BC MARCH MADNESS 2025 - Day 2
🕑 Added 2025-03-02 19:00:08 +0000 UTCIt was kind of close, but ultimately you folks decided that you preferred "More Dick" to "Some Pulp" - PHILIP K DICK MOVES ON TO THE NEXT ROUND!
Up today, we are pitting two of the stars of Kenneth Branagh's Much Ado About Nothing against each other, and instead of being young, hot, and armed with swords, they're old, grizzled, and armed with guns.
It's JOHN WICK vs THE EQUALIZER.
("Branagh series WHEN???" - me, Marie, making this post)
With John Wick, we'd cover the four Keanu vehicles:
John Wick
John Wick Chapter 2
John Wick Chapter 3 - Parabellum
John Wick Chapter 4
With The Equalizer, we'd cover the three Denzel vehicles:
The Equalizer
The Equalizer 2
The Equalizer 3
So, who will it be - Reeves/Stahelski, or Washington/Fuqua?

There is nothing new to say about John Wick. The first and 4th movies might be good episodes but the middle two are gonna be a slog. How many times can they have the same conversation about how the rules don’t make sense and Keanu Reeves is amazing? Equalizer switches up supporting cast in every movie and could lead to a ton of fun conversations. Plus, a LOT more plot going on

+1 Kenny B

They have occasionally praised the Equalizers and I think they consider them really solid
Doctor,Doctor
Voting for Equalizer because it’s the shorter series and I don’t care about either of these (not that either has a chance at winning)
Chris Radicone
The "Equalizer would be better because they're boring" crowd has a point but I'd counter that with David watching Next Generation. There's honestly no correlation, remember that middle section of Table Top those movies were crazy terrible and we ALL felt it.
Lauren Schultz
Hey Nonny Nonny!
Emily Scott
Incredibly tough decision but ultimately decided on Wick because I'm guessing the crew will say nice things about those movies. I'd just be mad if they watched the Equalizers and bagged on them.
madi
Voted john wick with my fingers but branagh with my ❤️
Rory Dunn
Unfortunately Equalizer 3 is very boring and kinda bsd
Good
Pick equalizer bro
Good
100% but you have to know that to know that and sadly most people won’t know that.
Robert Young
Burger report revival?
Alexander Annand
I think Wick will open the door for some fun chats about 'Rules' and world building - not to mention as I said above I'd love to hear some love for Reddick and Mchshane (and Common and Donnie Yen and Halle Berry and Marc Dacoscos and Michael Nyqvist). But yeah, at the end of the day I'm keen for 6 hours talking about how much of a Mensch The Equalizer is
Kyle Heyman
Dude for real, it's gonna be 4 episodes of them watching the movies silently and David going "Talk, guys!" every few seconds. Equalizer would have a lot more to discuss, I'm surprised the vote is so lopsided.
Alexander Annand
That said - I don't think we've had a chance to deep dive on either Ian McShane or Lance Reddick yet so i'll be happy either way.
Joshua Baldwin
Wick so you can get Mantzoukas for his own episode!
Alexander Annand
I prefer the John Wick franchise but there's no doubt in my mind that Equalizer would make for a better Blank Check series.
Harry Mitchell
Y'all. Equalizer should SWEEEEP.
Sloane
Booooo
zod cham
booooo, give us denzel
Jordan Fish
The Equalizer films
Flappy McGillicuddy-Jones III
John Wick, more like John WACK
John Dog
Equalizer because Wick, Keanu, stunt stuff, practical FX etc get talked about a lot and Denzel Washington doesn't get talked about half enough.
Robert Young
The second and third Equalizers are pretty bad, but I think they would make better episodes since they are more distinct than the wick series. That being said, I don’t think either series is going the distance.
Owen McIlhattan
This reply to a reply to a comment is not where I should be putting my main feed thoughts, but I'm also not signing up for bluesky just to say this. All I want is for everyone, but particularly Ben, to watch Schitzopolis and tell me their thoughts. Is that too much to ask for?
Good
Equalizer is going to have much better conversations with those movies compared to John Wick, but I do love John Wick. This one is a win-win. But it really should be The Equalizer. But they might cover fuqua on the main feed. So John should win l guess.
jahr
Agree with Marie!
Maricela Gonzalez
Getting equalized will make a much more fun mini series than getting wicked
Jack Connor
Equalizer would be more interesting. JW falls off hard after #1.

