Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and coming out of the closet. We’re back with an indie film that combines two of our favorite genres: heists and time travel! In order to escape police after a robbery, two estranged siblings lay low in a farmhouse that hides them away in a different time, where they are trapped in a vise between past and future. Starring Adam David Thompson and Riley Dandy, this timey-wimey thriller was written and directed by Michael Felker in his directorial debut. Originally called Timeshare, the film was a standout in the 2024 SXSW Midnight section, and received a direct-to-video release a few weeks ago. The movie is called Things Will Be Different, and we couldn’t agree more! This is Chronovember!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and finding a penny in your pocket. “Look, a penny!” Author Richard Matheson is best known as a master of the suspenseful twist. One of his most famous works, I Am Legend, has been adapted as The Omega Man, The Last Man on Earth, and the eponymous Will Smith version. For television, he contributed to Star Trek, created Duel and The Night Stalker, and penned some of the most famous episodes of The Twilight Zone. But one of his most enduring, and endearing, films is a low-budget romance starring Christopher Reeve (fresh off his turn in the tights as Superman) and Jane Seymour. The pair play a couple separated by sixty years but brought together by hypnosis-induced time travel in story that features a signature Matheson twist. We’re checking in to the Grand Hotel on Mackinac Island to see if Somewhere in Time is worth the wait.

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and resetting the day with your demise. When PR officer William Cage (played by Tom Cruise) is unwillingly sent into combat against an invading alien army, he unwittingly gains the power to rewind time… but only if he dies. He teams up with war hero Rita Vrataski (played by Emily Blunt), who previously had the same power, to attempt to defeat an alien horde that uses time as a weapon - by living, dying, and repeating. Directed by Bourne Identity helmer Doug Liman, this 2014 sci-fi actioner based on the Japanese novel All You Need Is Kill was a box office hit and established Blunt’s status as an action hero. Ten years later, we’re reviewing Edge of Tomorrow as our 700th episode and the kickoff to our annual tradition of watching time travel movies in November. This is Chronovember!

Legends of Halloween has come to the end of the road. A twisty cliffside road high in the Carpathian Mountains. And at the end of that road, there is a castle. Owned by a kindly old count named… Vlad. The year is 1992 and Francis Ford Coppola is bringing Bram Stoker's classic gothic horror novel to the big screen. Starring Gary Oldman in the titular role, the stacked cast includes Anthony Hopkins, Winona Ryder, Keanu Reeves, Richard E. Grant, Cary Elwes, and Billy Campbell. The adaptation of the 1897 epistolary novel won three Academy Awards - Best Costume Design, Best Sound Editing, and Best Makeup - and debuted in first place at the box office, ultimately grossing over $200 million. Now we’re ending October where we began, with a trip to Transylvania and an interview with a vampire - but not just any vampire. This is Bram Stoker’s Dracula!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

This week, Legends of Halloween checks in with the inventor of pod casting, Seth Brundle. Brundle, played by Jeff, uh, Goldblum, is a reclusive scientist on the cutting edge of baboon-killing technology. While trying to crack the code of instantaneous teleportation, he recklessly experiments on himself. But when a common housefly gets caught in the machine, the result is an exercise in body horror that only David Cronenberg could deliver. The film, a remake of the 1958 classic, co-stars Geena Davis, who was at the time Goldblum’s real-life girlfriend, as the reporter and love interest Ronnie who delivers the classic line, “Be afraid, be very afraid!” The film won an Academy Award for Best Makeup, inspired a sequel and has even been turned into an opera scored by Howard Shore. Now we’re stepping into the pod to beam ourselves directly into your ears - let’s hope they stay attached! - as we talk about the 1986 version of The Fly!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Legends of Halloween takes a detour into Lovecraft Country with special guest comic book author Michael Watson. Based on the 1927 short story, H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space” follows the aftermath of a mysterious meteorite that crashes on a family farm in the dark woods west of Arkham, Massachusetts. Starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Richard Stanley, the film adaptation was meant to kickstart a shared Lovecraft cinematic universe, but wound up buried at the box office. And here to help with our review of Color Out of Space, we've got the creator and author of the Lovecraftian indie comic, ITHAQA, which expands the map of Lovecraft Country to include the Roaring ‘20s in Ithaca, New York. Stick around after our review to learn more about ITHAQA and find out how you can become a part of the cosmic horror!   Find out more about ITHAQA at https://www.ithaqacomic.com/ and subscribe to get free digital copies of the first two issues!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Legends of Halloween gets in touch with its inner girl with a 1992 “satirical surrealistic black comedy fantasy film” - and yes, that’s how Wikipedia categorizes it. Directed by Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Helmer Robert Zemeckis, this film defied categorization just as hard as its main characters defy the laws of nature. Meryl Steep and Goldie Hawn star as two image-obsessed rivals for the affection of plastic surgeon-turned-cosmetic mortician Bruce Willis, when they both learn that the secret to eternal youth comes with a price. “Now, a warning?!”  Featuring what were revolutionary computer-generated effects, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, the film went on to become a cult classic, especially in the queer community, and will soon bow on Broadway as a musical.

