MARCH MADNESS 2023 - Day 27 (Patreon)

RIP JELLY - a loss by 34 votes. You were too good for this world. Police Story moves on to face Ocean’s in the Final Four.

Up today - another literary matchup!

It’s ELMORE LEONARD vs. PHILIP K DICK.

For LEONARD, we’d cover his 4 famous 90s crime movies (yeah, we know “Be Cool” is from the 2000s, but it’s a direct sequel):

• Get Shorty (1995)
• Jackie Brown (1997)
• Out of Sight (1998)
• Be Cool (2005)

We will not be covering any of his myriad other adaptations…Leonard Westerns could be their own genre.

With PHILIP K. DICK, we’d narrow the field and cover 6 films:

• Blade Runner (1982)
• Paycheck (2003)
• A Scanner Darkly (2006)
• Next (2003)
• The Adjustment Bureau (2011)
• Blade Runner 2049 (2017)

We would not be covering MINORITY REPORT and TOTAL RECALL (1987) because we’ve already covered those on the main feed, and we’d be skipping the TOTAL RECALL remake and some other stinkers because, per David - “ugh, those might kill us”

So - who moves on to the Final Four?
