Betty White’s film and television career spanned seven decades and was filled with reinvention. From radio actress to game show staple, from a Golden Girl to being Hot in Cleveland, she never failed to leave us laughing. In 1999, she played a foul-mouthed pensioner with a penchant for reptiles in a creature-feature from Fox and Stan Winston Studios. Co-starring Bill Pullman, Bridget Fonda, Oliver Platt and Brendan Gleeson, written by Ally McBeal creator David E. Kelley, and directed by horror helmer Steve Miner, the movie didn’t exactly take a chunk out of the box office but it kept its head above water long enough to earn five low-budget made-for-TV sequels. See you later, alligator, this ain’t the Nile, crocodile… it’s Lake Placid!

Fifty years ago, Francis Ford Coppola’s adaptation of Mario Puzo’s bestselling novel premiered in movie theaters to near-universal acclaim, spent twenty-three consecutive weeks at number one at box office, and became the highest-grossing movie of all-time. Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, James Caan, and Robert Duvall, the film won the Oscars for Best Picture, Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Brando - which he refused to accept. In the years since, it became the first chapter of a trilogy and has been named by the American Film Institute as the second-greatest film in American cinema. If you haven’t figured it out by now, Legends Podcast is ready to make you an offer you can’t refuse. It’s The Godfather.

Twenty years ago, Eminem was one of the most successful - and divisive - recording artists in the world. He was a white rapper from the poor suburbs of Detroit whose meteoric rise to fame was perhaps only eclipsed by his ability to cause controversy with his lyrics. Director Curtis Hanson (The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, L.A. Confidential) and screenwriter Scott Silver (Joker) created a movie based on Eminem’s true-life beginnings, starring the rapper as himself. Co-starring Kim Basinger, Michael Shannon, Mekhi Phifer, Brittany Murphy and Anthony Mackie, the movie also launched the Academy Award-winning single “Lose Yourself.” Now sit down with Legends Podcast as we enjoy a fresh plate of mom’s spaghetti with 8 Mile.

Director Matthew Vaughn’s series of Kingman films, based on the comic book by Mark Millar and Dave Gibbons, focus on a secret British intelligence agency. A prequel, also directed by Vaughn, telling the origin story of the Kingsman during The Great War, was released last year after being delayed eight times by production issues and the pandemic. With an all-star cast and the series’ signature hyper-fashionable - and hyper-violent - style, does The King’s Man prove to be worth the wait? Or, given current events, is it just in time to see history repeat itself?

Canadian treasure Ryan Reynolds has gone from rom-com star to failed DC superhero to successful Marvel anti-hero, as well as doing action movies with The Rock and playing a Pokemon. He returned to the video game genre with his most recent film, playing a non-player character in an online video game who levels up to save his virtual world. With cameos and pop culture references galore, this film by Shawn Levy also stars Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer, Stranger Things’ Joe Keery, and New Zealand’s Taika Waititi - who has definitely never, ever been in a movie with Ryan Reynolds before. The movie was also the 10th highest-grossing domestic film of 2021, and now Legends Podcast is livestreaming on Twitch while we talk Free Guy! (Just kidding, we are not.)
