Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s self-published comic, the absurdly-titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, hit shelves 40 years ago. Since then, it's been a Saturday morning cartoon (or three), two live-action movie franchises, a toy aisle staple, and a dubious rock-n-roll stage show. The latest animated iteration, from Seth Rogan, Evan Goldberg, and Mitchells vs. The Machines director Jeff Rowe, updates the Heroes in a Halfshell for Gen Z, with actual teenagers voicing the turtles! The film also includes an all-star cast, with Ayo Edebiri, Ice Cube, Jackie Chan, and introducing Paul Rudd as Mondo Gecko. The film was a hit, with a TV show and sequel film on the way. But does the film live up to the franchise’s high points, or is it a case of turt-little, turt-late? Hitting the sewers to find out as we talk Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem!

Legends has reached that fateful number - Six Hundred Sixty-Six - and we’re celebrating with an appropriately devilish movie. After his wife delivers a stillborn baby, an American diplomat adopts an orphan. Then, a series of mysterious circumstances lead him to suspect the boy may be the Antichrist. Starting Gregory Peck, Lee Remick, David Warner, Billie Whitelaw, and Harvey Stephens as Damien, directed by Richard Donner, the 1976 film was a box office hit that spawned multiple sequels and a TV series. More recently, a direct remake of the first film was released in 2006 and a TV series, Damien, aired in 2016. We’re going back to the film that started it all, as it was foretold. But does The Omen give the Devil his due, or has it gone to the dogs?

Football season may be over, but we’re going into overtime with an ESPN documentary from the 30 for 30 series. From 1990 to 1993, the Buffalo Bills ascended to the heights of NFL greatness, winning four consecutive AFC Championships. With a locker room filled with big personalities, including future Hall of Famers Jim Kelly, Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, and Andre Reed, led by legendary coach Marv Levy, the Bills are not remembered for punching their ticket to the Big Game four years in a row. No, they’re remembered for losing. All. Four. Narrated by actor and Bills fan Willaim Fichtner, the doc ties into Lobster and Beef’s childhood memories and Rum Daddy’s early editing career. But thirty years after the Buffalo Bills’ last trip to the Super Bowl, is Four Falls of Buffalo worth falling for or does it fumble at the one-yard line?

We're doing the other half of Barbenheimer with Christopher Nolan’s biopic about the head scientist behind the Manhattan Project! Starring Cillian Murphy as the titular physicist, the film features an all-star cast including Emily Blunt, Florence Pugh, Matt Damon, and Robert Downey Jr. The first film Nolan released with a studio other than Warner Brothers, bringing in $959.9 million for Universal. Oppenheimer has already won multiple awards, but at 3 hours long, is it a weapon of mass destruction or a masterpiece? How many times will we say nucular - nuclear - during this ‘cast?

Happy Valentimes! Legends Podcast is getting in the mood with a classic rom-com from 2009. Starring Sandra Bullock (2009’s The Blind Side) and Ryan Reynolds (2009’s X-Men Origins: Wolverine) as a publishing exec and her assistant who try to pull off a Green Card marriage, the film was a hit that grossed over $300 million at the box office. Helmed by Anne Fletcher, the director of 27 Dresses, and co-starring Betty White, Mary Steenburgen, and Craig T. Nelson, the film’s rom-com pedigree seems unimpeachable, but does it hold up to today's scrutiny at 15? Is The Proposal the perfect date night movie, or should you swipe left?

Emerald Fennell played Midge in Barbie last week, but she is the director of this week's movie. When an Oxford scholarship student befriends the son of a wealthy family, their summer holiday is filled with sex, lies, and bathtub shenanigans. Starring Barry Keough, Jacob Elordi, Rosamund Pike, Richard E. Grant, and introducing Alison Oliver, the film had a limited theatrical run before becoming one of Amazon Prime’s most-streamed movies. However, the film did not receive a single nod at the recently-annunced Academy Awards nominations. Now we’re flashing back to the summer of 2007 to check out Saltburn! Will we yearn for the ‘burn or will it leave us feeling salty?

The cinematic cultural phenomenon known only as Barbenheimer roller-bladed into theaters last summer with the force of an atomic explosion. The double-feature from those ingenues of cinema verite, Greta Gerwig and Christopher Nolan, promised to be the box office event of the summer, along with all the meme culture meets pop culture cachet that came with it. While both films performed well, the former won the battle, with the long-gestating film based on Mattel’s bestselling doll bringing in over a billion dollars at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing film of 2023. With Margot Robbie in the title role leading an all-star cast, including Ryan Gosling as Ken, the pink-drenched flick’s production department caused a national paint shortage of its signature hue. Now we’re just three hosts living in a Barbie world, having an existential crisis, thinking about dying and looking fabulous while doing it!

Director Zach Snyder signed on to make a Star Wars movie back in 2012, shortly after the franchise was purchased by Disney. When that film never materialized, Snyder redeveloped the project for Netflix in the shape of Rebel Moon, a sci-fi epic about an evil empire determined to crush an uprising on a distant colony. Part one of two-part opening debuted late last month, quickly becoming the top film on the streamer despite negative reviews. Part Two debuts in April with an R-rated director’s cut on the way. Snyder has stated plans for the IP to expand into other media, including games, comics, and animation. Now we’re heading to somewhere that might just be a galaxy far, far away for Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire!

We’re kicking off 2024 with an absolute banger from last year: the long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Where the first film introduced us to Miles, Gwen, Peter B., and taught us that anyone can wear the mask, the new film blows the dimensional barrier wide open and calls in the Spider Society, a league of extraordinary arachnids with the mission to protect the multiverse. With stunning visuals, an amazing soundtrack, and more… well, more everything than the first one, the film seems primed to score a repeat win for Best Animated Feature of the Year. But somehow audiences were disappointed that it only tells half the story.  Alright, people, let’s do this one last time!

The final film in Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkein’s The Lord of the Rings came to a conclusion twenty years ago this month. Following the success of the first two films, the question remained whether the third could meet the expectation - and the hype - in the days leading up to its release. Needless to say, the film was a hit on an epic scale, coming in as the top film of 2003 and the first film to cross the billion-dollar mark since Titanic. Aside from financial success, the film was hailed as one of the greatest cinematic achievements of all time, delivering a satisfying conclusion to the trilogy and earning praise on every level of production. At the 76th Academy Awards, the film took home an Oscar in all eleven categories for which it was nominated, including Best Picture. Only one film can wear the crown of greatest fantasy epic ever made - is it The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King?

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!

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!

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. Run, Barry, run!

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!

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. Welcome to The Village!
