On this episode we watch the 1975 post apocalyptic buddy comedy about sexual assault, A Boy and His Dog. Artist, writer and comedian Daniel J. Hogan joins Paul and Chris to review this talking dog picture.
- Hogan’s Heroes references have been approved.
- Dolemite is a movie that is so bad it is good suggested by Chris.
- Dan suggests The Room because it fits in the genre of so bad it is good. He also suggests the Japanese horror film, House.
- Don Johnson is the star of A Boy and His Dog. Of course we all think he’s the dog.
- The director is L.Q. Jones, who typically played the sheriff in every TV show in the 80s.
- The upbeat music in this dark film was produced by the same actor that does the dog’s voice, Tim McIntire.
- What is the name of the character Don Johnson is playing, Vic or Albert? Paul thinks perhaps Michael Vick.
- The first show and we’re already talking about the Fleshlight. Oh nifty, you’ve stumbled onto a NSFW Wikipedia page.
- Perhaps Blood the dog is a precrime dog & Minority Report is a prequel to this film?
- Jason Robards plays the antagonist, an evil Committee member. Dan recommends you watch him in Once Upon a Time in the West.
- Does Don Johnson’s dream come true in the movie? No, instead they hook him up to a milking machine.
- This movie was only missing robots, oh wait.
- So many more references in the show, from The Brady Bunch & My Little Pony to Asimov’s Laws and the “contractually required mirror universe episode”. Enjoy the show.
