It's finally time! The Legends Movie Draft is back! We're picking an all-new slate of films to review this year, including classics and new releases, and we're upping the difficulty by adding new categories. We'll be making picks for fan-favorites like Aug-Heist, Legends of Halloween, and Chronovember, along with Movie Mash-Ups and movies from the year our hosts were born. But Legends aren't born, they're drafted, so get out your Big Board and follow along at home. It's the Legends 2026 Movie Draft!

Next week: we stare at Jim Carrey through hidden cameras with THE TRUMAN SHOW!

In 1977, Jim Henson, having found success with The Muppet Show, began experimenting with new technology and storytelling styles in the hopes of developing a feature film. Adapting a children's book by Russell Hoban and Lillian Hoban, itself an adaptation of the classic O. Henry short story "The Gift of Magi," Henson and his production team created a one-hour Christmas special that premiered in Canada on CBC and aired the following year on the then-new HBO channel. Featuring several original songs written by frequent Henson collaborator Paul Williams, subsequent airings on ABC and Nickelodeon, along with home video releases, cemented the quirky special's popularity. Now we're going down to the river to take in the sights and sounds of Emmet Otter's Jug-Band Christmas! And stick around for news and trailers, along with how we plan to spend our Christmas vacations. See you in 2026!
