MARCH MADNESS 2024 - Day 25
🕑 Added 2024-03-25 16:00:41 +0000 UTCDick Tracy told Hercule Poirot to shave his mustache and go back to Belgium - Tracy and the other Pulp Heroes move on to the next round!
Speaking of next rounds, here is an update on where we stand going into the ELITE EIGHT:
Up today - a short guy vs a Tall Guy.
It's TABLETOP GAMES vs RICHARD CURTIS ROMCOMS.
With TABLETOP GAMES, we'd cover six films (and yes, we've added Ouija: Origin of Evil to the roster):
Clue
Battleship
Dungeons & Dragons
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Ouija
Ouija: Origin of Evil
With RICHARD CURTIS ROMCOMS, we'd cover five of his most beloved scripts:
The Tall Guy
Four Weddings & A Funeral
Notting Hill
Love Actually
About Time
So - do you want to hear David freak out about how much he loves D&D? Or freak out over how inaccurate the depiction of Notting Hill is in NOTTING HILL?

Dang, I just watched Four Weddings as a Lynch chaser and remembered some Curtis discussion happening here…found the post to revisit/see if a Curtis miniseries is in the cards and am seeing a 25% vote for it so lol I GUESS NOT😭
Joel Cunningham
It's coming down to Pulp Heroes v. Tabletop
Josh Harvey
Tall guy is seriously a movie? By the poster alone I’d think mad magazine sendup.
Corby Weyhmiller
I am very interested in what The Tall Guy is based on that poster….haha. But hearing Ben able to weigh in the new D & D and Clue is wonderful. Table Top all the way!!
CT
At this point in the game, I’m all Tabletop. I mean, at least you get some freakin variety. The other juggernaut seems to be Sandler, which is (c’mon) the same movie over and over. Vote well unless you really just need one of the hosts to point out every time Sandler says, “Hoobity shoobity doo!” in his old movies. For, like, 5 movies.
Robert Young
I don’t want to bankrupt myself stuffing the ballot with multiple subs…but I’m considering it.
James Manning
Good. I want Highlander to destroy Equalizer! Then we’ll see…
Eggnog The Space Cadet
*Arsenio-style whoops*
FirstPet BirthStreet
Yeah what this guy said!
Adam Mincks
You see? Like the Mounties, Tabletop Games always gets its man!
Colin
I guess if Clive is out I’ll put my energy behind Tabletop and Pulp.
Donald W Pratt
Nothing wrong with that.
Will McLaren
The Tall Guy should fight Slenderman

Voting is fun! PODCASTS ARE FUN
Tyler Duggan
Nah, Highlander. We all love Ben.
James Manning
Clue and Honor Among Thieves are the only interesting movies in tabletop. Happy is gonna crush everyone anyway!
James Manning
Pulp has to get past Happy first. No easy task.
Ben Bequette
I am a Curtis fellow myself, but battleship would be such a fun ep. In my memory they use ‘explosion covers the use of the f word’ at least twice. Also it’s about how being Liam Neeson’s prospective son-in-law is hard??
Eggnog The Space Cadet
TABLETOP! TABLETOP! TABLETOP!
Michael C
I want every episode to be recorded while playing the relevant tabletop game. And for Griffin to cast Magic Missile, of course.
CJ Foss
Honor Among Thieves is great but the juice in tabletop games is seeing Jeremy Irons in Dungeons and Dragons
Manish Agarwal
Two Wins & A Folding (Like Laundry)
Chris Radicone
This just made me hungry for Thai food.
Chris Radicone
My wife would have loved the Richard Curtis Patreon, but I hope Tabletop takes the whole thing. There are some gems here.. I agree that "Honor among Thieves" was a sleeper and is pretty dang good. I'd also add to table-top games: TAG: The Assassination Game with Robert Carradine and Linda Hamiltons firsr feature film and starring role.
