    Found in the Ruins episode 12: Smackdown — The Omega Man vs. I Am Legend

    Greetings Wastelanders! It’s the return of the FITR Zombie Smackdown! In this corner is 1971’s The Omega Man with “glistening” Charlton Heston in his Honkey Paradise. Machine guns, Halloween masks, and convenient lighting abound! In this corner is 2007’s I Am Legend with Will Smith. It has Home Alone-style traps, dodgy medical ethics, and CGI night(ish) monsters! All this with guest host and Vampire movie expert extraordinaire Chris Holmes provide more than enough coverage to make a Fair and Balanced choice. Who will win? Who will lose? Will Hollywood ever really make a movie based on Matheson’s story? Some of these answers will be revealed in this episode of Found in the Ruins! So, take a listen and keep in mind we are Spoiler-rich!
