    Legends Podcast #789: Miracle Mile (1988)

    This week, we're visiting L.A. for a 1988 film that takes place almost entirely in one night, in one neighborhood, along Wilshire Boulevard. When a jazz trombonist meets a diner waitress at a museum, sparks fly - up until he gets a phone call telling him the end is nigh! With nukes about to fall, he will risk it all to get the girl and get out alive! Starring Brat Pack-adjacent faces Anthony Edwards and Mare Winningham (who got hitched in real life in 2021!) along with a cast of cameos, this apocalyptic romance features a synth-drenched score by Tangerine Dream and on-location shooting for immersive effect. Written by Steve De Jarnatt just out of film school in 1978, the script went unproduced for a decade and was almost the basis for 1983's Twilight Zone: The Movie. De Jarnatt ended up buying the rights back to direct it himself. The gamble didn't quite pay off - the late '80s Cold War thaw also chilled audience demand for nuclear thrillers - and the film ended up bombing at the box office. Still, it lives on as a cult classic, and Listener Chris selected it for us this week. And, miraculously, Chris joins us live to defend his pick, Miracle Mile!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #788: Murder By Death (1976)

    This week, we're wrapping up our great "Mash-Up" picks with a film that combines mystery and comedy by parodying some of the greatest mysteries of our time. Released in 1976 from a script by the great playwright Neil Simon, this "whodunnit?" stars a veritable "who's who?" of screen royalty, including Peter Sellers, David Niven, Maggie Smith, James Coco, Peter Falk, Eileen Brennan, Elsa Lanchester, Truman Capote, Nancy Walker, James Cromwell, and Alec Guinness. When a group of guests are invited to a remote country mansion, they are challenged to solve an impossible crime… and to the discerning viewer, the guests seem awfully familiar: they're send-ups of some of the greatest detectives ever to grace page and screen, including Charlie Chan, Nick and Nora Charles, Miss Marple, Hercule Poirot, and Sam Spade. But does literary pedigree plus clever casting equal comedy gold? Join us as we review the obviously titled Murder by Death!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #787: The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover (1989)

    This week, we're eating out with a 1989 cult film from director, writer, and visual artist Peter Greenaway. The film centers on a cook, Richard, played by Richard Bohringer; a thief, mobster Albert, played by Michael Gambon; his wife, Georgina, played by Helen Mirren; and her lover, Michael, played by Alan Howard. Through a series of dinners at Richard's fancy London restaurant, Le Hollandais, which Albert owns, the lavish meals devolve into debauchery, while Georgina and Michael's affair evolves into a plot of lust, murder, and revenge. Filmed on massive, color-coded sets and featuring costumes by Jean-Paul Gaultier and food by Italian chef Giorgio Locatelli, this crime-drama art film was released unrated by the MPAA for nudity and violence. Despite a limited run and current unavailability, the film has earned critical acclaim over the decades, as its indulgent brutality and formalist cinematography appear timeless. Join us as we chew on The Cook, The Thief, His Wife, and Her Lover, and do our best to swallow.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #786: The Fantastic Four: First Steps (2025)

    We're celebrating summer by heading to the drive-in! Over the next two weeks, we're bringing you a double bill of blockbuster movies from last summer. Maybe you saw them, maybe you missed them, but we think you'll enjoy Last Summer's Drive-In Movie Double Feature! Hit the restroom, refill your popcorn, and settle in for a late night… our second feature is starting now! Marvel's first family has had a long and sometimes tortured cinematic history. After several Saturday morning cartoons, they almost made their first big-screen outing in 1994 in a low-budget production from B-movie master Roger Corman. However, the film was buried by Marvel producer Avi Arad and is only available on bootleg. They finally hit the silver screen in 2005 with a big-budget film, which was successful enough to earn a sequel in 2007. A reboot, Fant4stic, was released in 2015 to poor reviews and box office results. With Disney's purchase of 20th Century Fox, the stars of the World's Greatest Comic Magazine were finally folded into the Marvel Cinematic Universe with the release of this 2025 film, colon First Steps. Starring Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as The Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bacharach as the ever-lovin' blue-eyed Thing, this fantastic flick was the first film in MCU Phase Six of the Multiverse Saga and the first MCU installment set entirely in another universe. The Matt Shakman-directed film received solid reviews and outperformed the other two Marvel films released last year. Join us as we bring our drive-in movie viewing to a close with The Fantastic Four: First Steps!   BONUS- POWER PACKED EPISODE..  Plus, we give our review of Supergirl!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #785: Superman (2025)

