I had to break this episode up into two parts.  As a gift to the listeners.  But definitely listen to this because Mike’s description of the plot of this movie is the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time.  This movie might change the whole way you think about movies.  The movie actually barely features a cop or a dog.  But that doesn’t matter.  This movie is mostly about  a hat.  Listen to us slowly lose our minds while also dropping potent film knowledge.

Top Dog is a movie.  So is Cop Dog.  But they are very different movies.  However both feature dogs and cops.  Kind of.  Why we were crazy enough to think reviewing two animals films in one episode was a good idea is lost on me now.  However, as usual, we are able to draw deep truths, interesting parallels, and lots of laughs from both movies.  But in all honesty, this is torture.  Still Top Dog does feature Nazis and Racial Unity Conferences and begs the question – who was this movie made for?  Plus lots of fun facts about Chuck Norris.  And favorite segments such as Is The Male Lead Seen Wearing His Underwear and Is The Animal Still Alive?

Cops month continue!!!  Here we find “the Belush” wearing a too large suit trying to be funny.  Inevitably, the comparisons to Turner & Hooch begin.  But K-9 is its own movie with its own charm.  The more one talks about K-9, the more one falls in love with it.  Other things in this episode: we discuss how to pronounce the name of our podcast, Simon introduces a new segment that is hard to pronounce, we get lost talking about Theodore Rex, Whoopi Goldberg, and Kim Basinger, why dinosaurs are not in the bible, the Lincoln/Kennedy similarities, Mikal imitates a German person, the self-help book that “the Belush” wrote, how to pronounce “ogle” in Mike’s English Minute, the progressive nature of the scene in K-9 where “the Belush” gets his dog laid by a dog prostitute.  We get so deep into K-9, dissecting the beauty of this wonderful film that we hate.  Overall, we recognize more and more patterns that emerge in most animal movies and learn to hate ourselves even more.

Poochinski oozes and pulsates with a bizarre energy that is both sickening and confounding.  It takes the guys nearly 30 minutes to even get up the courage to talk about the darn failed TV pilot.  Mikal is calling from a webinar inside his car, Simon explains why his dog has started taking Xanax, and Mike is perplexed by earthquakes and the triangle of life. Poochinski crosses many lines, but also never quite makes a full statement.

Patriotism!  POC!  Racism!  Race bikes!  War!  Bootleg video games!  Bombs!  Betrayal!  A dog!  A movie!  Max has it all and yet delivers nothing.  Or does it?  Nobody knows the answer, but at least we are brave enough to try to find out.

In this episode, we memorialize the internet’s beloved cat with a bad mood as she “stars” in her very own Lifetime movie.  We collectively vomit and cry.

Welcome to Cinemanimals, named one of the 30 best podcasts about movies starring animals. In this premiere episode, we discuss the grueling, inexplicable, and sublime film titled A Talking Cat!?!  Did you know that the "!?!" at the end of the title is part of the title and the "!?!" symbol actually has a name.  Listen to the episode to learn more and also to learn less.  Also the cat featured on the movie poster is not the cat in the movie.
