Hey everyone! Who's ready to get sad and angry at the same time? That's right, it's angrad time! (Sangry?)
We're talking about the 1982 film, The Plague Dogs directed by Martin Rosen and written by Richard Adams (both of Watership Down fame). Our story follows two dogs, Rowlf and Snitter, as they escape from an animal testing facility and try to survive in the outdoors.
It's like Homeward Bound without the hope! Or All Dogs go to Heaven but with more brain surgery and English accents!
Seriously though, it's quite a sad movie but worth checking out. Thank you for listening and please let us know what you think or if you have recommendations, requests, etc.