TICK TOCK JOHN WICK
Stephen Sambrook
Dicktory! We have dicktory!
david herbert
Come on Equalizer!!!
John W
"From the world of John Wick" sounds more like the tagline of the movie poster and ad campaign
BENJAMIN SHULTZ
I want at least a half hour spent on debating whether the title of Ballerina is Ballerina or From the World of John Wick: Ballerina and if it’s the latter, is that the worst title ever?
Michael C
Does John Wick mean someone’s talking about The Continental because that is an interesting nothing burger
Haley
Marie you are spillingggg!!!!! the Shakespeare girlies demand Branagh
Molly McNeeley
Truly, Branagh series when?? Also, I kind of want to save the Equalizer films for a Fuqua miniseries? He seems like he’d be an interesting guy to go deep on.
Bobby Styles
Got it, thanks!
Ross Kroeber
They’re posting them on Bluesky
M
Now I just want that Much Ado About Nothing! Bring on Sexy Shakespeare.
Damian Brown
I never watched the Wick movies so this would be a good excuse
Justice B
The Equalizer 2 makes The Equalizer 3 look like The Equalizer!
Njord
I’m ready for a Wick-ed good time!
James Sykora
TBF John Wick is also armed with swords.
Benjamin Haworth
Honestly Marie please push for a Marie's pick with Branagh. God I love that brilliant ham.
Carolyn
Get Zooks on a Jon Wick ep. Plz
Dylan Murray
Was about to make a joke about racist blankies and Black History month - but whatever. I'm going Equalizer.
Joe Martin
Can’t we combine them for one series? The Wickalizer? The Eqwick? I don’t like voting against Denzel even if the second one kinda stinks.
Tom Jorgensen
They say if you listen closely on a quiet night, you can still hear John Wick falling down the stairs outside Sacre Coeur.
Bobby Styles
Where do they show the winner of the prior day’s Main Feed voting?
sheabobay
I would love to be slayed by either of these cute hotties
Matthew Chmiel
The last hour of John Wick: Chapter 4 is better than all of The Equalizer films combined.
RosieOGravy
All things being Equal, I vote Denny
sheabobay
Yiiiii this is toughhhhhhh
Ben
Insane how hot these guys look in this movie
sheabobay
Yo new artwork is dope!! 📀
Scott Marshall

Njord
He’s more than earned it!
Lauren Damon
Incredibly hot Much Ado picture, thank you.
Sean Mckeown
EQUALIZE ME
Sj
tick tock, no time to dilly-dally Mr. The Equalizer.
Holden Martinson
The Equalizer? What is this, a DAW?
Tashmon Dimps
Recency Bias is totally swaying me, but I do genuinely think the John Wick movies are a triumph of modern blockbuster filmmaking.
The Real Stevie Lew
I WANT THE DICK IN ME
Jordan
I just wanna hear Ben’s reaction to John wick 4. So many insane action set pieces to behold
Eric U
I guess it's fine if equalizer doesn't win, makes a full fuqua mini next year a better option.
Teddy K
This patreon needs to be equalized! You all need to be equalized!! And there's only one man who can properly equalize at that scale, and it's not Keanu.
Russell Barnes
Great pull from the Shakespeare they did together.
Bjørn Kristensen
Throught it’d go Wick’s way and don’t disagree. Just excited either way 🤩
lil rob
Would love an extended chunk on r/doesthedogdie
August Hammel
also marie im right there with u we MUST take a trip in the river of ham w kenny b
Colin
The Equalizer movies are dull snoozefests — dip your Wick instead!
Matthew Farkas
I never got into the world of John Wick. This would definitely give me a reason to give it another try.
aya and ariel
branagh series WHEN
Charles
This is tough, but I can’t pass up the live reaction to the whole last hour of Wick 4.
August Hammel
think about the equalizer bits!!!
herb
I'm with Marie on this one.
Holden Martinson
Time to light the Wick and light BC:SF up!
