The long wait is over and the six episode run of brand new installments of The X Files are here! But, how could you possibly be expected to navigate the conspiracies and new information placed before you without the aid of your dedicated duo, Duncan and Bo? Well, let’s stop yaping and start X-Filing! We cover the first two episodes and discuss what’s different and very much the same about this new incarnation of the influential series. Come on in!

Jan 27, 2016•1 hr 23 min•Transcript available on Metacast Season two returns with episode seven, in which your faithful heroes debate two new films centered around the holidays. Duncan comes strong with the buzz-worthy Tangerine, while Bo goes old school with the Jodie Foster-directed Home for the Holidays! Can Bo’s pick overcome Duncan’s distaste for Holly Hunter (?!) or will an indie film about transsexuals in Los Angeles take the day? This, plus the gorgeous fountain of Higgledy-Piggledy, Paranormal Activity: The Ghost Dimension and Knock Knock are ...
Jan 15, 2016•2 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome to episode six of season two, an episode where your faithful hosts get criminal! With Duncan in the lead by a single film, Bo has to get European with the ponderous and deceptively simple Stranger by the Lake. Meanwhile, Duncan goes American with the recent 2015 thriller, The Gift. Can this reversal of roles secure Duncan’s lead or will Bo tie things up? These questions answered, plus Bo’s DJ name and lots and lots of penis. The post Duncan and Bo Come Correct – Criminal Behavior first a...
Nov 06, 2015•2 hr 5 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s that time of the year… the leaves are turning, there’s a chill to the air, and Duncan and Bo have returned to battle on the fields of horror. With the score tied once more, Duncan gets foreign (naturally) with the Belgian surrealist horror film Calvaire, while Bo goes all American with the tale of a discarded alligator that grows to enormous size in the sewers of Chicago called, naturally, Alligator. Also, we discuss Unfriended and The Visit and pitch a million dollar idea for a Halloween-b...
Oct 16, 2015•2 hr 48 min•Transcript available on Metacast Join your debating duo Duncan and Bo for the fourth round in Season Two of Duncan and Bo Come Correct. Bo leads 2-1, and this time out the fellas get all mysterious with a pair of modern films that redefine the nature of the classical mystery. Will Bo secure another win with the Steven Soderbergh social commentary/murder mystery Side Effects from 2013, or will Duncan prove that newer is better with his pick, 2014’s Gone Girl from the estimable David Fincher? Be warned of spoilers in this episode...
Sep 23, 2015•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast What a season, huh? Up and down, a whirlwind of emotions, disappointments and high points. We’re going to talk about it all here. First, we examine the extended-length final episode of True Detective and discuss the resolution of the our characters’ stories, as well as the larger mystery at work. Then, we talk about the season as a whole and address some of the common complaints, both reasonable and otherwise and we grade the season as a whole. One thing remains clear – everyone hates Chad. This...
Aug 12, 2015•2 hr 19 min•Transcript available on Metacast With the scored tied at one apiece, the pugilists of projections turn their sights to the topic of war. Duncan digs deep for an excellent and complex film called Ulzana’s Raid, set in the American Old West where a veteran tracker played by Burt Lancaster squares off against savage Apaches, but who’s the real villain of this film? Determined to take home season two with authority, Bo adds a touch of Kubrick with the Cold War satire, Dr. Strangelove; or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the...
Aug 10, 2015•2 hr 44 min•Transcript available on Metacast With only one episode left, Duncan and Bo take stock of this info-filled episode, as well as a hint of our overall impressions for the season as a whole. Paul does interesting things! Ray and Ani are in the thick of it! Frank is awesome! Our proposals for True Detective Season Three! All this and more in this penultimate episode of our True Detective series! The post Duncan and Bo Come True Detective Episode 7 – Black Maps and Motel Rooms first appeared on Legion ....
Aug 08, 2015•2 hr 40 min•Transcript available on Metacast Only two episodes left! This time around, we talk swanky parties, the range of emotions you see on Colin Farrell’s face, the typical Tuesday night for Bo, Duncan’s knife-based glee, Puddin’ Pop ignorance, more Twin Peaks-ish influences and the sinister nature of Chad. What’s going on with that folder? Is Paul actually doing something? Where do we go from here? This feels like the the turn into the final stretch, so let’s get those crackpot theories front-and-center, True Detectives! The post Dun...
