BC March Madness 2025 - Day 16
🕑 Added 2025-03-16 18:00:09 +0000 UTCAnother close one - Santa wins by a reindeer!
Up today in our final matchup of the first round, we've got Drafters vs. Violators.
It's Kevin Costner Sports Movies vs 90s Indie Comics.

I think this is the first time in human history that the above images were paired together.
With Costner Sports, we'd cover four movies that showcase our guy Kev in his element - being a hot jock:
Bull Durham
Field of Dreams
Tin Cup
Draft Day, starring Griffin Newman
(We would not cover For Love of the Game again because we don't have to)
With 90s Indie Comics, we'd cover six of the scumbummiest 90s movies featuring all of Ben's favorite weird guys:
The Mask
The Crow
Tank Girl
Judge Dredd
Spawn
Dredd (which came out in 2012 but David wants to cover it anyway)
So - who is the final contestant to move on to the Sweet Sixteen?

Knowing that Dredd 2012 will be included makes this a lock for my favorite to win the bracket.
Will Lipsenthal
Costner sports is a great category. Please bring it back
Anthony Regina
Seems like the bad movies are on the other side, imo
Corby Weyhmiller
Always will vote for more Benducer content! Give me a month of porch classics!
Ian Joshua Postman
Bye bye griff
Chloe Jade Skye
We know that’s why we want them
Snoogens
They should run it back on Griff’s turf
Ballytotalfit
Shocked Costner isn’t winning. The movies are definitely better. But I’m voting out of pure desire to hear Ben talk more about Violator
Sloane
Tin cup!!! David Simms+
Sloane
Kevin please come on you guys those are bad movies on the other side
Andrew Wyslotsky
Contender for my favorite Costner sports with Tin Cup
Andrew Wyslotsky
I have 0 doubt that Ben dresses as Violator for the Spawn ep if it wins.
Daniel Citron
Yeah this is a strange choice
Daniel Citron
It’s truly strange that they got Leguizamo to play the clown after Danny Devito passed
Kerry Benton
It kind of kills me, but I have to go with my heart, and my heart is with Tank Girl.
Alexander Staudinger
No 'McFarland, USA' on the Costner sports list? Shame shame
Kyle Martinak
I want to go with Costner Sports, because I want a full episode on Draft Day. And an excuse to watch Tin Cup again. But I think this vote was sealed with "scumbummiest."
Soup
this one was brutally hard but had to go kevin ... which surprises the comic nerd core in me. But i wanna hear the boys talk Bull Durham and tin cup!
Jordan Bushert
Sorry. But this one is pretty obvious...
Daniel Davis
Also not an independent comic. It was a newspaper strip
Scott Gerrard
Works better with the 90's Pulp Superhero movies with Dick Tracey, The Shadow etc
Will McLaren
In case of emergency: Flagrant Ones did a whole ep on Draft Day with Griffin as a guest.
Will McLaren
For those who want to hear Griffin tell lots of Draft Day stories, check out the ep he did on The Flagrant Ones, they did a whole episode dedicated to the movie.
Brandon Rust
No The Phantom?!
Jack R
Costner’d out, thanks
costcohotdog
No The Art of Racing in the Rain for Costner?
IMDB
How the heck is Costner sports not dominating?! Draft Day, baybeeeee
JC9000
oh god I hope 90s comics goes all the way
Josh Harvey
90’s forever
Chloe Jade Skye
And it would be TWO months!!
Donald W Pratt
Come on guys, Tin Cup!
Liam
90s comics is my juggernaut this year. i can’t see any of them beating it for me.
Good
If that was on the list, I would’ve chose comic book movies.
Good
TRUE 🤣 but we need more.
Fresh Dill
Draft day=honorary indie comic
24HRVideo
Let Malebolgia reign
DannyDelBoy
MCFARLAND, USA is such an interesting Cosner sports movie!!!
Nate
lol poor Griffin
Danny
Please add McFarland USA to the Costner lineup!!!
Nicholas Keith
Can we add Draft Day to 90’s Indies Comics?
Casey Callahan
I want both of these series.
Richard Barry
Does 90s indie comics mean we'd never get a THE CROW Patreon series? Because that series is worth covering.
Charlie Wetherington
Feels bad to vote against a Griff movie, but I simply can't take another full month of Costner.
Brian Redford
This 90s group is strong. Some really fun movies. A bad one with a hundred actor tangents. Comedy and action. Ben choices and a requested addition from David.
Graeme Campbell
Tragically it appears nerds rule, jocks drool
Rad Rodge
I would really love a Bull Durham episode one day, that’s ideal for the show as I’m sure the fellas are well aware. I like to think that Costner Sports might have done a little better against a less straight-down-the-middle-for-Blankies opponent, if anything this is a better performance than I thought was possible against 90s indie comics
Paul Sabourin
Son, I am disappoint. ("Son" = "Blankies")
Joel Gross
This was a tough one.
Trevor Mason
Come on, Draft Day is on the board
Betty Vaughan Granberg
This is criminal
Chad Hemphill
As much as I want them to cover draft day… the 90’s comics is such a good list
Charles
Come on people, James Earl Jones monologuing about baseball!
mikey GOLDSMITH
I’m voting for 90s comics, but I do want a draft day commentary one day
Harry Blackwood
Tank Girl just for the soundtrack
Adam Foote
As much as I'd love to make Griffin cover himself, Spawn rules
KevynOnVideo
Seconded!
