Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here and to many, “Beetlejuice” is Tim Burton’s best film. It’s the first movie to establish his unique sensability marrying the gothic atmosphere with a slightly off-kilter aesthetic that is purely his own. Burton’s gone on to mostly great success since 1988 but his latter output has been hit or miss at best. I’m happy to announce that he’s returned to form in a sequel 36 years in the making. “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice” is a wonderful continuation of the original story, with new cast members, mostly practical effects and another classic turn by Michael Keaton as everyone’s favorite bio-exorcist!

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.

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!

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. Discounting the fact that the man’s life would be almost impossible to successfully chronical in a little over two hours, “Reagan” makes the mistake of presenting Ronald Reagan as a saint-like figure rather than a complex human being. It takes away from a pretty decent perfromance by Dennis Quaid in the title role and one wonders what his performance would have been like had he been delivered a script that equalled his acting ambitions!
