watch the video below: listen to the podcast below: It's time to close out yet another year of the Dandy Fun House. While all those “other shows” are slacking off and giving you retrospectives of everything they've already done in the past year, it is instead our tradition here at the Dandy Fun House to leave the past exactly there… in the past and instead look ahead to the brand spankin' new year coming at us like Frehley's Comet and take a glimpse at the coolest stuff we've been able to find that's waiting for us in 2026! We're going to look at theme parks, movies, pinball and of course the TOTY AWARD NOMINATION picks for the upcoming 2026 Toy of the Year Awards! Are you ready to get your kicks in 26? Then LET'S step into the FUN HOUSE! Hello and welcome to the Dandy Fun House 2025 year-end extravaganza where we wear the hats and blow our hooters about the very best in retro pop culture, toys and games and all the fun stuff! I’m your host Neil Dandy and in this episode we're going to look ahead at WHAT’S HOT ON THE HORIZON FOR 2026 in the worlds of theme parks, movies, pinball and my personal picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS (Toy of the Year). BUT FIRST! I have to show you these amazing DANDY FUN HOUSE T-Shirts before time runs out! Perfect for swaddling the baby new year, They have a front and a back so you don’t get cold and we even cut 4 holes in them! One to crawl your body into, one to stick your head out of and two to poke your arms through! Find them in the Dandy Fun Shop at the Dandy Fun House website at dandyfunhouse.com before the Dandy Ball Drops! Alrighty, hold on tighty and let’s get right into what's hot on the horizon for 2026 starting with… THEME PARKS! And up first is going to be UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, HOLLYWOOD (which isn't actually in Hollywood, it's in Studio City kind of like the LA Angels baseball team is actually in Anaheim and how they call the Embassy Suites here in Murfreesboro, Tennessee “Nashville South” which we absolutely are not. But anyway that's a rabbit hole rant for another day.) Anyway, UNIVERSAL STUDIOS in the greater Los Angeles, California area is breaking ground on a new roller coaster where each individual car experiences its very own 360 degrees of rotation. The coaster is called FAST AND FURIOUS HOLLYWOOD DRIFT themed after the Fast and Furious movies obviously. This one is expected to peel out in 2026! And Legoland California is busy building the Lego Galaxy space-themed land including an indoor roller coaster. Over at Kings Island in Ohio they're opening what they are calling a new “dark ride” in 2026 called “PHANTOM THEATER: Opening Nightmare.” It's in the location that has most recently held an attraction called Boo Blasters but is apparently the site of a previous attraction also called PHANTOM THEATER and this is apparently the return of that attraction with some various upgrades. I went to the Kings Island website to get more information and there's just a teaser video showing two girls walking into Boo Blasters and ending up in the Phantom Theater which appears to be a very loose sendup on the Phantom of the Opera. The cartoon phantom character they show in the teaser graphic is obviously based on the classic Lon Chaney silent film character, and visitors ride inside cars that resemble opera boxes. So… yeah. Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee (my neck of the woods kinda sorta) will be undertaking a $50 million expansion and also opening the world's first ever hybrid indoor family coaster and whitewater river raft ride called the “Night Flight Expedition.” Then under at Sea World, Orlando Florida they're diving into a new dark ride called SEAQuest: Legends of the Deep. If you don't know what a dark ride is, it basically means it's indoors and you get moved from scene to scene. It doesn't necessarily mean it's actually dark. Anyway, this new dark ride at Sea World Orlando will be what they are calling a suspended dark ride. The only information about this ride currently is that the rider will “discover dazzling ecosystems, legendary sea life, and breathtaking stories of resilience and wonder.” NEW MOBILITY DEVICE POLICY AT SEA WORLD! And speaking of Sea World, they have a controversial new policy which has been making the news lately that has just rolled out regarding mobility devices for the disabled. It appears that rollator walkers with seats are no longer permitted. The official updated policy from the Sea World website is as follows: “For the safety of our guests and employees, rollator walkers with seats on them are not permitted at SeaWorld Orlando. Alternative personal transportation options, including standard wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles (ECVs), are available. Walkers without a seat are permitted.” I'm guessing that more than a few guests were using their rollators like wheelchairs and it was causing some sort of safety concern in the parks. As someone who transports disabled people as my profession and handles mobility devices all day long, I can tell you from personal experience that a wheelchair itself is something you need to exercise caution with while pushing someone around. A rollator walker would be very, very easy to tip over if someone were attempting to use it as a wheelchair. So while I am disappointed at the inconvenience some disabled guests are going to face with this new policy, I want to be very careful not to demonize Sea World too quickly on this new policy. Guests can still borrow suitable mobility devices from guest services. Ok, time to work our flippers over to the world of PINBALL! Here are the rumored pinball releases expected in 2026 that caught my eye during the research for this episode. Please keep in mind these are only rumors… AMERICAN PINBALL is rumored to be releasing a CUPHEAD pinball machine in 2026 based on the wildly popular video game featuring some amazing vintage animation styles. I'll admit I'm not familiar with the character or the video game but I do love this vintage cartoon style! SPOOKY PINBALL is said to be working on a MOTORHEAD pinball machine for 2026. NO offense to guitarist Wurzel or drummer Mickey Dee (now playing with the Scorpions) who were crucial to keeping the band going in its later years, but I'm really hoping it honors the original lineup of Lemmy, Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie! BARRELS OF FUN PINBALL appears to be cooking up some GOONIES pinball for the new year! RAMPS PINBALL will be coming out with LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! Oh please let the carnivorous plant eat the ball! And last but not least in our pinball 2026 rumours we have PINBALL ADVENTURES bringing us SUSHI MADNESS! Ni Ohashi Kudasai ! And if you're REALLY a pinball nut as we know you are, you'll want to put March 20th through the 22nd on your calendar because that's when Frisco, Texas braces itself for the annual TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL! Over 440 games. One incredible weekend! The website says tickets go on sale October 4th 2026. I have to imagine that's a typo and they really mean 2025 otherwise only those with the ability for reverse time travel will be able to attend. There will be tournaments and challenges, special guests and panels, exhibitors, parts, memorabilia, new games and there will be a special tech day for those trying to upgrade and/or fix their own machines. That's the TEXAS PINBALL FESTIVAL 2026! Rope you a ticket today! Yeehaw! Alright, I think we're ready to “steer” away from pinball and “drive” this herd into… MOVIES! First I'll start with letting you know a few of my favorite movies of 2025 before we get into what's ahead for 2026: JURASSIC WORLD REBIRTH: Ok, it was pretty much par for the course but it had Scarlett Johansson carrying the entire movie on her shoulders alone and she pulled it off amazingly! MICKEY 17: This is a movie about a guy who signs on to do very dangerous grunt work in space for a corporation and every time he gets killed, the company just prints out a new copy of him with all his same memories. The crux is that the new copy never knows if he's actually the person being reborn every time or if he really dies and the new copy just has his memories and merely thinks he's the same person. Weird stuff. THE FANTASTIC FOUR: FIRST STEPS – After many fantastic fails at trying to make this work on the big screen, they finally got the Fantastic Four right! The retro future vibe was spot on and all the actors were perfect! SUPERMAN: I was really upset about losing Henry Cavill as Superman, but James Gunn came back with a fresh new fun feel on this one starring David Corenswet, even bringing in Supe's dog Krypto! This movie was just a great time! More please! THE SMASHING MACHINE: Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in a dramatic role co-starring Emily Blunt. It's the story of Mixed Martial arts and UFC Champion Mark Kerr and how he conquered his biggest opponent: addiction. And finally in my roundup of my favorite movies of 2025 I bring you… BUGONIA! This movie was a crazy trip with some really wild twists and many moments of pure cringe and I loved it! Starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons who seems to be showing up in everything lately! It's a story about two conspiracy nuts who kidnap a corporate CEO thinking she's a space alien trying to destroy the Earth. This was easily my biggest delightful surprise of 2025. But before we get to 2026, I'd like to give a special nod to TRON: ARES because I always expect anything starring Jared Leto to suck eggs and this did not! And SPINAL TAP II: The End Continues… Rest in peace Marty DiBergi. MOVIES I’M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! THE ODYSSEY Expected Jul 17, 2026: After the Trojan War, Odysseus faces a dangerous voyage back to Ithaca, meeting creatures like the Cyclops Polyphemus, Sirens, and Circe along the way. starring Matt Damon, Mia Goth, and Anne Hathaway. This could be really good or it could be really stupid. I'm betting this is going to be good and double or nothing that Mia Goth will be a siren or maybe Medusa. I think she'd make a good Medusa! EVIL DEAD BURN Expected Jul 24, 2026 – I'm a sucker for the Evil Dead movies. This one is not likely to have any Bruce Campbell, but they're keeping the details under tight wraps for now so who knows? COYOTE VS. ACME Expected Aug 28, 2026 PG A story set in the ACME warehouse, the manufacturer of anything and everything used by the Looney Tunes characters. And apparently John Cena is voicing one of the characters! Oh please oh please oh please get this right! If 2025's “The Day The Earth Blew Up” starring Daffy Duck and Porky Pig is any indication, I think we can have high hopes here! Ooh, that’s another one of my favorites from 2025 I left off the list! INSPECTOR GADGET – No details are available but I think we're long overdue for some Go Go Gadget action! DUNE Part Three Expected Dec 18, 2026 It follows Muad’dib, heir to unimaginable power, as he brings to fruition the ancient scheme to create a superbeing ruler among men, not in the heavens. And according to imdb it’s starring Starring Rebecca Ferguson, Timothée Chalamet and Anya Taylor-Joy. Did you pick up what I just picked up? Zendaya is not listed as a cast member on IMDB! How can this IMD Be!? You tell me! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN (untitled) – That's all we know folks. Hopefully they got things squared away with Johnny Depp. That is if they want to sell tickets. I AM LEGEND 2 – Military scientist Robert Neville seems the sole survivor in virus-ravaged New York. He’s waging a fight against “Darkseekers”, mutants resembling vampires trying to capture him as he searches for a cure. Starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan Alright! I could go for a sequel to I AM LEGEND! Especially when you add Michael B into the mix! I'd really like a sequel to iRobot but this'll do me for now! BLADE – That's right they are teasing a new Blade movie for 2026 with Mia Goth listed in the cast but of course the burning question is DO THEY HAVE WESLEY SNIPES??? They gave him a cameo as Blade in the Deadpool vs. Wolverine movie last year. But Snipes is NOT listed in the cast on IMDB as of yet! There is also an Untitled Denzel Washington Project Based on the historical figure of Hannibal, considered one of the greatest military commanders of all time. The film covers the crucial battles he led against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War. You had me at Denzel, not to mention I love historical action movies. Bring it on! THE BRIDE Expected Mar 6, 2026 In 1930s Chicago, Dr. Frankenstein asks Dr. Euphronius to help create a companion. They give life to a murdered woman as the Bride, sparking romance, police interest, and radical social change. Starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Christian Bale THIS IS THE ONE I'M WAITING FOR! Love Christian Bale and love the concept of setting the story of The Bride of Frankenstein in 1930's Chicago! Let's go! SCANDALOUS! This will be the story behind the Hollywood romance of Sammy Davis Jr. and actress Kim Novak. I love anything related to Sammy Davis Jr. “It's gonna be fantastic baby!” CLAYFACE – Expected Sep 11, 2026 A shape-shifting creature made of magical clay haunts Gotham City, alternating between villain and ally of Batman. Ok, it's a Batman villain and not a super obvious one! Looks interesting! EVEL KNIEVEL ON TOUR – This one is going to be about Legendary motorcycle daredevil Evel Knievel and apparently the drama that surrounded the run-up to his 1974 attempt at jumping the Snake River Canyon in Idaho.Starring Leonardo DiCaprio Ok, first of all, Evel was planning to jump the Grand Canyon but couldn't get the ok from the US Government so he made a deal with an Indian tribe to jump the Snake River Canyon seeing how it was located on sovereign tribal land. Anyway, a new movie about Evel Knievel? Heck yeah! THE HUNGER GAMES: SUNRISE ON THE REAPING – Expected Nov 20, 2026 This new installment of the Hunger Games will explore Panem 24 years before Katniss’ saga, starting on the morning of the reaping for the 50th Hunger Games, where a young Haymitch Abernathy participates. Ok, this could be alright. I'm not super excited about it but I could be swayed since it won't have Jennifer Lawrence in it. And that's it for THE MOVIES I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IN 2026! Now for TOYS! What I like to do this time of year is see what toys from 2025 have been nominated in various categories for a coveted TOY OF THE YEAR award otherwise known as a TOTY and let you know my personal picks, not that anyone in the industry is giving me a vote. Maybe someday. BUT TODAY I bring you MY PERSONAL 2026 TOTY AWARD NOMINEE PICKS! ACTION FIGURE OF THE YEAR: I like Avatar Interactive Shoulder Banshee by Disney Consumer Products – This thing looks pretty cool. It's basically a small, colorful looking dragon that sits on your shoulder and attaches via a magnetic base you wear under your clothing. A handheld controller allows you to control head and wing movements as well as its voice. This thing is pretty darn awesome! In the COLLECTIBLES category: There are two different nominees that caught my eye. One is Sticki Rolls Series 2 by Sky Castle Toys which is basically charm bracelets marketed to girls with rolls of small stickers on them with different fun graphics. The other nominee I like is Wigglitz by ZB Designs. These are tiny toy figurines of almost every type of fun character you can imagine that have some sort of wiggly aspect to them, or better put: something that moves when you wiggle them. If I had to choose between these two, I'd probably go with Wigglitz because it's something you'll get continual enjoyment from whereas the Sticki Rolls are only fun until you run out of stickers. CONSTRUCTION PLAYSET OF THE YEAR: I have to give it to GeckoBot 2.0 by Thames & Kosmos, This is a kit where you build your very own robotic gecko that actually climbs up your windows. Thames & Kosmos just keeps knocking it out of the park! CREATIVE TOY OF THE YEAR: Crayola Marker Airbrush has got my vote (that is if I HAD A VOTE which I don't!). If you've ever dreamed of someday making awful-looking t-shirts and hats on the boardwalk, then THIS could be your starter kit! It's an actual working airbrush sprayer courtesy of everyone's favorite crayon company, Crayola! It even comes with various spray color cartridges so you start saying it by spraying it! DOLL OF THE YEAR: Admittedly, I as a 57 year old man should absolutely NOT be voicing my opinion on the Doll of the Year Award (DOTY award?) but if I had to choose from the list of 2026 nominees I would hands-down pick Woof & Co by Sunny Days Entertainment. It's a collection of fashionable dogs of various breeds who all dress FABULOUS! Yeah, this is the one I'd go for. EDUCATIONAL TOY OF THE YEAR: In this category I am really liking the SNAP CIRCUITS SPY KIT by Elenco Electronics. This has a bunch of components that you just snap together to make all sorts of cool stuff like a vibration sensor, motion detector, trip wire, voice changer and a whole lot more. Oh the trouble I would have gotten myself into if I had something like this when I was a kid! GAME OF THE YEAR: I've gotta tell you, there's not a bad one in the bunch of nominees this year for Game of the Year! They've got an EXPLODING KITTENS BOARD GAME where you actually flip the entire board and all the pieces stay in place! There's a Simon game (you know, the memory game Simon?) where they took it and incorporated it into a dance mat called SIMON JUMP. So you stomp out your moves on the dance mat! Then there's COWS IN SPACE where magnetic flying saucers dangle from your forehead via a sproingy headstrap and the object is to abduct cows from a field with your flying saucer! But the game that caught my attention the most was TETRIS TUMBLE XL! It's sort of like Giant Jenga except there is a base that rocks side to side and you roll a die to see what tetris pieces you have to stack on top of it and of course whoever makes the stack fall to the ground is the LOSER! I like this. It's like a great big fun yard game you could also play in your living room. TETRIS TUMBLE XL for Game of the Year is my choice! INFANT / TODDLER TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, maybe another category I might not be the best judge for but I'm who you've got pal! And in this category I choose Pour ‘N’ Grow Pop-Up Garden by Yookidoo. This appears to be mainly a bath time toy kit but you could play with it really anywhere as long as you have some water onhand. It's pretty simple: you've got three different toys, The fill and water flower, Peek A Bee and Pop Up Worm. You pour water into them or onto them and the water turns some internal mechanisms to make the flower open, the worm come out and wiggle or gets the bee to play peek a bee with you! Very unique and inventive and in my opinion, the absolute best of this year's bunch! KIDULT TOY OF THE YEAR: Kidult? That means it's made for ages 14 and up. And I'm really torn down the middle between two nominees on this one. I like the Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 by MGA Entertainment which is an art kit for making your own food minis that you control the designs and colors of. Have you ever walked past a restaurant that had fake food on display showing examples of their most popular dishes? Well that's what you'll be making with this kit only really, really small. The name is way too long though. Or if you just want something cool to play with that doesn't really take any time and effort, I offer you the ZipString Aracna, which is a newer version of the ZipString string loop toy, but it attaches to your wrist so you can shoot it out like Spiderman! (although they obviously aren't allowed to actually invoke Spiderman but they sure are bending over backwards suggesting it as extremely as they legally can!) The really cool feature of this Kidult toy of the year nominee is the glow feature! Flip a switch on the ZipString wrist launcher, turn off the lights and do all sorts of awesome tricks and shapes in the dark with a glowing string loop. So… Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 or the the ZipString Aracna! The Miniverse Make it Mini Food Diner Series 4 triggers me relentlessly with that obnoxiously long name, so on that basis alone I am giving the nod to the ZipString Aracna! OUTDOOR TOY OF THE YEAR: I think there should really be two sub categories here. One for younger kids and one for older. For the older kids, I was really blown away by the Crazy Cart Shuffle by Razor USA. This thing is like a Big Wheel or a Green Machine on steroids. Not only can you pedal around in this thing but you can spin and also drift. It's really neat. And speaking of neat, for the little ones I absolutely love the Outdoor Kitchen by Hape. It's not a real kitchen of course but it's a really cool miniature toy version of an outdoor kitchen setup! Come on TOTY Awards, let's break this one up by age groups! PRESCHOOL TOY OF THE YEAR: Ok, there were some good ones in here and maybe I'm judging on my own male bias from a bygone era but my favorite here was the Little Tikes Creative Construction Power Cuts Set by MGA Entertainment. It's a woodworking shop playset with an actual working , low-powered plastic chop saw which cuts through foam 2x4s and also comes with a play hammer, nails, measuring tape and carpenter pencil which is actually a marker. In the video demonstration I watched, the chop saw did struggle getting through the foam wood, but when you're talking about preschoolers, that's probably about the best you can hope for. We desperately need more encouragement and inspiring of our youth towards the skilled trades in my humble opinion and this is a refreshing step in that direction. Nicely done! SPECIALTY TOY OF THE YEAR: I was truly taken by the Yes & Know Original Invisible Ink Trivia Game Books by Tree Town Toys. These are basically activity books where different things are revealed with the use of a special invisible ink pen. This looks fantastic for keeping the younguns busy on a road trip or maybe in a waiting room or anywhere you want to keep them distracted. That is until you run out of invisible ink and invisible ink activity books! And those are my picks for the 2026 TOTY AWARDS and THAT'S our look ahead at what's hot on the horizon for 2026! What are YOU looking forward to? Let me know! If you’re enjoying this episode on one of the socials, leave a comment. Otherwise you can email me at neil @ dandyfunhouse . com And even though I said I wasn't going to do a retrospective of this past year, I will tell you my favorite Dandy Fun House episode from this past year of 2025: Oh, who am I kidding? It's always the Halloween episode where the Dandy Fun House becomes the Dandy Spook Shack and I get to dress up like a ghoul. But my second favorite might have to be the deep dive into the iconic toy company WHAM-O! I learned so much doing that one! You might think I just come on here and already know all this stuff I talk about but on the contrary, I do a great deal of research in the weeks leading up to producing an episode and I'm constantly learning amazing new things which is why I really love doing this! DANDY FUN HOUSE Plans for 2026? More of the same of course! We're getting really close to monetization on YouTube. Technically we're already supposed to be there but YouTube gives conflicting information on this and is notorious for constantly moving the goalposts. So while we love publishing to YouTube, we certainly don't put all our Dandy Eggs in that basket. We also publish to Instagram, Facebook, X, Tik Tok and Rumble as well as our very own DANDY FUN HOUSE WEBSITE AT dandyfunhouse.com where you can watch the video, listen and subscribe to the podcast or read the entire episode in written form along with pictures! Who does that!? WE DO! THAT'S WHO! And we do it by hand. No AI stuff. Okay, full disclosure, we DO use AI to help transcribe the episodes into written form and also the captions for the short form videos, but it always gets things wrong so we always go over it personally and make the needed corrections. But while you're on our website checking out all the episodes and buying stuff from the Dandy Fun Shop, be sure to visit our PATRONAGE PAGE where you can support future productions with your modest financial gifts! SUPPORTERS gain access exclusive bonus content AND SUPER SUPPORTERS gain that same access plus I’ll personally send you something amazing from right here at the Dandy Fun House Studios if you include your mailing address! Podcast Listeners may often support through a donation link in your listening app of choice of the app offers it, I understand not all do. And your 5 star reviews wherever you can leave them are always highly appreciated! And THAT ladies and gentlemen sticks a fork in 2025. Please don't forget the reason for the season, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and come on back next year for some amazing new frivolities in 2026! You never know what kind of crazy trouble we could get into, right here at the Dandy Fun House where everything is always FUN AND DANDY! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year everybody!

