The Legendary Ladies are back, and thrilled to discuss the action-romance-horror film The Gorge, directed by Scott Derrickson. Starring Miles Teller and Anya Tayor-Joy, the film follows two snipers assigned to guard a massive canyon known as "The Gorge"...and keep whatever is inside it from getting out. Amy, Kat, and Morgan dive into the film and all three find they enjoyed it more than they expected.

They also chat about the excellent cinematography, the acting, and the jump scares that make the film worth it.
