MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 26

Will anything be able to stop Tabletop Games as it makes its way to the finals?? Shedding a tear right now for the Love Actually episode that will never be.

Up today - Romance! Cheese! Curly haired women!

It's ROBIN HOOD vs ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER.

With ROBIN HOOD, we'd cover five films:

Robin Hood (Disney Hot Fox)
Robin Hood (Errol Flynn)
Robin Hood (Kevin Costner)
Robin Hood (Russell Crowe)
Robin Hood (Taron Edgerton)

With ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, we'd cover the four feature film adaptations of his musicals:

Jesus Christ Superstar
Evita
Phantom of the Opera
Cats

Will you be singing the Bryan Adams song from the Costner Robin Hood today?? Or "The Music of the Night" from Phantom??

Comments

YUP.

CT

Notice that you know a LOT about this movie…because it has already been discussed a LOT. You’ve already heard the stories. We all have. You know what movie I’ve never heard a production story about? Ernest Scared Stupid, and now I never will.

CT

Given that David’s a ST fan, I’m hoping that TNG happens at some point in the future regardless of how whether or not it wins a bracket.

Alan Howell

I want to watch Cats again but if someone finds me rewatching that movie without a good excuse I'm afraid I'll be evicted from my home.

Michael Lupher

(clearing throat) Robins Hood

longhornsteve

I half agree. At least ALW would be funny.

Tyler Duggan

We lost the TNG movies for this bullshit???

Jon Ryves

There’s a lot to talk about. Director V Studio. Can Broadway be adapted in modern times with current filmmaking trends? Why was the director voluntarily editing the cgi up to *four hours* before the red carpet premiere? LOTS to discuss… and also about the other films! How is Gerard Butler cast as the Phantom?! Did anyone know Emmy Rossum could sing like that while she was portraying a girl getting railed time-and-time again on Shameless? How hot is Emmy Rossum? Is Emmy Rossum the hottest woman to ever sing Phantom songs? Emmy Rossum - v. Hot, yes or no?

Tyler Duggan

A bunch of mid episodes to avoid one episode you can skip?

Zach Neal

Roxanne!

Michael P

I also recommend Chris and Joe on This Had Oscar Buzz talking about Cats. I agree it’s overdone.

Harley Richard

1. The proportions of the cats is weird and changes a lot 2. The special effects were so bad they released an updated version after the movie had already been in theaters 3. Hey, y’all, just what is a jellicle cat?!! It’s so hilarious that they don’t define it!! 4. *snrt* Hey, what if there was a BUTTHOLE edition that *snrt* showed the cat’s buttholes?! And THAT’S everything that has ever been said about Cats, and ever needs to be said.

CT

1000 Robin Hoods in a row would still be less boring than another podcast talking about effing Cats

CT

I am going to a Jesus Christ Superstar movie singalong at a theatre this weekend and I am READY FOR CARL

Laura Bee

Honesty, at this point I’m voting for anything to assassinate Cats. I cannot imagine anything more boring than this gang having to talk about the most talked about bad movie of this current century. Go listen to Paul and Jason’s Cats episode (from like 3 years ago!! for perspective) of How Did This Get Made if you’re that desperate for fun Cats commentary.

CT

I'm feeling this is a heavy pro-Cats electorate.

Christopher Teuma

Yeah I hear you on the homophobia. Being hateful toward something that is a musical is piling on that aspect of how musicals are treated in culture.

Christopher Teuma

Only their buttholes #ReleaseTheButtholeCut

Mark Haugan

King Harrod's Song FTW

Mark Haugan

Andrew Lloyd Webber is a failure of language.

Christopher Teuma

And these cats are NOT hep.

Christopher Teuma

They're all completely different, and they all completely fuck with the myth and make shit up for completely their own reasons.

Christopher Teuma

Robin hoods beat out TNG, will vote against them forever

Winson Paine

Voting for variety

Nathan

They sing now.

Chris Almberg

Correct!

Maricela Gonzalez

No no the fellow phan sickos are here. I'm obsessed with this silly beautiful ridiculous musical and movie

Maricela Gonzalez

They sing now?

Charles

Hot fox is getting hot boxed!! #Justice4Ernest

Josh Harvey

I’ve said this before, but will say it again: I despise Lloyd Webber, his influence on the musical theater has been baleful, and the movies range from mediocre to abominable. All that said, bad movies can make for good episodes, and if it saves us from Schumacher or Hooper series, that’s a net gain. Also, Lindsay Ellis should be a guest on at least one episode! Re the Robin Hoods, the series would include 1 classic, 2 flawed but interesting-to-discuss movies, and 2 that are largely forgotten. It also should really include Robin and Marian: it stars Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn! It’s far from perfect, but is elevated by the performances.

