In today’s Turkey Day battle, first-round victor WARRIOR OF THE LOST WORLD wields its dystopian menace against THE INCREDIBLY STRANGE CREATURES WHO STOPPED LIVING AND BECAME MIXED UP ZOMBIES. It’s Ray Dennis Steckler against The Paper Chase Guy in a fight to see who can be the most unlikeable! Which of these faces will watch over you as you consume turkey and, possibly, yams? It’s decision time!
As a reminder, your votes will be deciding four of the episodes we show in this year’s Turkey Day Marathon, in a single-elimination bracket battle to the death! Or at least to the next round of voting!
New votes will go up on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays by noon ET, and close out 36 hours later. And even when we get to your top four choices, we’ll keep voting anyway to declare a tournament winner.
I know there’ll be a lot of people who go, “I’m voting for Zombies because Warrior has been in 4 Turkey Days already…” But Mixed Up Zombies is such a weak episode that I’d rather watch Warrior of the Lost World for the 100th time than the proposed alternative. Another vote for the Gintyest movie around.
Think I gotta go with Megaweapon on this one. The heroes are both unappealing, so we have to go with secondary characters, and Madison just can’t hold a candle to Megaweapon.
I enjoy both films for entirely different reasons, but think that Warrior is simply the more palatable holiday film. And as the riff of the council members at the end attests, it has more stars than pretty much any movie ever.
Zombies has never been anywhere near one of my favorites, and by now a Turkey Day without Megaweapon, is like a Turkey Day without that one uncle showing up to annoy everyone by talking about politics. So, I’m going with Warrior Of The Lost World.
