Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with my latest classic movie scene for your viewing enjoyment! This one is not only a classic in terms of great movies, but also a leap forward in cinematic effects technology. With groundbreaking computer animation, the most realistic looking dinosaur attack in history took place in cinemas during the summer of 1993. The editing, lack of music, and sound effects make this scene as breathtaking now as it was 32 years ago. The rest of the film is equally as good. Watch and enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Radio Daze: Jack Benny Is Alive And Kicking For Your Old Radio Listening Pleasure!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze. This edition features the legendary Jack Benny during his years on the Jello Progam. These two episode are from 1940 and feature Benny with legends Orson Welles and Fred Allen. Allen, in particular is a funny counterpoint to Benny, as the two good friends had quite the radio feud that ran from the late 1930s all the way through the 40s. Both of these programs feature Benny at his best. Truly funny programs to listen two huddled up by the fire during the evening! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House- “Mickey 17” Entertaining Follow-Up Whose Satire Is A Bit On The Nose!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at celebrated South Korean director Bong Joon Ho’s (“Parasite”) latest magnum opus, a science fiction film loaded with satire titled “Mickey 17.” The film tells the tale of Mickey Barnes (Robert Pattinson) a man fleeing a sadistic loan shark who volunteers for a space flight to a planet called Neflheim as an “Expendable.” An Expendable is a person who, with a little help from technology, can be brought back to life, or reprinted, after dying, over and over again. This makes Mickey cheap labor as he literally cannot die permanently. By the time they get to Neflheim Mickey is now at number seventeen. When he survives a near-death experience on the planet, he straggles home to find that Mickey 18 has been printed to replace him, creating the potential disaster of “Multiples” that will result in both Mickey’s being killed. . .permanently!

Howdy Folks! Welcome to another episode of Radio Daze! This week we’re featuring the legendary Jack Webb, but not in the role for which he’s most famous. Before Joe Friday and Dragnet, Webb worked as San Francisco investigator Pat Novak in Pat Novak For Hire, an excellently quirky and well written detective show that wore its pulp roots on it’s sleeve. Webb got to show a lot more personality in this short lived show, which featured a young Raymond Burr as antagonist Inspector Hellman. Only running a couple of seasons at most, it’s still worth a listen and will bring a smile to your face! Enjoy! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Captain America: Brave New World” Benefits From Both Mackie And Ford!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at the latest Captain America Marvel Movie. And, by the way, “Brave New World” features a brand new Captain American. With Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) having retired after the events of “Avengers: Endgame,” he has personally passed his iconic title and shield to friend and team member Sam “The Falcon Wilson” (Anthony Mackie) who uses technology and intelligence in lieu of taking any super soldier serum. Mackie, a terrific actor, owns the role of Sam Wilson, and makes for a convincing, if a bit different, Captain America. “Brave New World” charts Sam’s often contentious relationship with the U.S. Government, especially the newly elected President Of The United States, one Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (an excellent Harrison Ford). The result is an entertaining, slick film filled with very good performances and the continuation of several important narrative threads that set up some intriguing possibilities in the Marvel Cinematic Universe!