    We're celebrating summer by heading to the drive-in! Over the next two weeks, we're bringing you a double bill of blockbuster movies from last summer. Maybe you saw them, maybe you missed them, but we think you'll enjoy Last Summer's Drive-In Movie Double Feature! Grab a corndog, tune in your radio, or hang that weird staticky speaker in your window… our first feature is starting now! In 2022, after Discovery, Inc. and WarnerMedia merged to become Warner Bros. Discovery, CEO David Zaslav hired director James Gunn and producer Peter Safran to lead the newly-formed DC Studios, rebooting the divisive and ultimately financially unsuccessful DC Extended Universe, the so-called Snyderverse, into what is simply known as the DC Universe. The first official film in the new DCU slate, called "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," (nod to last week) was a soft-reboot of the universe focusing on the same character Zach Snyder used in 2013 to start his universe: the Man of Steel himself, the Last Son of Krypton, Superman. With the vibe of "we now join the program already in progress," this overstuffed actioner sees David Corenswet don the tights as Kal-El / Clark Kent, Nicholas Hoult shave his head as Lex Luthor, and Rachel Broshnan step behind the keyboard as intrepid reporter Lois Lane. Oh, and there's about a bajillion other people in this movie (plus one cute CGI dog and some robots) because let's just throw the spaghetti at the wall and see what sticks. Imagine the pastabilities! Earth's yellow sun was shining, however, as the film scored the tenth highest-grossing release of 2025, was the highest-grossing superhero film of that year, and was the first DC-based film to surpass all Marvel films released within a single year since The Dark Knight in 2008 - when the first Iron Man hit screens. But with this film's spin-off/follow-up already in theaters and a sequel in production, is Superman still bulletproof or has this pocket universe already met its Kryptonite?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #784: Gods and Monsters (1998)

    Director James Whale brought Mary Shelley's Frankenstein to the big screen in 1931, and followed it up with classics like The Invisible Man, The Old Dark House, and Bride of Frankenstein. Throughout his Hollywood career, Whale lived as an openly gay man, something quite rare in the '20s and '30s. Along with his horror pictures, Whale directed Remember Last Night?, Show Boat, and The Man in the Iron Mask before retiring from filmmaking in 1942. One of his last major pictures, The Road Back, a sequel to the Great War movie All Quiet on the Western Front, was the victim of studio interference - and Nazi German influence - which contributed to Whale's decision to leave Hollywood. His sexuality, according to contemporaries, was well-known, but "nobody made a thing out of it." However, Whale's later life was marred by health problems leading up to his suicide in 1957 at age 67. Christopher Bram's 1995 novel, Father of Frankenstein, explored what his last days could have been like, with filmmaker Bill Condon penning and directing a 1998 adaptation starring Ian McKellen, Brendan Fraser, and Lynn Redgrave. Condon's script won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and McKellen and Redgrave were both nominated, but the film failed to attract lightning at the box office. Now, as we wrap up our mini-Pride Month film festival, we welcome a new world with Gods and Monsters!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

    Legends Podcast #783: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar (1995)

    This week, we're celebrating Pride with the movie that brought the drag queen road trip genre to America! Hot on the high heels of The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert from 1994 Australia comes this 1995 American release starring Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo. When their car breaks down in small-town Nebraska, three drag queens must win the hearts and minds of the local townsfolk while evading a bigoted sheriff. With supporting turns by Stockard Channing, Blythe Danner, Chris Penn, Arliss Howard, and cameos by RuPaul, Naomi Campbell, Robin Williams, and the titular statuesque actress herself, the film opened at number one at the box office and is considered groundbreaking for being the first mainstream Hollywood production to depict drag queens. Along with RuPaul's popularity, the 1990 documentary Paris is Burning, and the aforementioned Priscila, interest in drag drove audiences to the cinema. Critics, however, were less enthused, but Swayze and Leguizamo were both nominated for Golden Globes, and the film has, of course, endured as an icon of queer cinema. Now the four of us are piling into a yellow convertible 1967 Cadillac DeVille with an autographed copy of the improbably titled To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar to see what in gay hell is going on!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

    Legends Podcast #782: Spaceballs (1987)

    This week, we're spending time with Melvin James Kaminsky, better known to the universe as comedy icon and director Mel Brooks! After lampooning westerns, monster movies, and world history, Brooks turned his signature sense of humor to the cinematic sci-fi outings of Star Wars, Alien, 2001, and Planet of the Apes. With an all-star cast including Rick Moranis, John Candy, Joan Rivers, Bill Pullman, and Daphne Zuniga, the film was born from a gentleman's agreement between Brooks and Star Wars creator George Lucas. In return for certain concessions (rule number one: no merchandising) from Brooks, Lucas agreed to handle some of the more technical aspects of the film through his special effects company, Industrial Light & Magic. The result was a cult hit, almost as beloved as the properties it parodies. With a long-promised sequel finally on the way in 2027 (colon The New One, not colon The Search for More Money), we're visiting a galaxy very, very, very, very far away to see if the Schwartz is still with Spaceballs!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