From a doomed Arnold Schwarzenegger/Ridley Scott collaboration to Will Smith's blockbuster hit, the journey of I Am Legend to the screen is as dramatic as the apocalypse it depicts. Three wildly different film adaptations, a legendary unmade version; this story of humanity's end keeps haunting Hollywood.This is not the first adaptation of Richard Matheson's book I Am Legend. Vincent Price battled zombie-vampires in 1964's stark black-and-white thriller The Last Man on Earth. Charlton Heston faced off against intelligent albino mutants called "the Family" in 1971's, The Omega Man. Each adaptation changed the creatures, the cause of the apocalypse, and crucially, gave audiences hope where the book offered none.With only 16 weeks of prep time, the Will Smith/Francis Lawrence version, this time named I Am Legend, spent years in development hell, and quickly went from a 40-page outline to a greenlit blockbuster, and to say it was chaotic is an understatement. Whole New York City blocks were closed off for filming, and one scene on the Brooklyn Bridge cost $5 million for just six nights of filming. One week into filming, director Francis Lawrence panicked and switched from practical makeup effects to CGI, extending post-production and inflating the budget. The team was still seeing finished visual effects shots just one month before the film's release, leading to last-minute reshoots to adjust the controversial ending.I Am Legend offers a unique blend of action and deep emotional storytelling, highlighting human isolation and the struggle for survival, with one of the bestest canine companions in film. Will Smith's performance as Dr. Robert Neville is both captivating and heartbreaking, showcasing his character's descent into loneliness, and the eerie depiction of an empty New York City resonates deeply in today's world, reflecting on themes of loss and solitude in a pandemic context.

