Dog’s Movie House: “Deadpool & Wolverine” Refreshingly Raunchy, Gory, Hilarious, Love Letter To The Fox Comic Book Era!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog! Well, the most anticipated movie of the summer has arrived I can difinitively say it does not disappoint. “Deadpool & Wolverine” is hands down one of the most entertaining films of the year. Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman finally team up as Deadpool and Wolverine and the results are side-splitting, violent, and unexpectedly poignant. The film is filled with appearances from several characters from the Fox era of Marvel films and many of them have a significant impact on the story. “Deadpool & Wolverine” serves as a snarky love letter to the uneven but influential era of superhero films that took place before the MCU took over and it’s a joy to behold!

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with another episode of Radio Daze! This week we’re featuring a couple of Jack Benny episodes from his early stint in 1937. Back then Jack was sponsored by Jello and featured Kenny Baker as his tenor rather than Dennis Day. During this era Benny established his long running radio fued with comedian (and real-life good friend) Fred Allen. Their exchanges are always fun. This is the unofficial start of the feud, with Benny attempting to play “The Bee” on his violin. The second episode deals with the theft of Jack’s beloved violin. Enjoy these episodes and stay tuned for more episodes of Radio Daze! So Sayeth The Kendog!
Dog’s Movie House: “Twisters” Very Entertaining, But Lacking Something From The Original!
Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here! It’s hard to believe that it’s been nearly thirty years since “Twister” hit screens, putting Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt through the physical and emotional wringer courtesy of Jan De Bont (“Speed”). At the time “Twisters” then groundbreaking CGI seemed to put you right in the middle of a deadly tornado with an intensity never seen before.

This is one of the few things keeping “Twisters” from being a classic showcase!
