2004 television film directed by Bob Clark
POPULARITY
For one last time in 2024, we're closing out DePalmber: Part De by opening the vault door and welcoming another of our beloved classics into the podcast canon, this time a bleak noir thriller about a foley artist in the film industry who winds up recording proof of a political murder conspiracy while out grabbing sounds for a new low-end horror picture, and gets swept up into a dark world of intrigue where no one is safe. It's 1981's Blow Out, written and directed by Brian De Palma and starring John Travolta, Nancy Allen, Jon Lithgow, Dennis Franz, Peter Boyden, John Aquino and Deborah Everton. Like Michael Mann's Thief (released just four months earlier), it feels like a visionary director establishing countless trademark flourishes in an early outing before really hitting their stride as the decade continued. And just like Thief, that early outing may prove to be a high-water mark neither man ever cleared again. Plus: without any theatrical outing to report on to end the year, we're vibing out with hoarfrost and the music of Waxahatchee. If you'd like to watch the movie before listening along to this conversation, and we loved this movie so we strongly recommend you do, Blow Out is currently streaming for free on Tubi (at least in Canada) at the time of publication. Other works discussed in this episode include Sonic The Hedgehog 3, Nosferatu, The Last Voyage of the Demeter, Abigail, The Brutalist, The Order, Blue Chips, Air, Hustle, Hoosiers, Moneyball, Glory Road, Miracle, The Way Back, The Holdovers, Knives Out, Glass Onion, Law Abiding Citizen, I Saw the TV Glow, Monkey Man, Biggest Heist Ever, Joker: Folie à Deux, A Christmas Story, Black Christmas, Baby Geniuses, The Karate Dog, A Very Harold & Kumar Christmas, Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle, To Grandmother's House We Go, New York Minute, Scarface, Body Double, Pulp Fiction, Gotti, The Fanatic, Dexter, Conclave, Cliffhanger, Nightcrawler, and Nope among many more. We'll be back next week to kick off 2025 with the Bernie Mac baseball comedy Mr. 3000, to celebrate J Mo crossing the 3000 films watched lifetime milestone at some point in the year that was 2024. That's as good a reason to watch it as any I suppose, and you can find Mr. 3000 streaming for free on Hoopla at the moment. Until then, we'll see you at the movies!!

As the month of April comes to an end the biggest April Fool is upon the show with The Karate Dog (2005) directed by Bob Clark and starring Jon Voight, Simon Rex, and Jaime Pressly. Is there any Karate in Karate Dog? Why would you trust a dog with dating advice? Does the writer of this film think whenever your parent dies at any age you then become an orphan?

Episode 37: This week we watched the Marvel Cinematic TV Movie, Man-Thing! We talked about the filters, Karate Dog, "whodunnit" plot structure and how Bywater is by the water.
Episode 31: This week we watched Karate Dog, or The Karate Dog, which starred Chevy Chase. We talked about the cliche of people on dates with earpieces in, The Matrix, Catwoman and so many things. This was a crazy one folks and was the hardest we ever laughed during an episode.
Minute 54 begins with Carol welcoming Hans to Mayfield Place and ends with Hans knocking over a picture. We are joined one final time by the most beloved man on the internet, John J. Galbo, from the ACPN. In this minute we discuss inappropriate statues, discover Chris has no taste in film or TV and […]
There’s much to be said about this week’s movie selection on BONUS DISC and Matthew, Bob and special guest Kristina Green find a way to say most of it. Tighten your black belts and get ready to witness three adult humans slowly jump kick their way to the edge of sanity trying to understand THE KARATE DOG, featuring the voice of Chevy Chase as…well…the karate dog. Witness the quest through the Stanley Kubrickian daymare of how exactly animals in this universe communicate! Marvel at the hellish David Lynchian acid trip of a K-9 kegger! Behold the onslaught of pop culture references from 1998! Abandon all hope ye who enters here.FULL MOVIE!TRAILER!
Tom Hanks! Star of lots of films! Lots! Like...well, we're not going to list them all here, we're not bloody IMDB. Pricks. But he's certainly in this movie, with a relatively ugly dog co-starring. And it's quite possibly the best one we've seen, so we lay down some heavy praise among various other things. Sharkboy and Lavagirl, coffee-induced urination, it's all going on, and it's all relatively shambolic.
After many weeks of examining the adventures of dogs, it's time for the furry little fucks to face up to their greatest enemy: cats. It's a thrilling adventure, and despite the lack of characterisation, there are some solid performances for the lads to appreciate, including good ol' Jeff Goldblum. There's also a fierce debate about whether all cats are evil, intriguing research into the smash hit chocolates Cherry Ripe and Turkish Delight, and a lovely bit of technical difficulty!
Despite being imprisoned for his horrific crimes, Jamie has been kind enough to join us for a look at 1996's live-action version of the classic 101 Dalmatians. The boys are significantly more upbeat than last week, and get stuck into analysing the possible dementia of Joan Plowright's incredible character, and...well, there's not a lot of meat to this one, but there's a lovely rendition of a classic song by Foreigner, and some solid potato discussion.
After the shockingly poor film last week, it's time to turn to...something even worse, in the form of the infamous animated catastrophe, (more like dog-astrophe, am I right?) Foodfight! There's really not a lot more that can be said about the boys' confrontation with the movie and its menagerie of terrifyingly poor animation and bizarre sexual references and food puns, but it's a wonder that they've survived. Particularly with Jamie's ongoing legal trouble...
It's happened. A film has broken us. This week the boys attempt to analyse the 2005 karate-caper "The Karate Dog", and whoa doctor, it's a real mission. Just...just listen. Or don't. Who am I to dictate your life to you?
Another summer has come and gone without receiving the Once and Future Summer Jam, which is, of course, the sequel to Bob Carlisle's "Butterfly Kisses." WHERE'S THE HEAT, CARLISLE? We're ready, Bob, for the heat. Suggested talking points: Drop That BK2, Sandwich Guy's Gift, The Karate Dog, A Bonanza in My Can, My Favorite Star Wars, The Three Radio Voices That There Are
It's time for a long overdue return to the Air Bud universe, and a whole lot more mediocrity. Some of the weighty topics bandied about in the ensuing debate include Jamie's soul sacrifice, Alisdair's bizarre appreciation for a child wearing glasses, and Oliver has a disturbing theory about Josh's dark secrets. Give it a listen! Please.
The third dog film to be inspected, prodded and fondled by the boys is 1991's Bingo, claimed ferociously by members of IMDB to be a very clever satire of dog films, but lambasted by others as a "very strange movie". What is the truth? Only time will tell, but there's a lot going on. Tune in for talk of carbonated Nesquik and generous Australian recycling systems as we examine this horrific dystopian world packed full of anti-cockroach dog slaughterers and lovably negligent fathers.
In this thrilling second episode, the lads watch the film The Shaggy Dog, an outrageous Tim Allen vehicle packed with physical comedy and a villainous Robert Downey Jr. Among the many and varied topics up for discussion is the terror of dogs with human eyes, and Jamie posits a bold theory that the film only exists as a cover for Allen's disturbing real-life activities. Perhaps the most exciting discovery, however, is a unanimous appreciation for Stellan Skarsgard's parental potential. P.S.: Please forgive us for the audio hiccups present in this episode.
For their first week of podcasting, the boys tackle the much loved 1997 family film Air Bud.
