This time out, the guys discuss M.R. Carey’s short story “Iphigenia in Aulis,” which was adapted into both the book and movie The Girl With All The Gifts.
Rankings!:
Colin: Short Story, Book, Movie
James: Short Story/Book, Movie
Seth: Book, Movie, Short Story
Notes:
Not XKCD but a good comic nonetheless about “All Lives Matter”:
I’d like to recommend the following
Conan Doyle – The Lost World (1925) that were remade as King Kong
Wells – The Invisible Man (1933)- The Man Could Work Miracles
Arabian Nights – The Thief of Bagdad – The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
Smith – I Married a Witch (1942) – Topper
Benet – All That Money Can Buy (3 radio plays too)
Beauty and the Beast (1946)
Dunsany – It Happened Tomorrow (1943)
Dead of Night (1945)
Lawrence – The Rocking Horse Winner
Dick – The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (1947)
Shakespeare’s The Tempest – Forbidden Planet
Verne – 20,000 Leagues Under Sea, Journey to the Centre of the earth
Wyndham – Village of the Damned
Seconds, The Manchurian Candidate, Seven Days in May
Cheever – The Swimmer
Matheson – Prey from Trilogy of Terror – Duel, playboy story
Haunts of the Very Rich, based on a playboy story, a classic TV movie only on youtube.
I recommend them because they are top tier vintage classics as good today as they were the year they were released.
