Legends Podcast

Legends Podcast is pressing pause on Chronovember to talk about Denis Villenueve's latest visually stunning reimagining of a beloved Eighties classic film based on long-thought-to-be-unfilmable sci-fi text! Frank Herbert's 1965 novel was a groundbreaking achievement in the genre, but David Lynch's 1984 film adaptation was a commercial and critical failure. With Villenueve's film getting a simultaneous release in the theaters and on HBO Max, as well as only tackling the first half of Herbert's novel, what will we make of this latest attempt to tell the story of Paul Muad'Dib, the worms, and the spice? God created Arrakis to train the faithful, and He created Legends Podcast to review DUNE!

We're kicking off Legends of Halloween with… well, Halloween! John Carpenter's 1978 film starring Jamie Lee Curtis ushered in the classic era of American slasher films. With the 12th movie in the franchise coming out later this month, once again starring Curtis, it's easy to forget that the original was an independent film, made on the cheap for just over a quarter million dollars. Co-written by Debra Hill, Halloween cemented Carpenter's status as a blockbuster director, launched the career of yogurt enthusiast Jamie Lee Curtis, and introduced the world to the unstoppable kitchen knife-wielding boogeyman Michael Myers.

One year after their successful reboot of Mission: Impossible, Paramount Pictures went back to the well of classic '60s TV action series with The Saint starring Val Kilmer and Elizabeth Shue. Based on the best-selling book series by Leslie Charteris, international super-thief Simon Templar has been played by nearly a dozen actors, including Vincent Price and Roger Moore, with Regé-Jean Page set to don the halo in an upcoming film. The 1997 film was a box office and home video hit, but it failed to impress critics. Now we're saying "Halo" to The Saint.

In 1991, Walt Disney Pictures released a live-action comic book movie - decades before their Marvel films - based on the 1980s graphic novel The Rocketeer by Dave Stevens. Itself an homage to 1920s and '30s action serials, Disney hoped to jumpstart their own Indiana Jones-style franchise based on the high-flying adventurer. The film starred a relative unknown, Billy Campbell, in the lead role, and it also featured Jennifer Connelly as the love interest, Alan Arkin as the mentor, and two-time James Bond actor Timothy Dalton as the bad guy. Although director Joe Johnston, who later returned to comic book period action movies two decades later with Captain America: The First Avenger, brought a surprisingly comic-accurate Rocketeer to the big screen, the film was not a major hit and Disney scrapped plans for a sequel. But with a reboot from Disney+ on the way, we're strapping on our jetpacks and taking to the skies over Hollywoodland!

The "Fast and Furious" franchise was firing on all cylinders in 2011 when it released its fifth installment. Far from the Point Break redux of ten years before, the films had evolved from their street race-centric origins through a series of side-quels, only really getting around to a proper follow-up to the first film by the fourth overall outing. In the hands of director Justin Lin, the series truly found its footing by ignoring the laws of physics and focusing on what is most important: family. This Rio-set heist flick reset the series, united the casts of multiple F&F movies, and threw The Rock into the mix for good measure. Now we're extending AugHeist into September with our fifth movie and that makes it Fast Five!

This week, we're doubling down on Soderbergh with his "Ocean's 7-Eleven" movie from 2017. Starring Channing Tatum and Adam Driver as two possibly-cursed brothers who plan to rob a NASCAR race, this down-and-dirty heist flick rounds out its cast with a Southern-drawl sporting Daniel Craig, two years ahead of his turn as the detective in Knives Out. While the film didn't exactly make off with the box office, it did convince Soderbergh to keep making movies after he announced his retirement from directing in 2013. Now we're finishing out the month with the charmingly scruffy Logan Lucky.
