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

Published: May 7, 2020, 2:56 p.m.

Richard Matheson\u2019s original post-apocalyptic tale I AM LEGEND laid the foundation for the zombie fiction of today in a book that some regard as the \u201cfirst modern horror novel.\u201d But how does Frances Lawrence\u2019s 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.\xa0

Topics: The dog disclaimer, Luke\u2019s waterworks report, Will Smith\u2019s unavoidable charisma, keeping up with dental health, a theory about two movies crammed into one, and an unwelcome car commercial.
