Half man, half dog, all movie star?: Dog Man Review

We review the big screen adaptation of Dav Pilkey’s comic supacop, Dog Man. We cover the complicated logistics of breaking up with your boyfriend when his head has been replaced by a dog’s; the tightrope-walking required to adapt a beloved book series for the screen; and whether Dog Man’s origin story is actually far more gruesome and disturbing than we thought.

Previous episodes we mention:

• Bad Guys: Haunted Heist

Dog Man made us think of these shows and books for grown ups:

• Nightbitch
• Fun Home

We cast our gritty reboot with these actors:

• Andy Serkis as Dog Man
• JK Simmons as Petey
