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 We cover the complicated logistics of breaking up with your boyfriend when his head has been replaced by a dog’s; the tightrope-walking required to adapt a beloved book series for the screen; and whether Dog Man’s origin story is actually far more gruesome and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:

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

  • Nightbitch

We cast our gritty reboot with these actors:

  • Andy Serkis as Dog Man
