Episode 164 – Dogs (1977)

Troy and Roger throw this 1970s horror oddity a bone as they tackle Dogs — the film where man’s best friend goes rogue and wreaks havoc on a sleepy college campus. They sink their teeth into the killer animal craze of the era, the film’s meandering science talk (hello, pheromones), and a cast of some characters so unlikable you might just root for the dogs. The guys dissect everything from an unhinged dog show attack that manages somehow to be dull to academic apathy in the face of canine carnage, all while questioning how this film manages to be both absurdly dull and oddly entertaining. With deadpan dialogue, confused professors, and a plot that thinks it's smarter than it is, Dogs is a strange little beast — and they guys are here for every shaggy, blood-soaked minute of it. Bonus points for an ending that practically begs for a feline-led sequel that unfortunately never came to be.
