Special guest Sean O'Hara joins Legends Podcast to take a memory dump on TRON: Legacy.

Disney owned the box office in 2019, but hasn't always produced winners. Animated feature films have always been their signature product, but one film from the Dark Ages nearly put them out of business. We kick off our month of crappy movies by taking a dump in The Black Cauldron! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Twenty years ago, American cinemas were rocked by one of the best overall years in movie history. Legends Podcast has celebrated the Legends of '99 all year long, and now we're wrapping up with our most favorite films of the year.   First up, it's Beef's pick, and it's perhaps the weirdest film in the Class of '99, which is really saying something. Written by Charlie Kaufman and directed by Three...

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and compliance.   In the summer of 1982, director Stephen Spielberg's E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial rocketed to the top of the box office and surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time. The film was aimed squarely at kids, starring a youngster and his likeable alien friend, wi...

During his prolific career, author Michael Crichton brought dinosaurs back to life, explored a jungle ruled by evil gorillas, terrorized us with a virus from outer space, and proved that footnotes and dense technical descriptions could have a place in bestselling novels. Most importantly, his works were tailor-made for the movies, with seven of his books getting the big-screen treatment in the '90...

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and being excellent to each other. Time travel is extremely complicated, rife with unintended consequences. You could accidentally erase yourself from existence or change the course of all of history. Or you could, you know, kidnap half a dozen historical figures just to get a passing grade in high...

The Terminator franchise can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever... until you are dead! This past weekend's release of Terminator: Dark Fate proved that statement definitively as the film became the third attempt to restart the franchise in only a decade. But will the fact that Fate delivered less than $30...

Daylight savings threw beef off, he thought it was sent time back a full week... not clocks back an hour.. his bad! your final Legends of Halloween for 2019   Director Robert Eggers made a name for himself with the 2015 release of his debut film, The Witch. Stylized as The VVitch, the film, set in colonial New England with all its "thees" and "thous," established Eggers's bonafides as an auteur wi...

Thanksgiving is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, watch football, and be grateful. And what podcast wouldn't be grateful to have listeners who request films for us to watch and rate? Films like 2009's ThanksKilling, a direct-to-video horror-comedy flick so absurd that no studio would touch it. And by no studio, we mean that literally: the filmmakers made it for $3,500 and sold...

The second-highest grossing release of 1999, sitting at $672.8 million worldwide, was M. Night Shyamalan's supernatural horror drama film The Sixth Sense, starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. The film spent five weeks at number one in the U.S. box office, was nominated for six Academy Awards, and introduced the phrase "I see dead people" into the pop culture lexicon. The film's final twist...

Based on the equally divisive novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film American Psycho has been polarizing audiences since it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival nearly two decades ago. Set in the late '80s, released in the year 2000, and now seen as a cult classic, the horror-comedy put Christian Bale on the map - and also spawned an '80s pop-infused musical. In the words of director Mary Harron,...

One of 1999's breakout success stories was a found-footage horror movie, a student documentary, a Sundance darling, an elaborate hoax, a sleeper hit, one of the most successful independent films of all time, and a viral marketing experiment that resulted in the film's three stars being listed as "missing, presumed dead" on the website IMDb for over a year. The Blair Witch Project, a long-gestating...

Quentin Tarantino's films seem to excite and divide audiences with equal fervor. His 2009 World War II masterpiece, Inglourious Basterds, was met with approval, but not universal acclaim. The film's breakout star, Christoph Waltz, won an Academy Award for his role as SS colonel Hans Landa, but Basterds lost out in the Best Picture race to another war movie, The Hurt Locker. Dealing as it does with...

This week, we're checking ourselves in for some therapy with Analyze This. Harold Ramis paired Robert DeNiro and Billy Crystal for a gangland comedy that parodied films like The Godfather and A Bronx Tale and was co-written by esteemed playwright Kennth Lonergan. Before he fully embraced his comedic side with his role in Meet the Parents, DeNiro played to type with his role of an emotionally distr...

American director Robert Altman's career spanned forty years, and included critical and commercial successes like M*A*S*H, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Long Goodbye, and Nashville. Altman's films often featured large ensemble casts, improvisational dialogue, and social commentary - all of which are on full display in 2001's Gosford Park. Based on an idea of an Agatha Christie-style whodunit set at...
