This week, the two dog owners of Contending at the Water Cooler talk about what they love about Ben Leonberg’s supernatural pup flick, Good Boy. As the cats across the country advance their plot for world domination…

There are so many horror films that include dogs, but there aren’t any that give us a canine’s perspective when a ghost haunts a home. Ben Leonberg’s newest film, Good Boy, doesn’t just feature a dog (played by his own pup, Indy) but he is the star, and he fetches…quite the weighty performance. Could Indy find himself as the star of an unlikely sequel? How do we feel about the film’s emotional ending?

We close our podcast with a Flash Forward to the media we’re most anticipating in the upcoming week.

We’re deeply appreciative for your shares, likes, and positive ratings on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
