Technicolor A-Bombs

On this episode we watch the 1975 post apocalyptic buddy comedy about sexual assault, A Boy and His Dog. Artist, writer and comedian Daniel J. Hogan joins Paul and Chris to review this talking dog picture. Hogan’s Heroes references have been approved. Dolemite is a movie that is so bad it is good suggested by Chris. Dan suggests The Room because it fits in the genre of so bad it is good. He also suggests the Japanese horror film, House. Don Johnson is the star of A Boy and His Dog. Of course we all think he’s the dog. The director is L.Q. Jones, who typically played the sheriff in every TV show in the 80s. The upbeat music in this dark film was produced by the same actor that does the dog’s voice, Tim McIntire. What is the name of the character Don Johnson is playing, Vic or Albert? Paul thinks perhaps Michael Vick. The first show and we’re already talking about the Fleshlight. Oh nifty, you’ve stumbled onto a NSFW Wikipedia page. Perhaps Blood the dog is a precrime dog & Minority Report is a prequel to this film? Jason Robards plays the antagonist, an evil Committee member. Dan recommends you watch him in Once Upon a Time in the West. Does Don Johnson’s dream come true in the movie? No, instead they hook him up to a milking machine. This movie was only missing robots, oh wait. So many more references in the show, from The Brady Bunch & My Little Pony to Asimov’s Laws and the “contractually required mirror universe episode”. Enjoy the show. Catch Dan over at clattertron.com, danieljhogan.com and follow him on twitter, @danieljhogan. You can catch all 3 of them in this December 2013 episode of Montreal Sauce.
