The best apocalypse movie of the year 2012 was actually a straight horror movie - that wasn't what it looked like. Join us as Legends of Halloween...

In 2010, director Ridley Scott tried his hand at a re-telling of the story of the outlaw of Sherwood Forest with the appropriately-if-unimaginatively titled Robin Hood.    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

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.

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.

Midsommar, directed by Ari Aster, was described by Jordan Peele as "the most idyllic horror film of all time."

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?

Director Jon Favreau followed up his Iron Man films with this high-concept flop.
