Christopher Nolan loves playing with time in his films like Memento, Inception, and Tenet and telling stories about the push and pull between family and duty. For his follow-up to The Dark Knight Rises, Nolan plays with both big ideas in a story about a future where mankind's only hope rests among the stars, and a father who must leave his children behind to venture to a new galaxy. Starring Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Chastain, Matt Damon, and Michael Caine, this 2014 film was a runaway success and the tenth-highest grossing film of the year. The film also garnered praise from astronomers for its scientific accuracy and portrayal of theoretical astrophysics. Now we're taking to the stars for our final trip this Chronovember with a film that's truly Interstellar!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Doctor Who first hit the airwaves in 1963 - sixty years ago! - but the TARDIS went dark in 1989 for an indefinite hiatus. In the mid-1990s, plans started brew to import the iconic British sci-fi series across the pond to America. The BBC partnered with the Fox network to produce a TV movie, which, if it performed well, could serve as the backdoor pilot for a revived series. English actor Paul McGann took over the TARDIS console as the Eighth Doctor after Sylvester McCoy's Seventh Doctor was *checks notes* brutally gunned down by a machine-gun wielding street gang on prime-time television. Co-starring American actress Daphne Ashbrook as the doctor who tries to save him (see what I did there?) with Eric Roberts hot on their heels as The Master. Unfortunately, the special presentation was not a success, and the good Doctor remained in exile until regenerating in 2005 as Christopher Eccleston. But this is Chronovember, so we're whipping out our sonic screwdrivers and partying like it's 1999!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

After lengthy delays due to director turnover, the pandemic, studio shake-ups, and behind-the-scenes drama featuring its lead actor, DC Comics' Scarlet Speedster finally raced onto movie screens this past summer. Director Andy Muscetti helmed the pic, staring Ezra Miller as a Barry Allen who goes back in time to meet another Barry Allen, Sasha Calle as Supergirl, Ben Affleck as Batman and also bringing Michael Keaton back as Batman. Despite bringing back your Dad's Batman and boasting a multiverse of meta-references, the film failed to find success in the Father's Day frame and fizzled out, making less than its production budget at the domestic box office. This all but sealed the fate of the DCEU, with James Gunn taking the reins. But don't despair! We're reuniting the crew from Crimson Comet with Haley, Rum Daddy, and Jonolobster joining to talk about The Flash one last time.

We're not ready to leave Halloween behind, so we're kicking off the month with a comedy-horror classic courtesy of Sam Raimi. After spending not one but two sylvan getaways battling Deadites courtesy of the Necronomicon Ex Mortis (in The Evil Dead and Evil Dead II: Dead By Dawn), S-Mart employee Ash Williams takes the ultimate unplugged vacation all the way back to the year 1300 in Medieval England. Up against time with an army of Deadites storming the castle, Ash must overcome the lack of technology and his own evil twin to get back to the future. Starring Bruce Campbell, the film was neither a commercial nor critical success, but has gone on to join the first two films as cult favorites. Now we're swallowing the juice, saying the magic words, and taking our chainsaw hands to Army of Darkness!   Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here:https://entertainmentcommunity.org/      For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Legends of Halloween draws to a close with a classic from the master of twists, M. Night Shyamalan himself! An isolated 19th century village is surrounded by mysterious woods filled with threatening creatures, but when a terrible crime is committed, a young woman uncovers the village's dark secret. Starring Bryce Dallas Howard, Joaquin Phoenix, Adrien Brody, William Hurt, Sigourney Weaver, and Brendan Gleeson, Shymalan's third film since his breakout hit The Sixth Sense was a box office success but disappointed critics, with Roger Ebert placing it on his "Most Hated" list. Yet with a haunting score from James Newton Howard, featuring violinist Hilary Hahn, and cinematography by Roger Deakins, there's plenty to speak of. Except for Those We Don't Speak Of.

