Legends Podcast #762; The Truman Show (1998)
Jan 2101:09:54Tap to summarizeLegends Podcast starts the year with another Jim Carrey-led picture. This time, instead of stealing Christmas, Carrey plays Truman Burbank, the most famous actor in the world, and star of his own 24/7 television show, watched and beloved by millions. He just doesn't know it. Directed by Christoff (Ed Harris), this show has been on the air since Truman was born, with a whole cast of characters, from his wife (Laura Linney) to his best friend (Noah Emmerich), supporting the charade. But when Truman begins to suspect the ruse, will he learn the truth and reunite with his lost love? Or will Peter Weir's 1998 film prove to be a cautionary tale about reality television? Or both? Join us was we tune in to The Truman Show! For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #759; Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas (1977)
Dec 2401:08:08Tap to summarizeIn 1977, Jim Henson, having found success with The Muppet Show, began experimenting with new technology and storytelling styles in the hopes of developing a feature film. Adapting a children's book by Russell Hoban and Lillian Hoban, itself an adaptation of the classic O. Henry short story "The Gift of Magi," Henson and his production team created a one-hour Christmas special that premiered in Canada on CBC and aired the following year on the then-new HBO channel. Featuring several original songs written by frequent Henson collaborator Paul Williams, subsequent airings on ABC and Nickelodeon, along with home video releases, cemented the quirky special's popularity. Now we're going down to the river to take in the sights and sounds of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas! And stick around for news and trailers, along with how we plan to spend our Christmas vacations. See you in 2026!

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #740; Aug-Heist: The Getaway - Argo (2012)
Aug 14, 202501:01:34Tap to summarizeThis week on Aug-Heist: The Getaway, fact meets fiction with the “based on a true story about a fake movie” Argo! Set during the Iranian hostage crisis, this ensemble escape thriller stormed the box office and awards season, raking in over $230 million and winning Oscars for Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Film Editing. Director Ben Affleck was notably snubbed and not nominated by the Academy, but he also stars as CIA exfiltration expert Tony Mendez, along with a “most wanted” list of prestige movie actors, including Alan Arkin, Kyle Chandler, Bryan Cranston, Tate Donovan, Victor Garber, John Goodman, Scoot McNairy, and Chris Messina. But does this film provide enough of an escape for our hosts, or did we feel like we were being held hostage while watching it? ARGO F--- YOURSELF!

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #739; Aug-Heist: The Getaway - Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009)
Aug 6, 202501:12:36Tap to summarizeThis is Aug-Heist: The Getaway! This week, we’re running away with Fantastic Mr. Fox, a 2009 animated film directed by Wes Anderson. The quote-unquote “Fantastic Mr. Fox” - voiced by George Clooney - and his colorful cast of animal accomplices - including the voices of Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, and Bill Murray - must escape from one perilous predicament after another when faced with the wrath of three local farmers. Anderson and co-writer Noah Baumbach adapted the beloved children's book by Roald Dahl, expanded on its plot, and created a vibrant world in stop-motion. The result was a hit, with the flick feasting on its fill at the box office and awards shows. But will it get off scot free with our fantastic foursome of fearsome hosts? Or will this fox tale wind up decorating our mantle? For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #738; Listener Pick: Heretic (2024)
Jul 30, 202501:10:03Tap to summarizeWe’ve reached the end of July, and believe it or not, it’s the first month this year with five Tuesdays. Don’t believe me? Well, look at a calendar. No, no, the Julian Calendar. It’s July, for christsakes! Sorry, sorry. Right, where was I? Oh, so it’s a listener pick this week, and we’ve got a good one. Listener Matthew brings an offering of a horror outing from last year featuring Hugh Grant at his most charming and most creepy in a film written and directed by Scott Beck and Bryan Woods. Starring Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East as Mormon missionaries, this film raises philosophical, spiritual, and existential questions - all while scaring the bejesus out of us. I said, “be-jesus,” not… Oh, nevermind. Brother Matthew is in the room with us right now. Let’s all bow our heads and say a little prayer before we enjoy this delicious-smelling blueberry pie… Do you have a moment to discuss Heretic?

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #737; Summer of 69 (2025) take2
Jul 23, 202501:10:42Tap to summarizeIt’s the summer of ‘25 and we’re heading to Syracuse, New York, in search of an act of reciprocal pleasure. In the Salt City, we discover the latest film from American High, a sultry and silly affair directed by Jillian Bell in her directorial debut, and written by Bell, Liz Nico, and Jules Byrne. When naive high school senior Abby vows to wow her crush Max by performing his favorite sex act, she needs the tutelage of stripper Santa Monica in order to do the deed and seal the deal. Meanwhile, Santa Monica is staring down her own hairy scenario as ownership of her strip club dangles in front of her. Starring Abby Morelos, Chloe Fineman, Matt Cornett, Paula Pell, Natalie Morales, and Charlie Day, this flick premiered at SXSW back in March before being released by Hulu in May. But does this teen comedy satisfy our hosts equally? Or is it all risky business and no reward? Join us as things get hot and heavy with Summer of 69!

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #736; Toy Soldiers (1991)
Jul 16, 202501:00:25Tap to summarizeIn 1991, Daniel Petrie, the director of Beverly Hills Cop and Turner & Hooch, brought a script he'd co-written with David Koepp, based on the novel by William P. Kennedy, to the big screen. Starring Sean Astin a year before he had everyone chanting his name in Rudy and Wil Wheaton a year after he’d beamed off the Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation, this film had its finger on the pulse of moviemaking trends. When the red dawn sees an elite boarding school under siege by Colombian terrorists, leaving the students running scared from lethal weapons, these kids must stand and deliver to defend their home away from home alone, or risk dying hard and ending up in the dead poets society. With Louis Gossett Jr., Denholm Elliott, Jerry Orbach, R. Lee Ermey, and Andrew Divoff rounding out the ensemble cast, this coming-of-age action flick was a modest success at the box office, but quickly forgotten, finishing 87th at the ‘91 box office. But old playthings never die, they just sink to the bottom of the toybox, so we’re digging up and dusting off Toy Soldiers - and we’re gonna play with it for a little bit.

Transcribe →Legends Podcast #735; Sinners (2025)
Jul 9, 202501:16:56Tap to summarizeDirector Ryan Coogler and actor Michael B. Jordan have cashed in on teaming up over the past decade, from Coogler’s debut Fruitvale Station, to Black Panther, to Creed. This 2025 film, their fifth collaboration, sees Coogler double down on Michael B. Jordan - quite literally. Set in the 1932 Mississippi Delta, this genre-defying film sees Jordan play twin brothers who seek to open their own juke joint, only to be threatened by a clan of vampires. The film co-stars Hailee Steinfeld, Wunmi Mosaku, Jack O'Connell, Jayme Lawson, Delroy Lindo and introduces singer Miles Caton in his first film role. Earning $365 million at the box office to date, it is one of the best-received films of the year so far and an early contender for an Oscar nomination.
