Sophmoric, misogynistic, violent, and incredibly influential, this Canadian animated feature based on the science fiction magazine and featuring comedians from SCTV is equal parts terrible and awesome, and really brings out our inner teenage dirtbags. Also, we look at Richard Corben's original animated short Neverwhere, the basis for the comic book character Den and his segment of the film. Starring John Candy, Rodger Bumpass, Jackie Burroughs, Joe Flaherty, Don Francks, Eugene Levy, Alice Playten, Harold Ramis, and more. Written by Daniel Goldberg and Len Blum. Directed by Gerald Potterton. Based on original stories by Richard Corben, Angus McKie, Dan O'Bannon, and a really unimpressed and uncredited Jean "Moebius" Giraud.

Legend is a 1985 American epic dark fantasy adventure film directed and initiated by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, and Annabelle Lanyon. The film revolves around Jack, a pure being who must stop the Lord of Darkness who plots to cover the world with eternal night.  Although not a commercial success when first released, the film would find audiences after its release in the booming 80's home video market and through repeat playing on cable networks. The film has gone on to become a cult classic, especially after a Director's Cut was released.

Today I begin Forgotten Broadway, a new miniseries within my summer series “Musical Life in New York City 1950-1975.” This wildly eclectic (some might say chaotic) program, the first of three, concerns itself with several different aspects of “forgotten” Broadway: forgotten songs, forgotten shows, and forgotten performers; as well as all imaginable combinations of the above. For instance, many might not remember the show Drat! the Cat! but will remember quite well the song “He [originally She] Touched Me.” Everyone remembers Ethel Merman and Angela Lansbury, but I would bet that fewer remember their less successful shows Happy Hunting and Dear World. This episode includes songs by Richard Rodgers, Jule Styne, Bob Merrill, Wright and Forrest, and Comden and Green, as well as lesser known composers and lyricists such as Claibe Richardson, Bill and Patti Jacob, and Ervin Drake, sung by such stalwarts as Leslie Uggams, Barbara Cook, Alfred Drake, and Barbra Streisand, as well as such blazing (but less remembered figures) such as Alice Playten, Dolores Gray, Mimi Hines, and June Carroll. Such recently departed figures as Micki Grant, Kenward Elmslie, Sally Ann Howes, and Donald Pippin also receive airplay. Part II will be published in two weeks, and Part III will soon be available as a bonus episode for my Patreon subscribers. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing. By clicking on the following link (https://linktr.ee/CountermelodyPodcast) you can find the dedicated Countermelody website which contains additional content including artist photos and episode setlists. The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly support at whatever level you can afford. Bonus episodes available exclusively to Patreon supporters are currently available and further bonus content including interviews and livestreams is planned for the upcoming season.

“You think you have won! What is light without dark? What are you without me? I am a part of you all. You can never defeat me. We are brothers eternal!” In this episode, we discuss the criminally under-seen film from director Ridley Scott: Legend! as well as briefly reviewing the films we logged on our Letterboxd dairies in the past week. — TIME CODES: 00:00 - INTRO 02:59 - BASIC FACTS 05:25 - THE MEAT 45:26 - WHAT WE WATCHED — Legend (1985) “Set in a timeless mythical forest inhabited by fairies, goblins, unicorns and mortals, this fantastic story follows a mystical forest dweller, chosen by fate, to undertake a heroic quest. He must save the beautiful Princess Lili and defeat the demonic Lord of Darkness, or the world will be plunged into a never-ending ice age.” Directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, and Peter O'Farrell.

Rumor Mill: Tom Cruise in a Legend 2. John's story when hearing this. ‘Furiosa' Synopsis Teases the Return of ‘Fury Road' Villain Immortan Joe.Frank Grillo against werewolves in the absolutely bananas Year 2.Described as “The Purge with werewolves”, Year 2 is the wild and crazy story about the return of a supermoon which, on its last appearance just a year earlier, turned anybody touched by moonlight into a werewolf!Tonight's Movie?  Legend 1985Darkness (Tim Curry) seeks to create eternal night by destroying the last of the unicorns. Jack (Tom Cruise) and his friends do everything possible to save the world and Princess Lili (Mia Sara) from the hands of Darkness. Enter a world of unicorns, magic swamps, dwarfs and rainbows.Release date: April 18, 1986 (USA)Director: Ridley ScottStarring: Tom Cruise; Mia Sara; Tim Curry; David Bennent; Alice Playten; Billy Barty; Cork HubbertMusic by: Jerry Goldsmith; (European version and director's cut); Tangerine Dream; (US version)According to an IMDb blip, Tom Cruise reportedly wasn't happy with the American cut of this movie and wouldn't talk about it for years because of it. He very much encouraged fans to go with the Director's Cut. For years, it was falsely rumored that this film was the source of inspiration for Shigeru Miyamoto's 'The Legend of Zelda' games.The movie notoriously had 4 cuts and 2 soundtracks. European and Directors Cut has Jerry Goldsmith score and the tv and theatrical cuts have boss tracks from Tangerine Dream.Rumors are during production issues, someone suggested the movie get Disney method. Story evolved from Ridley telling the screenwriter a basic idea of a Grimms fairy tale inspired hero fighting some evil and also to reference the book Faeries. There is a flirtatious deleted scene between Darkness and Princess; the original script took it even farther with a sex scene because the movie was going to be R rated for grown ups. Eludes screen rant movie website. Our favorite bits from Legend 1985 include the seduction dancing dress scene and the creation of “Lady Darkness.”We also watched Umbrella Academy Season 3 which just got released.  We appreciate it tying up loose ends and maybe leaving it open for another season.We put a staff pick spotlight on a new dramedy called The Bear. The Bear is on Hulu and we think it is the most accurate portrayal of a working kitchen's energy and attitudes.The Starfleet Leadership Academy is an award-winning Leadership Development Podcast Told Through the Lens of Star Trek. https://www.starfleetleadership.academyListen now at: https://www.bwpodcast.com/recent-episodesSubscribe for new content: https://bit.ly/SUBBWPODHorror movies.

