S01E07 - The Last Man on Earth

I'm delighted to be joined by Ronn Bauman (Scaramouche of the Tortuga Twins) to talk about the 1964 horror film The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price. Based on the novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson, this is one of several film versions and we'll actually end up talking about all of them during this episode.

For what I can only assume are US copyright reasons, the entire Price movie is available in a lovely transfer streaming directly off of Wikipedia. 

And if you want to throw some pocket change our way, you can watch these on Amazon (or purchase the book) via affiliate links:

The original novel 

Last Man on Earth (prime) <-- this is the colorized digital version

The Omega Man (prime) 

I Am Legend (prime) 

And we're not recommending it, but here is a link to The Asylum's knock-off version:
I Am Omega 

Finally - a link to last episode's "Make Your Case" winner: NOMADS (starring Pierce Brosnan)

Ronn and I have a wide-ranging discussion, including a good bit about The Thing (1982) and the rumor that Blumhouse is making something new of this material.

Additional:
The Danny Elfman film we discussed was Forbidden Zone.  I still haven't seen it but Ronn did warn us that it contains some scenes of blackface.

 Reefer Madness: The Musical is available streaming on Amazon.

The comic-book sequel to Carpenter's The Thing was a 2-issue special from Dark Horse and versions of Issue #1 and Issue #2 are available online for varying prices.
