MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 22
Added 2024-03-22 16:00:13 +0000 UTCOooh, it was kind of close, but Richard Curtis has vanquished the Jay Ward adaptations!
Up today - sick and twisted perversions. Fetish content. Freak shit.
It's CLIVE BARKER ADAPTATIONS vs ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER ADAPTATIONS.
With CLIVE BARKER, we would cover SIX films based on his stories - OKAY WE ADDED MIDNIGHT MEAT TRAIN. CHOO CHOO:
Hellraiser
Rawhead Rex
Nightbreed
Candyman
Lord of Illusions
The Midnight Meat Train
With ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, we'd cover the four feature film adaptations of his musicals:
Jesus Christ Superstar
Evita
Phantom of the Opera
Cats
Which level of insanity do you choose?
Comments
Holy hell he won….how? Why? Is this reality?!

Maricela Gonzalez
2024-03-23 13:32:40 +0000 UTCWill #thetwofriends cover the theatrical release of CATS or the fabled "butthole" cut?
John Machala
2024-03-23 13:27:59 +0000 UTCReally don’t want to be dramatic but if ALW doesn’t win I will kms
Jennifer Riggs
2024-03-23 07:45:57 +0000 UTCI feel like we need a separate scumbums podcast
Trevor Talley
2024-03-23 07:11:24 +0000 UTCI am realizing that there is a third of us that is cool and I'm in it
Trevor Talley
2024-03-23 07:10:29 +0000 UTCFuckin big agree. This is antiqueer
Trevor Talley
2024-03-23 07:09:31 +0000 UTCIt's like you all hate Ben...for shame...the chain's!
Chris Radicone
2024-03-23 04:16:34 +0000 UTCSex NEGATIVE? You did listen to last week’s main feed, yeah? You’d think Mallory Rubin was running the pod with the begging there to be some sort of follow through to any kind of sexual tension in MEDICINE MAN.
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-23 02:50:32 +0000 UTCI think David is gonna blow us away with his hot take, based on his published review
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-23 02:49:15 +0000 UTCBetween Barker, Ernest and Luca getting voted out, I think it's clear Blankies are sex negatives. Then again, if they release the butthole cut of Cats...
Harry Russ
2024-03-23 02:30:37 +0000 UTCDench and McKellen are clearly giving it their all, in an utterly misconceived film.
MoCoSwede
2024-03-23 02:15:24 +0000 UTCThank god we might get a chance to hear a podcast that’s derisive about Cats and talks about its weird choices, strange casting, and bad special effects! It’s…it’s just never been done, y’all! FINALLY someone might talk about this k-razy movie! What a unique treat at long last!!
CT
2024-03-23 00:44:53 +0000 UTCIt’s truly breaking my heart here
Dylan C
2024-03-23 00:44:24 +0000 UTCWith Clive Barker, you get to hear them cover David Cronenberg as an actor (he's got quite a big role in Nightbreed)!
Trevor A
2024-03-23 00:36:21 +0000 UTCYep! Nightbreed is awesome.
Mark Keathley
2024-03-23 00:13:40 +0000 UTCOH MY GOD PEOPLE IF YOU LET CLIVE BARKER LOSE THIS ROUND IM ACTUALLY GOING TO CRY
Dylan C
2024-03-22 23:55:53 +0000 UTCWell that can’t be right; I thought we were dang ass freaks here

Alex Lovendahl
2024-03-22 22:09:33 +0000 UTCIt’s not that cats is bad. It’s that cats is so bad they may need to take a gummy to deal with it
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-22 21:30:45 +0000 UTCIf we don’t get ALW how else will we learn that a cat is not a dog

2024-03-22 20:22:44 +0000 UTCLindsay Ellis is another obvious guest for that episode.
MoCoSwede
2024-03-22 20:21:26 +0000 UTCIf it does end up being ALW, they have to get Jamie Loftus on for the Phantom of the Opera. She’s a rabid Phantomhead
Donald W Pratt
2024-03-22 19:52:01 +0000 UTCNow that's the movie we should all want to see mischievously little furry cenobites.

Kevin Fennell
2024-03-22 19:01:17 +0000 UTCSee, I saw it after I saw Last Temptation of Christ, so I didn’t get the same wow with it. I don’t even hate the musical, I just don’t love the movie.

Harry Kolmer
2024-03-22 18:05:38 +0000 UTCCome on, people. Anne Bobby singing “Johnny Get Angry” in Nightbreed is better than any of the numbers in any of the ALW movies.
Mark Keathley
2024-03-22 18:05:35 +0000 UTCVote for Clive. A funny episode about Cats isn’t worth it at all
Max M
2024-03-22 18:01:39 +0000 UTCjust don’t say I’m damned for all time
Michael Guarnieri
2024-03-22 17:53:20 +0000 UTCYou fools have introduced Cats (2019) into the equation and now it's going to coast. This is the real life March Madness equivalent to letting one of the teams use guns.