MoCoSwede

ALW all the way. Antonio Banderas is my hot fox

Jennifer Riggs

I think that possibility is close to zero though, I’ve been surprised to see people thinking it’s this plausible scenario

Rad Rodge

Everyone who's like "Hot Fox, Hot Fox," this is just all the more reason to do The X-Files.

Holden Martinson

CATS! SINGING CATS!

Sloane Martin

VOTE WITH YOUR HEARTS GUYS I LOVE ALL OF YOU AS FRIENDS! 💚

sheabobay

Neither of these

CT13

March madness ends on, easter. Jesus Christ superstar must win.

Kevin Fennell

That’s just too many Robin Hoods. Sorry. Also Cats.

Susan Hoffa

This Patreon is full of sickos and I’ve come to accept it

Blake Anderson

ALW IS A TORY SCUMBAG! Vote for the fox and a foxy Costner!

Joe Turner

I hope this is the real one because I just found a nickel in the hallway.

Chris Radicone

When it’s two categories I’m not in love with, gotta prefer short and diverse

JB

The only ones I've gotten right so far is Tabletop games and Happy Madison

Broccololipop

I cordially detest ALW, but if he wins, a Blank Check autopsy on Cats is the silver lining.

Robbie McKane

Hot Fox Vs Abomination Cats

Ryan Spearman

This is surely The Darkest Timeline.

Ryan Baker

tyler, which criticisms? do you believe there are NO valid criticisms of it?

disk-kun, the mascot for the famicom disk system

Just remember Gerard Butler is the Phantom, let's good!

Carolyn

Guys 5 Robin Hoods in a row is just boring, sorry

Anthony Pierre Coco

Tabletop games will crush either of these

Jake

Haven't seen Evita but Phantom, JCS, and Cats are each fascinating, bizarre things with a lot to unpack.

Michael Lupher

Could listen to Butler bellow all day haha

24HRVideo

Had the hots for foxy Maid Marion back in the day.

John Machala

No no, the issue with Andrew Lloyd Webber is the sound of that music being popular.

Christopher Teuma

Don't cry for J.C.-ta.

Christopher Teuma

Think about all the Blankies who were NEVER gonna see it who might have to reconsider their seemingly simple life choice.

Christopher Teuma

The furries are really coming out ahead today no matter where the cards fall.

Robert Young

If the people need a series of a podcast about Andrew Lloyd Webber, then that's what the people deserve. Hosanna Hey Sanna Sanna Sanna Ho. Sanna Hey Sanna Ho San na.

Christopher Teuma

I own the dvd, soundtrack, and a picture of Emmy Rossum! I actually think the criticisms of the movie are quite poor and reek of dogwhistles for misogyny and homophobia

Tyler Duggan

Cats is hands down the worst ALW music ever and arguably the worst musical ever that I have personally referred to it since I saw it in the 1980s as 3 hours of my life I will never get back but I am still voting ALW because I know #thetwofriends will be hilarious in their discussions exposing ALW for the hack that he is but sorry I ride or die for EVITA so don’t cry for me Argentina 🤲🏼

Alison R.B.

Maybe the only one who actually really likes Phantom, both in the comments and on the planet

24HRVideo

Hot Fox! Hot Fox! Hot Fox!

Geraint Thomas

Thinking this is just about Cats is full Jesus Christ Superstar and Evita erasure.

Gretchen Lindensmith

I just.....I just don't want to watch Cats again....Musicals are great but I'd rather see them live, plus they're gonna be talking through the musical parts I just don't think it'll be as much fun as a proper main feed. I am not even a fan of Robin Hood but Hot Fox is better than ALW Patreon any day.

Chris Radicone

I'm doing it because I met Alan Parker once. And I can't cope with hearing "Raabenud" for a month.

heather

Don’t worry! Both of these are weak and neither stands a chance in hell of winning.

James Manning

There is allegedly a lost butthole cut of Hot Fox, if that helps swing any votes

Mac Johnson

Wait… all these ALW votes are just for cats??? We’d have to deal with the most boring miniseries ever for two months just two listen to the two friends angrily watch cats??? I’m not seeing it. Not without the butthole cut.

Chloe Jade Skye

To be clear, I'm not casting a vote FOR Robin Hood, but rather AGAINST Cats.

