MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 25
Added 2024-03-25 16:00:41 +0000 UTCDick Tracy told Hercule Poirot to shave his mustache and go back to Belgium - Tracy and the other Pulp Heroes move on to the next round!
Speaking of next rounds, here is an update on where we stand going into the ELITE EIGHT:
Up today - a short guy vs a Tall Guy.
It's TABLETOP GAMES vs RICHARD CURTIS ROMCOMS.
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 RICHARD CURTIS ROMCOMS, we'd cover five of his most beloved scripts:
The Tall Guy
Four Weddings & A Funeral
Notting Hill
Love Actually
About Time
So - do you want to hear David freak out about how much he loves D&D? Or freak out over how inaccurate the depiction of Notting Hill is in NOTTING HILL?
Comments
Dang, I just watched Four Weddings as a Lynch chaser and remembered some Curtis discussion happening here…found the post to revisit/see if a Curtis miniseries is in the cards and am seeing a 25% vote for it so lol I GUESS NOT😭

2024-11-27 19:43:43 +0000 UTCIt's coming down to Pulp Heroes v. Tabletop
Joel Cunningham
2024-03-26 15:19:21 +0000 UTCTall guy is seriously a movie? By the poster alone I’d think mad magazine sendup.
Josh Harvey
2024-03-26 02:52:58 +0000 UTCI am very interested in what The Tall Guy is based on that poster….haha. But hearing Ben able to weigh in the new D & D and Clue is wonderful. Table Top all the way!!
Corby Weyhmiller
2024-03-26 02:34:36 +0000 UTCAt this point in the game, I’m all Tabletop. I mean, at least you get some freakin variety. The other juggernaut seems to be Sandler, which is (c’mon) the same movie over and over. Vote well unless you really just need one of the hosts to point out every time Sandler says, “Hoobity shoobity doo!” in his old movies. For, like, 5 movies.

2024-03-26 02:23:14 +0000 UTCI don’t want to bankrupt myself stuffing the ballot with multiple subs…but I’m considering it.
Robert Young
2024-03-26 00:35:10 +0000 UTCGood. I want Highlander to destroy Equalizer! Then we’ll see…
James Manning
2024-03-26 00:12:12 +0000 UTC*Arsenio-style whoops*

