Radio Daze: “The Life Of Riley” And “Duffy’s Tavern” To Tickle Your Old Radio Funny Bone!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of “Radio Daze” This week we’re featuring two episodes each of a couple of classic comedies. First we have two April 1949 episodes of “The Life Of Riley” featuring William Bendix as Chester Riley, a working class father who was the master of the malaprop. His verbal contortions provided most of the shows comedy. Also popular on the show was cast member John Brown who voiced both Riley’s best friend Gillis and the extremely funny Digger O’Dell, The Friendly Undertaker. Next we have a couple of 1943 episdoes of “Duffy’s Tavern” starring Ed Gardener as Archie the bartender. Like Riley, Archie’s linguistic skills bordered on the surreal. The show, which ran from 1941 to 1951 was known for having big guest stars visit the tavern. These two episodes feature Veronica Lake and the legendary Orson Welles. Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
The Dog’s Movie House Dogcast #6 – “Moana,” “Evil Dead Burn” And The Hulaballoo Over “The Odyssey!”
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with Episode 6 Of The Dog’s Movie House Dogcast! This week’s edition features reviews of the live-action “Moana” for Disney and the sixth entry into the Evil Dead franchise titled “Evil Dead Burn!” I also talk about Christopher Nolan’s upcoming epic “The Odyssey” featuring a massive cast led by Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson.

Radio Daze: Bogart, Bacall, and High Adventure In “Bold Venture” For Your Old Radio Enjoyment!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This time we’re featuring four episodes of a true gem: the thriller series “Bold Venture” starring none other than Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall as a boat captain and his girl in Havana, Cuba. Having worked together in “To Have And Have Not” and “Key Largo” on film, Bogie and Bacall’s chemistry crackles and the storie evoke the romantic adventure of such classic films as “Casablanca” and “The African Queen.” The show only ran from 1951-1952, but it’s a hidden gem that’s a joy to listen to. It’s Bogie and Bacall on the air! So Sayeth The Kendog!

The Kenblog: Great Movie Scene – “John Wick: Chapter 4,” The Fireball Sequence!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another great movie scene! This time we’re entering the exciting world of “John Wick.” This four film series is probably the best series of action films ever made, with each entry getting progressively more intricate, more adrenaline fueled, and crazier (in a good way) than the next! This scene is one of the many standout sequences in Chapter 4, featuring Wick (Keanu Reeves) taking on a bevy of would be assassins with a shotgun armed with fireball rounds If you think you’ve seen every iteration of gunfight possible on film, you haven’t seen anything quite like this! Enjoy the scene and if you like it, comment below or on my Facebook Page! So Sayeth The Kendog!
