  • When the skies are filling with black, apocalyptic clouds and locusts, what do you do?

    Well, if you're Jeep Hanson in 2010's dark modern fantasy Legion, you stare at it blankly for a moment before casually going back to whatever you were doing before and telling absolutely no one.

    This week on The CineMeh Podcast, Josh and Ryan puzzle their way through an astonishingly inept tale of good versus evil, angels versus demons, the end of the world as we know it if not for the coming of a second christ child, and what happens when you put Paul Bettany into a movie that badly... BADLY wants to be Terminator.

    Come for the dogmatic discussion, stay for the absolute absurdity of writing, clunkiness of dialogue, and derivative nature of almost every single move this film makes.

    With a cast that can be enthusiastically described as B-, except for a few standouts like Vision and Lt. Tuck Pendleton (that's right 80's fans, that's an Innerspace reference!) and a writing team that clearly wanted to be making a different movie, Legion aims to please no one and succeeds.

    Legion was released in 2010 and stars Paul Bettany, Dennis Quaid, Adrianne Palicki, Tyrese Gibson, Kevin Durand, and I guess kinda Lucas Black, but he's not really sure most of the movie if he should be acting or just staring at things.
