Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog here with my review of “Deadpool 2!”
X-Force prepares to leap into action in “Deadpool 2”
When “Deadpool” hit theaters in February of 2016 it took the cinematic world by storm, becoming the worldwide highest grossing R-rated for a movie in history.

Howdy Folks! It’s The Kendog with some capsule reviews to make up for my unfortunate absences lately. You can always check out my in-depth reviews on my radio show, also known as Dog’s Movie House, at America Matters Media by clicking on this link here!
