A Boy And His Dog
18 April 2020
This is a pretty wild satirical 70's apocalyptic sci fi flick. This is taking place after WW4 in the United States post nuclear landscape. A Boy And His Dog has a young Don Johnson wandering around the barren wasteland with his dog that has psychic powers. His dog lets Don know where the women are that and in exchange for getting him laid he must feed his dog well. The film is pivotal in showing the dynamic of this relationship and the post nuclear world, showing the futility of a post nuclear future. This was directed by LQ Jones who was a character actor in all kinds of stuff most notably westerns and a lot of them made by Sam Peckinpah. A Boy And His Dog is good for what it is and is totally outrageous old school B grade science fiction. If you are in the mood for something unusual give this a go.
