ONE FINAL FOUR.

Tonight on Canon Fodder, Jeff and Stephen enter the most dangerous kind of tournament: one where everyone thinks their favorite franchise deserves to survive.

Movies. TV. Games. Superheroes. Sci-fi. Horror. Comedy. Giant cultural institutions that have absolutely no business being compared to each other… which is exactly why we’re doing it.

We’ve built a 64-franchise bracket, and we’re working through all four regions LIVE, matchup by matchup, until only the Final Four remain.

Expect impossible choices, passionate arguments, questionable logic, painful eliminations, and at least one matchup that may have been created specifically to cause emotional distress.

And if Jeff and Stephen can’t agree? We have a tiebreaker.

No ultimate champion tonight. We stop when we reach the Final Four — because some arguments deserve their own episode.

Join us live, make your picks in the chat, and tell us exactly how wrong we are.
