MARCH MADNESS - Day 18
Added 2024-03-18 16:00:11 +0000 UTCDamn, Tabletop Games is shaping up to be a juggernaut! Sorry to Gomez, Morticia, et al.
Up today - STAR TREK TNG vs ROBIN HOOD!
Wait a second...
With STAR TREK TNG, we'd cover four films:
Star Trek: Generations
Star Trek: First Contact
Star Trek: Insurrection
Star Trek: Nemesis
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)
The choice is yours!

Ok, i promise to be more active here and pay attn (or is that a threat rather than a promise?). Anyhoo, I'm going to vote AND look at what I'm voting for. I didn't look here. I thought it was the TV show. Of course it wasn't, but for some reason that was what was in my head: that somehow they'd do the tv show. It never occurred to me that they meant to do the awful tng movies. And in that case, I'd rather have the Robin Hoods. Much more interesting movies, and much better movies. After Mr Plinkett rightfully tore the tng movies a new hole, i never need to hear anyone talk about them again.

2024-03-20 12:58:52 +0000 UTCI never vote. I let this happen. I'm a bad person.

2024-03-20 03:31:51 +0000 UTCI’d love to hear about the 1938 Robin Hood. The Fox one (much) less so, but that’s the trade-off I suppose.

2024-03-19 22:28:18 +0000 UTCIt irrationally bothered me that the Scott Robin Hood turned king Philip Augustus into the bad buy when in reality he and, more importantly his son Louis the Lion, actively supported the barons who rebelled against King John. I think it would have been bolder to show Robin supporting the invasion of England in order to protect the rights of English men but instead it subsumed actual medieval politics into modern nationalistic framing which dumbed down the movie. The Anderson Three Musketeers of 2011 does the same thing by making the Duke of Buckingham the main villain even though a central point of the book is that he is an enemy of France but an ally of the Musketeers which is used to emphasize the dying of the old world of interpersonal loyalty and patronage to the apparatus of state conflicts and the dying of the romantic ideal of swashbuckler era
Daniel S
2024-03-19 19:17:06 +0000 UTCThat's the second-best moment. The best is when Robin Hood receives a scroll, and on it is written "Draft Notice" in medieval-looking font. Amazing.
Liz Norris
2024-03-19 16:13:24 +0000 UTCThey’re both good but while all 4 treks are conversation worthy I feel like a few of the robinhoods will be boring. I weirdly like any Scott history epic but it’s one of his most inert
Jay Kay
2024-03-19 14:29:30 +0000 UTCadventures of robin hood is one of the greatest films of all time and two of the others star russell crowe and kevin costner. they'll be fine.
Alex Lovendahl
2024-03-19 14:03:52 +0000 UTCGuys, 1 Hot Fox Movie ≠ stellar conversations about a horny crew of space explorers! Remember, there’s *the other* Robin Hood movies… and the boys are gonna be dragging through ‘em.
Tyler Duggan
2024-03-19 13:43:04 +0000 UTCI believe they have said they are gonna do TNG movies one day so I gotta go with the Hot Fox since we might not get that chance anytime soon.
Chris R
2024-03-19 13:24:25 +0000 UTCReally tough call, I so want to hear The Two Friends talk First Contact in particular, but the arc of the Robin Hood films is too good to pass up (even if it means listening to the American pronunciation of Robin Hood constantly for weeks)

Brandon Skidmore
2024-03-19 01:31:52 +0000 UTCYou’re voting on the Patreon of a niche movie podcast in favor a furry movie against a Star Trek series…and you think you’re somehow above the label of nerd?

2024-03-18 22:08:36 +0000 UTCI love TNG. But how much would there really be left to talk about by the third mediocre movie?
Matt
2024-03-18 20:58:24 +0000 UTCAnything is better than more star shit
Ryan
2024-03-18 20:30:24 +0000 UTCTake the next journey! Choose Star Trek!
Reuben
2024-03-18 20:18:59 +0000 UTCThe TNG movies should include Galaxy Quest! It’s great, and I can’t imagine it being covered elsewhere on the podcast; also, it makes the even/odd Star Trek movie quality rule hold true.
MoCoSwede
2024-03-18 20:03:14 +0000 UTCAnything but Trek!
Evelyn Chavanne
2024-03-18 20:02:11 +0000 UTCIf Robin Hood wins, can we still get that TNG episode as part of it?

2024-03-18 18:53:21 +0000 UTCThis one tough, hmmmm idk l guess Robin Hood since we did 1 series Star Trek already
Ancient alien
2024-03-18 18:31:55 +0000 UTCI feel a little hypocritical cause I was super mad at all the people voting for PKD last year just for blade runner, but HOT FOX ALL THE WAY!

