The Pavement Pounders discuss adapted science fiction, generally well-known films derived from written works.  They read the book, watch the movie, watch remakes, reboots, re-adaptations, and give it all a good mulling over.

Fun concept and I love the array of films you choose to cover!

Interesting show!

Lots of unique insights here and fun, cool hosts.  Totally worth it for SF fans of all kinds!

Great Show

For a special attempt at relevance, the Pavement Pounders discuss Jurassic World, currently chomping through box office records and in no way in need of their endorsement.  Still and all, they discuss in what sense (if any) the movie is adapted from the original Jurassic Park novel, just to give lip service to the whole “Reader” thing in their title. Slowness of aging T-Rexes discussed!  Lack of a clear protagonist dissed!  Emergence of Indomitus-Rex’s traits disbelieved!

This time, the Pavement Pounders dig into the Outer Limits episode “Soldier,” adapted by Harlan Ellison from his story “Soldier from Tomorrow.” Why?

TMTYR Episode #45: Pale Luddites (I Am Legend)

Ringing in the new year with a brand new film, the Pavement Pounders discuss the new film Predestination, currently in limited theaters and video on demand.  The film is adapted from Robert Heinlein’s 1959 short story “-All You Zombies-“. Boys will be boys, and the Pavement Pounders got caught in a temporal underwear discussion loop.  It’s not pretty.  Seth could’ve edited it out, but for all we know, that would unravel the fabric of reality.  Get it?  Fabric?  I’ll be here all week.

Note: We’ve added an episode for the 2021 film. Get it here: http://pavementpodcast.com/podcast/i-like-the-flying-fat-man-dune-2021-film/ To celebrate their 50th episode, the Pavement Pounders got James drunk and made him read Dune. (And also watch the 1984 film and the 2000 miniseries.) Unfortunately, Seth’s recording failed (silently) at about the 40 minute mark, so his audio is pulled from what bled into the other guys’ mics. It’s not fantastic, but the conversation is still good, and James and Colin’s recordings kept on working.

This time out, the Pavement Pounders discuss their very first Stephen King, going with Firestarter, the 1980 novel and its 1984 theatrical adaptation. Alas, no exploding chickens in the movie. But lots of feathered hair, teke-ing really hard, and good old Hollywood whitewashing! Hooray! Rankings!: Colin/James/Seth:  Book Movie  Notes: Seth was lazy this time and came up with precisely nothing. Not to worry, though, because Dune is up next and that should produce plenty. Besides, after the Show Notes explosion from Real Steel, Seth’s been pretty tipped over.