David Celaya
Ahhh! I was just going for the cheap laugh, “David grew up in London…WHAT!!!” bit, but this is interesting info. Thx :)
Carolyn
Let's bring out the Ouija board and start talking with The Tall Guy
Erich Van Dussen
Ah well, I would have eaten up a conversation about THE TALL GUY.
Dan Palesano
If this was just The Tall Guy vs. Tabletop i might go Tall Guy, but i have 0 interest in the rest of those movies.
Erin Shaw
Not positive, but I believe it'd likely be because Notting Hill used to be primarily an Afro-Caribbean immigrant neighborhood, including when the film would have taken place and there's nary one black person in the whole movie 😂
Bon Champion
They already gave their Love Actually takes on the bracket check-in. Episode unnecessary! Three* good** plot lines! * generous ** very generous
Robert Young
Just voting for whatever I think will lose to Pulp the hardest.
David Celaya
Wait…why would David freak out about the description of Notting Hill?
R. Grossman
Thank you everyone. Maybe democracy does work
Deven KB
Tabletop games all the way, bay-bee!
Robert Zakes
I just want David to talk about both D&D movies. Since TNG didn't get through, this is now my only passion. I love it when David is the one who nerds out about stuff.
Rob Bliss
Honestly, just want a Clue episode and a Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves episode. Two great films!
Beardmask
Tabletop Games all the way. We're going to the big show, nerds!
Isaac Adams
Good riddance to bad rubbish (aka Richard Curtis' full body of work)
Anthony Regina
This is an unexpected landslide to me. Ah well.
William Garcia
Just to be clear, they’re gonna wait to start recording until Jarnathan shows up, right?
Jonah
It's fun to see something get annihilated this late in the game
Terry Ballard
Toughest vote yet.
Gabriel Martino
For Jarnathan
Blake Anderson
Guys I watched notting hill this weekend AND about time! These movies are so sincere and silly and cute and would bring such an interesting energy to the pod. Vote for love
David
they should do an episode where one of them is watching The Tall Guy and the other is watching 2012 jessica biel horror film The Tall Man
Alaric Hahn
Tabletop BUZZSAW!
ed wine supernova
I was ready to vote tabletop games, but look at how goofy Rowan Atkinson is on The Tall Guy poster!
Emily Scott
Okay, this is where I finally feel safe letting go of Richard Curtis and protecting him from David's wrath
Donald W Pratt
Come on, give me that sweet sweet Curry action!
Begemott
Love Actually episode would be fun for everyone hating it, but I think tabletop has more juice
cybersnacks
Mazes and Monsters deserves to make the list imo
Eric Gendron
Tabletop vs Pulp Heroes in the finals, right?
sheabobay
GAME GAME GAME
big red robot
I'm all in for Tabletop but I feel compelled to watch whatever the hell The Tall Guy is??
Jordan Cook
Witchboard is also an awesome movie about Ouija boards.
Chris Miracle
Tabletop all the way baby!
Chad Perry
This is hard. I love a lot of the Curtis romcoms, but I think tabletop will provide for more entertaining episodes and does have a couple gems.
Evan
Main feed is getting serious. Let's chill out with some tabletop
Foggo Ravencha
Jarnathan!!
Holden Martinson
Richard Curtis getting buried like he deserves.
Benjamin White
Don’t blame me, I’m voting for the burrito crimes of Battleship!
Jon Auerbach
Is this the end of the line for Love Actually????
Adam Bruski
The Tall Guy should come with a warning label from the Surgeon General.
Erick Sanchez
Man, this is going to be a true obliteration.
Joseph Johnson
Tabletop games is a fucking wagon, everybody get on
Oliver Schulze
i knew Curtis wasn’t long for this world 😪
Andrew Reichart
(obligatory) JARNATHAN!
Jake
Tabletop games straight to the top
Andrew Carden
Still sobbing over Oz/Henson losing :(
Anthony Pierre Coco
Bummed about Oz/Henson but at least I get to watch Love Actually get bodied
Jack Barr
This is revenge for Linklater fans boosting the vote /s
Joe Skonce
I lost Oz/Henson so Jarnathan is the only thing keeping me going
