Legend

Well, there's no tic-tac-toe here or anything, but, uh, Just a bunch of squares? Just four corners.

But yeah, we are back together for the first time in a while, and we are doing another Horror Adjacent review.

And this time...

It was Kevin's pick, which has been on the docket for a long time, and it just happened to make sense to save it for this time of the year.

And we had, it was the U S universe.

So it was, it was a production between universal and Fox, a co-production production.

and the universal released it in the us and fox did it in the uk and so the universal vhs was the shortest version which we watched um and that's what we grew up on there's a bunch of differences but there are people who are die hard like they'll fall on a sword saying the director director's cuts better um was reading a little bit since i've seen it before i was reading some reviews on letterboxd and i think nick mentioned that he likes this cut more which is actually surprising knowing his track record um And I mean, you think Ridley Scott and you're like, all right, Director's Cut's better than the original nine out of ten times.

And I guess this is the one time that people argue not.

And I like to have a lived-in world.

Like, I saw this whole thing on, you remember that movie Legend? Yeah.

I Am Legend or Legend? Legend.

With Tom Cruise, Tim Curry.

Tom Cruise plays this, like, knight in a fantasy world.

But like, I was like, Tom Cruise is the lead for why.

Even in Legend, Tim Curry is giving you a demon and you're like, maybe I'm different now.

And Tom Cruise is like, I have read the script.

And I'm like, who is this? Who is this agent? This is

Give us your final one here.

Legend! All right.

1985 Legend, a movie that probably a lot of people have not really heard of because it disappeared to time.

It's basically like...

Just to give people a little idea of it.

This is so much to unpack about this movie.

This movie... is just a prime example of fantasy, especially high fantasy, failing in the 80s, only to be completely abandoned in the 90s, then somehow miraculously resurrected by the release of The Lord of the Rings.

You have Legend, which stars Tom Cruise and is directed by Ridley Scott.

Hello, Kevin.

This week, we're discussing the fantasy epic Legend, starring Tom Cruise, Tim Curry, Mia Sara, and a variety of British actors.

British actors.

Doing British actor things.

But that has nothing to do with what we're talking about.

It does not indeed.

Aaron, give us your 30-second synopsis of Legend.

I just want to point out that you didn't even ask what I've been up to.

So he did, he did Francis Ford Coppola for The Outsiders.

Uh, Legend was Ridley Scott.

Top, Top Gun was Tony Scott.

Man, he worked with the brothers back to back.