Legends of Halloween is back for another spooky season with a throwback from twenty years ago, which is itself a throwback to the classic Universal Monster movies. Director Stephen Sommers had found success five years earlier in reanimating another Universal monster, The Mummy, with the Legend of ‘99 film starring Brendan Fraser. Here he tries to recapture the magic that led to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s movie career with a Hugh Jackman-starring take on the classics Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man. While the resultant film did “stake” a claim at the box office (to the sum of $300 million) it was D.O.A. with film critics (the same ones who hated The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, another literary mash-up released the year prior) and plans for a franchise were quickly buried. But God Himself can’t erase our memories - we watched Van Helsing, so you’re going to hear about it… Dammit!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Nineteen-eighty-four launched a number of sci-fi/comedy franchises, including Ghostbusters, Gremlins, The Toxic Avenger, and the continuation of series like Star Trek and Indiana Jones. Meanwhile, action/comedies like Beverly Hills Cop and Romancing the Stone found success with audiences. Overall, theatergoers preferred lighter fare as opposed to weighty adaptations like Dune and, well, 1984. So what better time to release a movie about a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, rock star, and secret agent - and that’s just the main character. Starring Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown, and Ellen Barkin, the film by writer Earl Mac Rauch and director W. D. Richter seemed set up to be an instant Eighties classic - except no one went to see it. Although its franchise hopes cratered on impact, the improbably titled film has earned a cult following in the forty years since, while its many stars became Eighties icons themselves.

We’re joined by listener Jeff to present his exhaustive (and exhausting) take on Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon director’s cut! Clocking in at six hours and seventeen minutes, Jeff took on the Herculean task of watching the entire saga in one sitting, whilst taking copious notes. After he shared them with us a few weeks ago, we decided that the only way we would be able to properly honor his sacrifice would be to invite Jeff himself to join us on the show. So, for the first time in the history of movie podcast, a listener is going to review a movie that we three hosts could not bring ourselves to watch. This is it, folks. This is the big one. It’s Rebel Moon, the Director’s Cut, Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness, as told to us by listener Jeff!   Check out our Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse live commentary episode: https://legendspodcast.libsyn.com/legends-podcast-bonus-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-commentary    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're back with a film about filmmaking, spycraft and celebrity, starring the one and only Nicolas Cage. In the movie, Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself, down on his luck and struggling to connect with his teenage daughter, when a wealthy fan (who may or may not be a kidnapper and arms dealer) makes Cage an offer he can't refuse. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, this two-hander is equal parts bromance, action-comedy, and homage to Cage’s lengthy career. And while director Tom Gormican’s debut flopped at the box office despite positive reviews, it has become a meme-fueled cult hit in the two years since its release. Now we'll find out if we can withstand - or will we be squashed beneath? - The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

