Legends Podcast #698; Legends of Halloween: The Fly (1986)

This week, Legends of Halloween checks in with the inventor of pod casting, Seth Brundle. Brundle, played by Jeff, uh, Goldblum, is a reclusive scientist on the cutting edge of baboon-killing technology. While trying to crack the code of instantaneous teleportation, he recklessly experiments on himself. But when a common housefly gets caught in the machine, the result is an exercise in body horror that only David Cronenberg could deliver. The film, a remake of the 1958 classic, co-stars Geena Davis, who was at the time Goldblum’s real-life girlfriend, as the reporter and love interest Ronnie who delivers the classic line, “Be afraid, be very afraid!” The film won an Academy Award for Best Makeup, inspired a sequel and has even been turned into an opera scored by Howard Shore. Now we’re stepping into the pod to beam ourselves directly into your ears - let’s hope they stay attached! - as we talk about the 1986 version of The Fly!

Legends Podcast #697; Legends of Halloween: Color Out of Space (2019) feat. ITHAQA Comic Book Creator Michael Watson

Legends of Halloween takes a detour into Lovecraft Country with special guest comic book author Michael Watson. Based on the 1927 short story, H.P. Lovecraft’s “The Colour Out of Space” follows the aftermath of a mysterious meteorite that crashes on a family farm in the dark woods west of Arkham, Massachusetts. Starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Richard Stanley, the film adaptation was meant to kickstart a shared Lovecraft cinematic universe, but wound up buried at the box office. And here to help with our review of Color Out of Space, we've got the creator and author of the Lovecraftian indie comic, ITHAQA, which expands the map of Lovecraft Country to include the Roaring ‘20s in Ithaca, New York. Stick around after our review to learn more about ITHAQA and find out how you can become a part of the cosmic horror!

Legends Podcast #696; Legends of Halloween: Death Becomes Her (1992)

Legends of Halloween gets in touch with its inner girl with a 1992 “satirical surrealistic black comedy fantasy film” - and yes, that’s how Wikipedia categorizes it. Directed by Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Helmer Robert Zemeckis, this film defied categorization just as hard as its main characters defy the laws of nature. Meryl Steep and Goldie Hawn star as two image-obsessed rivals for the affection of plastic surgeon-turned-cosmetic mortician Bruce Willis, when they both learn that the secret to eternal youth comes with a price. “Now, a warning?!” Featuring what were revolutionary computer-generated effects, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, the film went on to become a cult classic, especially in the queer community, and will soon bow on Broadway as a musical. Now, we are become Death, viewers of Death Becomes Her! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Legends Podcast #695; Legends of Halloween: Van Helsing (2004)

Legends of Halloween is back for another spooky season with a throwback from twenty years ago, which is itself a throwback to the classic Universal Monster movies. Director Stephen Sommers had found success five years earlier in reanimating another Universal monster, The Mummy, with the Legend of ‘99 film starring Brendan Fraser. Here he tries to recapture the magic that led to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s movie career with a Hugh Jackman-starring take on the classics Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man. While the resultant film did “stake” a claim at the box office (to the sum of $300 million) it was D.O.A. with film critics (the same ones who hated The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, another literary mash-up released the year prior) and plans for a franchise were quickly buried. But God Himself can’t erase our memories - we watched Van Helsing, so you’re going to hear about it… Dammit!

Legends Podcast #694; The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984)

Nineteen-eighty-four launched a number of sci-fi/comedy franchises, including Ghostbusters, Gremlins, The Toxic Avenger, and the continuation of series like Star Trek and Indiana Jones. Meanwhile, action/comedies like Beverly Hills Cop and Romancing the Stone found success with audiences. Overall, theatergoers preferred lighter fare as opposed to weighty adaptations like Dune and, well, 1984. So what better time to release a movie about a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, rock star, and secret agent - and that’s just the main character. Starring Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown, and Ellen Barkin, the film by writer Earl Mac Rauch and director W. D. Richter seemed set up to be an instant Eighties classic - except no one went to see it. Although its franchise hopes cratered on impact, the improbably titled film has earned a cult following in the forty years since, while its many stars became Eighties icons themselves. Join us we follow The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension… because no matter where you go, there you are.

Legends Podcast #693; Listener Jeff’s Rebel Moon Director’s Cut Review (2024)

We’re joined by listener Jeff to present his exhaustive (and exhausting) take on Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon director’s cut! Clocking in at six hours and seventeen minutes, Jeff took on the Herculean task of watching the entire saga in one sitting, whilst taking copious notes. After he shared them with us a few weeks ago, we decided that the only way we would be able to properly honor his sacrifice would be to invite Jeff himself to join us on the show. So, for the first time in the history of movie podcast, a listener is going to review a movie that we three hosts could not bring ourselves to watch. This is it, folks. This is the big one. It’s Rebel Moon, the Director’s Cut, Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness, as told to us by listener Jeff!

Legends Podcast #692; The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)

We're back with a film about filmmaking, spycraft and celebrity, starring the one and only Nicolas Cage. In the movie, Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself, down on his luck and struggling to connect with his teenage daughter, when a wealthy fan (who may or may not be a kidnapper and arms dealer) makes Cage an offer he can't refuse. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, this two-hander is equal parts bromance, action-comedy, and homage to Cage’s lengthy career. And while director Tom Gormican’s debut flopped at the box office despite positive reviews, it has become a meme-fueled cult hit in the two years since its release. Now we'll find out if we can withstand - or will we be squashed beneath? - The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent!

On Barbie-

28 ene

DawnAZ

I wish you called me to guest on this episode! I appreciate all your comments and appreciation for the film. However, for women who played with Barbie as girls, this film reached deep inside us and awakened our inner girl. I saw the film with a friend who is eight years older than me. She had context for some dolls that I didn't. In contrast, my 28 year-old daughter-in-law picked up on the Bratz dolls reference. This film hit the heart of every generation! Fun fact- no one ever had a Ken. Why? We were Barbie!
i give this show an entertaining+ -- no, screw it, i'm gonna give it a legendary
