Thirty-two sci-fi and horror franchises enter. Dinosaurs, aliens, giant monsters, undead nightmares, questionable experiments, and things that probably should have stayed buried all have a shot at the crown. But which franchise can survive when the competition gets fierce?

For this round of Pop Culture Roulette, the franchises were seeded using their estimated cumulative revenue before going head-to-head in a bracket that puts some of the biggest names in sci-fi and horror against some seriously underrated contenders. From Jurassic Park and Godzilla to Tremors, Hellraiser, The X-Files, and plenty of wonderfully weird choices, there are no guaranteed winners just because a franchise has made a mountain of money.

Which series has the staying power, the memorable monsters, and the legacy to outlast the competition? Which heavyweights stumble, and which underdogs make an unexpected run? Nicholas, Jeremy, and Justin settle the arguments the only way PCR can: one matchup at a time, with plenty of debate along the way.

Give it a listen, pick your own winner, and let us know which franchise you think deserved to take the whole thing!