Robert Neville, el último hombre sobre la Tierra, mira a los ojos de un vampiro y ve algo que nunca imaginó: miedo. Pero no hacia los vampiros, sino hacia él mismo. La historia de Soy Leyenda NO habla del fin del mundo. Habla de algo más inquietante: de lo que pasa cuando el mundo sigue… pero tú ya no perteneces a él.
Andy Walsh and TJ Blackwell dive deep into the chilling world of Richard Matheson's "I Am Legend" in this episode of the "All Reading Counts" series. They kick things off by highlighting how this novella is not just a classic vampire tale but a profound exploration of isolation and humanity's resilience in the face of overwhelming odds. With a relaxed vibe, they banter about their reading experiences and the novella's impact, noting how it's been adapted more times than a pair of jeans on laundry day. As they dissect the story's themes and Matheson's unique take on vampirism through a scientific lens, listeners get a front-row seat to the discussions that make literature so engaging. Expect a mix of witty remarks and thoughtful insights as they bring "I Am Legend" to life, proving that every form of literature counts in the quest for literacy!Takeaways: In this episode, the hosts dive deep into the significance of novellas, showcasing how these shorter literary forms can pack a punch and convey complex themes in a compact format. They highlight 'I Am Legend' as a groundbreaking work that not only influenced the horror genre but also served as a precursor to modern vampire and zombie narratives, reshaping how these creatures are perceived. The discussion touches on the nuances of the novella's themes, such as isolation, survival, and the psychological evolution of its protagonist, Robert Neville, amidst a world turned upside down by a vampire pandemic.

