Legends Podcast #535; Snakes on a Plane (Action Movies)

Fifteen years ago, a would-be summer blockbuster became an early example of a viral internet hit after the film’s title was announced. Starring the already meme-worthy actor Samuel L. Jackson as an FBI agent tasked with protecting a witness on a flight from Hawaii to LAX, only to find the flight besieged by venomous serpents, the film’s online notoriety did not translate to box office success I.R.L. Nevertheless, the film opened the floodgates for a torrent of high-concept action flicks of varying degrees of quality - Sharknado, anyone? We’re putting up our seats and tray tables, dosing ourselves with antivenom, and watching Snakes on a Plane!

Legends Podcast #534; The Mummy Returns (Action Movies)

The 2001 sequel to 1999’s hit monster flick The Mummy saw director Stephen Sommers helm another Indiana Jones-inspired adventure through cursed tombs infested with creepy bugs. Joining Brendan Fraser, Rachel Weisz, Arnold Vosloo, and the rest of the first film’s cast was a professional wrestler and untested actor known only as “The Rock.” The film was another box office hit, delivering the biggest opening weekend in two years. Though it would prove to be the last film starring the original cast, the following year The Rock starred in a spin-off prequel based on his character, The Scorpion King, earning the biggest salary ever for an actor in their first lead role and launching his movie career in earnest. Now, Beef, Wing, and Lobster are opening the Book of the Dead and bringing back The Mummy Returns for its twentieth anniversary!

Legends Podcast #533; Escape from New York (Action Movies)

Forty years ago, director John Carpenter followed his hit horror film Halloween with an action movie set in a year far off in the future: 1997! Starring Kurt Russell in his iconic role as the eye patch-wearing former soldier Snake Plissken tasked with a mission to save the President from the island prison of Manhattan in return for a federal pardon, the film was a hit and became a cult classic. While Lobster’s on vacation in the Empire State, Beef, Wing, and Taco will bravely attempt to Escape from New York!

Legends Podcast #532; The Cannonball Run (Car Movies)

Fifty years ago, automotive journalist Brock Yates and Car and Driver editor Steve Smith conceived the Cannonball Baker Sea-To-Shining-Sea Memorial Trophy Dash, a timed race from East Coast to West Coast of America. The first “Cannonball Run” from New York City to the Portofino Inn in Redondo Beach, California, was covered in a widely-read article, and the race was run four more times throughout the ‘70s. By the end of the decade, a movie was in the works, to be written by Yates and helmed by stuntdriver-turned-director Hal Needham. Two 1976 films - Cannonball and The Gumball Rally - beat Yates’ and Needham’s film to the screen, but their 1981 film - which boasted Burt Reynolds, Dom DeLuise, and Farrah Fawcett leading a stacked cast - became the sixth highest-grossing film of the year and remains an enduring classic. Now, forty years later, we’re putting pedal to metal and checking out The Cannonball Run!
