Episode 63 – Dog City
This week’s episode is Dog City…which is another listener request, and one that neither of us recalled that well when we first embarked. But something seemed familiar about Dog City. Perhaps it’s the animation by Nelvana, or maybe it’s the muppets by Jim Henson? Either way this show is an odd hodgepodge of both animation and puppetry. From the film noir to the writing, to the 4th wall breaks, this show has quite a lot to talk about. But do we have anything good to say about it? I guess that’s all the more reason to listen along with us this week!
