  Legends Podcast makes a detour to the Western Coast of Australia for a wannabe Tarantino flick from director Kriv Stenders! Co-starring Westworld's Luke Hemsworth (brother of Thor), Kill Me Three Times also brings us Simon Pegg as a sardonic hit man in a layered tale of betrayal and revenge. The movie has more twists than you could shake a didgeridoo at, but is Kill Me Three Times worth watching more than once? Stay till the end, lobster comes in hot!   Spoiler Alert! Spoiler Alert!

In 1946, director Frank Capra brought to the big screen the tale of George Bailey of Bedford Falls, in an inversion of the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. Instead of teaching a miserly villain the error of his ways by showing him his life's low points, Capra revealed that a good man's good deeds prove one man's life has worth beyond measure. Starring Jimmy Stewart, Donna Reed, Lionel Barrymore, and Henry Travers as the angel Clarence Oddbody, this film initially received mixed reviews and was unsuccessful at the box office, despite the fact that it was nominated for five Academy Awards, including Best Picture. Without significant interest, the film's copyright in the U.S. expired in 1974 and it entered the public domain, allowing it to be broadcast without licensing or royalty fees. Broadcast at almost no cost by local television stations, the film grew to become an annual Christmas classic. Turning 80 next year, it is now regarded as one of the greatest movies ever made, but will inconsistent streaming options and copyright issues make us wish this movie had never been filmed? Now we're getting the holiday spirit in the hopes of proving that It's a Wonderful Life after all!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Marcel the Shell with Shoes On burst onto the internet stage in 2010 with a three minute YouTube video. In three short videos, the world fell in love with the tiny, soft-spoken, introspective mollusc as he showed us his everyday life in a human-sized home. Directed by Dean Fleischer Camp and voiced by actress Jenny Slate, Marcel's adventures jumped to the big screen in 2021 with a feature length film. While audiences didn't exactly "shell"out the big bucks to see it, the movie was critically adored, earning a near-perfect 98% on Rotten Tomatoes. Now we're renting an AirBnB to see what all the fuss is about!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Football season may be over, but we're going into overtime with an ESPN documentary from the 30 for 30 series. From 1990 to 1993, the Buffalo Bills ascended to the heights of NFL greatness, winning four consecutive AFC Championships. With a locker room filled with big personalities, including future Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed, led by legendary coach Marv Levy, the Bills are not remembered for punching their ticket to the Big Game four years in a row. No, they're remembered for losing. All. Four. Narrated by actor and Bills fan Willaim Fichtner, the doc ties into Lobster and Beef's childhood memories and Rum Daddy's early editing career. But thirty years after the Buffalo Bills' last trip to the Super Bowl, is Four Falls of Buffalo worth falling for or does it fumble at the one-yard line?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're kicking off 2023 with a month dedicated to hunting the most dangerous game: man! And we're beginning The Most Dangerous Month by reviewing the film that started it all, the 1932 adaptation of the O.Henry award-winning Richard Connell short story. Produced alongside King Kong, the Pre-Code classic features a big-game hunter played by Joel McCrea and a castaway played by Kong heroine Fay Wray who both find themselves in Count Zaroff's clutches on his man-hunting secret island. The film has been remade multiple times (including the 2020 Quibi series starring Liam Hemsworth and Christoph Waltz) and inspired countless similar stories, including the rest of this month's movies. We're tracking down The Most Dangerous Game to see if it still packs a punch ninety years later!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In 2012, the French sci-fi action film Lockout asked the question: what if Luc Besson ripped off John Carpenter's Escape from New York? When a convicted ex-soldier is asked to infiltrate a floating maximum-security prison to rescue a member of the First Family in order to receive a pardon, hijinks ensue. Starring Guy Pearce as Snake - er, um, "Snow," - Lockout was panned by critics as "Escape from N.Y./L.A. in space" and barely made back its $20 million dollar budget. Carpenter then sued for plagiarism, and a French court ruled that Besson's company EuropaCorp had to pay $502,000 in damages. But after a year of lockdown, does Lockout's punishment still fit the crime? For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Director Christopher Nolan made his mark in the mid-2000s with Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, starring Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne. But between these two blockbusters, Nolan and Bale teamed up on another project, an adaptation of Christopher Priest's 1995 epistolary novel about two rival magicians in late 1800s England, with Hugh Jackman playing Bale's frenemy. In the mix are Michael Caine, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, and Andy Serkis, with David Bowie appearing as inventor Nikola Tesla. The modestly budgeted film successfully wowed audiences, earning over $100 million at the box office, and it scored Oscar noms for Best Art Direction and Best Cinematography. Now we're watching very closely to see if The Prestige still holds up twenty years later. Or, perhaps, its tricks no longer fool us… because you either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain. Oh, no! Wrong movie!

