BC March Madness 2025 - Day 11
🕑 Added 2025-03-11 18:00:07 +0000 UTCLove actually IS all around, and Love Actually moves on to the next round!
Up today, we've got a Mr. Robert Cop going up against Sir Duncan MacLeod.
It's RoboCop vs. Highlander.

With RoboCop, we'd cover four films:
RoboCop
RoboCop 2
RoboCop 3
RoboCop (2014 remake)
With Highlander, we'd also cover four films (this time with more kilts):
Highlander
Highlander 2: The Quickening
Highlander 3
Highlander Endgame
Who wins - a Griffin fave or a Ben's choice?

Good
Same! It’s always the most lamest or already talked about franchise wins.
Good
This is so confusing. You would think everyone on here would be cool. Robocop is fun but been there done that.
Alison R.B.
Was there a glitch in the system on the main feed website because I completely missed the Peter Weir/Baz Luhrmann vote? I set a daily iPhone reminder this year to vote 🗳️ oh well 🤷🏼♀️ It does not matter I do not see Peter Weir surviving the next round #THETWOFRIENDS
Anthony Regina
As per my usual strategy, when I equally want either series I vote for the one I perceive is the underdog. Which is why I went Highlander.
ders
It’s not to late for everyone to change their votes to Highlander
Regis L
I'm starting to hate March Madness a little
Good
Another year of disappointing results
Gabriel Gauvin
I just want to hear Mantzoukas talk about the quickening
Gabriel Gauvin
The Griffel contingent working overtime on this one.
Bill O'Donnell
Agreed.
JC9000
what is this "main feed"?
Kawaiidebu
Really think Highlander may be more fun? Anyway the main feed March madness today really hurt because I’d love both of those series. But they’ll do Baz one day I know.
Div Whateley
I love Robocop so much more, but I really want to hear the gang’s take on the absolute clusterfuck that is Highlander canon.
Ian
Go Robo!
Rad Rodge
The thing is, I voted for Highlander but I also want for David my fellow For All Mankind enjoyer to share some Joel Kinnaman thoughts hahah, I dunno
Ken
Robo wants an oreo

C’mon. 1 good movie, 2 bad sequels and an empty remake. What’s to talk about? These Highlander films are fucking bananas! Sean Connery is playing a Scottish Spaniard is part 2! I mean, all of these sequels are BAD, too, but they’re at least interesting.
Good
Highlander! We’ve all seen Robocop. But Highlander deserves some love
Sam A. Sipe
had to go Highlander just for Ben
Andrew Wyslotsky
DECADE OF DREAMS!!!
Luke Crawford
Very rude first round matchup
Madi
Throw Ben a bone! He loves the things!
Corey DeMarco
"This movie begins the way all my favorite movies begin; With big chrome letters that spell out ROBOCOP" - Griffen
Zachary Stein
Highlander sequels make are much better discussions
Wyatt Gray
I'm ashamed to say I've never seen Highlander, so that gets my vote so I'll be forced to finally watch it.
Don’t Sleep
THE DECADE OF DREAMS CONTINUES
Hannah K. Garden
yessssssss
OG McDuck
Wait, i thought this was a Citroën
John Dog
The only question is how many eps for Robocop - I mean like, just the first movie?
Rad Rodge
I think I want to vote for sword movies in general, let alone just Highlander specifically, this was a factor for me with Robins Hood too
Stan
Abstaining because I can not be forced to choose between the two excellent first installments and I resent the bracket for presenting me with the choice.
Regis L
Robocop! No, Highlander! No, Robocop! Who can decide??
Brandon Skidmore
Please not Robocop. Absolutely not
Damimoon Sunbeam
C'mon! Highlander would be such fun!!!

BEN + SWORD = MY HAPPINESS ♾️♾️♾️
Johannes Wiberg
Perhaps, if he's agitated and has lots of pitches - but from what I heard (funnily, I listen to the Robocop EP just the other day) they just make him depressed and angry, and that might not make for good episodes. I might be wrong, but I would pick Highlander.... however I don't think either of these have any chance in the bracket
John
I’d like to see Robocop go the distance now that we live in it’s corporate hell 🤞🏻

