Break A Legacy is a podcast devoted to movies and their legacy sequels. Each episode, Karl and Russ break down two movies in the same franchise that are at least 10 years apart to determine what works, what absolutely does not, and if the sequel honors the original... or just greedily raids the fridge. Expect bold opinions, enthusiastic rants, random tangents, and (occasionally) decent insight into the films you love, and love to hate. Buy us a coffee! https://buymeacoffee.com/breakalegacy

    006: Basic Instinct & Basic Instinct 2

    Quick - what's the first thing you think of when you hear the two words "Basic Instinct"? If you said "Wayne Knight sweating", congrats, there's dozens of us. Sure, there's ice picks and beaver shots, but Mr. Knight's catatonically besotted performance is one for the ages. An ill-advised (and mostly forgotten) sequel was produced, and somehow they didn't invite Wayne Knight back to once again stand slack-jawed and drench his polo shirt. A damn shame. Karl and Russ will dissect these two films, one of them remembered as an iconic '90s erotic neo-noir thriller, the other...well, not really remembered at all. It's for the best.

    005: Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull

    In this legendary episode, Karl and Russ examine a pair of Indiana Jones films that highlight Steven Spielberg's ability to make both some of the most iconic adventure films of our lifetime while also making some of the most incoherent dreck. Through it all, Karl and Russ tackle the tough questions, like; how do magnets work? Are atomic bombs really all that dangerous? And seriously, how does Indiana Jones even keep his job as a professor? Join your fearless guides as they answer these questions and more, all in a podcast that will delight the whole family. Well, maybe just your weird uncle.

    004: The Shining & Doctor Sleep

    Are you into rotting bathtub demons? because, boy, do we have a pair of films for YOU. For this episode, Karl and Russ take a look at Stanley Kubrick's masterpiece The Shining, and the nobody-asked-for-this sequel Doctor Sleep. But that doesn't mean it's bad, and if Stephen King writes a book, Mike Flanagan is first in line at the bookstore flashing his Stephen King Fan Club badge. Tune in to find out what works, what doesn't, and if we can parse what all these different psychic abilities do. There's a lot.

    003: First Blood & Rambo: Last Blood

    First Blood, Middle Blood, Last Blood....who can keep 'em straight? Karl and Russ give it a shot, as our intrepid explorers tackle the beginning and end of the the Rambo franchise, and try to suss out exactly what is going on with this character that Stallone has played for nearly 40 years. How does he go from a film where he kills nobody, to a film where he murders an entire drug cartel? Maybe it was the cowboy hat.

    002: The Hustler & The Color of Money

    In this episode we take a look at the highly lauded 1961 sports drama The Hustler and it's legacy sequel The Color of Money, released 25 years later. Both films garnered Paul Newman a best actor nod for his role of Fast Eddie, but really it's Cruise acting like a samurai while singing Werewolves of London and screaming like a lunatic that will get you pumping your fist. As a bonus, we also now know what a Balabushka is!

    001: Independence Day & Independence Day: Resurgence

    For their inaugural episode, Karl and Russ dive into the 1996 blockbuster Independence Day, and it's legacy sequel Independence Day: Resurgence. Released almost exactly 20 years apart, they discuss each film in detail, talk about characters that do and don't reprise their roles, and whether any of this was necessary at all (hint: it probably wasn't).
