From the movie studio that brought you Frozen a year later, which probably made you forget this movie existed, comes a tale of a video game villain in search of a higher calling. Combining funky animation with character cameos from across the arcade spectrum, Wreck-It Ralph established the template for overstuffed nostalgia-laden films like The Lego Movie and Ready Player One, not to mention the f...

This week, we're skipping the movie and devoting an entire episode to running down all the news, trailers, panels, celebrity sightings, cosplay, and sweet, sweet swag from San Diego Comic Con. We're joined by the man who was there, Wil AKA Rum Daddy, from the GonnaGeek Network's own erstwhile Flash podcast Crimson Comet. Plus we discuss the weekend's sequel driven box office and react to Disney's...

In the distant future, a man wakes up in a pod after a thousand years of suspended animation and encounters bug-eyed mutants and a world he doesn't recognize. Bad news, everyone! We're not talking about Futurama. We're discussing the 2009 film Pandorum. Starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster, this sci-fi/horror flop found a cult following online, but does the film deserve to make it to the new world...

Twenty-five years ago, an amazing entertainment spectacle showcased a radical new technology that brought extinct creatures to life and captured the imagination of the entire world. The fact that it happened to be a movie about an entertainment spectacle that showcased a radical new technology bringing extinct creatures to life was purely coincidental. Unlike the titular amusement park, the movie...

  Legends Podcast makes a detour to the Western Coast of Australia for a wannabe Tarantino flick from director Kriv Stenders! Co-starring Westworld's Luke Hemsworth (brother of Thor), Kill Me Three Times also brings us Simon Pegg as a sardonic hit man in a layered tale of betrayal and revenge. The movie has more twists than you could shake a didgeridoo at, but is Kill Me Three Times worth watching...

A mere five months after Star Wars: The Last Jedi divided fans with its treatment of beloved characters, Lucasfilm goes back to the well of the franchise's mythos for another anthology piece, this time focusing on a young Han Solo. Although Solo: A Star Wars Story's opening was a box office disappointment, early reviews and fan reaction were positive. Now Legends Podcast is wading into the fracas,...

With Solo: A Star Wars Story hitting the big screen, Legends Podcast takes a look back at another swashbuckling band of spacefaring misfits: the crew of Serenity from Joss Whedon's Firefly. We think Mal and company could sit comfortably beside Han, Chewie, and Lando, so we've picked out a pair of episodes from Firefly's first and only season, "The Train Job" and "Our Mrs. Reynolds," which we think...

After eviscerating Valentine's Day box office records, the Merc with a Mouth is at it again, this time setting his sights on Summer Movie Season. Deadpool 2, which adds Josh Brolin's Cable and a fanny pack full of fresh faces, hopes to re-write history with a super-duper effing team movie. Will the one-time Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds be able to build a marketable franchise around an R-rating up a...

Legends Podcast takes a detour from blockbuster to Blumhouse with 2017's surprisingly successful debut film from writer/director Jordan Peele. In making the transition from TV sketch comedy to horror, Peele put a terrifying spin on the classic "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?" set-up. Get Out earned a massive $250 million on a four-and-a-half million dollar budget and garnered multiple awards and no...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe spent 18 films building to an epic showdown with Thanos, the Mad Titan. Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of ten years' worth of storytelling, featuring dozens of characters, various locations across the cosmos, and stakes high enough to bring together Earth's Mightiest Heroes, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Master of the Mystic Arts, and your friendly neigh...

In 2007, one movie brought together Scarecrow, Captain America, Captain Phillipa Georgiou, Moira MacTaggart, Wong, the dad from Fear the Walking Dead, and Sinestro. That movie was written by the man who would create Ex Machina and directed by the man who will direct the 25th James Bond installment. That movie was Sunshine, and it was a box office flop. But just over a decade later, the legacy of t...

There was an idea… to bring together a group of Marvel's B-List superheroes to see if they could become something more than just a bunch of characters we still had the rights to. To see if they could work together when we needed them to fight the box office battles that the X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four never could. To see if a throwaway gag in a post-credits scene could actually becom...

Meow is the time for Legends Podcast to celebrate one of the most successful independent comedies of the mew millenium! Meow the year was 2001, and one movie hit it big at Sundance and won the audience award at South by South West. That movie was Super Troopers, meow, and it featured the Broken Lizard comedy troupe meowt of Colgate University. Meow these friends would go on to make other mewvies,...

Greetings, sled god! Legends Podcast breaks out the cold-weather gear for Cool Runnings, 25 years later - and about two months late for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Cool Runnings tells the true-ish story of the first Jamaican bobsled team to compete in the sliding sport at the 1988 Games and begs the question: can Disney make a movie set in Jamaica without including a single pot joke? Feel the rhythm...

Two podcasts, coming together, facing each other! Legends Podcast joins forces with Arthouse Legends to celebrate their 200th episode. This week, we're journeying to an age undreamed of for John Milius's sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian. Ripped from the pages of Robert E. Howard's classic fantasy and starring Arnold Schwarzenegger in his breakout role, this film left critics audiences di...

Legends Podcast journeys to the distant future - the year 2025 - to a world where mankind's leaders have realized the folly of building a giant wall to keep out undesirables. Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro brings this anime-inspired world of mechas and kaijus to life in Pacific Rim - a film that begs the question - what if they actually made a good Transformers movie?   Spoiler...

In a rare turn of events, Legends Podcast tackles a television show. We're talking about the science-fiction-gone-horribly-wrong anthology series from the twisted mind of Charlie Booker. Originally on Channel 4 in the UK, Netflix picked up the show because of course they did. They play for keeps. To facilitate our discussion, we've made up a little game of our own. The rules are simple. Each host...