Legends of Halloween continues with more vampire hunting action, this time coutesy of Marvel Comics! Before Bryan Singer's X-Men (2000), before Sam Raimi's Spider-Man (2002), and before Ang Lee's Hulk (2003), director Stephen Norrington launched Marvel to the big screen with his blood-drenched take on the daywalking half-vampire Blade. Played by Wesley Snipes, the film also stars Stephen Dorff as the villanous Deacon Frost and Kris Kristofferson as Blade's mentor and armorer, Whistler. The film was a commercial success, spawning two sequels and a TV series, as well as setting up the template for the Marvel Cinematic Universe films to come. With an MCU installment on the way starring Mahershala Ali, we're turning the clocks back 25 years to see if Blade still looks sharp!   Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here:https://entertainmentcommunity.org/    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Legends Podcast is getting a jumpstart on the spookiest season with the latest installment in the Ghostbusters franchise! Jason Reitman sits in the director's chair in place of his father, Ivan, who helmed the first two. Trading New York City for small-town Oklahoma and introducing a new generation of ‘busters including McKenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Logan Kim, and Celeste O'Connor, the film also stars Carrie Coon and Paul Rudd as the grownups and features cameos from the original cast. Released in 2021, the film scared up over $200 million at the box office and earned a sequel set for release next year.

We're blowing into the cartridge and pressing start on the second-biggest movie of 2023 to date! Based on several long-running video games series from Nintendo, this animated movie brings together the voice talents of Chris Pratt and Charlie Day the titular brothers, with Anya-Taylor Joy as the princess, Seth Rogan and Keegan-Michael Key as their allies, and Jack Black as the bad guy. Produced by Illumination, the studio behind the Despicable Me and Minions movies, the film super-smashed box office records to become the highest-grossing video game movie and the third highest-grossing animated movie of all time. While audiences clearly felt the Nintendo Power, critics were largely underwhelmed, citing the film as yet another rote exercise in brand expansion. Now your very own Super Podcast Bros.

Rian Johnson's 2019 mystery-comedy Knives Out carved out $311 million at the box office on a budget of $40 million, making it the second-highest-grossing original movie of the year not based on existing IP. The sequel rights set off a bidding war between the top streamers, with Netflix beating Amazon and Apple with a $469 million offer. Released December 23rd, 2022, the follow-up saw the return of Daniel Craig's Southern sleuth Benoit Blanc, with another all-star cast of characters populating the film's Greek island setting. Edward Norton, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Kathryn Hahn, Leslie Odom Jr., Jessica Henwick, Madelyn Cline, and Dave Bautista round out the who's who in this whodunnit, which received a very limited theatrical release. Now Beef and Lobster are peeling back the layers of this streaming sequel. I suspect we'll press play!

We're getting back to our regular programming with a special request from one of our listeners! Following our episode on The Road, listener Jeff shared his  recommendation for another post-apocalyptic movie. According to Jeff, “It's an old one, but it still checks out.” Released in 1977, the same year as Star Wars, and two years before Mad Max, this “road movie” see a small group of survivors of World War 3 attempt to drive across the desolate wasteland to where they hope more survivors are living, facing freakish mutated insects and other dangers along the way. Starring Jan-Michael Vincent, George Peppard, Paul Winfield, and very young Jackie Earle Haley, based on the novel by Roger Zelazny, and directed by George Smight, the movie was, to put it kindly, a flop, despite being released in the new “Sound 360” surround format. But it has earned a cult following in the years since, with Jeff among its devotees, thanks in part to the true star of the film: the wasteland-crawling armored RV called The Landmaster, designed by Dean Jeffries. As Jeff writes, “One of my favorite movies growing up - for the vehicle alone - was Damnation Alley. I'd love to hear Legends take on it.” And take it on we shall!

We're rolling the final dice of this gambling game we call Aug-Heist, and it just so happens to have 20 sides! After the 2000 film doomed the franchise to the plane of Box Office Oblivion, the Gary Gygax-created tabletop fantasy roleplaying game enjoyed a resurrection thanks to retro references in shows like Stranger Things and web series like Critical Role. Now, the prophecy has been fulfilled and a big-budget version was unleashed in theaters in March of this year. Starring Chris Pine, Michelle Robdriguez, Justice Smith, and Sophia Lillis as a band of thieves who set off to steal from the con man who wronged them, the movie earned rave reviews but didn't exactly plunder the box office. Still, it rolled high enough to spawn a franchise.

With the FBI on their tails, they must use every trick in the book to finish the tasks set by their mysterious benefactor.