Little do they know, however, that the Lord of Darkness has dispatched his minions to capture the unicorns and sever their horns so that he may plunge the world into everlasting night. After Lili and the unicorns are taken prisoner, Jack must team with a group of forest creatures and descend into Darkness' subterranean lair to face off with the devilish creature before it is too late.

Part two of the ninth episode of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO continues the analysis and discussion of the music written for the separate cuts of Ridley Scott's 1985 epic dark fantasy adventure film, LEGEND, featuring music by Jerry Goldsmith (European Cut) and Tangerine Dream (American Cut). The conversation continues with an in-depth look at three more sequences; Jack accepting weapons and armour to become The Champion, a bewitched and seduced Lili dancing and the fall of Darkness. Joining fill-in host, Erik Woods, is the host of THE ARCHIVE, Jason Drury, host of OBSCURE SCORES, Robert Daniels and CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO's in-house composer and host of COMPOSER CONVERSATIONS, David Coscina. LEGEND is a 1985 epic dark fantasy adventure directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, and Annabelle Lanyon. The film revolves around Jack (Cruise), a pure being who must stop the Lord of Darkness (Curry) who plots to cover the world with eternal night. The original score for the film was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded by the legendary Mike Ross-Trevor. However, due to the massive changes made from the European version to the American version of the film, it was decided to remove Goldsmith's score and have the German electronic group, Tangerine Dream, write and perform a new score. Jerry Goldsmith's original motion picture score is available on Silva Screen Records and Tangerine Dreams score is available through Varese Sarabande Records.

The ninth episode of SOUNDTRACK ALLEY here on CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO features a bit of a different format than other SOUNDTRACK ALLEY episodes. Regular host, Randy Andrews, decided to skip this episode and left it up to Erik Woods to host and moderate a roundtable discussion about the film, LEGEND. Joining Erik is the host of THE ARCHIVE, Jason Drury, host of OBSCURE SCORES, Robert Daniels and CINEMATIC SOUND RADIO's in-house composer and host of COMPOSER CONVERSATIONS, David Coscina. LEGEND is a 1985 epic dark fantasy adventure directed by Ridley Scott and starring Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, Tim Curry, David Bennent, Alice Playten, Billy Barty, Cork Hubbert, and Annabelle Lanyon. The film revolves around Jack (Cruise), a pure being who must stop the Lord of Darkness (Curry) who plots to cover the world with eternal night. Although the film wasn't a critical hit it did win the British Society of Cinematographers Award for Best Cinematography for Alex Thomson, as well as being nominated for multiple other awards including an Oscar nomination for Best Makeup and BAFTA nominations for Best Costume Design, Best Makeup Artist, and Best Special Visual Effects. The original score for the film was composed and conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, performed by The National Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded by the legendary Mike Ross-Trevor. However, due to the massive changes made from the European version to the American version of the film, it was decided to remove Goldsmith's score and have the German electronic group, Tangerine Dream, write and perform a new score. In part one of our look at the production of LEGEND and the use of music in both versions, Erik, Jason, Robert and David talk about various topics including when they first saw the film, which version of the film they like, the film's production design, the gorgeous cinematography, Ridley Scott's history as a director, a comparison of Jerry Goldsmith's and Tangerine Dream's scores and a detailed comparison of “The Unicorn” sequence, which Goldsmith and Tangerine both scored. In addition, David Coscina's participation in this discussion offers a unique perceptive to the program as he brings his expertise as a composer to the table and provides detailed musical analysis of both scores and performs specific sections of each score on his piano to help paint a clear picture as to what the composers were bringing to the film. Jerry Goldsmith's original motion picture score is available on Silva Screen Records and Tangerine Dreams score is available through Varese Sarabande Records. Part two of the program, where we compare more cues from each score, will be made available shortly.

“Ridley Scott does Labyrinth” is really how this movie should be billed (and yes, we know that Legend came out first). Get ready for our first truly divisive movie! Molly hates it, Jen loves it -  although, we can both agree we would 100% happily stay with Darkness. First order of business - take a Zyrtec and batten down the hatches because the amount of pollen/cotton floating around is upsetting. This week, we talk retinols, the crouching power pose (#dickout), and unicorn purity culture. Rate and review, otherwise Darkness will make you his bride...on second thought, rate and review, otherwise Darkness WON’T make you his bride.
