Continuing the Summer of PKD, the Pavement Pounders discuss the short story “The Golden Man,” loosely adapted into the 2007 Nicolas Cage vehicle Next . Somewhere, somebody enjoys this film. Just not us. Will the story fare better?
Bonus points for anyone who counts how many times Colin says “nucular.”

I Am Legend and the three major films adapted from it: 1964’s The Last Man on Earth , 1971’s The Omega Man , and the 2007 film I Am Legend .
Slow, zombie-like vampires! Pale vampire Sith Lord beaniks! CGI uncanny valley superhuman darkseekers! And an Asylum film? What? (not really)
Big thanks to Adam Underwood for suggesting the topic and for being patient with us taking more than a year to get to it!
