Dog’s Movie House: “The Matrix Resurrections” A Trippy Return To The Matrix Universe!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a look at a brand new Matrix film. This one’s called “The Matrix Resurrections” and features Keanu Reeves return as the techno-savior Neo for the first time in nearly twenty years. Normally I’d be leary about popping out another Matrix movie, especially since Neo sacrificed himself so handily in finale of the original trilogy. But returning director Lana Wachowski definitely has something in mind for this particular tale and it adds enough new elements to feel like more than a mere rehash of the first film. The result is a trippy, self-aware journey back into the war between humans and machines anchored by excellent performances from Reeves and Carrie-Ann Moss.

The Dogcast: The Pat Walsh Show – Friday, December 17th, 2021!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another appearance on the Pat Walsh Show! This is our annual celebration of Christmas and we get all festive in the spirit of the holidays. I also get a chance to review the latest Marvel film “Spiderman: No Way Home!” Great flick, by the way!

The Dogcast: “It’s A Wonderful Life” On Radio For Your Christmas Pleasure!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with some more old radio fun. In honor of the Christmas holiday I thought I’d give to you fine folks a couple of radio versions of the classic Frank Capra film “It’s A Wonderful Life.” The Jimmy Stewart-led classic is now a staple of holiday programming and it’s message of hope is more relevant than ever. Here I have two versions. The first features Jack Benny and his gang doing their slightly off-kilter version of “It’s A Wonderful Life” back in 1947. The second is is a Screen Director’s Playhouse version of the film from 1949 starring Jimmy Stewart in the radio version of one of his most famous screen roles. It also features Arthur Q. Bryan as Clarence The Angel. Good Stuff. So enjoy and Merry Christmas to everyone! So Sayeth The Kendog!

Dog’s Movie House: “Spider-Man: No Way Home” Is Probably The Most Fun You’ll Have At The Movies This Year!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with a look at one of the most highly anticipated movies of the year! It’s “Spider-Man: No Way Home” and boy, does it deliver the goods. I’ve always identified with Spider-Man more than any other comic book hero because he was someone to which I could relate. Peter Parker (the excellent Tom Holland) is, underneath all of the power and costumes, just a teenage kid trying to get through life. The interesting thing about Peter Parker is that, because of his moral code, having superpowers doesn’t make his life any easier. It actually makes it far more difficult, yet Peter perserveres because of his intelligence and his integrity. “No Way Home” the third in director Jon Watts’ MCU trilogy, is an emotional and exciting leap foward for the web slinger, forcing Peter to make decisions about what kind of hero and man he wants to be.

The Dogcast: Kendog On The Pat Walsh Show December 10, 2021!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with a bit of an apology. Due to unforseen professional and personal circumstances, I was unable to give you the latest and greatest in movie news and reviews last week on this very website. I’m talking about “West Side Story” of course, Steven Spielberg’s wonderful version of the classic 1961 movie musical. All of the updates are subtle and change the story from something overly stagey into something more resonant and emotional! And the songs still kick all kinds of ass! Below are my segments from last Friday’s Pat Walsh Show. I am blessed that he wants me in a little earlier than usual these days, meaning I get some more time with my friends like Pat, Kendall and Mark (let’s throw the talented Lou Gallagher in there, too) and you get to hear more of yours truly. (Hopefully that’s a good thing, heh.) Check out the two hours below to catch up on what you may have missed. As you will soon be able to tell, “West Side Story” is one of just a few things Pat, Kendall and I talk about. As always, feel free to comment below or on my Facebook Page. So Sayeth The Kendog!

Kendog talks movies and the importance of friendship!