I am awaited! After a long time away, a bombastic veteran makes a triumphant return to the stage that made him famous. I’m talking, of course, about director George Miller, the driving force behind the Mad Max films since the first one hit the gas in 1979. Earlier this year, the latest installment of the Mad Max saga roared into cinemas… but for the first time, Max Rockatansky was not one of the lead characters. Instead, the film focuses on telling the origin story of Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron in the last outing, Fury Road, here played by Anya Taylor-Joy, with Alyla Brown playing her as the child. With many characters familiar to Fury Road fans, this prequel forges enough connective tissue to feel part the saga sans Max, while Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus provides a worthy adversary. That said, audiences themselves didn’t make the trek to the theater, with the film barely surpassing its production budget at the box office. So what are we to make of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga? Is it a prequel that delivers the goods, or does this doomsday detour deserve to be lost in the Wasteland forever?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Aug-Heist takes things to the next level with this 2012 thriller about a suicidal man, a stolen diamond, and good old fashioned insurance fraud! With a stacked cast including Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, Jamie Bell, Edward Burns, Kyra Sedgewick, and Ed Harris, the film has all the makings of a genre classic. But it did a bellyflop at the box office and cratered with critics. Was the title a little too “high concept” for audiences, or did the plot twists give viewers vertigo? Don’t look down… Aug-Heist will take its last leap for 2024 with Man on a Ledge!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Aug-Heist rolls on with a return to the mean streets of London! Following Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, director Guy Ritchie goes back to the well of the seedy underworld of British tough guys with this year 2000 release. Several LS2SB actors come back as well, including Jason Statham, Vinnie Jones, Jason Flemyng, Alan Ford, and the film adds some non-Brits, too, with Brad Pitt, Dennis Farina, and Benico del Toro in the mix. Clearly following the "if it ain't broke, bloke, don't fix it, innit" rule, Ritchie hews closely to the formula of his previous film, but the film was a success both critically and commercial. Audiences ate up Snatch, but when Beef and Rum Daddy sink their teeth into it, anything can happen. Note: Lobster the Mobster (A.K.A. Jonny Two Claws A.K.A. The Singing Shellfish A.K.A. The Crusty Caucasian) is still in Witness Protection as of this recording.    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're on a brief hiatus this week, so we've plundered the Legends Vault for some appropriate loot to tide you over. Before we score Guy Ritchie's second film, Snatch, we're giving you our review of his first.  This week we’re talking about Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, also one of our Legends of ‘99, the movie that launched the acting careers of Jason Statham and Vinnie Jones, began the directing careers of Guy Ritchie and Matthew Vaughn, spawned a short-lived TV series, and, along with The Limey, is the second Legend of ‘99 to heavily employ Cockney rhyming slang.

We’re kicking off Aug-Heist in a spirit of the Paris Olympics with a French Netflix heist comedy. When two expert thieves and best friends look to retire from a life of crime, they must pull off one last job to buy their way out. The film was directed by Mélanie Laurent, with Adèle Exarchopoulos and Manon Bresch co-starring. Released in 2023 on Netflix, this French-language film was based on a popular graphic novel. But do these feisty heroines steal their way into our hearts, or does this film deserve a last-place finish?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

The follow-up to 2021’s Ghostbusters: Afterlife, this film sees ghostbusting make its triumphant return to the Big Apple and the iconic firehouse.

After our Shoresy side-quest, we’re back on track and hopping the next train to Transylvania! Rum Daddy’s birthday pick pic is none other than Mel Brooks and Gene Wilder’s classic 1974 send-up of the movie versions of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s classic novel. Starring Wilder, Marty Feldman, Teri Garr, Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, and Peter Boyle as The Monster, the spoof centers on a modern descendant of the infamous Dr. Victor Frankenstein, a Dr. Frederick Frankensteen, who inherits his grandfather’s estate and title and decides to take up the family business. Curiously missing from streaming nowadays, the film was a major hit when it debuted and is ranked among the best comedies of all time.

This week we’re hitting the back half of Season 2 with the episodes “Players Only,” “The Man Advantage,” and “Accountability.” The Bulldogs are on their way to a perfect season with only two games remaining, but with distractions all around, will they be able to focus up and become the best team in the league, ever? First Shoresy has to help the Jims find a fourth man for their trivia team, then help Frankie keep his head in the game after being dumped (again), then deal with the debt the team owes to the Policetti brothers, and then deal with the NOSHO commissioners after getting suspended. Shoresy has his work cut out for him, but there’s something real shiny waiting for him at the end of it. Sixty hard miles to go!