Patrizia Man
2024-03-18 18:03:41 +0000 UTCAgain, TNG is not new blood, plus we already have 7 Trek episodes. HOT FOX! Let’s do this friends!
Big Guy
2024-03-18 17:59:49 +0000 UTCJust watched Hot Fox Robin Hood over the weekend and it's great but I absolutely need several hours of David talking about TNG
Joe Arvis
2024-03-18 17:54:03 +0000 UTCObviously TNG. They’ve done the TOS movies. It’s only logical.
David Bishop
2024-03-18 17:53:36 +0000 UTCI recently listened to Patrick Stewart's autobiography, which is one of the all-time great "read by the author" audiobooks! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/100701424-making-it-so
Manish Agarwal
2024-03-18 17:51:28 +0000 UTCI'd be even more interested in Robin Hood if it included the excellent Sean Connery/Audrey Hepburn/Robert Shaw "Robin and Marion" - directed by Richard Lester and written by James Goldman, no less. Not sure why that one isn't included. But, oh well, can't have a perfect world I guess! ;)
Patrick McEvoy
2024-03-18 17:47:16 +0000 UTCI am a MASSIVE Trek fan but the TNG movies do not hold up - Vote Green, Vote R. Hood

Nathan
2024-03-18 17:31:18 +0000 UTCI'm not voting for Star Trek because I'd have to watch all of TOS, original movies, and TNG before I could watch the TNG movies
youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper
2024-03-18 17:26:33 +0000 UTCRaabenud has only ever been good as a TV series and at least with TNG you get to watch a planet explode.
heather
2024-03-18 17:23:59 +0000 UTCdon't really give a fig about about Disney Hood, but i'm happy to watch it. the 1938 film is a masterpiece. TNG is like watching paint dry.
Andrew Morgan
2024-03-18 17:16:07 +0000 UTCThere is a bat shit movie with Patrick Stewart and William Shatner in it. Are we really going to let that slip through our fingers??
Stephen Blakley
2024-03-18 17:09:44 +0000 UTCI’m going to keep the flag flying for including Robin & Marian in a Robin Hood series!

Kathryn Clark
2024-03-18 16:48:06 +0000 UTCNGL I'd be happy with either but TNG >>>
Isaac Adams
2024-03-18 16:43:14 +0000 UTCI also think the TNG movies are more likely to be picked up on their own without the help of MM.
Evan Williams
2024-03-18 16:42:42 +0000 UTCI'm the biggest TNG fan in the world, but the TNG movies are so mid-to-bad that they make me sad.
Charlie Wetherington
2024-03-18 16:42:34 +0000 UTCI understand the level of Star Trek love out there, but come on, it would be way more interesting to hear Blank Check commentaries on a ragtag bunch of wildly different (in terms of overall take as well as quality) Robin Hood movies, than to hear them talk about one good ST:TNG movie and three "meh" ones.
Zef Wagner
2024-03-18 16:39:48 +0000 UTCNothing's stopping anyone from listening to those commentaries. If anyone really wanted to, they would.
pacoismynickname
2024-03-18 16:38:33 +0000 UTCHonestly don’t want either of these to win and don’t think they will but at least the Robin Hoods give a different group of actors to talk about each time
JB
2024-03-18 16:37:14 +0000 UTCThe first Star Trek batch of episodes was enough boring to last a lifetime. Don't bring that upon the rest of us.
pacoismynickname
2024-03-18 16:37:08 +0000 UTCI think my favorite moment in the Egerton Robin Hood is when Ben Mendelsohn talks about using Robin to court "the youth vote" in medieval England
Will Redmond
2024-03-18 16:35:38 +0000 UTCIm choosing robin hoods cause theyll def be doing TNG someday no matter what! Chaos!
sheabobay
2024-03-18 16:33:07 +0000 UTCJust a reminder to everyone that Insurrection has the best directors commentary of all time. Vote TNG if you want an excuse to listen to Jonathan Frakes wrangle an increasingly tipsy Marina Sirtis.
Geraint Thomas
2024-03-18 16:32:43 +0000 UTCThe ONLY good Robin Hood movie is the animated Disney version. The Prince of Thieves is ok, and the rest are hot trash, although the bits for Guy Ritchies Robin Hood could be fun. Regardless, TNG for life!
Chris Radicone
2024-03-18 16:31:20 +0000 UTCThe Errol Flynn Adventures of Robin Hood is one of the best movies ever made!
Zack Stoudemayer
2024-03-18 16:31:01 +0000 UTCseems like the Key & Peele version of Andre 3000

Jon Auerbach
2024-03-18 16:26:10 +0000 UTCYall seriously can't let Robin Hood beat Star Trek. I know it'll prob get trounced later in the bracket, but you seriously can't let a bunch of mediocre Robin Hood movies beat Star Trek. 😩

2024-03-18 16:22:09 +0000 UTCWe all love hot fox but the other Robin Hoods are such nothingburgers! Star Trek all the waaaaayyy

theintention
2024-03-18 16:20:53 +0000 UTCMaybe not Robin Hood (those last two are rough), but I do think it would be cool if one of the Thematic miniseries won March Madness. PKD came so close last year.

2024-03-18 16:13:38 +0000 UTCThe original Star Trek commentaries are some of my favorites with the Ben bits and Griffins intro to the franchise. Definitely TNG!
Anthony Oleszkiewicz
2024-03-18 16:13:08 +0000 UTCIf only you would do the STNG episode where they do Robin Hood. :)

2024-03-18 16:11:09 +0000 UTCIf Robin Hood wins I hope they don't entirely jettison the warp core on the TNG films, I just want to hear them talk about that hot fox.

Despairing Radical
2024-03-18 16:05:26 +0000 UTCI would be excited about both of these. It’s a really tough choice. But I think Robin Hood is the more fun miniseries.
