BC March Madness 2025 - Day 13
🕑 Added 2025-03-13 18:00:09 +0000 UTCOoooh boy, another close one! Norman Bates knocks out Rocky Balboa to move on to the next round.
Up today - two brand new series entering the tournament this year! It's Morbin' time....
It's Sony's Spider-Man Universe vs. Sony's Hot Monsters Who Fuck.
With Sony Spider-Man Universe, we'd cover the six films Sony made after signing away the Spider-Man rights to Marvel/Disney:
Venom
Venom: Let There Be Carnage
Morbius
Madame Web
Venom: The Last Dance
Kraven the Hunter
With Sony's Hot Monsters Who Fuck, we'd cover the three films released by Sony/Columbia in the early 90s that were very Serious adaptations of classic monsters. And they're sexy (??):
Bram Stoker's Dracula
Mary Shelley's Frankenstein
Wolf
Does Amy Pascal's web connect us all? Who can say!!

#TeamSony
David McCallum
Sony Spider-Man is interesting but monsters would make for better discussion
Roslyn
Few monsters that'll really fuck but it's not enough
Rich
What are they going to say? "Wow this sucks! Yep. We'll talk about it. Hand me my bagel twist."?
Grant Brunner
Let the monsters do it.
Kenneth Chambers
Sony spider man is my vote to win the whole thing! The Venom movies alone would be a good franchise for the watch along format. Add to that the camp of Madame Web and Russel Crowe and ATJ serving hunt? It would be a blast
Fred
Monsters!!!!!
Jason Duval
Sony Spider-Man sounds like such a nightmare
justn
FIRST!
Kayla Pate
Guys we NEED the monsters, please!
Zexyshamen
As Leo Carpazzi would say its a Monster Fuck
Haze
Pretty hot take. Kraven is good and Aaron Taylor Johnson should be Bond.
Liam Penton
MCU was their best commentary series. SPUMC all the way
Lena Delaney
Add Mary Reilly!!
Roslyn
Hold the line fuck monsters!
Liam Palmer
I’d like to see Weir and/or Coppola on main feed, but I’m voting fuck-monsters anyway because I’m not slogging through those Venom movies
Liam Palmer
Could not have said it better
Caleab Wyant
Need those monsters
Morgan Marshall
Rewatched it recently, somehow I had forgotten about Glenn Close being beheaded. What a wild movie.
Daniel Stonebraker
Same!!!
John W
I just think the monsters are going to be way more fun to discuss. Go monsters!
Zwoozy
Hard agree
Zwoozy
This is a VERY good suggestion
Good
Those movies are so bad omg
Good
The Sony SUPERHERO movies are painfully slow boring and not worth a few months of this pod. The only reason l didn’t walk out of the venoms movies because my little siblings love it.
Susan Hoffa
If those spidey less movies win I will get a couple of months of my life back not listening.
sheabobay
COMBINE THEM, THEY ALL MONSTERS WHO FUCK TBH
sheabobay
Nails = BITTEN
Zack McGhee
+1 for Mary Reilly in Sony Monsters
maplejuris
This is a phenomenal pairing
maplejuris
*whispers* Mary Reilly
Div Whateley
This is the hardest decision yet.
Chloe Jade Skye
Pleeeeease I must listen to commentaries of the Sony Spiderman clusterf*ck pleeeeeeease!!!
Davis Telleen
We gotta get Morb, Madame, and most importantly Dan on the commentary feed. Vote Sony Spideyless-verse
Oliver Scott
I don’t understand why Mary Reilly is not included in Sony Monsters when it is clearly part of the series
Jamie
I encourage everyone to google what Gary Oldman looks like in Dracula and then ask yourself, how can I vote against this campy fuckable masterpiece
Will McLaren
The venom movies tho? Middling efforts need to be investigated thouroughly. Like an Eddie Brock report.
Will McLaren
HDTGM don’t get into the industry machinations like the two friends do. Also the venom movies aren’t even bad enough for them to cover. They are the perfect level of movies that did well but kinda don’t exist. Those are fun to discuss.
