We review MANS BEST FRIEND (1993) about a genetically engineered dog that a reporter finds in a lab that she is doing an exposé on. It's a Tibetan Mastiff named Max that can climb trees, eat people and swallow cats whole. All while
Lance Henriksen yells at everyone. Then we review ROTTWEILER (2004) a Brian Yuzna film that not many have seen. Including ourselves. About a man who has so many flashbacks they imprison him and he dreams about a cyborg spirit dog that shares his soul and eats people with it's metal jaws. Or something like that. It really doesn't make a whole heck of a lot of sense. But listening to us break it down will probably make you want to watch it. So Join us and our own dog Murray as we bark our way through this one.