Aug 01, 2015•1 hr 26 min•Transcript available on Metacast After the disappointing fourth episode, Duncan and Bo steel themselves for the next outing. Finding ourselves flung two months into the future, we discuss the ways that the lives of the main characters have changed, the state of the ongoing investigation, Paul’s home life, alcohol slang, Colin Ferrell acting the hell out of a scene, and the benefits of the emotional cliffhanger. Is True Detective back to form, or is this yet another tease in a slough toward mediocrity? All this and more on this ...
Jul 23, 2015•1 hr 20 min•Transcript available on Metacast Ah, love. To quote Matt Groening, love is like hurtling across the frozen tundra when, suddenly, the snowmobile flips over. At night, the ice weasels come. We debate the respective merits of the 1981 comedy classic Modern Love and reflect on the true meaning of ‘uncomfortable.’ Duncan gets all European with the coming-of-age tale Blue Is the Warmest Color, which depicts the burgeoning romance and fallout of the relationship between two young French women. Regardless, neither of these are going t...
Jul 20, 2015•1 hr 20 min•Transcript available on Metacast We explore the relative utility of the domestic elephant before launching into a discussion of “Down Will Come,” the fourth episode of season two of True Detective. Duncan begins to doubt one theory while Bo proposes another, alien-free guess at the killer’s identity. Is the show just treading water now? Why doesn’t Paul do anything? Did the episode earn that ending? Cheech and The Man! All this and more! The post Duncan and Bo Come True Detective – Episode Four! first appeared on Legion ....

If you do not wish the show to be spoiled, go no further!!! Now that we’ve ditched those losers, let’s talk True Detective! What about that ending, huh?

We’re deep in it now, kids, so hop in and let’s talk about that second episode! ...
Jul 01, 2015•58 min•Transcript available on Metacast Cinematic opponents Duncan and Bo turn their attention to the groundbreaking HBO series, True Detective. The first season was a landmark in episodic television and a legitimate phenomenon. So how goes season two? We break down the first episode, do a little comparing and contrasting, engage in bad accents and celebrate the use of brass knuckles. Come on in! The post Duncan and Bo Come True Detective! first appeared on Legion ....
Jun 27, 2015•39 min•Transcript available on Metacast Season Two is here! Welcome back to the cinematic theater of conflict that is Duncan and Bo Come Correct! For the kick-off of Season Two, we come together to discuss two examples of French cinema. Duncan gets all black-and-white with Luc Besson’s Angel-a, in which a down-on-his-luck crook meets a beautiful woman with an appetite for life and a fantastic secret. Bo brings the rabbit-raisin’, water-needin’ drama of Jean de Florette to the table, and, of course, Gerard Depardieux plays a hunchback....
Jun 13, 2015•1 hr 17 min•Transcript available on Metacast It’s the Feast versus the ‘Beast in the final episode of season one, and the first round of Duncan and Bo Come Incorrect! With victory in hand, Duncan shows up to the party with a 5000-year-old Blood Feast. With the intention of proving that his pick is the worst-yet-wonderful movie, Duncan’s film boasts inept cops, ridiculous books, ’60s-era cheesecake, and the worst sacrifice in film history. Bo has been touting his pick for several episodes, and brings the thunder with a film filled with stop...
Feb 20, 2015•2 hr 31 min•Transcript available on Metacast After eleven hard-fought episodes, it all comes down to this. With a loss, Bo must admit defeat to Duncan for season one. With a win, a tie is still possible, which is technically a win for the United States, based on the same logic that America rules and Scotland drools. Duncan comes armed with a post-modernist tale of revenge in the Australian outback, a Guy Pearce-starring film entitled The Proposition. Unimpressed with his film rival’s new-fangled movie, Bo fires back with the last movie sta...
Feb 10, 2015•2 hr 36 min•Transcript available on Metacast Welcome back to the gladiatorial cinematic experience that is Duncan and Bo Come Correct. With Bo behind Duncan and the season rapidly drawing to a close, Bo is a clear underdog. It’s only right that we address sports films. Neither challenger is willing to admit defeat as Bo brings the heat with the baseball drama, Moneyball. Duncan, riding high on his foreign film picks, goes back to the well for the Iranian feel-good film, Children of Heaven. With only two episodes remaining, every pick is cr...