This week we’re talking about the first three episodes of season 2: “Get ‘Em Focused,” “Skill vs. Will,” and “Set the Tone.” The Bulldogs have played a perfect season, but success has led to distractions off the ice. Simply put, the boys are wearing themselves out with the ladies. Shoresy must work even harder to keep the team at the top, but the Jims aren’t themselves and Michaels is acting weird. But then again, goalies are always weird. Things take a turn when the American expansion team, the Soo Hunt, show up in town. Can the Bulldogs stay on top, or will it all come crashing down?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In 1977, director George Roy Hill re-teamed with actor Paul Newman - the pair had previously collaborated on Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and The Sting, two of the biggest movies of the past decade - for an oddball sports comedy about a little-known sport: ice hockey. Written by Nancy Dowd and inspired by her brother Ned’s time playing for the minor-league Johnstown Jets of the oft-flooded steeltown Johnstown, Pennsylvania, the film was originally envisioned as a documentary before Hill pitched it as a comedy. To make the film many real-life players took on roles, including Ned as the dreaded “Ogie” Ogilthorpe. While the film didn’t take home the Cup at the box office, it has gone on to be widely regarded as one of the best sports movies of all time.

Sorry about the Audio- Beef and Rum Daddy had issues :/  Following the release of The Matrix in 1999, Hollywood saw an explosion of martial arts-focused action movies. Riding that wave was Chinese actor Jet Li, who made his first American-made film debut in Lethal Weapon 4 and went on to star in Kiss of the Dragon, Romeo Must Die and this dimension-hopping cop movie. Starring as both the hero and villain - the last two variants who have absorbed the energy from their murdered counterparts - Li faces off against himself with Jason Statham, Delroy Lindo, and Carla Gugino rounding out the cast. The film also tapped into a modern rock sound with Disturbed, Drowning Pool, Godsmack, and Papa Roach. Directed by James Wong and co-written by Wong with Glen Morgan, the film was neither a box office nor critical hit. While it may be the best of the Matrix variants in this universe, in the end there can be only The One!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Nothing says summer like a road trip movie, so we're setting off for California in this 1986 cult thriller. Things get interesting in West Texas when a young man picks up a mysterious hitchhiker who turns out to be an insane serial killer. Starring Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, and Jennifer Jason Leigh, this flick has more twists than a mountain road, but it lacked one thing when it premiered: an audience. Yes, it grossed even less than its $7.9 million dollar budget, but yet somehow it earned a sequel in 2003 and a remake in 2007. While both Siskel and Ebert gave this ride a “thumbs down,” director Christopher Nolan has called it one of his guilty pleasures. But is this movie more road war or road bore? We're sticking out our thumbs in hopes of catching a lift with The Hitcher!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

To commemorate the 70th anniversary of the first Godzilla film, Japanese movie studio Toho unleashed a new installment in its historic franchise last year. Set in Japan in the days following World War II, the film serves a prequel of sorts to the 1954 film, introducing a smaller - yet still destructive - version of the kaiju. Led by a dishonored kamikaze pilot, a group of Japanese veterans and ordinary citizens must stand up to Godzilla when the government fails to act. Written and directed by Takashi Yamazaki, the film bit off $115 million at the global box office, snagged an Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, and received near-universal acclaim. It’s the final countdown to Godzilla Minus One!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

We’re rewinding the clock to 2020 with a release of our review (repeating from Legends 246) of Mad Max: Fury Road, the sequel to the recently released Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga film. Believe it or not, we were just starting to hear rumblings of a long-promised Furiosa prequel in development four years ago. But does this mayhem-and-motor oil pyro-technical knock-out still have enough guzzoline in the tank to go the distance? And what was our news segment like in Spring 2020? (Probably not great!)

