Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This week’s episode focuses on Jim and Marian Jordan, better known as Fibber McGee & Molly. This real life married couple premiered way back in 1935 and ran for over two decades until 1956. Fibber was the fast talking -get-rich-quick-idea man while Molly McGee was the long suffering but always supportive wife. Known as much for its rogue’s gallery of supporting characters as much as the title couple, Fibber McGee & Molly served as one of the most popular radio comedies of all time. In fact, it was one of the first to feature its own successful spinoff, The Great Gildersleeve, which premiered in 1941 and ran for almost 15 years on its own. So enjoy the classic wordplay and crazy characters of Fibber McGee & Molly. It’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Bob Marley: One Love” Entertaining But Somewhat Slight Biopic Of A Musical Legend!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and if there’s one musical icon deserving of the big budget biopic treatment, it has to be Bob Marley. A lyrical poet and activist who most folks often credit for bringing reggae into the mainstream, Marley is the very definition of “legend.” Like so many others who passed way before their time, Marley’s legend has only grown over the years and, approved by his family, director Reinaldo Marcus Green (“King Richard”) has created an entertaining musica biopic that is almost worthy of Bob Marley’s legacy.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at what might be the worst superhero film ever made (although it’s tough to imagine anything beating 1997’s “Batman & Robin” for that particular title). Sony Pictures, who own the rights to Spider-Man but don’t use him in their movies due to some sort of agreement with Disney (home of the MCU), have decided to try and make money by mining Spidey’s rogue’s gallery of villains and side-characters for their own stand-alone films! When it works, you get the “Venom” films (primarily because of Tom Hardy’s bonkers performance). When it doesn’t you get crap like “Morbius” and now, “Madame Web,” which takes a cast of talented actors and leaves them adrift on a sea of bad writing, less-than-special effects, and editing choices that may leave you wishing you’d brought your Dramamine to the theater!
Continue readingThe Trailer Dog Park: “Deadpool 3” and “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” are coming to save the cinematic world!
Howdy Folks! Here’s a couple of new trailers for some highly anticipated movies coming later this year. The first is the number one viewed trailer of all time. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman finally share the screen together in “Deadpool And Wolverine” the third in the high successful film series. Based on Rob Liefeld’s Image comic, Deadpool is a different kind of hero whose raunchy (and hilarious) antics differentiate him from the run-of-the-mill superhero films. This trailer should set minds at ease as to whether Disney would water down the merc with a mouth. The next is the latest Godzilla and Kong movie. Entitled “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire” this new film promises an epic team-up between cinema’s two most iconic monsters as they must team up to face an even deadlier adversary. Both films look like a lot of fun. Enjoy the trailers! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Madame Web” A Trainwreck Of A Superhero Movie!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and you have to hand it to Sony: They keep putting out subpar superhero movies like they’re going out of style, all because they want to retain the rights to their comic book properties. They own “Spider-Man” but because of their deal with Marvel Studios, it’s difficult to get the actual Spider-Man into any of their movies. So what do they do? They decide to create movies features obscure characters from the Rogue’s Gallery of Spider-Man allies and villains. Some of them, like the Venom movies, work because Tom Hardy is commited to a bonkers performance that makes the film, but most of Sony’s (non-animated) efforts are just terrible! Which brings us to “Madame Web” a superhero film that makes “Morbius” look like a cinematic masterpiece!