Before he played Ken, Ryan Gosling portrayed a nameless driver in Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 film based on the James Sallis novel. When a Hollywood stuntman who moonlights as a getaway driver gets romantically involved with his neighbor, he is drawn into a mobster's plot and must use all his skills to stay alive. With an all-star cast including Carey Mulligan, Oscar Isaac, Bryan Cranston, Christina Hendricks, Ron Perlman, and Albert Brooks, the film won Refn the Best Director award at Cannes. Opening in second place at the box office, the fim has gone on to become a mainstay in internet movie culture - the definition of “kino.” Now we're donning our Scorpion jackets and stepping on the gas for Drive!   Donate to the Entertainment Community Fund here:https://entertainmentcommunity.org/    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

And we're on to the film that launched Wes Anderson's directing career! Starring real-life brothers Luke Wilson and Owen Wilson as non-brothers Anthony and Dignan, two friends who commit felonies for fun, along with Robert Musgrave as their friend Bob and real-life third Wilson brother Andrew Wilson as Bob's in-movie brother Future Man and returning Aug-Heist con man James Caan, this caper was made for $5 million but only grossed about $500,000. Nevertheless, critics did take note, with Martin Scorcese going so far as to call it one of his favorite films of the decade. Far from a dud, the film lit Anderson's fuse and set his career on a stellar trajectory.

When a group of seafaring thieves set out to rob a luxury ocean liner, they find a mysterious monster has beaten them to the punch - and they're about to be eaten for lunch! Starring Treat Williams, Famke Janssen, Wes Studi, Kevin J. O'Connor, and Anthony Heald, this heist-slash-disaster-slash-monster movie genre mash-up was written and directed by The Mummy's Stephen Sommers.

Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg, and Nick Frost followed up Shuan of the Dead with the second installment of their now so-called Three Flavours Cornetto Triology - or, alternatively, the “Blood and Ice Cream” trilogy - trading zombie movie rom-com parody for buddy cop movies (Point Break or Bad Boys II?) and rural paranoia thrillers like The Wicker Man. When top London cop Nicholas Angel is transferred to a quaint countryside village and is saddled with inept partner, he begins to suspect that the town may be hiding a dark secret. Featuring Jim Broadbent, Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Olivia Colman, and a whole village's worth of stalwart British stars, the film was an instant hit and proved to be the highest-grossing “flavour” of the three.

Based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this post-apocalyptic “road movie” pairs Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee as father and son traversing a hostile landscape. Co-starring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Michael K. Williams, Garrett Dillahunt, and Guy Pearce - in about one scene each - the film presents a stark and desolate landscape ravaged by a civilization-ending calamity. (And no wonder - they shot it in Pittsburgh!) Following McCarthy's passing last month at age 89, we're hitting The Road to see how the pic based on an Oprah's Book Club pick holds up.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Director Rachel Mason set out to make a documentary about her parents' bookstores in the West Hollywood and Silver Lake neighborhoods of Los Angeles. For much of her childhood, Karen and Barry Mason kept the nature of their business a secret from Rachel and her brothers, but the children later learned that their mother and father's stores were at the center of gay culture in L.A. In a true story that spans the struggle for gay rights, the porn industry, the AIDS crisis, the moral panic of the 1980s, and the effects of the internet on brick-and-mortar establishments. Along the way, Mason uncovered her mother's connection to Hustler publisher Larry Flynt, her father's near arrest on federal felony charges, her brother's harrowing coming-out story, and the importance of her parents' store to the development of gay life in L.A.

Based on a true story - sort of - this Elizabeth Banks-directed film bit off a chunk of the box office earlier this year. In the style of Snakes on a Plane and Sharknado, its absurd title promised campy animal chaos that audiences needed to see to believe. When a drug smuggler dumps kilos of Columbian cocaine on Blood Mountain in the Chattahoochee National Forest in Georgia, a bear then snorts the coke and goes on a bloody bender. Starring Keri Russell, Ray Liota, Margo Martindale, Isaiah Whitlock Jr., Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Alden Ehrenreich, O'Shea Jackson, some kids and a CGI black bear, the film packs in scares, gags, and gore into 90-minutes of drug-fueled ursine rampage. When the movie is called Cocaine Bear, you have to wonder if it's up to snuff or simply unbearable to watch.    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

*******SPOILER ALERT****** (MINOR SPOILERS FOR RANDOM ISH STARTING AT ABOUT 45MINS .. sorry beef forgot the alerts!!) Based on a true story, this 2014 film follows a group of gay and lesbian activists who lend their support to a Welsh mining village during the 1984-1985 miners' strike, uniting two very different communities in the process. Starring Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, George MacKay, Joseph Gilgun, and Ben Schnetzer, the film written by Stephen Beresford and directed by Matthew Warchus received critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination. Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher's Britain, the film incorporates historical details and enough recognizable British talent to appeal to the Harry Potter crowd, but didn't exactly strike paydirt at the box office.