We're hitting the road with actors Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon (playing fictionalized versions of themselves) to the North of England. Exploring the immortal poetry of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, William Wordsworth, and ABBA, the film combines gastro-tourism, mid-life crises, impressions, song, and more impressions in a road-trip odd couple buddy comedy that somehow always keeps its foot on the laugh track. (Okay, it doesn't actually have a laugh track, but you get the joke.) Originally a 6-episode TV series, director Michael Winterbottom recut the largely improvised scenes into a movie, which hit 89% on Rotten Tomatoes and has led to further excursions to Italy, Spain, and Greece, with a fifth outing on the way. Now buckle up and unbutton your trousers for the next course as we tuck into The Trip!   ITHACON 49 is Saturday, April 25th, and Sunday, April 26th, at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY!

Legends Podcast is heading to Korea for Netflix's most successful original release ever! Based on - holy moley - this is an original I.P.?! It's not a comic or video game? Wow! Based on an original idea by co-director Maggie Kang, this 2025 film from Sony Pictures Animation centers on an all-girl trio of K-pop superstars who also happen to be their generation's protectors from an ever-present invasion of demons from the underworld. Uniting the world in song, these K-pop demon hunters headlined the most-watched original title in Netflix history, leading to the widest release by number of theaters for a Netflix film, and the first Netflix flick to top the box office in the United States. The soundtrack was the first to have four songs in the Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time, and the film brought home the Golden Globe and Academy Awards for Best Original Song and Best Animated Feature. Now we're k-ashing in on the k-phenomenon that is KPop Demon Hunters!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Court is in session on this 2001 Reese Witherspoon star vehicle, based on the book by Amanda Brown, who channeled her own real-life experiences as a blonde Stanford law student into a book that sparked a studio bidding war. Reese Witherspoon faced her own struggles landing the lead role after being typecast as Tracy Flick from Election. However, with her turn as Elle Woods, a fashion-forward Harvard Law student who proves that beauty and brains can go together, Reese Witherspoon found a breakout role and theatergoers found an instant classic. It's not just Reese Witherspoon; also with her are Luke Wilson, Jennifer Coolidge, Selma Blair, Ali Larter, Holland Taylor, and Victor Garber. Opening with just a $20 million first weekend, the film directed by Robert Luketic went on to earn $142 million at the global box office as a sleeper hit. This strong precedent has led to sequel, a Broadway musical, a reality TV show about casting the musical, a direct-to-video spin-off, and now there's an Amazon prequel series, Elle, set to debut in July. Ever the arbiters of justice and good taste, our hosts will now sit in judgement of the age-old adage: blondes have more fun. It may not be fair, it may not be easy, but it is Legally Blonde!

We're dropping our first listener pick of 2026, and it comes from twenty-five years ago, courtesy of Listener Bryan. In 2001, actor-turned-director Peter Howitt released his sophomore film (following 1998's Sliding Doors), a techno-thriller with a hot young cast including Ryan Phillippe, Claire Forlani, and Rachael Leigh Cook. In the film, tech mogul Gary Winston (played by Tim Robbins) aims to revolutionize global communication, but he might be literally killing the competition to get there. The film boasts set designs by Catherine Hardwicke and a rocking score by Don Davis, but it just didn't click with audiences. So while the film itself crashed at the box office upon release in January 2001, it did set Listener Bryan on his course towards a career in tech. In an age when giant software companies still rule our lives - and spy on us - does a film about a giant software company spying on and ruling lives still ring true? Or does Antitrust belong in the Recycle Bin?

Aspiring screenwriter Max Frye wrote a spec script in film school about a straitlaced yuppie's "best worst night ever," which his agent later told him would be perfect for either Martin Scorsese or Jonathan Demme to direct. Since Scorsese was busy on another "yuppie's best worst night ever" movie, After Hours, Demme ended up getting the nod. Demme cast Jeff Daniels as the yuppie Charlie Driggs, with Melanie Griffith as the proto-Manic Pixie Dream Girl Lulu, who sweeps him up for a weekend that starts with sex and ends in terror at the hands of her jealous ex, played by Ray Liotta. This sex-comedy/thriller mashup boasts a fantastic soundtrack and character actor cameos galore, but is the fun worth the hangover?