Wyatt Gray

🚨CATS🚨

Conor Dabler

Cats! Cats! Cats! Cats! Cats!

ian

Truly. Tabletop Games is my #1, but I also really, *really* want a JCS episode.

DJ Nekroman

Webber? Really? TIL a lot of Blankies hate music.

John Dog

Listen, we all had our fun with Cats when it came out, now society needs to just move on. There are 3 others on that list, and I am simply not watching the rest of those musicals.

HappyCroc

Truly voting for ALW just for the JCS episode. I'm sure the other three movies would make entertaining episodes, but I *love* JCS and wanna hear their opinions on it (good or bad).

DJ Nekroman

😔 Puts away my Lady Cluck costume

Lobo

(In a sexual context)

Adam King

(On me)

Adam King

But I do know how he CAN go down ;) ;) ;)

Adam King

I think just the mere possibility of PFT as a guest for an ALW ep is behind 80% of the votes

Pure Guava

nobody gaf bout robbin hood

LukeTheNerd

Hot Fox doesn’t deserve to go down like this

Betty Vaughan Granberg

hot fox vs the scariest anthropomorphic cats ever set to screen

Abby May

I'm thrilled for lord webber to win

Ryan Michael Liston

I like Robin Hood but that'll quickly turn into "We covered this, didn't we?"

Doug Robertson

Webber is my ultimate nemesis, he must be vanquished.

Colin

Oh, so the chaos agents just want to listen to the crew watch Cats

Emily Scott

Andrew Lloyd Webber should include the Donny Osmond Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat!

FreakaJebus

HOT FOX > CATZ

DM

I actually switched to your side in this duel, just in time to lose haha

Rad Rodge

Voted Robin Hood, but I don’t overly care. It will be Tabletop Games vs Happy Madison in the finals.

Michael Curley

These are surely the words of someone who has not watched JCS though

Rad Rodge

Today's Special, a shit sandwich.

Abe Something

I’m just here for the cats dialogue

Matt

Gonna have to carve someone's heart out with a spoon if Webber wins. 😄

Heather Beckley

CATS CATS CATS

Charles

What is wrong with you people?

Dr. Hal Raglan

I... did not expect the Robins Hood to be behind. C'mon people, Hot Fox is better than unhinged CGI cat people, right? Right??

Kerry Benton

Hot fox!

Maxwell Partington

How either of those got this far is beyond me

James Heath

UP UP UP UP

Laura Bee

Robin Hood 2018 hive?? You’ve abandoned me alone??

Ben Weiner

Think of Hood Think of him fondly When we’ve said GOODBYE!!!

Chet Kazalski

No Men In Tights, means no vote!

John F Parrish

I vote my heart, and my heart is a hot fox.

Liz Miller

you crazy kids and your cats (dear god not cats please)

Darby Dixon III

Folks, Carl Anderson is worth the rest of it

Brian Cruice

Actually like all the Robin Hood’s more or less, lukewarm on the ALW’s. Cats would be fun obviously

John Howell

🎵Cats... Cats cats cats cats! I'm Rumpleteazerrrrrrr, I'm a cat!🎵

George Dunne

Would have voted Robin Hood if it included Men in Tights

Benjamin Suarato

MIIIIIIILLLLKK

Kevin Gesme

Lovers of hot foxes unite!

Amanda's Picture Show A Go Go

Going to be salty as hell if Andrew Lloyd Webber is the ultimate winner.

Sean Craven

I need a CATS commentary. In my veins

Jamie

WE WANT CATS

Aidan Middleton

Five Robin Hood movies and not a single railway train to be seen. Pathetic.

Skimbleshanks The Railway Cat

I can’t believe y’all threw Star Trek overboard for Hot Fox only to abandon him in his time of greatest need…

Michael Feraco-Eberle

Those damn cats

Martín Peréz

I dont understand the appeal of ALW. All those movies are straight trash and borderline unwatchable.

Jordan Grimes

Me-OW

Berkreviews.com

I don’t know what any of that means. Thankfully, tabletop games is gonna make sure I don’t have to find out!

lil rob

It would be my nightmare for either of these to win

Michael Hollenbeck

Anti-Lynch on main. Anti-Webber on the Patreon.

Matthew Chmiel

We want hot fox!!

Chad Perry

Cats vs Battleship: Cat-ttleship-s!

Jon M.

Hot fox I am so SORRY

Mason Diab

HOT FOX HOT FOX

Adam King

Sing for me my angel of PODCAST

Ricky Bardy

The Jellicles are sending the Robins Hood to the Heaviside Layer. See ya, pals.