Num cenário pós-apocalíptico, o último podcast da Terra enfrenta as temidas criaturas da noite que nos chamam sem parar. Partindo do livro Eu Sou a Lenda, de 1954, o episódio de hoje se propõe a analisar a história e as (muitas, mais do que vocês podem imaginar) adaptações cinematográficas da história de Robert Neville, o único sobrevivente de uma pandemia que transformou os outros seres humanos em violentos vampiros sedentos por sangue. Trace sua melhor estratégia de sobrevivência, não confie em qualquer um e não segure o choro quando a Sam aparecer.

Soy Leyenda, de Richard Matheson, es una novela fundamental de la ciencia ficción y el terror moderno. Publicada en 1954, narra la vida de Robert Neville, el último hombre vivo en un mundo devastado por una plaga que ha transformado a la humanidad en criaturas vampíricas. Aislado, rodeado por monstruos y enfrentado a su propia cordura, Neville encarna la figura del superviviente trágico. La obra combina horror, ciencia y una profunda reflexión sobre la otredad, la normalidad y el concepto de monstruo. Con un final demoledor, redefine quién es la verdadera leyenda cuando todo lo demás ha desaparecido. ⚠️ Si este programa te ha gustado: comenta, dale a me gusta, compártelo.

A la recherche d'un remède pour les sauver et étant immunisé, il essaye de survivre en les tuant ou en les capturant pour tester des remèdes.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/11/15/pofcrit-podcast-2024-jake-diamond-on-i-am-legend-francis-lawrence-2007/ In this podcast we will discuss the often-overlooked 2007 adaptation of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. Following Will Smith's rendition of Dr Robert Neville, a virologist and last man on earth, it focuses on the psychological deterioration and complex need for coping mechanisms one would face when confronted with complete existentialism. We will discuss the difficulties of adaptation and where focus can often be shifted with minute changes, forcing different interpretations; as well as how the 2007 version - with its complicated production - is the most poignant when it comes to the horror of isolation. Additionally, we will discuss a key element, which is the paradoxical situation Robert Neville finds himself in, because as the tagline states: The Last man on Earth isn't alone.
Hé daar zijn we weer... Lekker onaangekondigd komt Rudiepoes je weer een nieuwe aflevering door de strot duwen. Ineens. Zomaar. Zomaar? Nee, natuurlijk niet! Het Leiden International FIlm Festival (LIFF) komt er weer aan! Van 10 t/m 20 oktober zie je in de Leidense filmzalen weer een hoop mooie nieuwe titels. En in aanloop daarnaar schuift festivaldirecteur Ratna Lachmansingh graag even aan om een lans te breken voor een film die ze heel dierbaa-... nou vooruit, die ze gewoon leuk vindt: I Am Legend uit 2007, met Will Smith in de hoofdrol. Als man, helemaal alleen op aarde, behalve dan die vervelende zombieachtige lui die de nacht komen verstoren. De mensheid is kapotgemaakt door een virus. De meesten stierven meteen, een piepklein aandeel was immuun, en de rest? Ja, dat zijn die wezens geworden. En dr. Robert Neville, oftewel Smith, heeft er maar mee te kampen. En dan gaat het ook over de vergelijking die regisseur Frances Lawrence er blijkbaar in wilde trekken met AIDS, de eerdere twee verfilmingen van hetzelfde boek en ook komt Dr. Fauci ter sprake.

