Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another edition of Radio Daze. This edition features the legendary Bill Stern and his Sports Newsreel which ran through the forties and fifties. Accompanied by special guests and dramatic organ music, Bill Stern’s legendary stories, while based on fact, were often filled with fiction to amp up the story. He was Paul Harvey before Paul Harvey in his delivery. The shows are fast paced and a lot of fun. Enjoy these four episodes! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Afraid” Not A Great Horror Film, But An Intriguing Science Fiction Movie!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at the new Blumhouse horror film simply titled “Afraid.” Starring John Cho and written and directed by Chris Weitz (“American Pie”), it tells that tale of a family who gets a new AI home system named AIA.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and I’ve just come back from seeing “Reagan” the most recent cinematic attempt to dramatize the life of President Ronald Reagan.

Dog’s Movie House: “Blink Twice” A Terrific Debut From Zoe Kravitz!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the thriller “Blink Twice” which marks the directorial debut (as well as screenwriting) of talented actress Zoe Kravitz. A straightfoward thriller for the most part, “Blink Twice” examines issues like toxic masculinity and female empowerment in the most entertaining of ways. Kravitz has constructed a film that feels unsettling even when it’s not actively being creepy. It’s quite an achievement and as much as I like seeing Kravitz on screen (“The Batman”) I find myself really looking forward to what she does next behind the camera!
