WWTD 068 - The Shaggy Dog: Doggy-style

It's another head-to-head episode of We Want The D as 1959's The Shaggy Dog faces off against 2006's The Shaggy Dog. Unfortunately for Vicky, Nolan and Jill these two movies actually have very little in common aside from the basic premise of "one character turns into a dog at random intervals for seemingly no reason." So rather than just give you an hour of comparing the shagginess of the respective dogs, your hosts instead spend the time trying to figure out which of these two barely coherent movies is the least unbearable. Both feature big name casts full of familiar faces, from the return of Ernst and Jimmy Bean and first appearance of Fred MacMurray on the podcast to Tim Allen's hard-yet-round body, blink-and-you'll-miss-him Danny Glover, and Iron Man himself Robert Downey Jr. Both feature ill-conceived and explained reasons of the dog transformations, from Borgias magic to...DNA magic? There's disagreements over which of the two movies ends up taking the dubious honour of "most terrible," and while it may end in draw you can rest assured that the real winner here is all the D Lovers out there who get to listen in on the debate without having the watch the movies.
