ITF Read & Watch: I Am Legend (1954 novel & 2007 film)

Richard Matheson’s original post-apocalyptic tale I AM LEGEND laid the foundation for the zombie fiction of today in a book that some regard as the “first modern horror novel.” But how does Frances Lawrence’s film adaptation hold up by comparison? In episode 135, things get a little too real as Luke & James discuss fictional pandemics while living through a real-life one with Covid-19. 

Topics: The dog disclaimer, Luke’s waterworks report, Will Smith’s unavoidable charisma, keeping up with dental health, a theory about two movies crammed into one, and an unwelcome car commercial.
