MARCH MADNESS 2023 - Day 21
Added 2023-03-21 16:02:06 +0000 UTCWOW - THE BIG GUY DID IT. HE REALLY DID IT. JELLY FOREVER!!!! HE BEAT THE CENOBITES BY 31 VOTES!! DAS NOT FUCKED UP!
Up today - William “Bill” S. Preston Esq and “Ted” Theodore Logan take on Max Cherry, Jackie Brown, and Jennifer Lopez.
It’s BILL & TED vs. ELMORE LEONARD ADAPTATIONS.
With BILL & TED, we’d cover 3 films:
- Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure (1989)
- Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey (1991)
- Bill & Ted Face The Music (2020)
For LEONARD, we’d cover his 4 famous 90s crime movies (yeah, we know “Be Cool” is from the 2000s, but it’s a direct sequel):
- Get Shorty (1995)
- Jackie Brown (1997)
- Out of Sight (1998)
- Be Cool (2005)
We will not be covering any of his myriad other adaptations…Leonard Westerns could be their own genre.
So, who takes this round?
Comments
I hope everyone is ready for the Elmore Leonard vs Jelly championship.

2023-03-22 02:42:35 +0000 UTCB&T only gets better as it goes along! They go to HELL in part 2! They have doofy teen daughters in part 3! You actually think Be Cool is more fun than that??

2023-03-22 00:16:15 +0000 UTCLove the first B&T, do not want to watch the others again. Go Lenny!
Evelyn Chavanne
2023-03-22 00:06:51 +0000 UTCI'm voting for Bill and Ted but I have to imagine a Tarantino series will happen some day.
Graham
2023-03-21 23:58:15 +0000 UTCIt's been a rough MM for me too, but I'm in step with this one. I like when Patreon can be an excuse for discussing loosely connected things that aren't really a franchise. (Still mad about yesterday though)
Adam Grzegorczyk
2023-03-21 21:42:37 +0000 UTCFinding out I'm really not on the same page with my fellow checkmates.
Brandon Boring
2023-03-21 21:32:54 +0000 UTCIt pains me to see that they won’t be discussing the Bill and Ted’s. Yet.
Chad Hemphill
2023-03-21 21:11:37 +0000 UTCNeither is Be Cool, but they're doing that.
Philip M Bernstein
2023-03-21 19:57:12 +0000 UTCI'm ice cold, this will be 5 losses in a row, was hoping fellow Butterball heads and I could overcome the Jelly but I understand.

2023-03-21 19:33:27 +0000 UTCSince soderberg is never gonna be covered until like 2080 this and the oceans are the only reasonable way to do it.

Beatrix Lidl
2023-03-21 18:44:34 +0000 UTCThe last 24 hours made me realize how much Jelly is my personal cause this MM
Kevan Patrick
2023-03-21 18:40:06 +0000 UTCBecause it's not from the 90's?
Chris Dobson
2023-03-21 18:29:04 +0000 UTCYou gotta cash in on the big bounce, baby!
Jack o Diamonds
2023-03-21 18:26:51 +0000 UTCWhy isn’t 2004’s The Big Bounce included with Elmore Leonard?? It’s not good but it’s a direct Leonard adaptation from the same time period.
James Manning
2023-03-21 18:21:29 +0000 UTCI know we all want a Jackie Brown episode, but Jackie has big main feed energy. Not like this. Not like this.
HappyCroc
2023-03-21 18:17:09 +0000 UTCThat would be most excellent. Alex Winter also seems like a really interesting guy who would be a good tangent.
HappyCroc
2023-03-21 18:11:53 +0000 UTCToo bad you didn’t include any of the Leonard Westerns like HOMBRE, the two 3:10 TO YUMAs, or THE TALL T. In fact, there’s a scene in GET SHORTY that’s stolen from JOE KIDD.
Dean Eaton
2023-03-21 18:10:00 +0000 UTCTired: voting Leonard because 3 of the movies are great Wired: voting Leonard to give yourself a reason to finally watch Be Cool
Philip M Bernstein
2023-03-21 18:06:42 +0000 UTCLeonard’s work is just downright better. I love Bill and Ted and their Excellent Adventure is so fun but I’m not crazy about Bogus Journey or Face the Music and the fact that you’d get out of sight, Jackie brown, and get shorty from the Leonard series makes it my winner. If you haven’t seen Out of Sight please do yourself a favor and check it out.
Will Rahlmann
2023-03-21 18:03:46 +0000 UTCToughest match yet for me.
Foggo Ravencha
2023-03-21 18:00:01 +0000 UTCNot the result split I was expecting before voting… I want to hear the boys talk casting with Face The Music, or evaluate Carlin’s career as an actor…

