Did you meet Tom Cruise as a young forest lad, clad in a gold sequince dress?

Could you save the universe from eternal darkness?

If you learned the foundational lesson that unicorns should NEVER be touched early in life, you might be a Xennial, and a fan of the cult classic 1985 movie, Legend. And we are too.

Join us with special return guest Jamila as we revisit Legend, including its quintessential 80s vibe, stunning makeup effects, and the captivating presence of unicorns. Together, we reminisce about the early film careers of Tom Cruise, Mia Sara, and Tim Curry, and compare the various versions of the film.

Plus - don't miss our hot takes on Tim Curry's Hot Satan portrayal.
