"You think you have won! What is light without dark? What are you without me? I am a part of you all. You can never defeat me. We are brothers eternal!"
-- Darkness, Legend

Hello again, movie fans!  My wonderful co-host Xan Sprouse and I are back with a new episode of Drunk Cinema! This time, Xan and I pay tribute to Tim Curry as we watch Legend, the 1985 dark fantasy adventure film directed by Ridley Scott, featuring Tom Cruise as Jack, Mia Sara as Lili, Tim Curry as Darkness, and David Bennent as Honeythorn Gump!
