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:
Once, again, the Pavement Pounders are joined by Dr. Phil Nichols to discuss some Ray Bradbury. This time, it’s The Halloween Tree, the book, the television film, and the Colonial Radio Theater production.

In Episode #8, the Pavement Pounders discuss Jurassic Park, both the 1993 film and 1990 book, and as might be expected, The Malcolm Effect rears its ugly head. We’re blaming Dennis Nedry for our recording setup failing us. So, we ended up with a great discussion being captured by the built-in laptop microphone. We’ll understand if you want to give it a miss, but if you can look past it, give it a listen.#mediaviewer/File:Jurassic_Park_poster.jpg)

I think we can all agree Colin is just dead wrong as usual. Though Colin might disagree. And be wrong again.
