From the movie studio that brought you Frozen a year later, which probably made you forget this movie existed, comes a tale of a video game villain in search of a higher calling. Combining funky animation with character cameos from across the arcade spectrum, Wreck-It Ralph established the template for overstuffed nostalgia-laden films like The Lego Movie and Ready Player One, not to mention the forthcoming sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet. But is Wreck-It Ralph still worth a shiny quarter or sh...

In the distant future, a man wakes up in a pod after a thousand years of suspended animation and encounters bug-eyed mutants and a world he doesn’t recognize. Bad news, everyone! We’re not talking about Futurama. We’re discussing the 2009 film Pandorum. Starring Dennis Quaid and Ben Foster, this sci-fi/horror flop found a cult following online, but does the film deserve to make it to the new world after we blow up this one?

Twenty-five years ago, an amazing entertainment spectacle showcased a radical new technology that brought extinct creatures to life and captured the imagination of the entire world. The fact that it happened to be a movie about an entertainment spectacle that showcased a radical new technology bringing extinct creatures to life was purely coincidental. Unlike the titular amusement park, the movie was a monumental success and hatched a franchise that, though at times seemed endangered, has yet to...

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!

A mere five months after Star Wars: The Last Jedi divided fans with its treatment of beloved characters, Lucasfilm goes back to the well of the franchise’s mythos for another anthology piece, this time focusing on a young Han Solo. Although Solo: A Star Wars Story’s opening was a box office disappointment, early reviews and fan reaction were positive. Now Legends Podcast is wading into the fracas, hoping to make sense of this bunch of mumbo-jumbo. Will we decide we’d rather watch the paint dry o...

With Solo: A Star Wars Story hitting the big screen, Legends Podcast takes a look back at another swashbuckling band of spacefaring misfits: the crew of Serenity from Joss Whedon’s Firefly. We think Mal and company could sit comfortably beside Han, Chewie, and Lando, so we’ve picked out a pair of episodes from Firefly’s first and only season, “The Train Job” and “Our Mrs. Reynolds,” which we think make a nice duo to discuss before Solo. We aim to misbehave, but never tell us the odds! Spoiler Al...

After eviscerating Valentine’s Day box office records, the Merc with a Mouth is at it again, this time setting his sights on Summer Movie Season. Deadpool 2, which adds Josh Brolin’s Cable and a fanny pack full of fresh faces, hopes to re-write history with a super-duper effing team movie. Will the one-time Green Lantern Ryan Reynolds be able to build a marketable franchise around an R-rating up against the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars? If not, we hear that X-Force is hiring... Spoile...

Legends Podcast takes a detour from blockbuster to Blumhouse with 2017’s surprisingly successful debut film from writer/director Jordan Peele. In making the transition from TV sketch comedy to horror, Peele put a terrifying spin on the classic “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner?” set-up. Get Out earned a massive $250 million on a four-and-a-half million dollar budget and garnered multiple awards and nominations, including an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for Peele. But does this scary story add ...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe spent 18 films building to an epic showdown with Thanos, the Mad Titan. Avengers: Infinity War is the culmination of ten years’ worth of storytelling, featuring dozens of characters, various locations across the cosmos, and stakes high enough to bring together Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Master of the Mystic Arts, and your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. While the film has already broken box office records around the globe, it has le...

In 2007, one movie brought together Scarecrow, Captain America, Captain Phillipa Georgiou, Moira MacTaggart, Wong, the dad from Fear the Walking Dead, and Sinestro. That movie was written by the man who would create Ex Machina and directed by the man who will direct the 25th James Bond installment. That movie was Sunshine, and it was a box office flop. But just over a decade later, the legacy of the film seems brighter as many of its stars have found the spotlight and its director won a shiny Os...

There was an idea… to bring together a group of Marvel’s B-List superheroes to see if they could become something more than just a bunch of characters we still had the rights to. To see if they could work together when we needed them to fight the box office battles that the X-Men, Spider-Man, and the Fantastic Four never could. To see if a throwaway gag in a post-credits scene could actually become one of the highest grossing movies of all time. And then to use a post-credits scene in that movie...
