I didn't see the vote until 4 hours before it closed and I didn't see Day 21's AT ALL. And I refreshed the page regularly to check on it.

Brynndiana Jones

I don't think the email went out for this - that might be an issue - fewer voters than usual

The Mayor of Christmas

SNL would be winning if they were doing It’s Pat.

Spam Boi

I can’t believe you mfers >:/

Justin Sanders

I’ve been drinking since noon for a work event and was casually ready to vote for my sure fire win, SNL and I’m very upset y’all’s

Rad Rodge

This is also very confusing to me as demographic information, I wouldn’t have thought a group that’s sweeping TMNT or Jelly toward the final four would also shift away from SNL this fast

Div Whateley

Some of these fools don't even care if they'll one day need lifesaving inventions made of household materials.

Eric Hazelbaker

I’m genuinely shocked with this vote total so far. The SNL series would be amazing. Any talk of MacGruber should be praised!

Rad Rodge

I’m interested in this Lonely Island concept though, that deserves a bracket slot

Rad Rodge

Yeah, I mean, Minority Report is such a massively context-rich movie that I’d be happy for them to do a new commentary with a new guest every year

Rob Moden

Oh hi, I made a list of all the people who (to my memory) haven't really been covered on the podcast before but the Two Friends could go deep on in an SNL series. Think of all the career context! The Blues Brothers: John Belushi James Brown Cab Calloway Aretha Franklin Ray Charles Henry Gibson John Candy Wayne’s World: Penelope Spheeris Mike Myers Dana Carvey Meat Loaf Ed O’Neill Bonnie & Terry Turner Coneheads: Steve Barron Tom Davis Jane Curtin Michelle Burke Sinbad Michael Richards Eddie Griffin Jason Alexander Dave Thomas Larraine Newman Garrett Morris Drew Carey Joey Lauren Adams Julia Sweeney Ellen DeGeneres Tim Meadows Al Franken A Night at the Roxbury: Amy Heckerling Richard Grieco Jennifer Coolidge Michael Clarke Duncan Mark McKinney Chazz Palminteri Superstar: Bruce McCulloch Harland Williams Glynis Johns Tom Green The Ladies Man: Andrew Steele Reginald Hudlin Karyn Parsons Tiffani Thiessen Lee Evans John Witherspoon Kevin McDonald Chris Parnell MacGruber: Jorma Taccone & The Lonely Island WWE Wrestlers Brandon Trost Will Forte Ryan Phillippe Maya Rudolph Powers Boothe Marielle Heller

Kevin Sprague

yeah, but there isn't that much chance of getting Ridley, Linklater, or Villeneuve anytime soon. There are so many other directors to cover. This is nice way to get to talk a little about directors that are too "obvious" or long for the main series, imo.

Austyn Banks

Philip K Dick films listed include some films they should be covered in a miniseries. SNL movies fit better with the commentary

Holden Martinson

They knew that the people who get emails would vote SNL, and didn't want the vote to go that way. (This isn't why any of this happened, obviously, but it is crazy that this has less than half the votes as other match-ups, which may or may not make a difference.)

Anthony Regina

I can’t let SNL go down like this!

eric english

Hot Rod isn’t based on an SNL sketch though. Sure it’s written, produced, directed by and starring SNL alums, but so are Mean Girls, and Tommy Boy.

Matt Walker

kinda hurts there's no Hot rod on here, but hopefully that means a Lonely Island series in the future

Bailey Proper

I swear this should just be the final bracket, I'd rather either of these before most of any of the others.

Rosemarie

I’m voting for SNL but the people demand a Pat episode. We need Ben’s thoughts on Ween

Hunter Stewart

I think A Scanner Darkly is the best encapsulation of Dick's work while also a great movie.

Tyler Duggan

SNL cuz there’s no good reason why you can’t do Minority Report again. Could’ve had Sean Fennessey or Jamelle Bouie or someone. Joanna’s was great, have her back and y’all analyze it post-Maverick/Fablemans!

Kevin Love Hewitt

My local Alamo played a scanner darkly two nights ago and it was glorious. So much to talk about from the two friends. Highly recommend

Devin

I agree with Blake. I did vote SNL, but I'd rather Roxbury or Superstar were replaced with It's Pat. It's Pat might be the best SNL movie if only because it's the only one to feature Ween.

Blake Shafer

Would have voted for SNL with It’s Pat. It aged very interestingly.

Jordan Gibson

I hate that I had to choose between these two. No matter what, a part of me feels defeated today. On the other hand... a huge part of me will be super stoked!! Here. We. Go!!

Bob Lemmon

Which SNL films are on the list? Bc Stuart Saves His Family is pretty good, probably the best outside of Blues Brothers

Johannes Wiberg

voted for snl when i saw no Its Pat.

Matthew Kahl

voted for snl before i saw no Its Pat.

Evan

Agreed!

Evan

Do all of the SNL movies or none of them is what I say. Bring the Dick!

Rory Dunn

I Love Dick (teehee) but the SNL run has a better narrative built in to discuss

HappyCroc

I don't like to vote for episodes that could be part of a main feed series, and Dick has a few of those. But let's face it, neither of these are winning.

longhornsteve

DICK! DICK! DICK!

Matthew Sherry

Coneheads>Dickheads

Eggnog The Space Cadet

Dickheads unite!!!

Marzi Margo

SNL is a fun idea for a commentary miniseries, but once again, y'all have ruined it by omitting it's pat, stuart saves his family, and blues brothers 2000. cover the whole franchise or bust! those 3 stinkers would be just as fun as the rest!

Louis Frey

A tough one, but I think snl would be so fun. Again it doesn’t matter though because Jelly is taking the crown.

Jeremy Frank

We need Ben to promote Coneheadcore

Cameron

Next is such a dumb movie and I want to hear that episode

Sofia Car

PARTY ON PEOPLE

TV's Kevin Lanigan

Schwing!

Adam Grzegorczyk

I was probably going to pick PKD anyways, but no It's Pat makes it a lot easier for me

Henry McKenzie

Begging y'all for Dick right now.

Sam A. Sipe

C'mon y'all we got get that DICK!!!

Zak Goldberger

Both of these options, y'all are disappointing me by leaving stuff out. It's only a couple more SNL movies! Stinkers can be fun! And I'd really be intrigued by a Total Recall remake episode, in part because you've already covered the original, so the contrast would be interesting, and David is SUCH a Colin guy - I feel like it's worth covering the movies where he doesn't really work. You're doing a Men in Black International episode, that didn't kill you....i think. Voted PKD anyways, the idea of that miniseries excites me even with the stuff you're leaving out.
