Aside from the tank at the very beginning, which is sort of encoded in my mind as a good example of really following through on the options that become available in a modern Shakespeare setting hahah

Rad Rodge

I really do gotta watch that McKellen Richard III again, I have very positive but vague memories of it

Blank Check with Griffin & David

UGHHH looks like the poll was set to end at 1:59 AM instead of 1:59 PM. Although looking at Dick's lead, I'm not sure Wick would be able to overtake him.

Devin DiMattia

I was unable to vote but would have voted for Wick, so I guess we can take solace in the fact that we would've cancelled each other out.

eric english

Yes it seems it ended early for some reason. I was not able to vote (but would have voted for Dick).

Lauren Damon

Way too much John Wick slander in these comments

TimeGentleman

Recording it today, according to their Blue Sky!

Zachary Adams

Did the poll end early? Just tried to vote after the poll was up for 12 hrs and it's not letting me.

Jason Feffer

So are we ever going to get a check in episode? I feel they usually do by the end of the first round at the absolute latest…

Will McLaren

I have it on good authority that Wick voters are actually cool, funny, smart and nice.

Sam A. Sipe

when we getting a bonus update episode?

Evan J Loewe

Up w/ Dick, down w/ Wick

jo wa

All of you who voted for John wick just get rhe fuck out of here right now please, you obviously hate movies.

John Dog

Wick is one long movie that doesn't get better as it goes. Dick FTW

Laura Horstmann

lol time for a Larry Charles mini series on main feed

Sean Sakimae

I love my birthday buddy, but the "Dick" series will be far more interesting. (especially with two pretty big stinkers--sorry David.)

Elizabeth Edwards

Killed me to vote against Wick, but the Dick lineup is *killer*

Adam Grzegorczyk

John Wick is too visual for a commentary episode, Philip K Dick is too dense.

Michael Loiacono

Tough call. On one hand, lots of variety spread out across different eras of Hollywood filmmaking. On the other hand, John Wick.

Christopher Willett

I think listening to them watch John Wick would be boring since it's just fighting.

Bradley Churton

It true your honour, he has no Wick

John

Damn shame we’re Wickless

Kawaiidebu

Ok I talked myself into Wick…

Kawaiidebu

I voted Dick but actually Wick kind of puts me in mind of the glory days of Mission Impossible, plus maybe they can get the Tick-Tock man on…

michael

You should do total recall too.

Grumpy Rootbeer

Voting PKD to give myself an excuse to rewatch Paycheck and see if my extremely hazy memory of it being perfectly serviceable holds up.

Anthony Strand

Pretty wild that every single match up in the first three quadrants went to the higher seed, and then all four in the 4th quadrant went to the lower seed.

Del Lorenson

Decade of (do robots)Dream(of electric sheep?)

Cynthia

my guesses were all wrong in the last quadrant of the bracket but still pulling for a psycho/muppets final!

Corey DeMarco

My man, I saw your icon for your profile and laughed so hard I spit iced tea all over my fucking keyboard.

Masturov Desguys

Really hope Dick doesn’t run the table. I’d rather hear these discussions in context of a career. As a miniseries, not excited.

Rad Rodge

Well, to quote Lt. Cmdr. Ron Hunter in Crimson Tide, I cannot concur

dorium

would rather have Wick. most of these other ones will get discussed one day. The Wick series most likely never will.

Rad Rodge

We gotta up the pressure for a Beatty miniseries, I support this

Chris Hayes

Dicks: The Musical

JTA

Submission for next year? DICKS. Dick Dick Tracy Nixon Richard III

Christina Lohr

You get Keanu talk either way, you can’t lose!

Manish Agarwal

As much as I love the latter, it’s no surprise to see 🍆 beating 🕯️

Tom

Ridley vs PTA was a brutal vote to pick. But Ridley Scott needs to get on the main feed already

Tom

P.D.K for cinema

Adam Bucher

Easy layup for PKD! You get: One of Scott’s best, one of Linklater’s best, AND one of Villeneuve’s best. It’s a fun-sized assortment of legends!

Brendan Crowley

**podcast voice**

Jonathan Stankiewicz

John Wick for life

Les Chappell

Indie Comics is this year’s Tabletop Games. Juggernaut.

heather

Minority Report live watch, go on...

Ginger’s Boyfriend Matt

I don’t think Ridley or Dennis is taking the main feed this year so I went with Dick for variety

Max Hardenbrook

This is tough. I went with John wick just because I feel like there's no other way those movies get discussed on the pod and I think they could be good episodes. But ultimately there's no wrong choice here

youngthugisthegreatestlivingrapper

Whoever wins, I lose

Josh B

Disappointed they’re not doing *every* dick but it’ll still be so entertaining

Miles Lemaire

PKD or GTFO

Blake Hanrath

Just remember Alex Jones is in Scanner Darkly. A vote for Dick is a vote for a Jones jumpscare.

Anthony Oleszkiewicz

I hate these adaptation categories. The recent Andrew Lloyd Webber series recently really reaffirmed my belief that the boys get kind of bored talking about how to adapt a certain kind of material. Other than Cats, they spend a lot of time unfocused, uninterested, and dispassionate about the movies they're covering. The main thrust of the pod, namely following an arc, is taken away. I'd much rather have a more conventional franchise or one united by a career.

overthebw

Voted for the one with 4 potential mainfeed double dips. I guess they're saving Screamers as a separate franchise.

Susannah B.

I just think these guys would have a ton of fun with Wickyboy

Javier Alcácer

wicked dick...so many puns. I'm going with Horselover Fat.

Matthew Farkas

Both Total Recalls should be added to Dick. I know they covered the OG on the main feed. But watching both in a series would be fun.

Wyatt Gray

Also I'd like to call my shot right now. I think it's going to come down to Muppet vs. 90's Indie Comics in the final round.

sheabobay

Keanuuuu

Wyatt Gray

I love Wick, but I think I'm voting Dick this time.

Begemott

Fat, Horselover

Terry Ballard

"He's not the bit, he's the one you send to kill the bit"

Matthew Farkas

Let's give Wick the Dick

Andrew Wyslotsky

Because those hats are so cool!

Good

Happy Madison and Final Destination!!! We need some light hearted fun and to revisit the late 90s and 2000s movies.

Jordan Coleman

Love those wick movies but I think Dick would just make for better lore talk.

Peter M

People keep asking me if androids dream of electric sheep, and I haven’t really had time to think about it, but yeah — I’m thinking they do.

Njord

LIGHT THE WICK

Jake Nolan

Dick gives us a really fun and eclectic mix, and an opportunity to talk about a plethora of good directors that haven’t been covered. GIVE ME DICK

Amani M

Sadly the only Dick i have seen is Paycheck so yeah, this would be a good reminder to watch Scanner Darkly (which is like always free on Youtube).

Rita Jefferson

Why are you people trying to make me watch The Adjustment Bureau again.

Luke Crawford

Bracket was all chalk until the final region, then we all lost our minds

Carolyn

Dick!

Sam Schrader

Mostly voting against A Scanner Darkly. I don’t need Alex Jones making an appearance in my leisure time.

Nick N

Phillip K! So much good Ben content in there. As much as I love John Wick, it feels like commentaries will just end up retreading a lot of them same stuff over and over
