This time, the Pavement Pounders dig into the Outer Limits episode “Soldier,” adapted by Harlan Ellison from his story “Soldier from Tomorrow.” Why? Well, because of that little legal case that resulted in “Acknowledgement to the works of Harlan Ellison” in the end credits of The Terminator. We rule definitively on whether there was a case.
After recording this episode, we were saddened to hear of Ellison’s passing. We’ll try to hit a bit more Ellison in his honor in our next episode.
And for no reason, we still rank things!
Rankings!:
Colin/James:
Terminator
Soldier from Tomorrow (story)
Soldier (TOL episode)
Seth:
Terminator wins!
Show Notes:
Just how similar are Soldier and Terminator? James submits this into evidence (Seth quoted right along with the entire Terminator scene, word for word): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQqGAaMw7-o&app=desktop

This time out, the Pavement Pounders review the 1969 Nebula Award-winning novella A Boy and His Dog, by Harlan Ellison, and the 1975 Hugo-winning film adaptation of the same name.
We did it so you don’t have to. This one comes with a content warning: If you’re uncomfortable with a story involving a lot of language and discussion about rape and sexuality, you might want to give the story a miss. The film has far less language but a fair bit of nudity. So you can just tune into our discussion and save yourself the trouble.
Special Thanks to Emily for letting us dirty your dishes and poop on your floor.