Will McLaren
Disagree. There is so much weirdness there to talk about. So many big name actors in a fumbled attempt at a cinematic universe. Jelly this is not.
Will McLaren
Bruh, Sony spider-man would be so good. Modern blockbusters that are weird/don’t exist make for great convos
Chris Bench
I feel like lots of you are missing the fact that these monsters are not only hot, but also they fuck.
James manning
Agree about the No Spidey movies and that’s why they will be wonderful watchalongs!
Devin
Me too. I think I've maybe picked one winner in this entire first round so far.
itsyourcousinstjean
They should just do Interview with the Vampire if hot monsters win. The hottest of monsters.
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
HMWF seems a little thin, opting for Morbin time
Winson Paine
The first Venom is almost aggressively fine and carried by Hardy. Otherwise you are pretty much on the money
Brennan Loptien
This is the first showdown where I actually hope both options lose.
Zak Goldberger
They have guests on commentaries once in a blue moon, I would vote making the assumption there will be no guests because that is almost always the case
Anthony Regina
The *best* Dracula
Anthony Regina
This is perfectly said. The Connoisseurs of Context are much better suited at talking about this weird moment in monster movies.
TimeGentleman
This was close for me, but went with SPSPUM as it's more content and the movies are hilariously awful, as opposed to just three good-to-mediocre movies.
Anthony Regina
Hmm two good monster movies vs. six bad Spider-Man-less Spider-Man movies that, contrary to what people will tell you, aren’t even good-bad to watch. The only reason this is 50/50 is because people are mistaken about how lousy those No Spidey movies are. These aren’t The Room or Neil Breen. They’re contractually obligated corporate slop.
Dylan Murray
This has been the MM that shows how disjointed my tastes are with the rest of the Blankies. Smexy Monsters ftw
Rob Bliss
It was a graveyard fuck. Those Monsters sucked and then fucked.
Kyle Milner
Feels like Van Helsing should also be included in the hot monsters? I know it’s not Sony bur come on!
Daniel Citron
I want them to be locked in. It’s always kinda a bummer when it’s a slog.
Big Guy
Wow, how is this even close? Monsters need to fuck, don’t deprive us of this. That’s a rough two months of non-Spidey
Jeff Burnett
Blankies, a Sony Spider-Man series will sputter out like Jelly did! It won't be as fun as you think!!
Spencer Asmann
ITS MORBIN TIME
Anthony D’Elia
Sony Shitterverse for the win, the ADR jokes in Morbius and Madame Web alone will be worth it.
Joseph
Should "Mary Reilly" also be included in Sony hot monsters who fuck since it's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde?
Aidan
these people dont want to see frankenstein's hog, fake fans
heather
Love Dracula production design, loathe "so bad it's good" jokes, vote books.
Rad Rodge
[This Had Oscar Buzz patented whisper] mary reilly…
Rad Rodge
Gimme an H gimme an M gimme a W gimme an F
Dave Beaucar
This one’s gonna be a squeaker!
Rad Rodge
And truly one of the wildest, most forgotten incidences of Kenny B in cinema
Erin
What is this, a crossover episode?!?!?
Thomas Cromwell
An excruciating choice between excellent options
Rad Rodge
Yeah truly, I think she maybe has to be there, especially given the limited Julia Roberts discussion on the program up to this point
Stephanie Lambrenos
I don’t know what to do here, but I see a potential opportunity to crossover with Screen Drafts’ “Kravin’ Kraven” content and that is a pleasing thought.
Turner Miller
Seeing them lined up like that, I’m realizing I’ve only seen the first and last, Venom and Kraven, and this would give me a reason to watch the shit in between
Hannah K. Garden
Let’s go hot monsters!!
Jaffer Batica
Add Mary Reilly!
lil rob
There was splooge like mad
Nick Domino
I'm with you there. I can't bear the thought of watching the Venom movies
Njord
Mary Reilly HAS to be included in the Hot Monsters roster.
