Scott Pilgrim vs. The World is a great example of a story that works on paper (as a graphic novel by Bryan Lee O'Malley, specifically) but could never work on the big screen. Not unless Edgar Wright directed it, that is. But since it flopped at the box office ten years ago, has this meta mash-up leveled up in the past decade?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTune...

Alejandro Iñárritu won back-to-back Best Director Oscars for his 2014 and 2015 films Birdman and The Revenant. While both films were technically complex, both were box office hits, and both films won Oscars for their lead actors and for cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, only Birdman won the Oscar for Best Picture.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Le...

Twenty years ago this week, Marvel Comics' mutant heroes hit the big screen in the first blockbuster comic book movie of the modern era. X-Men set the tone for twenty years of comic book movies and gave Kevin Feige his first job producing a Marvel film. Two decades and twelve movies later, we look back at the first time we all saw Hugh Jackman with his shirt off. For more geeky podcasts visit Gonn...

The ninth film by Quentin Tarantino, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, is a meditation on the Hollywood machine. It's also a very un-Tarantino-esque film - you'll notice that we just used the word "meditation" to describe it.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

The coronavirus quarantine has been a boon to streaming, but our favorite film of the lockdown is a low-budget, retro, Twilight Zone-esque meditation on the power of storytelling in film.

Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster, was described by Jordan Peele as "the most idyllic horror film of all time." But is this overstuffed feast of a horror flick as inscrutable as a set of IKEA instructions?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Uncut Gems dug up $50 million at the box office and scored heaps of praise for Adam Sandler, but is it a diamond in the rough of the SNL alum's career? Or, like a great-looking but fake Rolex, is this film just a knock-off of a better movie?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

David Lynch's Dune was an adaptation of the world's best-selling science fiction novel, an incredibly ambitious production, and a colossal failure at the box office.

Director Jon Favreau followed up his Iron Man films with this high-concept flop. But with the alien-populated western motifs of The Mandalorian in mind, does this movie overcome its MST3K-ready premise?    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

It's 4/20 of 4/2020. You knew we had to do a weed movie, right?   Kevin Smith holds a special place in the heart of movie geeks. He's a divisive figure, sure, just as often on the wrong side of a controversy as on the right side of it. And his fans will probably attack me for saying that he was ever wrong. But he's proven that he's capable of admitting that he was wrong, learning from it, and comi...