After a successful franchise reboot with Batman Begins, auteur director Christopher Nolan leaned into the gritty aspects of the comic with a grounded take on the Clown Prince of Crime as the lead villain in a mob-centric tale of Gotham City. Christian Bale once again dons the Batsuit alongside Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and Gary Oldman, with Heath Ledger joining the cast as Joker, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent, and Maggie Gyllenhaal taking over for Katie Holmes as Rachel Dawes. The sequel wildly outperformed the first installment, bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office and becoming the highest-grossing film of 2008. Heath Ledger's performance earned multiple awards, including the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor - awarded posthumously following the actor's untimely death of a drug overdose prior to the film's release. We've fired up the Bat Signal to summon Wing back to the Legends Cave to talk The Dark Knight and answer the immortal question: “WHY SO SERIOUS?”   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Stand-up comic and SNL star Eddie Murphy broke out on the big screen in Eighties movies like 48 Hrs and Trading Places, but his biggest box office successes came while playing Axel Foley, a street-smart Detroit detective as a fish-out-of-water in Beverly Hills, California. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and Don Simpson, the first two films were huge hits commercially and critically, and while the third film (directed by John Landis) was panned, it still brought in enough to put the franchise over $700 million at the box office. Oh, and the movie brought us the tune made famous by Crazy Frog. We're wrapping up a month of Eighties classics with Beverly Hills Cop!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

One of John Hughes's most well-know films and decade-defining teem comedy, this ensemble film was made for a million and it is still playing on cable TV. Often imitated but never remade - at  lease not yet, anyway- Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Emilio Estevez, Ally Sheedy, and Anthony Michael Hall star as five high schoolers serving Saturday detention in suburban Chicago high school under the watchful eye of an assistant principal, played by Paul Gleason. Joining us this week is a special guest author and podcaster D.X. Ferris to review a Brat Pack classic. Does that answer your question? Sincerely your... The Breakfast Club

Writer-director John Hughes made his mark on ‘80s cinema with the National Lampoon's Vacation films and his Brat Pack teen comedies. By the late ‘80s, he'd transitioned to writing more “grown-up” comedies, starting with 1987's Planes, Trains and Automobiles. Continuing his partnership with actor John Candy in The Great Outdoors, which Hughes wrote, and then the next film he directed, released in 1989. Starring Candy as a bachelor uncle called upon to care for his nieces and nephew in the Chicago suburbs, this family comedy brought Hughes and Candy together with young actor Macaulay Culkin, who went on to star in another Hughes/Candy project: Home Alone. But this time, the kids aren't left home alone… Uncle Buck's here, and he's making pancakes with a shovel.

With Arnold Schwarzenegger's star rising in the early 80s, the Austrian bodybuilder filmed his first sequel, a follow-up to his 1982 role in the John Millius sword-and-sorcery epic Conan the Barbarian. Based on the works of Robert E. Howard, the Raffaella De Laurentiis production brought back Mako from the first film and introduced Grace Jones, Wilt Chamberlain, Tracey Walter, and Olivia d'Abo to the Hyborian Age. Written by two Marvel Comics authors, with less gore and more humor than the original, director Richard Fliescher stepping in for Millius, and creature effects by Carlo Rambaldi, the film was less financially successful than the first, perhaps overshadowed by Schwarzenegger's true breakout role in another film released the same year: The Terminator. Between the time when the oceans drank Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Aryas, there was an age undreamed of. The franchise was done in two, and hither came Conan… the Destoyer!    For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

In the early Eighties, Martin Scorcese was struggling to get The Last Temptation of Christ into production. After Paramount abandoned the adaptation, Scorcese decided instead to focus on smaller, independent projects. The script for this 1985 black comedy came to him by way of his lawyer, was written as an assignment for a film class, inspired by a surrealist monologue, and later infused with dialogue from Kafka by Scorcese. The result was a cult classic, recently inducted into the Criterion Collection, starring Griffin Dunne, Rosanna Arquette, Linda Fiorentino, Teri Garr, Catherine O'Hara, and John Heard. While it wasn't a box office hit, it earned Scorcese the Best Dirctor trophy at Cannes and Universal soon expressed interest in making Last Temptation. Didn't you hear?