Hello y’all
Action Boyz crossover no matter who wins
Les Chappell
Remember Ben’s promise from last year: “If Highlander wins, I will buy a sword.”
Bill O'Donnell
This one is a real conundrum
Chris Radicone
Ooof this is a real Ben or Griff moment... I choose Biff!
Graeme Campbell
Cowardly Highlander: The Source erasure
Chris Radicone
.... can I still get a Wendy's Baconator?
Marty TC (child-sized Cardassian)
Sir, this is the Patreon
Daniel Citron
They’ll podcast you. They podcast everything.
Daniel Citron
It’s a griffin fave only insofar as there’s one movie he loves and the rest will break his heart
big red robot
I would rewatch all highlander movies a dozen times rather than sit through the robocop reboot a second time.
Chris Lynch
Potentially the new Highlander movie included? That robocop remake made me so mad! Even tho they used Hocus Pocus, but that was such a weird song choice!
James Asmus
ACAB (All Cops All Bots)
The Great Kha
I don't want to hear them trash highlander 2 which I had a transcendent experience watching for the first time last year on mushrooms so I'll go robocop
OG McDuck
Per usual, I'm dying for Robert Altman. Literally, in fact. I'm sacrificing myself to Xenu in the hopes that Bob gets reincarnated. But mostly what i live for is Barry Sonnenfeld knocking out that washed up hobo Peter Jackson. Send PJ back to life on the rails, carrying his enormous bindle-on-stick filled with unused Mortal Engines dvds.
Jake Vogt
I think his investment in it will still make those more interesting eps than the Highlanders though. A superfan who hates something typically finds a lot to say about it
justn
FIRST!
Aric Yakel-Kuntz
*munches Oreo smugly*
Aric Yakel-Kuntz
2 is frustrating because I can see a good movie buried in there. 3 is a total mess and the remake is just a fundamental misread of the original movie
Aric Yakel-Kuntz
I need Griffin reacting to all the other robocrap. If anyone hasn't watched RoboDoc, it's on Tubi and it absolutely rules.
Ginger’s Boyfriend Matt
How is this even close? They should cover Robocop once a year
Joshua Bauer
Highlander, if only to hear The Two Friends™️ lose their minds while watching The Quickening.
David Merryweather
Highlander would make for more amusing, wilder material for discussion. Even the first one is ridiculous!
Tashmon Dimps
Robert Cop for President!
dorium
Highlander is boring after the first one (and the first one is only saved by Clancy Brown)
Michael Curley
I have seen one RoboCop. I have seen no Highlanders. So this one is a bit of a ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ for me.
Eric Benjamin
DEAD OR ALIVE, YOU’RE PODDING WITH ME
Johannes Wiberg
I don't think Robocop would be Griffin's favorite since he seems to hate all the sequels and the remake.
David Rosenblatt
For griff!
Charles Muller
Voting for Ben
Stephen Mochan
I am Producer Ben of the clan McBlank!
Tom Enderby
Include Highlander: The Source (2007) you cowards!
Jimbotron
Killing an immortal means cutting off their head, but nobody said *which* head.
Manish Agarwal
Voted for Ben: there can only be one! Though he seems odds on to lose this time… ⚔️❌
Zachary Neeley
Exactly, there can only be one vote that’s good for Ben and Griffin, da Highlander moveesh
Barry Wigham
There can be only one !
Duncan Widmann
I assume Highlander 2 would be the more readily available “Renegade” cut and not the original theatrical version? Justice for Planet Zeist!
Doug Robertson
Picking Highlander for Griff because I know he'll hate watching the other Robert Cop movies
Njord
Vote for the nutty Highlander sequels!
Owen Phillips
A vote for highlander is a vote for Ben!
MoCoSwede
Robocop 2 should make for an interesting discussion: it’s directed by Irvin Kershner (of The Empire Strikes Back!) and yet it’s a huge step down from Robocop.
Connor Crehan
I voted Robocop because if they wait to do Highlander they can do the new Henry Cavill one too
Paul Sabourin
Robo wants an Oreo.
Zach Ehrlich
Highlander 2 is The Room/Troll 2 level bad and will make for entertaining commentary; voting on that alone
Andrew Wyslotsky
Highlander for Ben. There can only be one.
W. Fry
Juan Sánchez-Villalobos Ramírez!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glenn Peters
Two franchises that start out with the hero's death! Spoilers!
Josh Mclane
Godammit Connor doesn’t stand a chance against the dick shooter.
Conor Conneally
Listening to Griffin lose the will to live in Robocop 2 will be great.
Riley Hogan
Robocop is my vote but please do both
Jordan Coleman
DO BOTH!
Arrison Warner
Highlander is the greatest franchise than never broke it big, I need the gang to talk about the Quickening (the concept and movie)
Good
I’m choosing Highlander just for Ben.
Austin McDougle
voting for Highlander bc I like the Queen video where Freddie Mercury has a sword fight with Highlander, but instead of a sword he uses his mic stand
David Draper
This is disappointing; just think about how much fun a Highlander 2 episode would be.
Michael David
Not sure if you’re doing a bit?
sheabobay
Already done!! Great eps!!
Benjamin Ogden
BEN WILL BUY A SWORD. That promise is reason enough Highlandwr should win. Do it for the Hoz
Peter M
Pretty sure Robert can shoot through that kilt. ACAB (except RoboCop)
Woo-D
There can be only one! *sees the results* Uh…I mean, your move creep!
Andrew Jansson
I want to hear Ben swinging a giant sword around.
ian
No wrong choices today
Andrew Newbury
Voted for Ben
Alex Firer
Brian Case
This matchup is crazy
