Felt like watching a proto-"Mad Max" with all of the fun and excitement sucked right out of it.
I will say that "A Boy and His Dog" is a movie that doesn't fit any type or in any box; entirely offbeat and peculiar. And the dialogue scenes Don Johnson and his dog were easily the best.
. . . aaand it also drags in the worst way. Stone-faced boredom was my biggest takeaway despite Johnson's admirable effort.
It gets real weird in the third act where the horny undercurrent goes into overdrive (there's a "milking" scene that's shockingly funny), and also a colonial USofA cult and a slew of white-face makeup that creeped the hell out of me.
This movie is a curiosity I've finally satisfied but I don't see any revisiting in the future.