So Spider-less It was held an extra week... Beef is sorry.... From the studio that brought us Venom and Morbius comes the latest attempt by Sony to make a Spider-Man movie without Spider-Man in it! When Cassandra Webb’s mother is bitten by a magic spider, she grows up with the power to see the future. But even she couldn’t predict that this movie would be crowned the worst of the year. Starring Dakota Johnson, with Sydney Sweeney, Isabella Merced, Celeste O’Connor, Tahar Rahim, and Adam Scott, the S. J. Clarkson film wove a string of bad reviews into a spindly $100 million at the box office. One reviewer called it “the death of the superhero genre, the burning of the superhero genre to the ground and then the returning in the middle of the night to piss on the superhero genre’s ashes.” Gee, I wonder how he really felt!

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On burst onto the internet stage in 2010 with a three minute YouTube video. In three short videos, the world fell in love with the tiny, soft-spoken, introspective mollusc as he showed us his everyday life in a human-sized home. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and voiced by actress Jenny Slate, Marcel’s adventures jumped to the big screen in 2021 with a feature length film. While audiences didn't exactly “shell”out the big bucks to see it, the movie was critically adored, earning a near-perfect 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Now we're renting an AirBnB to see what all the fuss is about!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Putting a new spin on the traditional coming-of-age teen movie, director Emma Seligman mashes up The Breakfast Club with Fight Club for an action-packed, surreal romp through high school. Starring Rachel Sennot and Ayo Edebiri as two lesbians who start a “self-defense” club to get girls, this 2023 film explores the life of the “untalented gays” at Rockbridge Falls High School as they deal with football players, crushes, and the murderous Huntington Golden Ferrets. The film didn't exactly kick butt at the box office, but it was a critical success, with one reviewer calling it the “horniest, bloodiest high school movie of the 21st century.” Now we're taking it from the top with Bottoms!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Thirty years ago, Dean Devlin and Roland Emmerich launched a franchise with this blockbuster movie starring Kurt Russell and James Spader - though maybe not in the way they expected. When an Egyptologist decodes the symbols on an ancient artifact, the U.S. military opens a portal through the stars leading to another galaxy. On the distant world, they must lead a rebellion against the sun god Ra to find a way back home. This sci-fi epic from the Independence Day duo was mostly panned when it came out, and despite decent earning at the box office, it wasn’t a big enough hit for MGM to warrant a direct sequel. However, a few years later, a TV continuation appeared on Showtime, where it ran for four seasons before moving to the Sci-Fi Channel. In all, Stargate: SG-1 ran for ten seasons, with multiple spinoff series and TV movies produced. Now, we’re stepping across the threshold of the universe with Stargate!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In honor of Disney’s Gargoyles 30th Anniversary - and Lobster’s recent panel at ITHACON - we’re watching the four-part “City of Stone” saga from the classic Disney Afternoon series.

Meanwhile, the nature of Demona and Macbeth’s relationship is revealed via flashbacks to medieval Scotland. Incorporating fantasy, sci-fi, mythology, and Shakespeare, Gargoyles ran for 78 episodes, boasted a Marvel Comics tie-in, a video game, and toys.

We're heading back to Rebel Moon for Part 2! After Part One - A Child of Fire lit up Netflix screens in December of last year, we had to wait four months for the second half of Zack Snyder’s Seven Samurai in Space. Now, it’s here, and it is indeed a movie that we have seen. But was it worth the wait or was it better off left to our imagination? And how does it compare to that other Part 2 of a sci-fi epic that we got this year, Dune? We’re heading to the Netlix app and clicking “play” on Rebel Moon: Part 2 - The Scargiver to find out!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

