MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 23
Added 2024-03-23 16:00:08 +0000 UTCSkimbleshanks the railway cat has commandeered the Midnight Meat Train - ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER moves on to the next round!
Up today - a CIA analyst vs a immortal Scottish guy who may or may not be an alien.
It's JACK RYAN vs HIGHLANDER.
With JACK RYAN, we'd cover the following four films:
Clear & Present Danger
Patriot Games
The Sum of All Fears
Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit
We would NOT cover The Hunt for Red October because we just did on main feed! Also, no Krasinski series.
With HIGHLANDER, we'd cover four movies:
Highlander
Highlander 2: The Quickening
Highlander 3
Highlander Endgame
Who moves on, Jack Ryan or Connor MacLeod?

2024-03-24 15:43:40 +0000 UTCI’m crying over Ryan
Josh Harvey
2024-03-24 15:41:33 +0000 UTCThe only winner I've voted for is Happy Madison. I don't think I fit in here.

2024-03-24 07:27:09 +0000 UTCAdd Search for Vengeance to the Highlander series, we need the Yoshiaki Kawajiri rep on the podcast

2024-03-24 06:32:47 +0000 UTCMy partner LOVES the Highlander movies (at least the two she's seen) and this weekend I got us the third and fourth to watch and she asked about The Source, just in an, 'I thought there was a fifth?' sort of way. And I just was like no, The Source is truly unwatchable I've seen it once and I will never under any circumstances watch it again.

2024-03-24 02:29:04 +0000 UTCI fancy Jack Ryan much more once we can get Red October added back in. So no.

2024-03-23 22:41:00 +0000 UTCFor Ben!

2024-03-23 19:14:25 +0000 UTCI completely forgot about the Pine Jack Ryan movie
Patrick Mike
2024-03-23 18:53:52 +0000 UTCAs someone who has done a podcast episode on The Source, I’m torn between wanting to save them the pain and wanting to hear them suffer:)
Heath Lambert
2024-03-23 18:39:36 +0000 UTCWhich one has more bones in it?
Max Muller
2024-03-23 18:19:26 +0000 UTCIm a Blank Check fan before I’m a Jack Ryan fan, and so Ben gets my vote 🫡
Evan
2024-03-23 18:03:11 +0000 UTCI’ve never seen any of the Highlanders, but the Jack Ryan films feel like diminishing returns, so Highlanders it is. Jamelle Bouie’s is covering the Ryan films from a political angle on his podcast, which is probably more interesting than the filmmaking angle (which is pretty ho-hum).

2024-03-23 18:02:48 +0000 UTCToot! Toot! All aboard for Highlands
Carolyn
2024-03-23 17:54:47 +0000 UTCHow can anyone vote against the pure, wholesome joy of Ben swinging a pretend sword?
Janine Liberty
2024-03-23 17:52:51 +0000 UTClol I still can’t believe he won…highlander and Jack Ryan are good, either.
nate kidd
2024-03-23 17:44:26 +0000 UTCBy chance is there a promo code for Blankies for the video from Town Hall?
Isaiah Bornman
2024-03-23 17:39:47 +0000 UTCIs there no movement about including Highlander: The Source?
Craig A
2024-03-23 17:32:56 +0000 UTCThere can be only one!
Andrew Spitzer
2024-03-23 17:28:26 +0000 UTCthe jack ryan movies are better which is why you should vote highlander
Ben Burbank
2024-03-23 17:27:20 +0000 UTCBranagh as director is absolutely the top priority about a Jack Ryan series for me, I would be voting it farther along if it hadn’t happened to run into Highlander
Rad Rodge
2024-03-23 17:24:45 +0000 UTCRyan! Need more actor talk
Anthony Oleszkiewicz
2024-03-23 17:06:06 +0000 UTCThere can only ben one…
Theodora
2024-03-23 16:51:54 +0000 UTCGot to go with Highlander for the Highlander 2 production stories alone.
Harry Russ
2024-03-23 16:46:17 +0000 UTCThere can be only one… Choice that is duh 💁🏻♀️
Alison R.B.
2024-03-23 16:44:40 +0000 UTCHosley Hive, rise up 🙌
Lucas Pauley
2024-03-23 16:36:59 +0000 UTCHas to be highlander ! Double dose of Connery and just to hear the wtf is this to Highlander 2
Barry Wigham
2024-03-23 16:36:44 +0000 UTCI can't tell if I want Jack Ryan because it's a segue into the weird oeuvre of Kenneth Branagh as a director (sometimes they clear, sometimes they sail into mediocrity baybee) or if I don't want it because Shadow Recruit was one of the cringiest films...voted for Highlander.
Michael C
2024-03-23 16:33:28 +0000 UTCOnce more into the breach... for Ben. 🗡
ChewyWalrus
2024-03-23 16:30:02 +0000 UTCHighlander. More like there should've been only one.

Luke Crawford
2024-03-23 16:18:26 +0000 UTCOkay, good to know. Might just have to check it out one day
Jack Barr
2024-03-23 16:18:01 +0000 UTCThose movies are progressively more unhinged and would culminate in having the crew encounter "sir, they're fucking our pussies"
Winson Paine
2024-03-23 16:17:48 +0000 UTCOOF that barker loss was a little embarrassing people, what are we doing here??
Dylan C
2024-03-23 16:16:58 +0000 UTCI think they made that choice just to hear him pronounce “Juan Sanchez Villalobos Ramirez” at least once.
Miles Lemaire
2024-03-23 16:15:21 +0000 UTCHighlander 1 is a very fun, action sci-fi with a really fun performance by Sean Connery. Highlander 2 is absolutely batshit crazy. If you like genre flicks Highlander is kind of a must see.
Jordan Cook
2024-03-23 16:14:10 +0000 UTCGimme that Benergy! ⚔️
Manish Agarwal
2024-03-23 16:11:52 +0000 UTCThe Garland loss made me a little sad (bye bye Dredd), but the Barker loss really fucking hurt.
FrancescoTakesItEasy
2024-03-23 16:10:37 +0000 UTCI've never seen Highlander. Please tell me 1) is this a better choice and 2) should I check it out for myself
Jack Barr
2024-03-23 16:09:41 +0000 UTCYou must have seen a different movie then, because while not technically good, Highlander fucking rules.

Drew Wobser
2024-03-23 16:07:04 +0000 UTCPeople keep saying "there can only be one," but there are unfortunately three other Highlander movies.
Will Redmond
2024-03-23 16:06:54 +0000 UTCit loses steam but no movie that starts with a beheading in a car park can be all bad