Nineteen Seventy-Six. America's bicentennial was a great year for cinema, with films like A Star is Born, King Kong, All the President's Men, Carrie, and The Omen heating up the box office, and instant classics Rocky and Network earning the most accolades. After a six-decade career in the director's chair, Alfred Hitchcock released his last film, Family Plot, around the same time that an up-and-coming young director by the name of Martin Scorsese released his breakout hit, the fifth film of his budding career. Centered on a disillusioned New York cabbie played by Robert De Niro, this rain-and-neon-soaked meditation on summer in the city proved to be a defining outing by both actor and director. With a cast including Cybill Shephard, Albert Brooks, Peter Boyle, Harvey Keitel, and a very young Jodie Foster, the film racked up awards, including the Palme d'Or at Cannes and four nominations at the Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor for De Niro, and Best Supporting Actress for Foster. Despite controversies over its content, the film was hailed as a hit. Now, fifty years later, we're catching a ride with Taxi Driver and talking to you about it!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

One of the breakout hits of 2016 was this based-on-a-true-story tale of the first manned missions to outer space. Focusing on the black women at NASA - mathematicians, engineers, and computers - who made these early spaceflights a reality through sheer brainpower while often going unrecognized for their contributions, Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe star in this adaptation of Margot Lee Shetterly's book. Director Theodore Melfi chose Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst, Jim Parsons, Mahershala Ali, Aldis Hodge, and Glen Powell to round out the cast in this Best Picture Oscar nominee. But does too much melodrama subtract from the sum of this inspirational biopic? In honor of Black History Month, we're doing the math to see if all the accolades tallied by Hidden Figures still add up ten years after release.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Nineteen Eighty-Three was a great year for cinema. Scarface. The Big Chill. The Outsiders. Risky Business. The Right Stuff. Videodrome. Return of the Jedi. And to represent the year he was born, Lobster picked… this movie. Based on their breakout characters from the sketch comedy show SCTV, Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis star as Canadian brothers Bob and Doug McKenzie in this take (off, eh?) on Hamlet. Something is rotten in Ontario at the Elsinore Brewery, and it isn't just about live mice in the bottles - there's also the nefarious plans of Max Von Sydow's Brewmeister Smith. Bob and Doug try to get to the bottom of the issue, and to the bottoms of many, many bottles of beer in this cult classic, which The Globe and Mail named as one of the best Canadian comedy films ever made. Now us hoseheads are taking off to the Great White North to sample Strange Brew! Beauty, eh?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Director Guillermo del Toro has been making movies about monsters his entire career, from Mimic to Hellboy to Pan's Labyrinth to The Shape of Water. His most recent film, an adaptation of Mary Shelley's ultimate monster story from 1818, is the culmination of del Toro's long-held dream to breathe new life into his favorite novel and film subject. Drawing inspiration from John Milton, Bernie Wrightson's classic designs, and the Hammer Horror films, del Toro was ready to throw the switch on the project with Universal Pictures, until the studio's "Dark Universe" project proved dead on arrival. Now, at Netflix, del Toro's creature feature is alive… ALIVE!... once more. Starring Oscar Issac as the doctor and Jacob Elordi as the creature, the film includes Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Charles Dance, and Lars Mikkelsen, and it was recently nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture. But does this reanimated cinematic assemblage deserve to walk the halls of streaming entertainment? Or is it more "ponderous" than "pondersome," leaving us reaching for the Off switch on the remote?

In 2017, Hugh Jackman led an ensemble cast in a musical based on the life of circus ringmaster P.T. Barnum, which proved to be a smash hit at the box office. Co-starring Zac Effron, Michelle Williams, Rebecca Ferguson, Paul Sparks, and including Zendaya, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Keala Settle, Sam Humphrey, Eric Anderson, and Natasha Liu Bordizzo as members of Barnum's freakshow, with songs by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul, this film directed by Michael Gracey earned multiple awards and nominations, including a Grammy for its soundtrack. However, critics were mixed, praising its music and production, but roasting the film's historical revisionism and melodramatic approach. With a stage musical coming to the West End later this year, will our hosts decide that the greatest show on Earth is The Greatest Showman? Or would we rather run away to join the circus than have to watch it again?   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com    You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