2024-03-22 17:21:31 +0000 UTCI am going to repeat my comment from the previous ALW bracket that I need #thetwofriends to go Rainbow High 🌈 on Madonna’s performance in Evita and then send her packing with Another Suitcase 🧳 Another Hall 🙏🏼
Alison R.B.
2024-03-22 17:17:36 +0000 UTCCats talk is overdone.
Jordan Coleman
2024-03-22 17:14:39 +0000 UTCI really want Clive to take this whole thing.
Colin
2024-03-22 17:13:05 +0000 UTCThe Jesus Christ Superstar movie is non-ironically awesome. It's more than just "But if you think about it, Jesus was just like a hippie, man;" viewing Judas as a true believer who didn't think his leader was committed enough to the cause of righteousness blew my mind when I was younger.

Mason Diab
2024-03-22 17:01:41 +0000 UTCAw man I know it’s a long shot but I’d love to hear them talk Nightbreed. Such a weird movie that’s been kinda forgotten but has interesting stuff going on
Alison Abrams
2024-03-22 16:57:05 +0000 UTCI have no personal investment here so I decided to consult the comments, and congratulations Lord Webber fans for on the whole being less negative!

Izzy G
2024-03-22 16:42:30 +0000 UTCGod! Come on Clive! All of the ALW movies suck! What the hell, people? Bad versions of meh musicals.
Joe Turner
2024-03-22 16:39:26 +0000 UTCNoooooooo, the Cats crowd is gonna win huh? Were are the sickos?
Steve Geiler
2024-03-22 16:36:32 +0000 UTCHahaha who wants to hear them discuss cats?!? When I saw these two I thought it’d be an easy win for Clive but apparently people want musicals
nate kidd
2024-03-22 16:33:12 +0000 UTCIf ALW wins, they should add on to the end of the JCS episode coverage of the Mr. Show sketch Jeepers Creepers Semi Star.

24HRVideo
2024-03-22 16:19:07 +0000 UTCAndrew Lloyd Webber is homophobic and Clive Barker is one of our best gay genre writers, this the easiest choice of the whole Patreon bracket
Connor Meehan
2024-03-22 16:18:49 +0000 UTCI'm voting for Barker, and if he loses today I will say I'd be happy to hear this selection (even minus one or two of the ones he didn't direct) done on main feed! ALW is a great choice too, though.
Alex Lovendahl
2024-03-22 16:18:33 +0000 UTCI'm sure they'll cover Phantom of the Opera in the Joel Schumacher series
Ian
2024-03-22 16:18:24 +0000 UTCBoth of them freaks
Gretchen Lindensmith
2024-03-22 16:17:55 +0000 UTCA vote for Clive is a vote dang ass freaks and chains!
Mike R
2024-03-22 16:16:29 +0000 UTCI can’t say either excites me in the least - so I’m hoping the winner gets bodied next round.
Chad Perry
2024-03-22 16:15:35 +0000 UTCBefore I vote and glance at results I just want to say one thing: I think they allowed Midnight Meat Train because they 1) know it would never beat some of the others such as Highlander and 2) they *do not* want to have to watch CATS. That said, we doing CATS, BAYBEEE! *slams vote button on ALW!* and just think, if there’s ever any future adaptations, WHICH THEY WILL HAPPEN, They gotta cover it!
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-22 16:15:33 +0000 UTCThe lack of a Starlight Express movie gives Barker a huge train advantage
Berko Pierce
2024-03-22 16:15:03 +0000 UTCThe cenobites quake in fear at musical theater fans, who have gone even farther than they could imagine in blurring the line between pleasure and pain: Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals.
Izzy G
2024-03-22 16:14:55 +0000 UTCMeat Train Choo Choo, these are all the horror movies I adored growing up, seeing them at sleepovers on VHS are great memories but... Please don't make me watch Cats. I love musicals and grew up seeing some of these on Broadway or having the original soundtrack LP. But having to sit through Cats even if it were to goof on is not something I am looking forward to, I did it once for HDTGM and will not do it again. Do I think it would be funny to hear them talk about jellicle Cats sure........hmmm wait, let me think on this for a moment (this was a real time change of heart and its staying in). I decided Barker...c'mon it's not even close.
Chris Radicone
2024-03-22 16:14:03 +0000 UTCIt can be a Ben’s Choice
Jeff Brax

Leah Thomas
2024-03-22 16:12:00 +0000 UTCGood with either of these winning but was so hard choosing. Adding Midnight Meat Train to the Barker lineup sealed the deal for me though. That movie rips (beats, pounds?) plus I want Ben to talk about how big Vinnie Jones is.
