Picking up a dangling thread from last year, the guys discuss a few more adaptations (or “adaptations”) of “The Most Dangerous Game.”
Covered this time are A Game of Death from 1945, Hard Target from 1993, Surviving the Game from 1994, and The Hunt, from 2020.
No rankings this time. But we all liked The Hunt best.
Colin/James/Seth:
This time, the guys discuss the classic 1924 Richard Connell short story “The Most Dangerous Game” and several adaptations sharing the name (or at least 90% of the name).
This is Part One of at least a two-part series covering the many, many adaptations of this story.
Rankings!
Colin/James/Seth:
The guys discuss The Midnight Sky, the new film on Netflix, based on Lily Brooks-Dalton’s novel Good Morning, Midnight.
