This time around, we discuss the 1976 cult classic film, Logan's Run.
The Ninjas also share their thoughts on comparing the original film with the novel, and what the impending remake by Joel Silver might look like.

The Ninjas also cover the theatrical movie (several different versions of it), and the more recent SciFi Channel miniseries treatment of the book. Listen to their varied opinions on the creative interpretations.
However, there are some other shows that might be of interest to the KAMN audience: The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, Pinky and the Brain, the animated Beetlejuice, Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, Wonder Woman, V, La Femme Nikita, and for me (whoo-hoo), Spenser: For Hire.

This week, we discuss the 1985 fantasy Ladyhawke. Is it a cult classic, or is it something else entirely?
For Show #10, we head back to the film vaults and pull Ladyhawke off the dusty shelves.
A cult classic fantasy starring Rutger Hauer, Michelle Pfeiffer and Matthew Broderick, we have a tale of true love thwarted by dark magics, a power struggle between a Bishop and his former captain of the guard, and a journey where a brash thief becomes a reluctant hero.

This week, we discuss Sundiver, the first novel in David Brin's award-winning Uplift series. The first book of the first trilogy, the one that started it all.
