MARCH MADNESS 2023 - Day 28
Added 2023-03-28 16:00:06 +0000 UTCY’all are hungry for some Dick - Elmore Leonard loses to the Sci-Fi master.
Up today - violent people wearing masks!
It’s MORTAL KOMBAT vs. SCREAM.
With MORTAL KOMBAT, we’d cover 3 films:
- Mortal Kombat (1995)
- Mortal Kombat: Annihilation (1997)
- Mortal Kombat (2021)
With SCREAM, we’d cover the 6 franchise installments:
- Scream (1996)
- Scream 2 (1997)
- Scream 3 (2000)
- Scream 4 (2011)
- Scream (2022)
- Scream VI (2023)
Do we want to give Ben and David a video game series? Or do we want to give Griffin the chance to see all the Scream movies for the first time?

2023-03-29 15:01:44 +0000 UTCDavid's Scream 3 take is wrong but I'm very interested to hear it and be persuaded by it. Have to give him credit for helping nudge my rating of Matrix Revolutions up ever so slightly after 15+ years of hating it.

Tyler Duggan
2023-03-29 01:09:10 +0000 UTCI feel like while Griffin having not seen the films didn't work as well for Star Trek, when it comes to Scream I think it would only enhance the experience overall.

2023-03-28 23:01:03 +0000 UTCScream is a mediocre horror franchise at best but it will lose to Oceans if it makes to the finals. Don’t worry everyone we’re safe.

Chuck Nipper
2023-03-28 21:23:51 +0000 UTCYes! And I'm excited for Griff's Ghostfaces Guesses based on his knowledge of trends in film and culture... I'm sure we'll end up with some great ideas for Ghostfaces from all three.

Rad Rodge
2023-03-28 20:16:35 +0000 UTCThis last point is actually really compelling to me now that I’m thinking about, I’m not changing my vote to Scream but I’m making more peace with the idea of it winning haha

2023-03-28 19:55:33 +0000 UTCSix Scream movies is like three too many. 🤣. We gotta bring Ghostface down...
Kevin Sprague
2023-03-28 19:54:41 +0000 UTCI would honestly consider voting MK if it was just the first two, that third one really just left a sour taste in my mouth.
Sam Greer
2023-03-28 19:51:49 +0000 UTCAbsolutely this, especially with David’s appreciation of them. I’m a hardcore fan of both game series, and RE just has so much more to chew on. (And most of the movies are actually fun to watch)
Sam Greer
2023-03-28 19:49:07 +0000 UTCEvery Scream movie is an absolute blast, let’s take it all the way
Zachary Bach
2023-03-28 19:09:37 +0000 UTCI really just think commentary on Mortal Kombat would be so much more fun. And funnier. And more interesting. Surely enough has been said about Scream by now?
Janine Liberty
2023-03-28 19:07:40 +0000 UTCLooking like a Scream / Ocean’s final
PoorFrisco
2023-03-28 18:50:21 +0000 UTCWho doesn't wanna hear them talk about people talking about movies, come onnnn. Every "no sequel is better than the original!" conversation in the movies will lead to great tangents.
Evelyn Chavanne
2023-03-28 18:04:56 +0000 UTCDon't let these people shame you, Scream gang. It's the superior choice. Movies about movies that open up plenty of choice topics. Genres rarely covered on the pod. The whodunnit aspect will make the commentary part of it fun. Also, David is correct in his Scream 3 take and I am so excited to hear him talk about it. Meanwhile, MK is fun 90s shit it'd be fun to hear Ben and Griff get excited over for one movie.

2023-03-28 17:56:00 +0000 UTCI know. Doesn't mean they can't do it. They've been taking about RE since the beginning of the Patreon. They gotta cash that check... babyyyyy
George Dunne
2023-03-28 17:51:02 +0000 UTCI'm not sure the commentaries for bad movies are always successful. But Monkeybone is an all-timer.
Uhhh...Greg
2023-03-28 17:50:16 +0000 UTCI believe there is a myth in the blankosphere that bad movies will make for fun discussion and I don’t think this is a hard and fast rule. As someone who genuinely loves the first mortal kombat movies, number 2 is a genuine slog. Scream all the way, even the worst of the series still is interesting
JB
2023-03-28 17:46:24 +0000 UTCThat's because G&R isn't nearly as good as BC
Rory Dunn
2023-03-28 17:37:29 +0000 UTCIt’s a solid reason! Scream 3 will be super fun for them
Chris Lynch
2023-03-28 17:09:31 +0000 UTCCan't believe we lost the Turtles to boring old oceans, and now MK to Scream. I like Scream, but come on! I don't want to live in a world where we don't have Ben and Griff Mortal Kombat Annihilation.

2023-03-28 16:52:26 +0000 UTCYou guys are going to regret this when it's 2030 and we're on Scream 12. The highlight of G&R covering the Scream series was the episode on Scary Movie, which isn't even included here!

2023-03-28 16:50:17 +0000 UTCI’d be down if it was a short curated list.

James Smith
2023-03-28 16:26:24 +0000 UTCThis is a tough one!!! But I had to go with Scream because I want Griff to experience them all. 👍
Giggleloop
2023-03-28 16:24:58 +0000 UTCMK is a better series to hear about because the first is weirdly good, the second is really bad, and third is unsurprisingly vapid.
Bill
2023-03-28 16:23:36 +0000 UTCSince it looks like Scream's gonna win (and rightfully so, they're fun movies), I just wanna say that the Mortal Kombat movies would lead to such a fun discussion and they should just do them at some point. 90s video games, the censorship conversations, the peak of advertising violent characters to children, and the stupidity of the Nether Realm.
Christopher Roundhill
2023-03-28 16:22:37 +0000 UTCI think Mortal Kombat is about to its spine ripped out
ian
2023-03-28 16:22:16 +0000 UTCYes that's why we're voting for it.
Nicholas McGettrick
2023-03-28 16:20:10 +0000 UTCDo yourself a favor and watch the OG MK. Definitely worth it.
Josh Harvey
2023-03-28 16:18:44 +0000 UTCScream will win but MK should happen at some point, only 3 movies (could just do the first 2 even) but lots of fun stuff to discuss

Donald W Pratt
2023-03-28 16:12:01 +0000 UTCGourley and Rust just did Scream. With that being the only other franchise-based podcast worth a shit, it's a little deflating when they cover the same stuff. Nobody else on the internet would do the Jelly trilogy or the SNL films or stuff like that. As has been said, Scream is so popular (and has been for 25 years or whatever) that everyone is already talking about it.

2023-03-28 16:11:38 +0000 UTCMK would be better but it's not going to beat that Scream VI bump

Joel DeJong
2023-03-28 16:09:18 +0000 UTCThis is a really tough choice. MK is better fodder for silly discussions, and while I love Scream as a franchise, it might be tiresome across six commentaries without guests to join the discussion.