*** Sorry for this being released again, and out of order. The original got deleted somehow... sorry again*** Patrick Swayze’s career hit its peak in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, cementing his status as a Hollywood hearthrob. In the span of five years from 1987 to 1991, he starred in megahits Dirty Dancing, Ghost, Point Break, and this 1989 movie about a bouncer hired to clean up a rowdy honkytonk. Co-starring Kelly Lynch, Sam Elliot, Ben Gazzara and Kevin Tighe, the film was an instant Eighties classic despite not lighting up the box office and earning mostly-negative reviews at time of release. Roger Ebert wrote, “This is not a good movie. But viewed in the right frame of mind, it is not a boring one, either.” While it only grossed about $60 million at the box office, estimates on VHS, DVD, and Blu-ray sales and cable/streaming licenses total north of $200 million. The film also earned a remake this year - which we’ll be talking about next week! We’re pulling up to the bar - and breaking it - with Road House!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're on the road (house) again with the remake! Swapping the Kansas City suburbs for the Florida Keys, this Amazon MGM release - exclusively on the Prime Video streaming platform - trades Patrick Swayze for Jake Gyllenhaal as the man named Dalton who gets hired to clean up a rowdy bar. Produced once again by Joel Silver, this time around The Bourne Identity and Edge of Tomorrow director Doug Liman is behind the camera, while Daniela Melchoir, Jessica Williams, Billy Magnussen, and Conor McGregor round out the cast. Amazon claims the remake has been seen by over 50 million worldwide viewers on the service over its first two weekends, making it the studio's “most-watched produced film debut ever on a worldwide basis.” But is this Road House a tired retread or does it hold the keys to a new franchise?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Bruce Willis was at the height of his career in the early ‘90s, with Die Hard and Die Hard 2: Die Harder securing his spot in the action movie pantheon. However, a 1991 release threatened to derail this trajectory. The flop in question concerns a recently-paroled cat burglar who is swept up in an international conspiracy to steal the pieces of a gold-producing alchemy machine invented by Leonardo Da Vinci, a plot involving the mob, the CIA, two psychotic yuppies, and the Vatican! And Willis himself helped come up with the story! The film, chock full of absurdist humor, was marketed as an action flick on Willis’s Die Hard reputation, but audiences - and critics - weren’t having it. Peter Travers of Rolling Stone said, “A movie this unspeakably awful can make an audience a little crazy. You want to throw things, yell at the actors, beg them to stop.” Despite earning a Razzie for Worst Film of the Year, the caper has attained something of a cult status based on frequent cable re-airings. Now we’re feeling the wind beneath our wings to talk about Hudson Hawk!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

This 2022 film, from the directing duo known as Daniels - Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert - tells the story of a middle-age laundromat owner who taps into the multiverse in order to repair her relationships with her family. The mind-mending flick was Everywhere during awards season last year, taking home two Golden Globes, four Critics Choice awards, and a BAFTA. The film won almost Everything it was nominated for at the Oscars with seven wins, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Film Editing. And the pic swept the four major guild awards - DGA, PGA, SAG, and WGA - All at Once.

In 1974, Roman Polanski (now a fugitive, convicted sex criminal) directed a script from Robert Towne for a film produced by Robert Evans. Set against the backdrop of Los Angeles in the 1930s, this neo-noir mystery explores wealth, power, and water in a city that is always thirsty for more of all three. Starring Jack Nicholson as private detective J.J. “Jake” Gittes, the film also features Faye Dunaway, John Huston, and Diane Ladd. Nominated for 11 Academy Awards, it won Best Screenplay and is widely considered one of the best films ever made, with the The Guardian naming it Number One in 2010. Now, fifty years since its release - and over a decade since Lobster talked about it on his first-ever movie podcast - we realize we just can’t forget about Chinatown.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s self-published comic, the absurdly-titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hit shelves 40 years ago. Since then, it's been a Saturday morning cartoon (or three), two live-action movie franchises, a toy aisle staple, and a dubious rock-n-roll stage show. The latest animated iteration, from Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, and Mitchells vs. The Machines director Jeff Rowe, updates the Heroes in a Halfshell for Gen Z, with actual teenagers voicing the turtles! The film also includes an all-star cast, with Ayo Edebiri, Ice Cube, Jackie Chan, and introducing Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko. The film was a hit, with a TV show and sequel film on the way. But does the film live up to the franchise’s high points, or is it a case of turt-little, turt-late?

