ep340: mAy24 - Popcorn Punchout
A new month brings a new theme, and a new theme brings a new POPCORN PUNCHOUT, where we Video Monsters use our patented Video Rack Attack Bracket technology to decide which three films we will be reviewing this month. The theme for May is based around every film nerd’s favorite distribution (and occasional production) company, A24! And because we are bound by the Video Monster bylaws to capitalize on every obvious bad pun name that is presented to us, this month’s theme shall henceforth be referred to as mAy24! Obviously.
Now about the bracket. We start with 20 films. The first 5 are chosen by an audience vote. Nathan, Eric, and Dan then take turns selecting their 5 films to compete in the bracket. The final 20 A24 films are then placed into our Skull of Decisions and drawn at random to create our initial round of 8 matchups (which means 4 films won’t even make it out of the Skull to compete!) Each pairing is briefly discussed, votes are cast, and the film with a majority of votes will move on to the next round. Voting continues until only two films are left. The third film is decided by our chaos bracket. Nathan, Eric, and Dan each have at least one chaos card they can use to “save” a defeated film and advance it the chaos bracket, giving it the potential to be resurrected as the third and final film to be reviewed this month.
With such an eclectic list of films, this may prove to be our most dramatic Punchout yet! So grab your AAA24 membership card, alert Film Twitter, and hit the titular Italian motorway because it’s time to get into a POPCORN PUNCHOUT with mAy24!
