This week, Grace and Niamh are covering the 1954 Robert Matheson masterpiece, I Am Legend, and its third adaptation, 2007’s Will Smith blockbuster of the same name. We get into pandemics, devastating loneliness, self destruction, and humankind’s irreversible destruction of the planet. It’s actually one of our cheerier episodes! <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20170808114238/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/movies/moviesspecial/04halb.html?ref=moviesspecial" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20170808114238/http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/04/movies/moviesspecial/04halb.html?ref=moviesspecial</a> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20110616205005/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/film_reviews/article3097177.ece" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://web.archive.org/web/20110616205005/http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/film/film_reviews/article3097177.ece</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZ36oBdIPY" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSZ36oBdIPY</a> <hr> Hosted on Acast.

The Girl on the Train

A comedy podcast where comedian Grace Mulvey and pop culture obsessive Niamh King ask the question 'what makes a great adaptation?'In each episode we take a beloved book that has been made into a movie or show and do a deep dive into what the production got right (or very wrong). From banger soundtracks to dodgy casting, we get into what it takes to make The Jump from page to screen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
