    Episode 16 - I am legend

    Is I Am Legend 2 a bad idea? In Episode 16 of the Film Fan Podcast, Caleb and Colby dive into the ending debate that’s split fans for years: the theatrical ending vs. the alternate ending. Which one is better? And more importantly, what does it mean for the story’s legacy if a sequel moves forward? We explore the moral implications, the original book’s intention, Will Smith’s character arc, and why a sequel might unravel the powerful themes of the original. This episode is packed with movie insight, fan frustration, and a brutally honest take on Hollywood’s obsession with sequels. 🎧 Listen, debate, and decide for yourself. 📢 New episodes every week — subscribe and never miss a breakdown. 🔗 Affiliate Links: Where to watch:Rent or buy I am legend here - https://amzn.to/461xjeUJoin Prime Video - https://amzn.to/45u6SOAGear we use: Longform Camera – https://amzn.to/4lf8y31Shortform Camera - https://amzn.to/4naZDkYMacBook Pro – https://amzn.to/3FXKPFHMacBook Air – https://amzn.to/4e8XZfuMXL Condenser Mic – https://amzn.to/4k1OMafYeti Mic – https://amzn.to/4n8vBypAudio Interface – https://amzn.to/3GaqIULSony Headphones – https://amzn.to/4lkIZh3Editing Software – Final Cut ProRecording Software – Garage Band