Send us a Text Message.Ever find yourself musing over the survival skills you'd need in a barren New York City, or the psychological battle of facing a world overrun by the infected? That's what we tackle as we dissect the post-apocalyptic universe of "I Am Legend." From the grit of urban survival to the eerie quiet of the woods at night, we're sharing our most vivid insights and personal tales that'll have you reconsidering every shadow.This episode isn't just about the thrills of a desolate landscape; it's an exploration into the human spirit, the frightening layers of solitude, and the heartwarming solace found in canine companionship amidst chaos. Our discussion swings from the suspenseful to the scientific, mulling over the nuances of maintaining a lab in isolation and the stark realities of resource availability when nature reclaims her turf. The conversation ventures through the moral maze of the protagonist's actions, ties in real-world health debates sparked by a Swedish experiment, and critiques the preparedness of our favorite movie survivalist.Join us as we recount bone-chilling encounters with the unknown and circle back to the warmth of human (and animal) connection that keeps the fire of hope alive. We're not just breaking down a movie here; we're sharing personal experiences that echo the challenges faced by Robert Neville and analyzing survival strategies that could be the difference between life and death in a world forever changed. Strap in; this journey is anything but typical.
Oggi ti parlerò di un film del 2007Io sono leggenda, (I Am Legend) è stato diretto da Francis Lawrence, regista statunitense (ma nato a Vienna), famoso soprattutto per aver diretto Constantine e tutta la saga di Hunger Games. L'interprete principale, Willard Carroll Smith II, detto will smith (e non sto facendo propaganda elettorale) è diventato famoso per i film Bad Boys, indipendence day, e men in black. Per Io sono leggenda ha ricevuto numerose candidature, vincendo MTV Movie awards, Saturn Award e Teen choice award come migliore attore protagonista. (Qualche malalingua direbbe: per forza, era l'ultimo uomo sulla terra…)Nel film interpreta Robert Neville.
On episode 11 of Matt and Mike Read Comics, Matt and Mike read I Am Legend…the comic! Yes, the legendary and timeless novel from Richard Matheson got a comic book adaptation in the 80's and it's a sight to behold. Truly a graphic novel, Steven Niles and Elman Brown adapt the story with gripping words and beautiful art. The art, specifically, is very unique as it is only pencils and ink. With very little dialogue - mostly because the main character, Robert Neville spends the bulk of the story by himself - the story is truly told with words and accompanying pictures. Very unique in the world of comics and a truly special read. Much better than the shitty Will Smith movie.
"An hour in, this is where I think the film jettisons the thoughtful, melancholic and reflective tone for action and it's all the worse for it." Sarah from Weird Horizon returns with yet another feel good film, containing multiple dog deaths. No crushed hands this time. Sarah and Sean then do a really in-depth analysis of the film, before watching the alternative ending and give their verdict on it. Discussion Points: -Dog deaths in film. -The hype for this film back in 2007. -Will Smith's powerhouse performance. -Reviewing this film in a post-pandemic. -The shift in the tone of this film. -The beautiful soundtrack. -Sarah enjoys the little details of how Robert has survived the last three years. -Why Sean wants to turn the film off after an hour. -Expectations versus reality, e.g. the Statue of Liberty's head. -The strength of the melancholic, slow-burn scenes. -Sean's version of the third act. -Sarah and Sean both loved the flashback scenes. -The lack of single-handed films; 'The Shallows' starring Blake Lively is another good example. -Sarah believes locking yourself in a room is not a solution. -Robert's view of the infected as 'monsters'. -Big American flags. -Sean sings the American National Anthem. Raised Questions: -Does Sean need to introduce himself? (That's not meant to sound pretentious) -Was 2007 overloaded with apocalypse films? -Why does Sean insult the majority of his audience? -Is the CGI egregious? -Would this film have been better if they hadn't shown the 'monsters' at all? -Do they waste the hour of build up in the last half an hour? -Should they have kept Robert Neville as the only human in the film? -Are you interested in the sequel? -Which medication was Robert taking after his dog dies? -What was he saving that bacon for? -Where is the extended cut of this film, seriously? -Do the 'monsters' attempt to stay away from Robert? Zombie Recommendations: -In The Flesh (2013-2014), a BBC Three TV Series. -28 Days Later (2002). -George A. Romero's Land of the Dead (2005).

The Last Man on Earth (1964) The Last Man on Earth is a 1964 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film based on the 1954 novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson. The film was produced by Robert L. Lippert and directed by Ubaldo Ragona and Sidney Salkow, and stars Vincent Price and Franca Bettoia. The screenplay was written in part by Matheson, but he was dissatisfied with the result and chose to be credited as "Logan Swanson". William Leicester, Furio M. Monetti, and Ubaldo Ragona finished the script. The Last Man on Earth was filmed in Rome, with scenes being completed at Esposizione Universale Roma. It was released in the United States by American International Pictures. In the 1980s, the film entered the public domain. MGM Home Video, the current owners of the AIP film catalog, released a digitally remastered widescreen version of the film on DVD in September 2005. I Am Legend (2007) I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic action thriller film loosely based on the 1954 novel of the same name by Richard Matheson. Directed by Francis Lawrence from a screenplay by Akiva Goldsman and Mark Protosevich, the film stars Will Smith as US Army virologist Robert Neville. It is set in New York City after a virus, which was originally created to cure cancer, has wiped out most of mankind, leaving Neville as the last human in New York, other than nocturnal mutants. Neville is immune to the virus, and he works to develop a cure while defending himself against the hostile mutants. It is the third feature-film adaptation of Matheson's novel following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.

We brought back Will Smith expert Davis Wallace to guest host I Am Legend (2007). This sci-fi movie hits a little different post Covid-19. We delve into some of the behind the scene changes that affected the outcome of the film and discuss what was missing from Will's portrayal of Robert Neville in order to make this a breakout performance.
On the podcast this time, Steven and Sean are trying not to get eaten by zombie vampire creatures while also dealing with a post-apocalyptic world. This time, we're talking about the Francis Lawrence film from 2007, I Am Legend.It may seem callous to say, but I hope that no animals will be able to survive a real apocalypse like the one shown in this film. It would be sad, for sure. However, I sure as hell don't want to do what Robert Neville had to do to his poor dog.That may have been one of the most heartbreaking things ever.The rest of the film, though? Pretty dang clever and exciting. As far as ends of the world go, this one didn't seem particularly bad. All you've got to do is keep to a schedule and cover your tracks at all times. Seems like a person could make that work.I won't ever say I could, but Neville certainly did.

Con esta pandemia traemos una novela atemporal, post-apocalíptica que parecería de ciencia ficción y terror pero ya llegamos a esas instancias del libro, a través de los pasos de Robert Neville vivimos la pandemia de 1975, el único hombre en la faz de la tierra queriendo salvar al mundo el cual lo convertirá en "Soy Leyenda"
A história se passa em um futuro não muito distante, quando todo o mundo é assolado por uma impiedosa praga. Homens, mulheres e até crianças são transformados em monstros carnívoros, e é nesse cenário pós-apocalíptico, tomado por criaturas da noite sedentas de sangue, que Robert Neville se torna o último homem na Terra e passa os dias em busca de comida e suprimentos, lutando para manter-se vivo e são. Mas os infectados espreitam pelas sombras, prontos para acabar com o último bastião da humanidade.
Let's talk about dogs: doggos, puppers, and vampire-bacteria-infected-canines. Robert Neville gets a dog in these chapters and it's a heart-breaker. We also do a deep dive into male stoicism and the under-lying societal causes. So it's a light-hearted easy-breezy one, is what we're promising.
Just like Robert Neville pumping shotgun shells into the undead, we unload right away on white male privilege, proportional biases during a pandemic, and whether or not sport peppers could stave off a zombie horde as well as garlic. Tackling the really profound topics this week on Literary Guise!

