Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze. This time I’m featuring a couple of classic episodes of the popular police procedural “Dragnet.” Created by series star Jack Webb, the popular show would also have a long life on television. With it’s recognizable theme music and it’s pool of “true stories” (with the names changed to protect the innocent”) “Dragnet” is an iconic cop show that is still entertaining all of these decades later! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “The Brutalist” Epic Filmmaking On A Scale Not Seen Anymore!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at one of the favorites for this year’s Oscars. It’s called “The Brutalist” and it’s an epic feat of cinema that isn’t seen very often anymore.

Featuring an award’s-worthy perfromance from Adrien Brody, “The Brutalist” serves as must-see for adults looking for a film that recalls a bygone era!

Howdy Folks! it’s The Kendog here with a look at Leigh Whannel’s latest horror film. Striking gold with his inventive “Invisible Man” update a couple of years ago, Whannel now takes aim at the venerated lycanthrope sub-genre of horror. “Wolf Man” has a solid cast, interesting practical effects and a different werewolf design that’s sure to spark discussion.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with something a little different. I’m featuring an ongoing series of classic movie scenes as exposure to some of the wonderful moments in cinema. Sometimes they’ll be acdtion scenes, sometimes scary scenes, even dialogue scenes from classic Hollywood. This edition features a still-incredible transformation scene from “An American Werewolf In London” the 1981 John Landis classic that many consider to be the best werewolf movies ever made. If you haven’t seen “An American Werewolf In London” and like good horror movies, maybe this scene will convince you to check it out. The setup: David (David Naughton) is alone in Jenny Aguter’s London flat on the first full moon since being attacked by a werewolf. After accidentally locking himself out of the apartment, he makes his way back inside only to find himself of a vicious first transformation into a ferocious beast. Enjoy!
Radio Daze: Some More Jack Benny For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with the first episode of Radio Daze for the New Year! I’m starting 2025 out with a couple of offerings from my favorite radio comedian of all time, one Mr. Jack Benny. These two classic episodes feature a New Year’s Eve party and a guests appearance by the legendary Groucho Marx. Both of these episodes are just before Jack made the jump in sponsors to the Lucky Strike Program in the fall of 1944! Both episodes feature Benny’s classic timing and his penchant for giving his fellow cast members some of the funniest lines in the show. Enjoy with a cup of cocoa and a warm blanket on those cold winter evenings! So Sayeth The Kendog!
