Legends Podcast #635; The Road (2009)

Based on Cormac McCarthy's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, this post-apocalyptic "road movie" pairs Viggo Mortensen and Kodi Smit-McPhee as father and son traversing a hostile landscape. Co-starring Charlize Theron, Robert Duvall, Michael K. Williams, Garrett Dillahunt, and Guy Pearce - in about one scene each - the film presents a stark and desolate landscape ravaged by a civilization-ending calamity. (And no wonder - they shot it in Pittsburgh!) Following McCarthy's passing last month at age 89, we're hitting The Road to see how the pic based on an Oprah's Book Club pick holds up.   For more geeky podcasts visit GonnaGeek.com   You can find us on iTunes under ''Legends Podcast''.