Il titolo della diciassettesima puntata della terza stagione di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da: “Io sono Leggenda” (I Am Legend), che è un film del 2007 diretto da Francis Lawrence.Basato sull’omonimo romanzo di Richard Matheson, la pellicola è interpretata magistralmente da Will Smith.Robert Neville è uno scienziato che vive a New York ed è l’ “ultimo” uomo sopravvissuto sulla terra.Si ritrova in un mondo devastato da un virus che ha sterminato il 90% della popolazione mondiale, l’1% dell’ umanità invece è risultato immune a questo virus creato dall’uomo stesso per curare il cancro, il vero problema di Neville è il restante 9% della popolazione che si è trasformata nel frattempo in esseri privi di qualsiasi caratteristica umana che hanno ucciso e mangiato i sopravvissuti ancora sani a parte Robert che cerca un vaccino per curare i contagiati.Non è facile costruire un film su un solo attore (se si escludono il cane, i vampiri, qualche flashback e due superstiti), e il day by day del protagonista è scandito con lentezza, quasi a voler fare respirare allo spettatore il senso di solitudine.A dispetto della necessità di includere la componente horror (le scene d’azione sono presenti per coinvolgere il target giovane), a parte la mezz’ora finale, Io sono leggenda, si concentra sul singolo, sull’uomo che poteva cambiare il mondo, su chi ha la consapevolezza che è molto semplice distruggere ciò che si ha per le mani tutti i giorni.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo particolare alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare il match tra i bianconeri campioni d’Italia e l’Inter che è stato al di la del risultato favorevole per gli ospiti, teatro dell’ulteriore impresa della “Leggenda” tra i pali, al secolo Gianluigi Buffon.Giocando nella semifinale d’andata di Coppa Italia contro l’Inter, il portiere ha toccato le 1100 partite giocate in carriera.679 presenze con la maglia della Juventus, 220 col Parma, 176 con l’azzurro della Nazionale e 25 col Paris Saint-Germain: in totale 1100 partite disputate per Gianluigi Buffon.L’ennesimo traguardo di una carriera incredibile, che continua a sfidare il tempo: lo scorso 28 gennaio il portiere ha compiuto 43 anni, “festeggiando” peraltro in campo contro la Spal il giorno prima, nei quarti di finale di Coppa Italia.Nella gara d’andata del turno successivo, contro l’Inter, Buffon ha toccato quota 1100 da professionista. “1100 volte come la prima volta. Adesso. Ancora una volta. Fino alla fine!” ha commentato il giocatore sui social, dopo la vittoria sui nerazzurri che l’ha visto protagonista.Prima in negativo, con un intervento impreciso sul gol di Lautaro Martinez, poi in positivo quando nella ripresa si è opposto alla sua maniera sulla conclusione pericolosa di Darmian, il quale si trovava la palla da sparare in porta a tu per tu con Buffon, che però chiude la saracinesca e dice di “no”, parata che si rivelerà decisiva per l’1-2 finale in quel di San Siro.Anche la Juve al termine della partita ha omaggiato Buffon sui social: “La Leggenda continua ancora e ancora” ha scritto il club sull’account di lingua inglese.Andando a ritroso, la sua appunto leggendaria epopea a tinte bianconere inizia nell’estate del 2001 quando è acquistato dalla Juventus, per la cifra record di 105 miliardi di lire (70 in contanti più la cessione di Bachini), risultando il giocatore più pagato nella storia della società torinese, «Una cosa è certa: la misura della porta è la stessa. Probabilmente i momenti positivi e negativi saranno diversi. Ma dovrò prepararmi per non deludere», le parole di Gigi subito dopo il suo arrivo in bianconero.Una leggenda che come noto si consacrerà anche a livello internazionale in maglia azzurra.Il 9 luglio 2006, all’Olympia stadion di Berlino, si aggiudica la Coppa del Mondo.Nell’intero torneo subisce solamente due reti: una dal suo compagno Zaccardo e una da Zidane, su calcio di rigore; ma le sue prestazioni sono incredibili, tanto da meritarsi il Premio Yashin, quale migliore portiere della manifestazione.Nella stessa estate, la Juventus è retrocessa in Serie B; Gigi, nonostante sia corteggiato dalle società più prestigiose del mondo, decide di continuare la sua avventura con la società bianconera: «Stavo per andarmene. Stavo per lasciare la Juventus. Ma prima, quando procedevamo col vento in poppa, fra vittorie e applausi, non dopo, non quando lo scandalo ci ha travolti, non quando la tempesta ci ha inghiottiti. Questa è la storia di un paradosso: io sono rimasto perché la Juve è stata accusata, processata, condannata, retrocessa in Serie B. Ho fatto la scelta giusta, una scelta da Gigi».Anche in questa estrema manifestazione d’affetto e di attaccamento alla maglia Gigi Buffon ha dimostrato, se mai ce ne fosse bisogno, proprio come il protagonista della pellicola che da il titolo all’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS, che le leggende non scappano, non si nascondono, ma restano saldi al loro posto come un faro ed esempio per chi vorrà imitarli ed ammirarli, anche a costo di restare da soli, Buffon nella solitudine tra i pali che difende, così come lo fu Will Smith in una New York post apocalittica.Quel ragazzino che voleva giocare a calcio per le scarpe, la tuta, la borsa non dando importanza alla squadra, adesso è quell’uomo di 43 anni, o meglio adesso è “Leggenda”.Sarà nostro gradito ospite l’amico Romeo Agresti corrispondente di Goal.com.Diteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live!

For November's Donor Pick episode, our listeners chose an additional movie that features a dog, and we might just regret this being on the list a bit considering what happens. Still, our conversation was a fun one as we thought about how this film parallels the world today, whether or not we could survive alone like Robert Neville, and what makes a compelling creature antagonist. *I Am Legend Spoiler Review - 06:12* *The Connecting Point - 0:59:40* *Follow & Subscribe* Aaron * Twitter ( http://twitter.com/aaronelwhite ) * Facebook ( http://facebook.com/aaronelwhite ) Patrick * Twitter ( http://twitter.com/shoelesspatch ) * Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/shoelesspatch ) Feelin' Film * Facebook ( https://www.facebook.com/feelinfilm/ ) * Twitter ( http://twitter.com/feelinfilm ) * Instagram ( https://www.instagram.com/feelinfilmpodcast/ ) * Website ( http://feelinfilm.com/ ) * Email feelinfilm@gmail.com * Feelin' Film on Apple Podcasts ( https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/feelin-film-podcast/id1101052601?ign-mpt=uo%3D4&mt=2 ) * Feelin' Film on Google Play ( https://play.google.com/music/m/Ifyujauepw2kgzhdfoatxqje6me?t=Feelin_Film ) * Feelin' Film on Stitcher ( https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/feelin-film ) * Feelin' Film on TuneIn ( https://tunein.com/radio/Feelin-Film-p861830/ ) * Feelin' Film on Overcast ( https://overcast.fm/itunes1101052601/feelin-film ) * Feelin' Film on Spotify ( https://open.spotify.com/show/1hPdS31VUraYME02XV6Xzc ) *Join the Facebook Discussion Group* ( https://www.facebook.com/groups/1162223530455455/ ) *Support us on Patreon & get awesome rewards* ( https://www.patreon.com/FeelinFilm ) Rate/Review us on iTunes ( https://geo.itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/feelin-film-podcast/id1101052601?mt=2 ) and on your podcast app of choice!