Legends has reached that fateful number - Six Hundred Sixty-Six - and we’re celebrating with an appropriately devilish movie. After his wife delivers a stillborn baby, an American diplomat adopts an orphan. Then, a series of mysterious circumstances lead him to suspect the boy may be the Antichrist. Starting Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, and Harvey Stephens as Damien, directed by Richard Donner, the 1976 film was a box office hit that spawned multiple sequels and a TV series. More recently, a direct remake of the first film was released in 2006 and a TV series, Damien, aired in 2016. We’re going back to the film that started it all, as it was foretold. But does The Omen give the Devil his due, or has it gone to the dogs?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Football season may be over, but we’re going into overtime with an ESPN documentary from the 30 for 30 series. From 1990 to 1993, the Buffalo Bills ascended to the heights of NFL greatness, winning four consecutive AFC Championships. With a locker room filled with big personalities, including future Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed, led by legendary coach Marv Levy, the Bills are not remembered for punching their ticket to the Big Game four years in a row. No, they’re remembered for losing. All. Four. Narrated by actor and Bills fan Willaim Fichtner, the doc ties into Lobster and Beef’s childhood memories and Rum Daddy’s early editing career. But thirty years after the Buffalo Bills’ last trip to the Super Bowl, is Four Falls of Buffalo worth falling for or does it fumble at the one-yard line?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're doing the other half of Barbenheimer with Christopher Nolan’s biopic about the head scientist behind the Manhattan Project! Starring Cillian Murphy as the titular physicist, the film features an all-star cast including Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. The first film Nolan released with a studio other than Warner Brothers, bringing in $959.9 million for Universal. Oppenheimer has already won multiple awards, but at 3 hours long, is it a weapon of mass destruction or a masterpiece?

Happy Valentimes! Legends Podcast is getting in the mood with a classic rom-com from 2009. Starring Sandra Bullock (2009’s The Blind Side) and Ryan Reynolds (2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as a publishing exec and her assistant who try to pull off a Green Card marriage, the film was a hit that grossed over $300 million at the box office. Helmed by Anne Fletcher, the director of 27 Dresses, and co-starring Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, and Craig T. Nelson, the film’s rom-com pedigree seems unimpeachable, but does it hold up to today's scrutiny at 15?

Emerald Fennell played Midge in Barbie last week, but she is the director of this week's movie. When an Oxford scholarship student befriends the son of a wealthy family, their summer holiday is filled with sex, lies, and bathtub shenanigans. Starring Barry Keough, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and introducing Alison Oliver, the film had a limited theatrical run before becoming one of Amazon Prime’s most-streamed movies. However, the film did not receive a single nod at the recently-annunced Academy Awards nominations. Now we’re flashing back to the summer of 2007 to check out Saltburn!

The cinematic cultural phenomenon known only as Barbenheimer roller-bladed into theaters last summer with the force of an atomic explosion. The double-feature from those ingenues of cinema verite, Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, promised to be the box office event of the summer, along with all the meme culture meets pop culture cachet that came with it. While both films performed well, the former won the battle, with the long-gestating film based on Mattel’s bestselling doll bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023. With Margot Robbie in the title role leading an all-star cast, including Ryan Gosling as Ken, the pink-drenched flick’s production department caused a national paint shortage of its signature hue. Now we’re just three hosts living in a Barbie world, having an existential crisis, thinking about dying and looking fabulous while doing it!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Director Zach Snyder signed on to make a Star Wars movie back in 2012, shortly after the franchise was purchased by Disney. When that film never materialized, Snyder redeveloped the project for Netflix in the shape of Rebel Moon, a sci-fi epic about an evil empire determined to crush an uprising on a distant colony. Part one of two-part opening debuted late last month, quickly becoming the top film on the streamer despite negative reviews. Part Two debuts in April with an R-rated director’s cut on the way. Snyder has stated plans for the IP to expand into other media, including games, comics, and animation. Now we’re heading to somewhere that might just be a galaxy far, far away for Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire!      For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We’re kicking off 2024 with an absolute banger from last year: the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Where the first film introduced us to Miles, Gwen, Peter B., and taught us that anyone can wear the mask, the new film blows the dimensional barrier wide open and calls in the Spider Society, a league of extraordinary arachnids with the mission to protect the multiverse. With stunning visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and more… well, more everything than the first one, the film seems primed to score a repeat win for Best Animated Feature of the Year. But somehow audiences were disappointed that it only tells half the story.  Alright, people, let’s do this one last time!   Check out our Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse live commentary episode: https://legendspodcast.libsyn.com/legends-podcast-bonus-spider-man-into-the-spider-verse-commentary    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
