Legends of Halloween rolls on with another Stephen King pick from Beef. In this 1990 psychological thriller, James Caan plays a bestselling writer who, following a car crash, finds himself in the care of an obsessed fan played by Kathy Bates. Directed by Rob Reiner, from a script by William Goldman, based on King's 1987 novel, the film proved to be a breakout role for Bates, who was up to this point unknown to movie audiences. Bates took home the Academy Award for Lead Actress - still, to this day, the only Oscar win for a Stephen King adaptation. And while it's basically a two-hander between Caan and Bates, the film also includes Richard Farnsworth, Frances Sternhagen, and Lauren Bacall in supporting roles. But does the film make us its biggest fans, or should it be torched on the grill? Join us as we put on our Liberace records and try to find the happy ending in Misery!
"Oh, my goodness! Heavens to Betsy!"

Legends Podcast #798: Willard (2003)
Legends of Halloween starts early this year with Rita's pick, a 2003 horror flick that remakes a 1971 hit. The film stars Crispin Glover as a misfit who befriends a colony of rats living in his basement, later using them to get revenge on those who have wronged him. Written and directed by The X-Files writer, producer, and director Glen Morgan, this darkly comic tale was based on the original film, which was in turn based on the 1968 novel Ratman's Notebooks by Stephen Gilbert. While the original was the 11th-highest-grossing release of its year and spawned a sequel, audiences smelled a rat with the remake, and it ended up as a box-office bomb. However, critics praised Glover's performance and the new one sold well on DVD, even winning a Golden Satellite award for Best DVD Extras. But does the remake really build a better mousetrap, or should it be exterminated? Join us as we chew on Willard!

Legends Podcast #797: Children of Men (2006)
The year is 2027, and for the past two decades, humans have been unable to reproduce. The infertility crisis has brought the globe to the breaking point, with Britain now a totalitarian, anti-immigrant state. Clive Owen plays Theo, a depressed bureaucrat tasked by his insurgency leader ex, played by Julianne Moore, with escorting a woman out of the country. When the woman turns out to be pregnant, an existential threat emerges - one that risks the fate of the human race! Directed by Alfonso Cuarón, based on the novel by P.D. James, this 2006 film was a critical hit but flopped at the box office. Now, twenty years later, the film seems not only prescient, but ahead of its time. And nowhere does it look more cutting-edge than in its cinematography - courtesy of Emmanuel Lubezki - featuring immersive, extended shots of the action. However, time has been kind, and the film has been frequently cited as one of the best films of the century so far. This isn't child's play - this is serious business - it's Children of Men!