Robert Neville è l'ultimo uomo vivente sulla terra, eppure non è solo. Infatti un morbo endemico e incurabile ha trasformato uomini, donne e bambini in vampiri assetati di sangue. Di giorno Robert attraversa le rovine della civiltà, seguendo le tracce dei mostri come un cacciatore sulle orme della preda, mentre di notte si barrica in casa, assediato dalle creature delle tenebre, e implora che sorga presto il sole. Matheson immagina un uomo solo in un mondo di creature mostruose, dando vita a uno degli scenari più fortunati della letteratura e del cinema novecentesco. Quello che l'autore dipinge è un mondo apocalittico nel quale ogni valore e ogni certezza vengono stravolti. Letto da Valerio Amoruso.

In this episode, Kyla and I have a drink with Cody! We talk about one of his favorite movies, Warner Bros. 2007 I Am Legend, starring Will Smith as Dr. Robert Neville. Cody's drink of choice Proper 12, a very stout Irish Whiskey, and Coca Cola. Our conversation focused on how amazing it is to see Will Smith carry a movie virtually by himself, the feeling of horror felt in this post-apocalyptic world, and how discuss how prescient this movie is in light of this, COVID-19 pandemic. As always, we ask anyone drinking to do so responsibly. I Am Legend. Dir. Francis Lawrence. Perf. Will Smith, Alica Braga.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜http://www.filmgarantiti.it/it/articoli.php?id=53SCHIAFFO MORALE ALLA PRESUNTA ONNIPOTENZA DELLA SCIENZAIn seguito ad un'epidemia causata da un presunto rimedio contro il cancro (incautamente sperimentato sull'uomo), lo scienziato Robert Neville si muove per New York alla luce del giorno con il suo cane lupo convinto di essere l'unico superstite sulla Terra.Nella quotidiana attesa di risposta al suo sos lanciato con la radio, tenta di preparare un vaccino per curare l'infezione. Ma durante la notte gli infetti escono dai loro nascondigli e danno la caccia a qualsiasi cosa si muova.Il regista crea il giusto scenario inquietante, tiene viva l'attenzione, coinvolge muovendosi nei tortuosi meandri della difficile convivenza tra bene e male, normalità e pazzia, razionalità e sentimentalismo.Ottima la scena di inizio film: l'ironica risposta visuale alle parole della dottoressa che per curare il cancro ha inventato un virus geneticamente modificato, e ne parla in tv paragonandolo a un'auto potentissima guidata in autostrada da un poliziotto anziché da un uomo cattivo. Lo stacco a pochi anni dopo (quando il virus ha ammazzato quasi tutti, trasformato i sopravvissuti in zombi e distrutto la civiltà) mostra il poliziotto protagonista del film sfrecciare con la sua auto come aveva profetizzato la dottoressa... ma con conseguenze disastrose. Si rivela così il tema di fondo del film che critica la presunta onnipotenza della ricerca scientifica.Inoltre il film ben evidenzia le ferite che si aprono negli spazi della metafisica con un tentativo di risposta alla domanda "Se Dio è buono, perché permette il male?".Ottimo inoltre il tema della vittoria della luce nei confronti del buio.In sottofondo si trova anche il tema della provvidenza divina con un invito ad ascoltare i segni.Molte scene horror e di elevata tensione lasciano lo spettatore inchiodato alla poltrona per cui se ne sconsiglia la visione ai minori.Ultima annotazione: il film è senz'altro da preferire al libro da cui il film trae ispirazione. Un esempio, per capire: il senso della frase che dà il titolo alle due opere è significativamente diverso. Nel libro, Neville diventa una "leggenda" tra i vampiri, che ormai costituiscono la condizione di normalità, proprio come i vampiri precedentemente lo erano per l'uomo; pertanto, il suo ultimo pensiero è "Io sono leggenda", che è anche l'ultima riga del libro. Nel film, Neville diventa una "leggenda" perché offre la cura ai rimanenti sopravvissuti, garantendo così la salvezza dell'umanità e l'eventuale ritorno alla precedente normalità umana agli infetti.

Il titolo della ventiduesima puntata della stagione numero due di J-TACTICS, trae spunto da: "Io sono leggenda" che è un film del 2007 diretto da Francis Lawrence.Basato sull’omonimo romanzo di Richard Matheson.2012, Robert Neville sembra essere l’unico sopravvissuto ad una spaventosa pandemia.L’epidemia ha infettato quasi tutti gli esseri umani e gli animali uccidendoli nella stragrande maggioranza dei casi o in minor percentuale provocando una degenerazione simile a quella provocata dalla rabbia che ha condotto tali persone ad uno stato simile a quello di vampiri.Il dottor Neville è un virologo militare che barricatosi nella sua casa di New York conduce, nel laboratorio sotterraneo, degli esperimenti su cavie infette per trovare una cura all’epidemia.Robert oramai convinto di essere l’unico rimasto sulla terra, esce di notte per uccidere il maggior numero di infetti.Nel momento in cui egli sta per essere sopraffatto e tutto sembra irrimediabilmente perduto, l’arrivo di una donna e di un bambino, lo salva dall’assalto degli infetti.I tre si rifugiano a casa di Robert.La quale verrà poi assaltata dagli infetti, ma il dottor Neville scopre che la donna infetta a cui aveva precedentemente somministrato il vaccino sta progressivamente guarendo.L’uomo preleva un campione di sangue della cavia e lo consegna ad Anna affinché si possa ricavare un antidoto per curare la malattia e salvare l’umanità.Robert si sacrifica e per permettere agli altri due di fuggire, si fa esplodere insieme agli infetti.Anna ed il bambino raggiungono la colonia di sopravvissuti.La cura del dottor Neville ha dunque salvato il mondo, la storia di Robert raccontata poi da Anna stessa creerà la sua leggenda.Facendo la nostra solita trasposizione dalla cinematografia al mondo del calcio, ed in modo specifico alle vicende juventine, potremo utilizzare il titolo e le vicende narrate nella pellicola per analizzare il big match giocato finalmente domenica, Juve-Inter ed il clima e le polemiche che lo hanno per lunghi giorni preceduto ed il caos venutosi a creare nel mondo del calcio e non solo a causa della pandemia scatenata dal cd. Coronavirus.Una Juve ed il suo tecnico Maurizio Sarri dati per spacciati per via del momento difficile che stavano attraversando.Un Sarri circondato e solo proprio come il dottor Neville della pellicola che dà il titolo all’odierna puntata di J-TACTICS.Il tecnico toscano, da molti dato appunto per spacciato, alla ricerca silenziosa di un “vaccino” per guarire i mali di una Juve “infetta”.Proprio come il Robert del film, Maurizio Sarri si getta come agnello sacrificale, affrontando la sfida in un Allianz Stadium deserto e surreale con l’Inter dell’ex Conte, e vince.Vince, presentando una Juve grintosa come non la si vedeva da tempo, corta, ben messa in campo con un Bentancur monumentale finalmente al posto dell’ultimamente sterile Pjanic.Lampi di sarrismo si fanno nuovamente largo così come fu nel match d’andata giocato al Meazza, con scambi veloci nello stretto e verticalizzazioni ficcanti ed improvvise, proprio come abbiamo potuto ammirare nel primo gol firmato dal gallese Ramsey e soprattutto nel gol capolavoro in stile Sivori messo a segno da Paulo Dybala autore di una serpentina che nasce da una fitta e veloce ragnatela di passaggi iniziata nella metà campo dei campioni d’Italia appunto culminata nel gol della “Joya” bianconera.Sarri trova quindi come Robert l’antidoto, ed in uno spettrale Stadium in cui il silenzio è rotto solo dalle grida dei membri della panchina bianconera e di pochi altri, urla, urla a squarciagola al secondo sigillo di Dybala che di fatto mette fine all’incontro, alle polemiche che l’hanno preceduto e sana le paure connesse ad esso.Juve-Inter termina 2-0, il campionato di serie A e tutti gli altri tornei minori si fermeranno almeno fino al 03 aprile, nessuno sa se il calcio professionistico e non, potrà ripartire regolarmente dopo tale data.A prescindere tuttavia da quando e se rivedremo per questa stagione riprendere in Italia il gioco più bello del mondo, una cosa appare certa, la Juve malata e moribonda ha forse trovato insieme al suo allenatore, nella vittoria con l’Inter il vaccino per i suoi mali.Come disse qualcuno infatti proprio per celebrare, neanche a farlo apposta, una vittoria contro i nerazzurri: “La Juve non muore letteralmente mai”.Se questa vittoria poi, ottenuta anche grazie ai suoi dettami tattici, si rivelerà veramente “vaccino” contro i mali dei campioni d’Italia, allora mister Sarri potrà dire: “Io sono leggenda”.Diteci la vostra, interagiremo con voi in chat live!Ecco i link dei nostri social:CANALE TELEGRAM:https://t.me/joinchat/AAAAAE2Dp-yj5b1N4SNcMQINSTAGRAM:http://instagram.com/jtactics_FACEBOOK:http://m.facebook.com/jtacticsmdn/

