Episode 776: Legend, A Retro Movie Review

The Blasters & Blades PodcastWe’ve got our #Retro #MovieReview episode for your eyeballs today! Dust off your fairy dust and brace yourselves for the ultimate '80s fantasy trip. This week, we are stepping into Ridley Scott’s beautifully chaotic 1985 cult classic, Legend. We are talking about Tom Cruise in a chainmail tunic, Mia Sara’s iconic gothic transformation, and Rob Bottin’s mind-blowing practical makeup effects that gave us the definitive cinematic Devil. Join us as we debate whether this film is a misunderstood masterpiece of dark folklore or just a magnificent, glitter-drenched mess. This was an awesome movie and a fun chat, so what are you waiting for?
