Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and compliance.
In the summer of 1982, director Stephen Spielberg’s E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial rocketed to the top of the box office and surpassed Star Wars to become the highest-grossing film of all time. The film was aimed squarely at kids, starring a youngster and his likeable alien friend, with no “bad guys” except for the shadowy government types who doggedly pursue the two. E.T.’s success inspired plenty of knock-offs throughout the ‘80s, including The Last Starfighter, Explorers, *batteries not included, and Mac and Me. Not to be left out, Walt Disney Pictures released Flight of the Navigator in 1986, about a time-displaced child and a talking spaceship voiced by Pee-Wee Herman star Paul Reubens. The film was a modest hit during Disney’s “dark age,” but nowhere near as successful as E.T. Disney has promised to make a reboot since 2009, so Legends Podcast wraps up its time travel month with Beef’s childhood favorite. Do not know “promise…” This is Chronovember!

During his prolific career, author Michael Crichton brought dinosaurs back to life, explored a jungle ruled by evil gorillas, terrorized us with a virus from outer space, and proved that footnotes and dense technical descriptions could have a place in bestselling novels. Most importantly, his works were tailor-made for the movies, with seven of his books getting the big-screen treatment in the ‘90s. Crichton capped his amazing run with a novel that tackled sci-fi’s holy grail - time travel - with his signature exhaustive pseudoscientific detail. In 2003, ace action director Richard Donner brought Timeline to life with a Paul Walker led feature film, about a group of scholars sent back in time to medieval France. There's one thing worse than dying here, and that's living here... This is Chronovember!

Fall back in time with Legends Podcast! All month long, we’re talking about time travel, paradoxes, and being excellent to each other. Time travel is extremely complicated, rife with unintended consequences. You could accidentally erase yourself from existence or change the course of all of history. Or you could, you know, kidnap half a dozen historical figures just to get a passing grade in high school social studies. Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure accomplished this consequence-free time travel with just a phone booth, and it scored big at the box office, with one sequel in 1991, two television spin-offs (one live-action and one animated) and a third film, Bill & Ted Face the Music, in the works for summer 2020 release. Strange things are afoot at the Circle K... This is Chronovember!

The Terminator franchise can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And it absolutely will not stop, ever... until you are dead! This past weekend’s release of Terminator: Dark Fate proved that statement definitively as the film became the third attempt to restart the franchise in only a decade. But will the fact that Fate delivered less than $30 million at the box office be enough to convince Hollywood to terminate this aging relic? Or will future time travelers be able to erase the past ten years of reboots? We’re going back to the beginning to see if there’s hope. Come with us if you want to live... This is Chronovember!

Daylight savings threw beef off, he thought it was sent time back a full week... not clocks back an hour.. his bad! your final Legends of Halloween for 2019
Director Robert Eggers made a name for himself with the 2015 release of his debut film, The Witch. Stylized as The VVitch, the film, set in colonial New England with all its "thees" and "thous," established Eggers's bonafides as an auteur with an instinct for authenticity. With his next film, The Lighthouse, now in theaters and earning rave reviews, Wing and Lobster venture into the woods to see a goat about a man. Move along, this is Legends of Halloween… pilgrim.