Fifteen years ago, the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off with a grounded take on one of their most ____ characters ever. Debuting in 1963, genius billionaire playboy philanthropist Tony Stark became a founding member of the Avengers and also an alcoholic. For the film, director Jon Favreau and producer Kevin Feige cast Robert Downey, Jr., an actor with his own history of substance abuse. Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Terrance Howard round out the cast of what was only 2008's eighth-highest grossing film. (For context, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came in at #2 and Hancock was #4.) Nevertheless, the film launched what would become a blockbuster film and TV universe that currently stands at 31 films with over $28 billion made at the box office, with Downey Jr. becoming Hollywood's highest-paid actor. But is the first film of the franchise as ironclad as we remember, or is it looking a little rusty these days? The truth is… I am IRON MAN!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''. Please subscribe and give us a positive review.

Director Robert Rodriguez teaming up with famed comic creator Frank Miller to bring the pages of Miller's noir-soaked graphic novel to life. Co-directed by Miller (with a scene by Quentin Tarantino), this anthology movie draws not only its inspiration from the page - in many cases, it's a shot-for-shot recreation of the book's stylized black-and-white art. Starring too many people to name in a podcast intro, the film delivers standout performances from Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Benicio del Toro, Clive Owen and Rosario Dawson. For a hyperviolent, Hard R comic book movie, the film was a commercial success, earning almost four times its production budget and garnering critical acclaim.

Following his breakout success with American Beauty, director Sam Mendes had a variety of projects to choose from, including films like A Beautiful Mind, K-PAX, and The Shipping News. Mendes chose instead to adapt a graphic novel about a hitman and his son on the run in the Prohibition Era Midwest. Starring Tom Hanks, Jude Law, Stanley Tucci, a pre-Bond Daniel Craig, and featuring Paul Newman in his last on-screen film role, the film draws on gangster flicks, Kurosawa, Once Upon a Time in America, and Lone Wolf and Cub to bring the story from page to screen. Nominated for six Academy Awards, cinematographer Conrad L. Hall won a posthumous Oscar for his work, and Tom Hanks himself counts his turn as hitman Michael Sullivan among his most underrated roles.

Thirty-six years after the original film, a sequel to Top Gun was finally released. Develoment started in 2010 but was delayed by the death of director Tony Scott. Production began in 2017 with the hiring of Joseph Kosinski as director, with filming taking place in 2018 and 2019, with a release date pushed back several times due to the complex shoot and, of course, the pandemic. Multiple streaming outlets attempted to purchase the film, but returning star and producer Tom Cruise remained adamant that the film be released exclusively in theaters - which occurred last Memorial Day weekend. The wait proved worth it as the film grossed almost $1.5 billion worldwide, making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2022 and the highest-grossing film of Cruise's career. The film won multiple awards, including an Oscar for Best Sound and was nominated for Best Picture. Among its many achievements, the film is largely credited with “bringing people back to the theaters” after over two years of relatively low interest.

Director Joel Schumacher was well-known for bring a dark and stylish flair to his films, from teenage vampires in The Lost Boys to benippled Batmen in in his neon-soaked Gotham City. By contrast, his 1993 potboiler starring Michael Douglas and Robert Duvall stands in the unflinching glare of the Los Angeles summer sun, with two middle-aged men on a collision course for a sunset showdown on the Venice Pier. Critics were mixed at the time of the film's release, with Douglas's character seen as the embodiment of the “angry white man” stereotype. The passage of time may have been less kind, as character's attitudes towards multiculturalism and political correctness serve as cable news talk show and chat room fodder for the far right. But right or wrong, left or right, this week's movie is Falling Down… and that's what's up!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

Director Danny Boyle made his big-screen debut with a shoestring budget film about four Scottish flatmates - one deceased - and a suitcase full of cash. This black comedy film, co-written by frequent Boyle collaborator John Hodge, raked in the most cash of any British film of 1995, even through the crew had to auction off props during production to buy more film stock in order to keep shooting. Starring Ewan McGregor, Christopher Eccleston, and Kerry Fox, the film was primarily shot in Glasgow as the city's film fund offered them a £150,000 grant.

