MARCH MADNESS - Day 19
Added 2024-03-19 16:00:10 +0000 UTCIt was close, but Robin Hood and his merry men have prevailed over Picard's crew.
Up today - two powerful screen presences. Thespians.
It's Denzel Washington as THE EQUALIZER vs Jim Varney as ERNEST P. WORRELL.
With THE EQUALIZER, we'd cover the trilogy:
The Equalizer
The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer 3
With ERNEST, we'd cover five theatrically-released comedies:
Ernest Goes to Camp
Ernest Saves Christmas
Ernest Goes to Jail
Ernest Scared Stupid
Ernest Rides Again
Have at it, folks!
Comments
I've really misjudged this community. Do you people even listen to the show? How can you not see that Ernest would be a million times more fun than Equalizer??
R. Grossman
2024-03-21 02:11:06 +0000 UTCNOOOOOOOOO… ERNEST! RIP
Ed Castillo
2024-03-20 22:44:47 +0000 UTCI guess Ernest just got Equalized
David Sky
2024-03-20 15:53:05 +0000 UTCY’all are letting Ben down and making me sad
andy
2024-03-20 15:40:31 +0000 UTCThis is a real blow to people like me who believe that bad, silly movies make for the most fun commentaries. Comedy over serious film takes for me, and, well, Vern... this one stings.
Gabe Smith
2024-03-20 15:37:15 +0000 UTCCome on y’all Ernest would be so hilarious for them to cover. Also when will the guys be able to cover the fascinating career of Jim Varney. They will definitely cover numerous Denzel Washington movies on the main feed. Let’s fight for Ernest!!

2024-03-20 15:22:39 +0000 UTCEqualizer 3 is 🔥
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-20 15:02:14 +0000 UTCY’all took Star Trek from us, so buh-bye Ernest. ‘Cuz Equalizer won’t beat Highlander! So Ben wins, *either way*
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-20 15:01:39 +0000 UTCSome of their best episodes have been bad movies. A MASTER BUILDER, for example, is in my top top top Blank Check eps. But five Ernest movies seems bonkers. It'd be a super sized version of Crocodile Dundee, where the first episode was fun, but then everything else was repetitive and just kind of depressing. It was the Feel Bad miniseries of the season. (Of course, I've never seen Equalizer 2 and 3, so maybe those are like Crocodile Dundee 2 and 3 but with Denzel as the lead instead of 170 pounds of old shoe leather in man form.)

John F Parrish
2024-03-20 06:23:02 +0000 UTCOooo well shit that clinched it for me.
Chris Radicone
2024-03-20 03:47:18 +0000 UTCI’ve never seen a film from either, but I have seen Man on Fire and Taken, so I’ve basically seen all the Equalizer movies. On the other hand, Ernest reads as pure chaos. Why watch 3 identical movies where Denzel shoots up people vs a whole series of random events?? He goes to jail and camp and saves Christmas and gets scared stupid! That really sounds less interesting than Denzel gunning down people for 3 movies straight??

Alex Brierley
2024-03-20 01:36:23 +0000 UTCIll bite as ernest might legitimately be my number one (granted im bringing a lot of nostalgia to the mix) but Jim Varney i think is just a really unique and delightful performer. The movies are silly and goofy and slapsticky but at least from my memory they’re just total positive vibes, like zucker brothers movies for kids based around a main performance by a guy who just nails it. I also think its one of those cases where every entry is better than it needs to be or has any right to be. And ALSO i imagine the series itself will be fun, silly and chaotic which is a bonus for me personally. Equalizer movies are really strong action movies, but i dont think the discussion would be all that much fun, the movies are badass but pretty dour. I know ernest probably won’t win this one and almost definitely won’t win it all but id at least love to see him win this round. Do people really want the equalizer?? I feel like the patreon MM series has the opportunity to get wild, equalizer has a strong chance to get covered anyways
Alex Brierley
2024-03-20 01:29:39 +0000 UTCMy vote is for sale! Tell me why Ernest will be fun and interesting beyond two or three movies! Because I am not looking forward to five of them lol
Kevin Love Hewitt
2024-03-20 01:02:39 +0000 UTCAccording to the Simpsons he also didn’t go somewhere cheap or versus the Pope
Laura Bee
2024-03-20 00:40:06 +0000 UTCI say if Ernest is good enough for MF DOOM, he's good enough for the Patreon feed!

Erin
2024-03-19 23:32:01 +0000 UTCI mean the Equalizer didn't go to camp, jail, save Christma, or get scared stupid, so the choice is clear! Ernest 2024!

2024-03-19 21:06:43 +0000 UTCIt’s frightening how close this is as someone who has never seen and has little interest in seeing an Ernest movie

ajas11
2024-03-19 20:17:01 +0000 UTCIt's 51%/49% with 19hrs left. Denzel needs to get in here and equalize it out.
Hollow Dylan
2024-03-19 20:06:57 +0000 UTCThis is lame guys, I think Denzel only plays one character in the Equalizer movies, Varney plays no less than 4 characters in Scared Stupid ALONE.

Kevin Merryman
2024-03-19 18:36:28 +0000 UTCThink Denzel knows who/what Ernest is? He must right? Somehow I can see him doing the voice.
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
2024-03-19 18:32:34 +0000 UTCThey will do the equalizer eventually either way ppl should vote for Ernest lol
David Figueiredo
2024-03-19 18:26:41 +0000 UTCI mean I gave up watching along with everything a while ago so it doesn’t make a huge difference either way, but in the spirit of competition I hope Denzel beats Ernest with a hammer then neatly replaces it back in the hardware store.
Robert Young
2024-03-19 18:23:09 +0000 UTCI was not expecting these results!

Roxanne Harvey

Hygge State
2024-03-19 18:03:22 +0000 UTCOh please let Ernest eek out a win on the Equalizer! That would be hilarious and an accurate representation of how tough Denzel comes across in those movies.

Bread
2024-03-19 16:59:25 +0000 UTCBoth choices are lame, but I guess Denzel.
Jordan Coleman
2024-03-19 16:56:00 +0000 UTCIt's gotta be Ernest. Yes, the movies are goofy af, but come on, they'll be so much more fun than dour 'ol Equalizer!
Kerry Benton
2024-03-19 16:54:35 +0000 UTCIt's hard to get excited for one of the least funny franchises ever vs Ernest.
Patrick McEvoy
2024-03-19 16:52:18 +0000 UTCI'm sorry, but did the equalizer go to camp? Did they save Christmas? Were they scared stupid? And if you want Denzel context, there's a great main feed contender where you'd get waaaaay more of it and with way better movies.

Colin
2024-03-19 16:15:30 +0000 UTCWhat. The hell. Is happening?? I know Ernest vs Pauly Shore was close because they’re similar. But this is a solid, if unremarkable, action trilogy starring one of the great movie star vs one of the most annoying film series of all time. This is not Crocodile Dundee, people. It’s five movies, none are good!
