bust again in so many different profiles, under such soft lightning at times, has made me realize that Griff will get extremely horny. That might make listeners who are incredibly uncomfortable about sex absolutely repulsed. This is why Pulp Heroes must win. Yes, maybe he might extend it to Madonna, Jennifer Connelly, and Zeta Jones. But I feel it won’t be as bad. You’ve been notified, listeners.

Don Knott Steiner

THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE… and it’s not Highlander it seems. Apologies to the Meat Lover.

Les Chappell

Thank goodness.

Michael Curley

Clue and D&D:HAT have sizable cult followings, plus Ouija: Origin also lumps in the Flanagan contingency. Lotta venn diagrams overlapping here

Josh Nunn

They should do Highlander sometime soon but my god the tabletop buzzsaw is hilarious

Kevin Grow

Think this solidifies a Highlander series in the near future

Manton

Especially considering Ben's promise to endanger the others with a sword if Highlander wins.

Dan Johnson

Jarnathon

Manton

the bottom falling out on highlander

jackson kim murphy

We will get Taylor Kitsch to the end of the line!

Matthew Chmiel

what am I missing re: Tabletop?

Luca Bruno

Byelander.

Rob Bliss

How do I downvote a comment on here?

Matthew Chmiel

First hard choice yet. Gonna vote Highlander for Ben, but I know it's a lost cause.

Joshua Athridge

Voted twice by accident, sorry Marie

Terry Ballard

If your removed Honor Among Thieves from the list, it would be much closer. I'm convinced that like 60% of the tabletop votes are just for that movie.

Liz Norris

Tabletop supremacy

Cody F. Schmidt

The tabletop buzzsaw continues.

Alaric Hahn

This is the most disappointing consequence of nerd culture’s rise to prominence since Quantumania, but at least it’s always fun to watch Clue and I am glad David Sims will get to probably say kind things about Honor Among Thieves again lol

Chris Scarin

I voted for Tabletop, but now I feel kinda bad for Highlander after seeing the current score.

Mikko Viinikka

That and Clue, aye. But I’ve not been on board for any of these tangentially linked offerings. The premise is franchises.

James Heath

Hearing Ben on Highlander was the only thing worth voting for.

Zachary Stein

Goodbye Highlander

Brett Holliday

Having previously voted for Highlander I’ve now switched to Tabletop as it might be the only one with sufficient Benergy to vanquish ye vile olde Tory ALW… ⚔️🐲🎲🤞🏾

Manish Agarwal

People are even excited about the Battleship episode. '27 Yankees of miniseries

FirstPet BirthStreet

How about we just go fund me a sword for Ben?

BulletProofDrunk17

Highlander gettin put in it's place. Lol

Frog Dimples (Jesse)

It’s gotta be Ben’s choice. Highlander all the way!

Eric

ohhh Jarnathan

Alex Crandall

everyone is rightly very excited for D&D: Honor Among Thieves

Eric Brown

The Top 4 are Highlander, Tabletop Games, Pulp Heroes, and Andrew Lloyd Webber? I can't lose!

M

Let’s bring it home, nerds. For Jarnathan!

Deven KB

That drippy axe has total Ben energy

Andrew Rogers

It’s great because the first D&D and Ouija films are flaming pieces of dogshit, but you get surprise bangers out of the second D&D and Ouija films!

Matthew Chmiel

I would love both but gotta vote Highlander for more Jamelle!

Wade Hollomon

I want ben to buy the sword!!

Barry Wigham

Really not understanding the boner a lot of y’all apparently have for these tabletop games films. At best, 2 of them attempt to be actual adaptations of the games.

James Heath

Clue AND D&D mini series? No brainer.

Bread

Sorry Ben, but Jarnathan isn’t in any of the Highlanders

Gabriel Martino

There can be only one

ian

There can be only one, and it won't be Highlander.

Zef Wagner

Accidentally voted Tabletop Games but I meant to do the opposite. Bummer it seems like my vote would've swayed it

Benjamin South

I howled when I voted and saw the results 🕵️

Matthew O'Reilly

I can’t believe y’all are doing Ben so dirty.

Tyler Duggan

Don't kill my dreams of a Ben and Jamelle Bouie Highlander episode like this. I love other friends doing commentaries with y'all.

Calahan Riley

I really like the Figbiz Highlander figure, has the Katana from Ramirez

Jason Lynch

The Clue episode tho

Brett Tucker

voting for the stealth flanagan series

Alejandro G

Flames, flames on the side of my face

Trevor Talley

Feeling spicy right now. Clue is wildly overrated

Kenny Madison

Can we get Highlander into single digits?

Matthew Chmiel

I want the sword but Clue is one one my favorite movies 😭 can Ben wield a candlestick in that episode?

Savannah

Jesus, Highlander getting absolutely bodied

Zach Dishman

Ben

john-kawika shelton

Ben. Sword. This should be easy!!! Highlander, there can be only one!!!

Benjamin Ogden

I feel personally attacked

Jordan Cook

D&D! D&D! D&D!!!

Mrshieldsy

This and Spike winning just make for a great Friday

Jack Barr

Ah crap, this is the most disappointing result so far. Highlander would have been great! Not so keen on the thrown together series, no real through line.

Tom Matuszewski

voting for Ben to get a sword is the only option imo