2024-03-25 23:13:09 +0000 UTCYeah what this guy said!
FirstPet BirthStreet
2024-03-25 23:12:33 +0000 UTCYou see? Like the Mounties, Tabletop Games always gets its man!
Adam Mincks
2024-03-25 22:53:30 +0000 UTCI guess if Clive is out I’ll put my energy behind Tabletop and Pulp.
Colin
2024-03-25 22:45:29 +0000 UTCNothing wrong with that.
Donald W Pratt
2024-03-25 21:53:57 +0000 UTCThe Tall Guy should fight Slenderman
Will McLaren
2024-03-25 21:53:49 +0000 UTCVoting is fun! PODCASTS ARE FUN
sheabobay
2024-03-25 21:50:16 +0000 UTCNah, Highlander. We all love Ben.
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-25 21:03:23 +0000 UTCClue and Honor Among Thieves are the only interesting movies in tabletop. Happy is gonna crush everyone anyway!
James Manning
2024-03-25 20:36:33 +0000 UTCPulp has to get past Happy first. No easy task.
James Manning
2024-03-25 20:34:19 +0000 UTCI am a Curtis fellow myself, but battleship would be such a fun ep. In my memory they use ‘explosion covers the use of the f word’ at least twice. Also it’s about how being Liam Neeson’s prospective son-in-law is hard??
Ben Bequette
2024-03-25 20:20:54 +0000 UTCTABLETOP! TABLETOP! TABLETOP!
Eggnog The Space Cadet
2024-03-25 19:48:46 +0000 UTCI want every episode to be recorded while playing the relevant tabletop game. And for Griffin to cast Magic Missile, of course.
Michael C
2024-03-25 19:39:56 +0000 UTCHonor Among Thieves is great but the juice in tabletop games is seeing Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons
CJ Foss
2024-03-25 19:18:06 +0000 UTCTwo Wins & A Folding (Like Laundry)
Manish Agarwal
2024-03-25 18:52:02 +0000 UTCThis just made me hungry for Thai food.
Chris Radicone
2024-03-25 18:44:19 +0000 UTCMy wife would have loved the Richard Curtis Patreon, but I hope Tabletop takes the whole thing. There are some gems here.. I agree that "Honor among Thieves" was a sleeper and is pretty dang good. I'd also add to table-top games: TAG: The Assassination Game with Robert Carradine and Linda Hamiltons firsr feature film and starring role.
Chris Radicone
2024-03-25 18:42:22 +0000 UTCAhhh! I was just going for the cheap laugh, “David grew up in London…WHAT!!!” bit, but this is interesting info. Thx :)
David Celaya
2024-03-25 18:15:15 +0000 UTCLet's bring out the Ouija board and start talking with The Tall Guy
Carolyn
2024-03-25 17:50:19 +0000 UTCAh well, I would have eaten up a conversation about THE TALL GUY.
Erich Van Dussen
2024-03-25 17:40:34 +0000 UTCIf this was just The Tall Guy vs. Tabletop i might go Tall Guy, but i have 0 interest in the rest of those movies.
Dan Palesano
2024-03-25 17:22:40 +0000 UTCNot positive, but I believe it'd likely be because Notting Hill used to be primarily an Afro-Caribbean immigrant neighborhood, including when the film would have taken place and there's nary one black person in the whole movie 😂
Erin Shaw
2024-03-25 17:21:38 +0000 UTCThey already gave their Love Actually takes on the bracket check-in. Episode unnecessary! Three* good** plot lines! * generous ** very generous
Bon Champion
2024-03-25 17:18:00 +0000 UTCJust voting for whatever I think will lose to Pulp the hardest.
Robert Young
2024-03-25 17:09:51 +0000 UTCWait…why would David freak out about the description of Notting Hill?
David Celaya
2024-03-25 17:05:41 +0000 UTCThank you everyone. Maybe democracy does work
R. Grossman
2024-03-25 16:59:41 +0000 UTCTabletop games all the way, bay-bee!
Deven KB
2024-03-25 16:56:13 +0000 UTCI just want David to talk about both D&D movies. Since TNG didn't get through, this is now my only passion. I love it when David is the one who nerds out about stuff.
Robert Zakes
2024-03-25 16:56:06 +0000 UTCHonestly, just want a Clue episode and a Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves episode. Two great films!
Rob Bliss
2024-03-25 16:55:48 +0000 UTCTabletop Games all the way. We're going to the big show, nerds!
Beardmask
2024-03-25 16:48:55 +0000 UTCGood riddance to bad rubbish (aka Richard Curtis' full body of work)
Isaac Adams
2024-03-25 16:48:03 +0000 UTCThis is an unexpected landslide to me. Ah well.
Anthony Regina
2024-03-25 16:38:56 +0000 UTCJust to be clear, they’re gonna wait to start recording until Jarnathan shows up, right?
William Garcia
2024-03-25 16:35:43 +0000 UTCIt's fun to see something get annihilated this late in the game
Jonah
2024-03-25 16:31:04 +0000 UTCToughest vote yet.
Terry Ballard
2024-03-25 16:29:14 +0000 UTCFor Jarnathan
Gabriel Martino
2024-03-25 16:26:37 +0000 UTCGuys I watched notting hill this weekend AND about time! These movies are so sincere and silly and cute and would bring such an interesting energy to the pod. Vote for love
Blake Anderson
2024-03-25 16:25:43 +0000 UTCthey should do an episode where one of them is watching The Tall Guy and the other is watching 2012 jessica biel horror film The Tall Man
David
2024-03-25 16:22:55 +0000 UTCTabletop BUZZSAW!
Alaric Hahn
2024-03-25 16:19:21 +0000 UTCI was ready to vote tabletop games, but look at how goofy Rowan Atkinson is on The Tall Guy poster!
ed wine supernova
2024-03-25 16:15:31 +0000 UTCOkay, this is where I finally feel safe letting go of Richard Curtis and protecting him from David's wrath
Emily Scott
2024-03-25 16:15:01 +0000 UTCCome on, give me that sweet sweet Curry action!
Donald W Pratt
2024-03-25 16:14:01 +0000 UTCLove Actually episode would be fun for everyone hating it, but I think tabletop has more juice
Begemott
2024-03-25 16:13:50 +0000 UTCMazes and Monsters deserves to make the list imo
cybersnacks
2024-03-25 16:13:25 +0000 UTCTabletop vs Pulp Heroes in the finals, right?

2024-03-25 16:12:16 +0000 UTCI'm all in for Tabletop but I feel compelled to watch whatever the hell The Tall Guy is??
big red robot
2024-03-25 16:12:15 +0000 UTCWitchboard is also an awesome movie about Ouija boards.
Jordan Cook
2024-03-25 16:11:26 +0000 UTCTabletop all the way baby!
Chris Miracle
2024-03-25 16:09:00 +0000 UTCThis is hard. I love a lot of the Curtis romcoms, but I think tabletop will provide for more entertaining episodes and does have a couple gems.
Chad Perry
2024-03-25 16:08:21 +0000 UTCMain feed is getting serious. Let's chill out with some tabletop
Evan
2024-03-25 16:08:19 +0000 UTCJarnathan!!

2024-03-25 16:07:44 +0000 UTCRichard Curtis getting buried like he deserves.
Holden Martinson
2024-03-25 16:07:38 +0000 UTCDon’t blame me, I’m voting for the burrito crimes of Battleship!
Benjamin White
2024-03-25 16:07:36 +0000 UTCIs this the end of the line for Love Actually????
Jon Auerbach
2024-03-25 16:07:26 +0000 UTCThe Tall Guy should come with a warning label from the Surgeon General.
Adam Bruski
2024-03-25 16:07:23 +0000 UTCMan, this is going to be a true obliteration.
Erick Sanchez
2024-03-25 16:07:15 +0000 UTCTabletop games is a fucking wagon, everybody get on
Joseph Johnson
2024-03-25 16:06:55 +0000 UTCi knew Curtis wasn’t long for this world 😪

Andrew Carden
2024-03-25 16:03:29 +0000 UTCBummed about Oz/Henson but at least I get to watch Love Actually get bodied
Anthony Pierre Coco
2024-03-25 16:03:16 +0000 UTCThis is revenge for Linklater fans boosting the vote /s
Jack Barr
2024-03-25 16:03:12 +0000 UTCI lost Oz/Henson so Jarnathan is the only thing keeping me going
