Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I have to say that good werewolf movies are hard to find. It says something that the best of them are a duo that came out in 1981. Both “The Howling” and “An American Werewolf In London” are certifiable classics and, like “The Exorcist” versus all other possession films, it’s been nearly impossible to match the quality of those two movies. So we come to a little movie called “Werewolves” and despite the rather generic title, this film actually has some interesting ideas that I’ve never seen in a werewolf movie before. That said, “Werewolves” is too short and too rushed to stand in the same light as “An American Werewolf In London” or “The Howling,” but it’s an entertaining feature that does a pretty decent job with a fairly small budget!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here, back after a bit of time off for the Thanksgiving holiday! Hope you all had a great Turkey Day with family and friends. (And let’s not forget the food!). Although Dog’s Movie House has been a bit silent for the last week or so, I did get a chance to at least see the big movies of the Thanksgiving season. And boy, was it a big two weeks! First “Wicked” and “Gladiator” had massive box office returns the week before Thanksgiving. Then, on the week of, “Moana 2” arrived and told the other two films to “hold my beer.” What’s really encouraging is that all three movies are actually pretty damn good!

Radio Daze: Some Classic Jack Benny For Your Old Radio Listening Enjoyment!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze. It’s no secret that Jack Benny is my favorite radio comedian of all time. I love every iteration of this show, but folks who know of the Jack Benny program are pretty much familiar with the Lucky Strike program that ran in the 1940s. In fact, Jack started on the air in 1932 and had a very popular run with Jello as a sponsor during the mid to late 1930s. This edition of Radio Daze features two porgrams from February of 1939. The first one features another episode of the long-running comic feud between Jack and radio comedian Fred Allen. The second episode features Benny and his sick polar bear Carmichael (voiced by the incomparable Mel Blanc) It’s a great episode featuring a fine performance by Eddie Anderson as Benny’s valet Rochester. Enjoy these two classic old radio episodes and enjoy the cool fall weather! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Red One” A Christmas Movie Disguised As An Action Film!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at a film that may be destined to become a holiday viewing tradition along the lines of “Christmas Vacation” and “A Christmas Story.” This one is from the mind of Jake Kasden, who reunites with his “Jumanji” star Dwayne Johnson to create the holiday action film “Red One.” With an all star cast including Johnson, Chris Evans, J.K. Simmons and Lucy Liu, “Red One” is a very busy but ultimately satisfying Christmas fable that manages a decent message while incorporating some interesting aspects of European mythology. The result is a fun film that should satisfy fans of all ages!