Matt Reifschneider
2023-03-21 17:07:54 +0000 UTCYou monsters. You really wanna watch Jackie Brown as a COMMENTARY? Meanwhile Bull and Ted was MADE to be commentary fodder. So fun.
Ariel Jacobson
2023-03-21 17:07:19 +0000 UTCI have to just try to be at peace and look forward to a couple months' break from commentaries when they do Jelly. We have to live in the world as it is
Rad Rodge
2023-03-21 17:03:15 +0000 UTCStop the steal! #justiceforbutterball
Miles Wisniewski
2023-03-21 17:02:04 +0000 UTCI'd be more interested in Bill & Ted if there was a bonus episode on Freaked
Jack Gregson
2023-03-21 17:01:55 +0000 UTCVIVE LA GELÉE
Tyler McClellan
2023-03-21 16:55:55 +0000 UTCI really want EL to take this thing.
Jeremiah Drueke
2023-03-21 16:49:44 +0000 UTCHrmmmm, usually I vote for whichever choice is The Jelly Trilogy, so this is a tough one (I voted Bill & Ted, would be happy with either)
Eric Nagurney
2023-03-21 16:48:51 +0000 UTCJelly is life
Sonny Riverside
2023-03-21 16:47:10 +0000 UTCJelly is not guaranteed a win (and I'm probably not voting for it in most match ups) but considering it beat Hellraiser, I think it could go the distance.
Shaq Attack
2023-03-21 16:40:49 +0000 UTCA vote for Bill and Ted is a vote for William Sadler’s absolutely brilliant Grim Reaper!
Christina Lohr
2023-03-21 16:39:45 +0000 UTCI love Bill and Ted, but I NEED Out of Sight
Gabriel Mathews
2023-03-21 16:37:18 +0000 UTCLooks like Jelly was more nefarious than any member of Pinhead's court
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
2023-03-21 16:34:41 +0000 UTCI want both of these series.
Casey Callahan
2023-03-21 16:33:48 +0000 UTCThe greatest carnal pleasure of all is thinking the Jelly trilogy is going to lose to Hellraiser until he pulls it off right at the end.
Matthew Farthing
2023-03-21 16:33:09 +0000 UTCI fucking love get shorty. Travolta, Lindo, Russo, Farina, HACKMAN, DeVITO!!! I live B&T just as much as the next guy but c’mon
Ztiwroh Yerffej
2023-03-21 16:32:37 +0000 UTCWow, thought these numbers would be closer! Voting against Keanu on John Wick week seems rude.
Leah McKibbin
2023-03-21 16:30:57 +0000 UTCLol I voted opposite all those guys, my apologies. I refer more to the feeling of the gelatinous foregone conclusion
Lauren Damon
2023-03-21 16:28:44 +0000 UTCCan we do bill and Ted + Jackie brown?
ryan mcgrath
2023-03-21 16:28:43 +0000 UTCIf not Beatles, I want Jelly to win it all because I’ve been won over by the bit
Charles
2023-03-21 16:28:35 +0000 UTCThis is the worst
Rad Rodge
2023-03-21 16:27:10 +0000 UTCAs a kid I watched Be Cool not even knowing it was a sequel and still had a blast. Half of the plot made no sense but Andre 3000 was in it so I had to keep watching.
Luna Linstrot
2023-03-21 16:24:57 +0000 UTCHey its been a bummer since superman, godzilla and Bruce Lee got axed. If ninja turtles are going this far, we deserve Jelly at this point.
Shaq Attack
2023-03-21 16:24:40 +0000 UTCJELLY HIVE JELLYS GOING ALL THE WAY BABY
AJ Martin
2023-03-21 16:22:15 +0000 UTCShould we really care anymore? Jelly will trump it all.
Mauricio Salas
2023-03-21 16:22:14 +0000 UTCA vote against Keanu is a vote for violence.
Chuck Nipper
2023-03-21 16:21:43 +0000 UTCBooooooooooo
Josh Harvey
2023-03-21 16:21:36 +0000 UTCI know Bill and Ted won't win but I gotta vote for my most excellent guys! I would love to hear the 2 Best Friends talk about the insanity that is Bill & Ted's BJ.

Donald W Pratt
2023-03-21 16:15:12 +0000 UTCJelly voters, you are the saboteurs of all that's good.
Regis L
2023-03-21 16:14:35 +0000 UTCI'm just here to celebrate the Jelly victory. Snatched from the jaws of defeat! Yes!!
Begemott
2023-03-21 16:13:30 +0000 UTCLooks like they won't cover Elmore Leonard's "MR. MAJESTYK", which is a totally fun 70s crime movie with Charles Bronson as the world's most dedicated melon farmer. Def recommended for you freaks out there.
alex d
2023-03-21 16:12:54 +0000 UTCI don't think this matters anymore. I think Jelly got the MM recap episode bump and will now be unstoppable.
Shaq Attack
2023-03-21 16:12:10 +0000 UTCI worked on Bill and Ted. I want to hear my fav. Podcast discuss!!
Tyler Hohmann
2023-03-21 16:11:28 +0000 UTCSometimes I wish this was a podcast where bits were allowed
Jake
2023-03-21 16:11:09 +0000 UTCIf Bill and Ted doesn't win this it will be most heinous. We need this. We neeeeed this.
Jordan Gibson
2023-03-21 16:11:05 +0000 UTCWhen you absolutely, positively got to podcast every motherfucker in the room, accept no substitutes.
Daniel A. Barron
2023-03-21 16:10:33 +0000 UTCGonna start rallying for Scream over the Beatles right now just so we can at least have ONE horror franchise make it out of the second round, you lunatics.

2023-03-21 16:09:33 +0000 UTCThis is all just a formality until the next Jelly vote
Will Redmond
2023-03-21 16:09:26 +0000 UTC69 Dudes! I want to save JB for an inevitable QT mini or bonus entry
Tom
2023-03-21 16:09:20 +0000 UTCAs much as I’d like to hear a discussion on Alex Winter’s career, I’m much more interested in exploring a shy Deniro role.

Jay Watson
2023-03-21 16:08:10 +0000 UTCI’m proud to be one of the votes that switched from Hellraiser to Jelly after listening to the Patreon episode yesterday. Glad he got through