Hannah K. Garden
Cannot believe my love of Griffin Newman is such that I just voted for not only Kevin Costner but sports. Woof. On the main though it’s looking good for DEAD ALIVE 😃😃😃the greatest
mobius
Tank girl fucks
Andrew
Petition to add Mystery Men to the 90s comics series.
Matt Miller
guys, gals, and non binary pals how are we passing over listening to them cover a movie Griffen is in?
Brendan Radigan
THE COFFEE WAS DROPPED... But Dredd is where my heart lies
Njord
Field of Dreams is great, but so much so that I feel it’s more main feed than commentary material.
Beardmask
90s Comics is pure, uncut Benergy. I'm in.
Adam Grzegorczyk
Not enough to sit through Costner baseball & golf movie commentaries
J Em
As much as I want a Draft Day ep the other sports movies don't do much for me. A Tank Girl ep on the other hand...
d p fenn
but tin cup is better than i expected even though it’s about golf?
Bonesaw Greene
Victims aren’t we all?
Josh
They should just do a one-off Draft Day commentary honestly, because I do not care about costner or baseball
Rob Dennis
Sports is not going to make up its deficit, but it’s definitely the one on the bracket I’m most excited by
Carolyn
❤️ 90s indie comic movies 🥵. I would love to see this group go all the way! 🤞
Susan Hill
Do people really not want to watch along with griffin watching draft day? Wtf are we doing here people?
DJV
Surely—surely!—there’s been enough Costner talk already.
Sean C.
This is by far the toughest decision this whole month for me.
Pat Johnson
At first it felt like a tough call, but I'm holding out hope for Ron Shelton and Phil Alden Robinson to have their own miniseries. White Pods Can't Cast and The Sum of All Podcasts
Michael Birdsall
This might be the category I follow all the way. 90s indie comics must be the victor
Chauncey Telese
No mystery men?
Literaltruth
I want them to cover Draft Day sometime, but not enough to have to lose the Patreon feed to a series of crappy American sports movies. It's not worth it
HappyCroc
I just need to share that I rejoined the patreon exclusively in order to vote for Lemmon and Matthau and I am now a grumpy old man.
Jake Vogt
I just want to make sure everyone knows that coffee spill didn’t make the final cut
Stuart Roth
Dredd 2012 is a perfect movie would love to hear you cover it
Michael Curley
Bull Durham and Field of Dreams are incredible. Tim Cup is very fun. I haven’t seen Draft Day, but dissecting a big Griffin film would be super interesting. Indie Comics is long and wacky, varying degrees of quality. I say Costner!
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
What about Draft Day 2 where they reveal what happened to the carpet after all the coffee that got spilled
Chris
Do you guys not want them to cover Draft Day? I don’t understand
Elizabeth Edwards
yeeeeeeeaaaaaaaah Dredd (2012) bonus ep
Anthony Regina
Voting for Tank Girl. And because I don’t know or care about Costner or sports.
Jeremiah Drueke
If you want to piss my wife off, just say “Spawn.” We lived in NYC when that came out and it was the first time we spent over $10 per ticket to see a movie. That movie was the worst piece of shit we’d wasted our very little money on.
Zachary Marriott
Great point
Zak Goldberger
Voting indie comics, love the line up but you guys gotta have Mystery Men on there
John Halski
90s indie comics would be a fun exercise that centers on a theme I’d love to hear dissected more—“can Hollywood capture the peculiar zeitgeist of indie comics through the studio system” I’m less intrigued by the common theme of—“can a monotone and stone faced actor convincingly portray more than two or three emotions?”
Jon Ryves
I would like to do the Costner sports movies at some stage, good Sepinwall-adjacent series and the opportunity to cover a Griff movie appearance But that indie comics list looks VERY strong, especially with 2012 Dredd there. Might have a shot of going all the way, like board games last year?
Haley
release the coffee spill cut
John O'Neill
Voting for Jock Kostner because I have to be true to myself, but I hope the scum bums win
Roslyn
I'd say they trend more dork than scumbag
Zach
I need the draft day commentary
Dan Fiorentine
Insane that Costner isn’t winning in a landslide!!
May
I might have went with The Coz until you described the other one as “Scumbummiest”. Let’s get scummy, baby!!!
FatDogDad
If they had left in the coffee spill, I’m Costner all day. But they didn’t. What a waste.
Brit Mullen
SCUM! BUM! SCUM! BUM!
big red robot
Team weird guys plus tank girl. Jersey pride!
Good
You know what I’m going Costner! Let’s give super hero talk a break.
Lena Delaney
How do you not include Mystery Men?!
Anthony Pierre Coco
Costner sports gets my vote because David sounded so excited over 90s comics in the last MM update ep that it feels inevitable anyway
Snoogens
But what if it’s Draft Day with Carl and The Boys?
Anthony Oleszkiewicz
Bulk Durham for David, Draft Day for Griffin, and Field of Dreams to get Ben crying about something sappy. This would be a great addition to our decade of dreams
sheabobay
GIMME DAT SCUM
Jon Arnold
Oh, now this is a tough choice. The Costner films are all classics and the Leo pointing at the screen moment of Draft Day would be incredible. But… the Mask???? Sssssmokin and Ben in the same episode???
Mr Sir
Like I'm voting for anything except Spawn
Meghan
We owe this to Ben
Alexis Boursier (Bore-See-A)
Every week a Sophie’s Choice!
daddyov2
DO IT FOR DIRTBIKE BENNY
By Tove!
Hell yeah. Tank girl!