Book Vs Movie “I Am Legend” The Richard Matheson Novel Vs. the Will Smith Movie The Margos are back and ready to get a little post-apocalyptic with the 1954 classic novella I Am Legend from prolific storyteller Richard Matheson. Set in 1970s Southern California, the novel is about the life of Robert Neville, the seemingly only survivor of a worldwide pandemic which causes people to turn into vampires. Robert’s life is filled with drinking, madness and fear and Matheson’s writing becomes venerated by future horror writers like Stephen King. The film has been remade three times and the Margos decided to focus on the 2007 Will Smith film directed by Francis Lawrence (even though we both forgot about THAT dog scene--yikes!) So between the novel and the movie--which did we like better? Click the link at the bottom to find out.

Current Issues in Social Ethics and Religion with Gary Dorrien, Ph.D. Professor Dorrien has recently published books that address two issues currently central to the American political dialogue: 1) white supremacy, and 2) the meaning and origins of Social Democracy. In this brief series he will share his thoughts and the perspectives of religious imagination on both of these two critical issues. March 10: Social Democratic Decency: Then and Now In this session, Prof. Dorrien will address the issues he raises in his most recent publication, due to be released this month by Yale University Press. The title of his book: "Social Democracy in the Making: The Political and Religious Roots of European Socialism." Gary Dorrien, Ph.D. is the Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Theology and Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, and Professor of Religion at Columbia University. His writings and research have ranged across many fields including ethics, social theory, theology, philosophy, politics, economics, and history. Philosopher Cornell West has described Dorrien as “the preeminent social ethicist in North America today,” and Robert Neville has claimed he is “the most rigorous theological historian of our time.” A graduate of Albion College (B.A.) and Union Theological Seminary (M.Div. and Ph.D.), Professor Dorrien taught Religious Studies at Kalamazoo College for 18 years, where he was named the Parfet Distinguished Professor, served as Dean of Stetson Chapel, and directed the Liberal Arts Colloquium, before accepting his current position as a teacher of theology and social ethics at Union Theological Seminary. His book, "The New Abolition," was awarded the Grawemeyer Award in 2017, and his newest publication, "Breaking White Supremacy," just won the Choice Award in January of this year.

Boston Confucianism, which argues for the applicability of Confucian values globally, rather than just in East Asia, is an intellectual movement pioneered by Dr. Robert Neville (former Dean of Marsh Chapel and the School of Theology; currently a professor of Philosophy, Religion and Theology at BU). Here, we discuss the inception of Boston Confucianism and the many potential points of contact between Confucianism and the west.

I Am Legend, published in 1964 by Robert Matheson, is a book that has been adapted into a movie three different times. We dissect each adaption into the bits of the good, the bad, and the imperfect of retelling an awesome tale cinematically. Breanna @bloodyhorrorbri joins Jerry, Chris, and Josh for this episode record in July 2014. I Am Legend by Richard Matheson I Am Legend was a great exploration into the mind of a man trapped within the solidarity of time. After an event transforms the world population into vampiric beings, Robert Neville is seemingly the last man on earth. His only company comes from the haunted calls of an annoying neighbor and flirtatious taunts by naked woman whose sole purpose is to remind Robert that he is indeed still human. Movie Adaptations I Am Legend starring Will Smith is the best depiction of the solitude Robert Neville experience being the only person living in New York City. Omega Man explores the cult fascination of a subplot briefly mentioned in novel, I Am Legend. This subplot served as a great twist into who becomes the monster when the term monster becomes debatable. The Last Man on Earth was the best all around adaptation of the book. Not many creative licenses were taken as the screenplay was written by Matheson himself. Vincent Price was excellent as Robert Neville and his hatred for his neighbor Cormack rang true through his great ability to express how much he detested that pesky vampire. Tangents Night of the Living Dead - Romero has accredited to "The Last Man on Earth" to being an inspiration to "Night of the Living". The Black Guy Lives - Romero was never one to kill off the black man first in his zombie movies. I all other instances, brotha, you better run! Zombies Evolve - Should something considered "dead" be capable of learning how to shoot a gun?

In this episode Dr. Shepherd interviews Dr. Gary Dorrien, who currently serves as the Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary, and Professor of Religion at Columbia University. An Episcopal priest and multisport athlete, professor Dorrien is the author of 14 books and more than 250 articles on ethics, social theory, theology, philosophy, politics and history. Princeton University philosopher Cornel West calls him, "The preeminent social ethicist in North America today," and Boston University's Robert Neville says professor Dorrien is "The most rigorous theological historian of our time, moving from analyses of social context and personal struggles through the most abstruse theological and metaphysical issues." Put on your thinking cap and join us as Dr. Tom and his guest make some deep ideas accessible to everyone.
Gary Dorrien is the Reinhold Niebuhr Professor of Social Ethics at Union Theological Seminary and Professor of Religion at Columbia University. An Episcopal priest, he was previously the Parfet Distinguished Professor at Kalamazoo College, where he taught for 18 years and also served as Dean of Stetson Chapel. Professor Dorrien is the author of 13 books and approximately 175 articles that range across the fields of ethics, social theory, theology, philosophy, politics, and history. Praised for their "intellectual creativity" and "stylish prose," these works include four books on social ethics and economic democracy, two acclaimed books on political neoconservatism, and a trilogy titled The Making of American Liberal Democracy: (I) Imagining Progressive Religion; (II) Idealism, Realism, and Modernity; (III) Crisis, Irony, and Postmodernity. More than thirty reviewers have described the trilogy on liberalism as the definitive work in the field. The Expository Times called it "an endeavor best described, by all accounts, as magisterial, definitive, and authoritative." The Christian Century called it "a magnificent intellectual achievement." Boston University philosophical theologian Robert Neville wrote: "Dorrien is the most rigorous theological historian of our time, moving from analyses of social context and personal struggles through the most abstruse theological and metaphysical issues."
