LEGEND

It's the 5th anniversay of the show, so you know what that means. It's time to revisit a Tom Cruise movie to see if it holds up. Tom started this whole podcast back in 2022 and every June we pay our respects and this year we watched Legend. The fantasy classic that found a cult following years after its release. So were the people in 1986 or right, or are the ones who love it now right? Will we agree? Who knows.
This week we revisit 1986's Legend, does it hold up? Find out now.

HOCUS POCUS

A candle, a virgin, All Hallow's Eve, and the Sanderson sisters. All the things you need for a campy, kid's first horror movie, but does it all come together to make something good? This cult classic wasn't good at the time, found a following years later, and now...?
This week we revisit 1993's Hocus Pocus, does it hold up? Find out now.
If the audio sounds a little off, we apologize. Our normal setup was on the fritz and had to use some old equipment well getting the good stuff fixed. Thanks for sticking with us.

WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD VILLAINS

This week we discuss how villains used to be good and have maybe gotten too soft over the years. What happened to the straight up villains of the past like Hannibal Lecter, John Doe, and Nurse Ratched. Evil has gotten weaker throught the years and we discuss how that happened while naming some of our favorite villains and how themes are now villains rather than characters. After that, Emily plays the villain tournament where she decides who is, in her opinion, the greatest villain of them all.
