Legends Podcast

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and compliance.

In the summer of 1982, director Stephen Spielberg's E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial rocketed to the top of the box office and surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time. The film was aimed squarely at kids, starring a youngster and his likeable alien friend, with no "bad guys" except for the shadowy government types who doggedly pursue the two. E.T.'s success inspired plenty of knock-offs throughout the '80s, including The Last Starfighter, Explorers, *batteries not included, and Mac and Me. Not to be left out, Walt Disney Pictures released Flight of the Navigator in 1986, about a time-displaced child and a talking spaceship voiced by Pee-Wee Herman star Paul Reubens. The film was a modest hit during Disney's "dark age," but nowhere near as successful as E.T. Disney has promised to make a reboot since 2009, so Legends Podcast wraps up its time travel month with Beef's childhood favorite. Do not know "promise…" This is Chronovember!

During his prolific career, author Michael Crichton brought dinosaurs back to life, explored a jungle ruled by evil gorillas, terrorized us with a virus from outer space, and proved that footnotes and dense technical descriptions could have a place in bestselling novels. Most importantly, his works were tailor-made for the movies, with seven of his books getting the big-screen treatment in the '90s. Crichton capped his amazing run with a novel that tackled sci-fi's holy grail - time travel - with his signature exhaustive pseudoscientific detail. In 2003, ace action director Richard Donner brought Timeline to life with a Paul Walker led feature film, about a group of scholars sent back in time to medieval France. There's one thing worse than dying here, and that's living here... This is Chronovember!

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we're talking about time travel, paradoxes, and being excellent to each other.

Time travel is extremely complicated, rife with unintended consequences. You could accidentally erase yourself from existence or change the course of all of history. Or you could, you know, kidnap half a dozen historical figures just to get a passing grade in high school social studies. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure accomplished this consequence-free time travel with just a phone booth, and it scored big at the box office, with one sequel in 1991, two television spin-offs (one live-action and one animated) and a third film, Bill & Ted Face the Music, in the works for summer 2020 release. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K... This is Chronovember!

The Terminator franchise can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever... until you are dead! This past weekend's release of Terminator: Dark Fate proved that statement definitively as the film became the third attempt to restart the franchise in only a decade. But will the fact that Fate delivered less than $30 million at the box office be enough to convince Hollywood to terminate this aging relic? Or will future time travelers be able to erase the past ten years of reboots? We're going back to the beginning to see if there's hope. Come with us if you want to live... This is Chronovember!

Daylight savings threw beef off, he thought it was sent time back a full week... not clocks back an hour.. his bad! your final Legends of Halloween for 2019

Director Robert Eggers made a name for himself with the 2015 release of his debut film, The Witch. Stylized as The VVitch, the film, set in colonial New England with all its "thees" and "thous," established Eggers's bonafides as an auteur with an instinct for authenticity. With his next film, The Lighthouse, now in theaters and earning rave reviews, Wing and Lobster venture into the woods to see a goat about a man. Move along, this is Legends of Halloween… pilgrim.

Thanksgiving is a time when friends and family gather together to eat, watch football, and be grateful. And what podcast wouldn't be grateful to have listeners who request films for us to watch and rate? Films like 2009's ThanksKilling, a direct-to-video horror-comedy flick so absurd that no studio would touch it. And by no studio, we mean that literally: the filmmakers made it for $3,500 and sold copies of the DVD on Amazon directly to people desperate enough to buy a movie that promised "tits in a first second!" After taking more than a year to sell just 1,000 copies, ThanksKilling has since become a cult classic, with a KickStarter-funded sequel and even a musical adaptation. Now, Legends Podcast is talking turkey. Gobble, gobble, motherfeather, this is Legends of Halloween!

The second-highest grossing release of 1999, sitting at $672.8 million worldwide, was M. Night Shyamalan's supernatural horror drama film The Sixth Sense, starring Bruce Willis and Haley Joel Osment. The film spent five weeks at number one in the U.S. box office, was nominated for six Academy Awards, and introduced the phrase "I see dead people" into the pop culture lexicon. The film's final twist, which became a Shyamalan trademark, kept audiences going back to see if they could spot the clues, which also translated to strong VHS sales and rental figures when The Sixth Sense was released on home video. Now, Legends Podcast is ready to tell you Bruce Willis's secret… he's wearing a hairpiece.

Based on the equally divisive novel by Bret Easton Ellis, the film American Psycho has been polarizing audiences since it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival nearly two decades ago. Set in the late '80s, released in the year 2000, and now seen as a cult classic, the horror-comedy put Christian Bale on the map - and also spawned an '80s pop-infused musical. In the words of director Mary Harron, the film also reads "as a scenario of female terror," as relevant today as when it was made. Likewise, controversy over the film's violence and descent into madness mirrors the concern over the recent release of Joker, which explores similar themes. And now, in the wilds of Wall Street, three podcasters whip out and compare their business cards… this is Legends of Halloween!

One of 1999's breakout success stories was a found-footage horror movie, a student documentary, a Sundance darling, an elaborate hoax, a sleeper hit, one of the most successful independent films of all time, and a viral marketing experiment that resulted in the film's three stars being listed as "missing, presumed dead" on the website IMDb for over a year. The Blair Witch Project, a long-gestating production from amateur filmmakers Daniel Myrick and Eduardo Sánchez, made on a shoestring budget of just sixty thousand dollars, grossed near $250 million at the box office. It finished in tenth place domestically, beating out other horror entries from masters like Tim Burton and Stephen King. The Blair Witch Project launched a whole genre of horror, from Paranormal Activity to Cloverfield and Chronicle. And now, in the woods of rural Maryland, three podcasters welcome in the season of evil… this is Legends of Halloween!

Quentin Tarantino's films seem to excite and divide audiences with equal fervor. His 2009 World War II masterpiece, Inglourious Basterds, was met with approval, but not universal acclaim. The film's breakout star, Christoph Waltz, won an Academy Award for his role as SS colonel Hans Landa, but Basterds lost out in the Best Picture race to another war movie, The Hurt Locker. Dealing as it does with the theme of fighting fascism by any means necessary, Tarantino's sixth film feels more timely now than it did ten years ago. But does this equate to a film that is more divisive a decade later? Join Beef, Wing, and Lobster as they go back to once upon a time… in Nazi-occupied France.