Bairbre
(He did the fuck) He did the monster fuck (The monster fuck) It was a graveyard fuck (He did the fuck) That monster sucked and fucked (He did the fuck) He did the monster fuck! Ah ooooh
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE
Tess Cat
The venom movies are cool but I can’t listen to any more superhero movies I’m so sorry
jack read
if they want to find guests for all of these movies who won't turn them into episodes of How Did This Get Made i'm all for it but sounds like a lot of effort (and part of the reason i love the commentaries is it's a great time to hang out just with the gang)
Tyler Wynkoop
Poor Mary Reilly didn’t get invited to the Hot Monster party
David McElroy
Whoever wins... we win.
Azar
someday it will be Morbin’ Time, but not today. I need those monsters to FUCK
Zack Kendall
The hardest choice yet, but a win either way
Sean Sakimae
...aside from a frustrated David Sims you mean? =) I think these will come down to the guests, because, yes, these movies are DOG. SHIT. Cash grabs for Sony that serve to keep the (live action) Spider-Man licensing in their woefully bumbling hands for as long as possible (or until they destroy the film reputation of the character...again.
Zak Goldberger
Listening to todays Doughboys episode with Paul Scheer and Jason Mantzoukas as the guests (who I love) and voting for this, and all I can think about it is how the Sony Spiderman villains option is the How Did This Get Made option on the bracket. I don’t begrudge that podcast or anyone who listens to it in anyway, but this is a different podcast and I think better for not making those kinds of choices. Hot Monsters, there’s a lot of interesting unique ground for the boys to cover. Please vote for hot monsters.
Daniel Citron
Robert DeNiro as Frankenstein: “Do not bring that fire near me!”
Darby Dixon III
taking a nice long sip of pepsi in the most chill and normal way while gazing softly at the updated results
jack read
i love you guys dearly but sony spider-man really does turn this into "actually yes just another bad movie podcast" for a bit. i don't know what we have to gain by doing Morbius and Madame Web right now when all the jokes have been beaten into the ground. give it more time. would love to be proven wrong but i'll vote against this one at every turn
Manish Agarwal
Vote 🗳️ Hot 🔥 Monsters 🧛🏽👹😈🐺
Bill Bruning
Weird moment in 90s Hollywood > superhero bullshit written to exercise a clause in an IP contract
Robert Carroll
HMWF FTW!!! In fact, if the Spiderverse knocks it out; I will urinate on Tom Hardy's shoes in a show of territorial domination! Also more amazing Keanu!
Maricela Gonzalez
Truly both though at the end of the day
Brian Schellenberg
Oh boy you hit the nail on the head
Conor Dabler
These would both be fun series to keep in the back pocket even if they don’t win
OG McDuck
Hot monsters who fuck? Will this include Ben's home movies? If so, I'm all in.
christopherdrew
Why would we put theses guys through the ordeal of watching/rewatching shit like Morbius or Madame Web? HMWF all the way.
OG McDuck
Go listen to Master Builder and then tell me that a bad movie can't make for a fantastic episode.
Cheyenne Valen
Category Fraud: Venom is a Monster Who Fucks
Kevin Gesme
Combo sexy monsters with GdT on the main feed so we can horned up on horror around Halloween
Curt Weiler
Eh, I think the OG Dungeons & Dragons movie is one of their funnier commentaries of all time. Some bad movies have made for great episodes.
Brian Redford
Don't vote for shit. Good movies with engaged hosts makes for best commentaries. Mari laughing at first Austin Powers. David excitement for London Opening ceremonies. Griff discovering First Contact. Ben seeing all the fits.
Michael Loiacono
look, I'm as amused as anybody by the though of experiencing the schadenfreude of exposing the boys to the SPUMC for six weeks, but I gotta take any excuse I can to get them talking about the best Dracula movie.
Gretchen Lindensmith
This one was difficult. Hot Monsters should INCLUDE Madam Web.
