We return to post-apocalyptia with a pair of western-influenced tales of life after the end. 1975′s A Boy And His Dog is our classic pick this week. Can we get past the concept of a telepathic dog and a rape-happy protagonist to find a soul and a purpose to this self-described “kinky tale of survival”? Plus, we review A24′s new David Michôd film The Rover, starring Guy Pierce and Robert Pattinson. All that plus a genre discussion questioning how the most romantic of genres managed to get mashed-up with the most pessimistic of genres and find any footing. Don’t miss it!
