A Boy and His Dog

Follow-up your Thanksgiving with this 1975 indie classic based on Harlan Ellison's novella.

Yeah, for long-time followers of MOBS, it's another November repeat - we showed this the last two years, not knowing how many folks would come out due to it being the day after Thanksgiving, and it has ended up being well attended! And we're doing it again!

The year is 2024. World War IV, which only lasted 5 minutes, has long been over, leaving behind a post-apocalyptic wasteland. 18-year old Vic (Don Johnson in his first, and by far best, performance) wanders with his dog, Blood, who communicates with him telepathically. The none-too-bright Vic scavenges for food; the rather learned and sarcastically witty Blood sniffs out women for sex. Into this relationship comes Quilla, a woman from "Down Under" - a supposedly idyllic underground society which attempts to preserve the past. Quilla lures Vic "Down Under" where he discovers that there are some rather nefarious plans for him. Considered by fans and detractors alike to have one of the best film endings ever and was a direct influence on films such as "Mad Max" and "The Road Warrior."

Oh, and this ain't necessarily one for the kiddies.