Tim Turner
it's morbin time
Will Redmond
SPUMC SPUMC SPUMC
Kevin Love Hewitt
voting against what I want because I don't want them to delay FFC any further
Tom
HMWF all night long
Jon Jarocki
Voting Hot Monsters, I don't think commentaries based on current memes really work out that well
Kate
Puritan cowards!! Give us HMWF!!!
Darby Dixon III
just gonna crack open a nice cold pepsi and check the results on the latest patreon event here
kennedy
Sorry, Vlad. There’s a new vampire in town and he’s living!!!
Harding Royster
The Sony Universe discussion isn't just good for the lulz - it's one of the most important cinematic events to ever happen. It's about history, people!
Ross Bratin
HMWF. No question
Begemott
Hey I never said the Hot Monster movies were GOOD, I just said they weren't boring :P
Rich
How is this even a debate? HMWF for the win!
radiomansays
I need everyone here to put aside the "haha madame web haha mobius" thoughts- tempting as they are- and really think about sitting through all that
Joshua Inman
People not voting for sexy monsters are wrong and bad.
Sauncho Smilax
I think their “studios making terrible decisions that get everyone fired” commentaries are some of their very best (see the Liebsman TMNT 1 with Griffy’s 40 minute preamble) so I need the Madame Web, Morbius, and Kraven ones in my life.
Conor Bresnan
They are gonna get sooo bored with those shitty Sony Marvel movies. Please God no.
Holden Martinson
Went with Hot Monsters. I like Venom, but I don't need the rest at all.
Andy C
Wow, surprisingly close! Y'all, Dogshit Spidey Spinoffs would make AMAZING commentary tracks
Amani M
Only one of the sony marvel movies is good and it’s Venom
mail daddy
SPUM!
sheabobay
ARE U SUGGESTING MORBIUS DOESNT FUCK??
Nick Benson
Don't worry theres some bad stuff in the hot monster category! But they are also interesting!
Matthew Farkas
Please can we have a Bram Stoker's Dracula episode. One of my favorite movies of all time. For its great film making and it's campiness
Devin
The worse the movie, the better the commentary is all I’ll say
Alex Perry
been begging for a SPUMC series
omar
let me watch bad movies
Begemott
Hot Monsters sounds way more fun, the non-spiderman movies are mostly just boring
Spencer Pommier
I don't give a f*** about Francis Ford Coppola because I haven't seen any of his movies that aren't Dracula but I really want them to cover Dracula cuz that movie rules.
Nick Benson
I can't believe this is exactly 50/50 right now!! Its gotta be monsters, yall.
Jake Furgason
It’s finally Morbin time.
The Great Kha
Hot monsters per favore
Hope
HOT MONSTERS 2025
Brian Case
Vote Monsters if for nor other reason than discussion of Jack Nicholson's performance in Wolf
Chris Christodoulou
Please act responsibly. Vote monsters.
Zwoozy
I'd rather hear about Very Specific Directors making Very Specific Decisions on da monsters, rather than more endless machinations of soulless studio drones.
Good
Venom is never going to win so just pick the 3 silly movies and let’s all move on.
Bern Roche Farrelly
Vote for good movies, vote Monsters!
Nicholas Kmet
I worked on Madame Web, I NEED to hear a commentary for it.
Rita Jefferson
Hot monsters people, do not make me watch morbius!!!!!
Good
So much dog shit omg 😂😂😂 lose lose situation but I’ll go with SONY HOT MONSTER WHO FUCK.
TheLibraryClark
Here's the thing, folks: these Sony movies are not good but also boring, while the Monster Fucker movies are actually quite good while also being bug-nut insane.
Katie Bjordahl
Need the monsters to win
Khar
I don’t think you guys would have fun with Spider-Man stuff lol
GrrNoise
Hard choice so I just voted for the movies I'd most want to watch
Owen Phillips
Come on hot monsters we NEEED Kenneth Branagh discussion
Eoghan Wilkie