Director Rick Famuyiwa went from USC film school grad to Sundance darling to the Star Wars universe and was even the second of five directors attached to direct The Flash movie for WB DC.

Spike Lee's third film, released in 1989, presented a day-in-the-life portrait of a neighborhood: Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, on the hottest day of the year. Boasting an all-star cast including Lee, Danny Aiello, Ossie Davis, Ruby Dee, Richard Edson, Giancarlo Esposito, Bill Nunn, John Turturro, and Samuel L. Jackson, along with the feature film debuts of Martin Lawrence and Rosie Perez, the film was a hit at Cannes and a critical and commercial success. Widely regarded as one of the greatest films ever made, its release was also marked by controversy over its content and depictions of racism, with some commentators expressing the fear that audiences might riot after seeing it. More than thirty years after its release, the message of the film is starkly relevant.

Writer-director Jordan Peele followed up his genre-bending breakout hit Get Out with Us, a straightforward horror film. For his third outing, Peele returned to the mash-up: this time mixing neo-Western with a Close Encounters of the Third Kind (and a bit of Jaws thrown in, but we'll get to that.) Daniel Kaluuya and Keke Palmer star as siblings who inherit one of Hollywood's oldest working horse ranches, only to find out that some else has made their range its home. In a week when the country has been beset by unidentified flying objects - purported to be Chinese balloons - we're each keeping one nervous eye on the sky while we watch this week's movie.

Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe concluded last year with the release of Ryan Coogler's follow-up to 2018's Black Panther. Following the unexpected death of Chadwick Boseman in 2020 from colon cancer, Marvel chose not to recast the role, instead allowing the mantle to pass, in the film, to a new Black Panther, as had happened many times before in the comics. Marvel did not, however, advertise who the new Black Panther would be prior to the film's release. For the sequel, a new threat is introduced in the form of Namor, the Sub-Mariner, of the underwater realm of Atlantis. It's better down where it's wetter, so we're rallying to the battle cry of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're ending the Most Dangerous Month where it began, with a remake of the 1932 classic based on the 1924 short story reimagined as a TV show released in short episodes on a steaming app in 2020, and then on another streaming service in 2021 when the first streaming service went bankrupt, and finally re-edited as a movie and released on a third streaming service in 2022. Look, we told you this month was dangerous! Longtime listeners will remember Hashtag #QuibiSucks, when we covered the rise and fall of the Jeffrey Katzenberg-backed steaming experiment in short-form television. After Quibi went under, Roku purchased and repurposed many shows from the Quibi library on their platform, including this one starring Liam Hemworth and Christoph Waltz. Now renewed for a second season, Amazon Prime has also released a movie-length compilation of the series - and that's what we watched, because this a movie podcast.

We're continuing the Most Dangerous Month with another movie with a controversial history. From director Craig Zobel and horror producer Jason Blum, this politically charged take on the human hunting genre was pulled from release after two high profile mass shootings. In the meantime, it became a cause célèbre over its alleged portrayal of a certain red-hat wearing demographic. Ultimately, the film was released in theaters on Friday the Thirteenth - of March 2020: the very week the Covid-19 pandemic shut down every movie theater in the country. Three days later, the film was released on PVOD, and no one paid any attention because they were too busy hoarding toilet paper. Now we're checking out The Hunt to see if it's really as deplorable as people said it was on Twitter.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.

We're continuing the Most Dangerous Month with a British invasion and the film formerly known as Boyz in the Wood. The debut film from music video director Ninian Doff tells the tale of four boys from the mean streets of Glasgow on a Duke of Edinburgh Award wilderness trip to the highlands of Scotland. When they find themselves being hunted, possibly by the Duke himself, they'll have to work together to survive. The movie premiered at SXSW where it won the Midnighters Audience Award  and was picked up by Amazon for release exclusively on the Prime Video streaming service in 2020.
