Legends of Halloween gets in touch with its inner girl with a 1992 “satirical surrealistic black comedy fantasy film” - and yes, that’s how Wikipedia categorizes it. Directed by Back to the Future and Who Framed Roger Rabbit? Helmer Robert Zemeckis, this film defied categorization just as hard as its main characters defy the laws of nature. Meryl Steep and Goldie Hawn star as two image-obsessed rivals for the affection of plastic surgeon-turned-cosmetic mortician Bruce Willis, when they both learn that the secret to eternal youth comes with a price. “Now, a warning?!” Featuring what were revolutionary computer-generated effects, which won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects, the film went on to become a cult classic, especially in the queer community, and will soon bow on Broadway as a musical. Now, we are become Death, viewers of Death Becomes Her!

Legends of Halloween is back for another spooky season with a throwback from twenty years ago, which is itself a throwback to the classic Universal Monster movies. Director Stephen Sommers had found success five years earlier in reanimating another Universal monster, The Mummy, with the Legend of ‘99 film starring Brendan Fraser. Here he tries to recapture the magic that led to Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s movie career with a Hugh Jackman-starring take on the classics Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Wolf Man. While the resultant film did “stake” a claim at the box office (to the sum of $300 million) it was D.O.A. with film critics (the same ones who hated The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, another literary mash-up released the year prior) and plans for a franchise were quickly buried. But God Himself can’t erase our memories - we watched Van Helsing, so you’re going to hear about it… Dammit!

Nineteen-eighty-four launched a number of sci-fi/comedy franchises, including Ghostbusters, Gremlins, The Toxic Avenger, and the continuation of series like Star Trek and Indiana Jones. Meanwhile, action/comedies like Beverly Hills Cop and Romancing the Stone found success with audiences. Overall, theatergoers preferred lighter fare as opposed to weighty adaptations like Dune and, well, 1984. So what better time to release a movie about a physicist, neurosurgeon, test pilot, rock star, and secret agent - and that’s just the main character. Starring Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Christopher Lloyd, Jeff Goldblum, Clancy Brown, and Ellen Barkin, the film by writer Earl Mac Rauch and director W. D. Richter seemed set up to be an instant Eighties classic - except no one went to see it. Although its franchise hopes cratered on impact, the improbably titled film has earned a cult following in the forty years since, while its many stars became Eighties icons themselves. Join us we follow The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension… because no matter where you go, there you are.

We’re joined by listener Jeff to present his exhaustive (and exhausting) take on Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon director’s cut! Clocking in at six hours and seventeen minutes, Jeff took on the Herculean task of watching the entire saga in one sitting, whilst taking copious notes. After he shared them with us a few weeks ago, we decided that the only way we would be able to properly honor his sacrifice would be to invite Jeff himself to join us on the show. So, for the first time in the history of movie podcast, a listener is going to review a movie that we three hosts could not bring ourselves to watch. This is it, folks. This is the big one. It’s Rebel Moon, the Director’s Cut, Chapter One: Chalice of Blood and Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness, as told to us by listener Jeff!

We're back with a film about filmmaking, spycraft and celebrity, starring the one and only Nicolas Cage. In the movie, Cage plays a fictionalized version of himself, down on his luck and struggling to connect with his teenage daughter, when a wealthy fan (who may or may not be a kidnapper and arms dealer) makes Cage an offer he can't refuse. Co-starring Pedro Pascal, this two-hander is equal parts bromance, action-comedy, and homage to Cage’s lengthy career. And while director Tom Gormican’s debut flopped at the box office despite positive reviews, it has become a meme-fueled cult hit in the two years since its release. Now we'll find out if we can withstand - or will we be squashed beneath? - The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent!

I am awaited! After a long time away, a bombastic veteran makes a triumphant return to the stage that made him famous. I’m talking, of course, about director George Miller, the driving force behind the Mad Max films since the first one hit the gas in 1979. Earlier this year, the latest installment of the Mad Max saga roared into cinemas… but for the first time, Max Rockatansky was not one of the lead characters. Instead, the film focuses on telling the origin story of Furiosa, played by Charlize Theron in the last outing, Fury Road, here played by Anya Taylor-Joy, with Alyla Brown playing her as the child. With many characters familiar to Fury Road fans, this prequel forges enough connective tissue to feel part the saga sans Max, while Chris Hemsworth’s Dementus provides a worthy adversary. That said, audiences themselves didn’t make the trek to the theater, with the film barely surpassing its production budget at the box office. So what are we to make of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga? Is it a prequel that delivers the goods, or does this doomsday detour deserve to be lost in the Wasteland forever?

Aug-Heist takes things to the next level with this 2012 thriller about a suicidal man, a stolen diamond, and good old fashioned insurance fraud! With a stacked cast including Sam Worthington, Elizabeth Banks, Anthony Mackie, Jamie Bell, Edward Burns, Kyra Sedgewick, and Ed Harris, the film has all the makings of a genre classic. But it did a bellyflop at the box office and cratered with critics. Was the title a little too “high concept” for audiences, or did the plot twists give viewers vertigo? Don’t look down… Aug-Heist will take its last leap for 2024 with Man on a Ledge!
