Summary

In this Episode, Elric and Brian take a long look at the old "Dogs of the Week" Segment that Siskel and Ebert used to do as part of their show in the lates 70s and early 80s. The "Dogs" were their picks for the worst films of a given week and they even had a small canine called "Spot the Wonderdog" who would kick of each of these segments with a little bark. Many interesting films were panned during the Dogs of the Week period and some of them definitely are truly dogs whilst others may have more going on and be interesting to discuss.
