Episode #869: Top Dog (1995) (Patreon)

“He makes Steven Seagal look like Robert De Niro“ - Eric

On this week’s show, we’re chatting about the totally insane Chuck Norris-partnered-with-a-dog movie, Top Dog!

How is this dog still alive with all the doughnuts this old man is feeding him? Has there ever been a less-convincing hangover performance than what we see at the start of this movie? Wait, this dog was shot five times in the line of duty? How hilarious is that guy’s freakout during the scene at the Mexican border? And how in the world is there this much white supremacy chatter in an otherwise silly dog movie? PLUS: The gang hunts for the closest Blimpie’s!

Top Dog stars Chuck Norris, Michele Lamar Richards, Erik von Detten, Carmine Caridi, Clyde Kusatsu, Kai Wulff, Peter Savard Moore, Timothy Bottoms, Francesco Quinn, Herta Ware, Eileen Bowman, and Betty the Dog as Reno; directed by Aaron Norris.