Jan 14, 2015•1 hr 7 min•Transcript available on Metacast In the auspicious return to cinematic battle, stalwart heroes Duncan and Bo look to the world of documentary filmmaking. Duncan decides to go dark, unsurprising to anyone who knows anyone from Scotland, and Bo finds old people singing to be a worth opponent to Duncan’s selection. Will the Dark Side win out in this discussion of real-world storytelling? Listen to find out the surprising answer! The post Duncan and Bo Come Correct Episode 10 – Let’s Get Real first appeared on Legion ....
Dec 30, 2014•1 hr 25 min•Transcript available on Metacast Just in time for Halloween, your hosts do battle on familiar ground as they present each other with a pair of previously-unseen fright flicks! Bo brings a cinematic adaptation of the graphic novel series Trailer Park of Terror, complete with undead demolition derbies, rockin’ zombies and a seductive snuff film director. Not to be outdone, Duncan offers up The Cottage, boasting famed monkey-person Andy Serkis and The League of Gentlemen‘s Reece Shearsmith. Seriously, if you haven’t seen it, you s...
Oct 28, 2014•1 hr 12 min•Transcript available on Metacast After seven episodes, our heroes delve into the world of bad children and the parents who may or may not love them. Duncan goes the deeply serious route with the intense drama We Need To Talk About Kevin. Bo lightens things up (comparatively speaking) with the Bobcat Goldthwaite film World’s Greatest Dad, featuring the recently-departed Robin Williams. It’s the battle of the bad kids in the latest episode of Duncan and Bo Come Correct! The post Duncan and Bo Come Correct Episode 8: Nobody’s Chil...
Sep 19, 2014•1 hr 27 min•Transcript available on Metacast Having established victories in the previous two episodes, Bo swaggers into this episode with the Kenneth Lonergan-directed comedy-drama, You Can Count on Me. Boasting incredible performances by Mark Ruffalo and Laura Linney, how can he lose? Duncan refuses to be denied, however, returning from two losses with the near-future fantasy Robot & Frank, with the full weight of a Frank Langella master-performance behind it. Can two comedy-dramas of such high quality finally tear the show apart? Can Du...
Sep 01, 2014•1 hr 3 min•Transcript available on Metacast After tying the previous week with the roundhouse pick of The Contender, Bo heads back into the ring with a movie that mixes the sweet science with a con. With James Woods in his corner, how can he lose? On the other side of the ring, Duncan steps up with a taste of magical realism and a heady examination of the meaning of happiness and fulfillment. It’s mind vs. mayhem, brains vs. brawn and James Woods and Louis Gossett, Jr, vs. some Swedish people. Let’s do this! The post Duncan and Bo Come Co...
Aug 12, 2014•1 hr 15 min•Transcript available on Metacast Here we are again, faithful listeners, with another round of the greatest battle humanity has yet known. On the one side, Duncan MacLeish, hailing from Scotland, and avid viewer of cinema. On the other, Bo Ransdell, American and defender of the freedom to eat a triple cheeseburger with a fork made from an Uzi. This time, they each choose a buddy cop film, but can the strain of competition allow these cinematic brawlers to be buddies at the end? Also, there’s something about August Underground an...
Aug 02, 2014•41 min•Transcript available on Metacast We have been remiss in getting you, our dear droogs, a new episode. I, Bo, take full responsibility for that in that it has taken more time to edit this episode. BUT, this episode is about twice as long as usual, so don’t be so huffy. In Episode Four, a TIEBREAKER episode, we discuss two very different films from two very different filmmakers, both of whom have produced some of the most interesting cinema in the past decade. Ben Wheatley and Bobcat Goldthwait give us plenty to talk about with A ...
Aug 02, 2014•59 min•Transcript available on Metacast The score is 3-2, Duncan. Waylaying Bo with the excellent A Field in England, Duncan pulls ahead and has come most correct over four episodes. Back against the wall, can Bo tie it up or will Scotland’s favorite son widen the gap? This episode reveals all! We discuss two films that deal with power, whether criminal or political (what’s the difference really?). Two films from the year 2000 face off in the cinematic circle, the film Thunderdome from which only one movie may be crowned king. Also, m...
