A Boy and His Dog - Movie

Another science fiction story set in 2024. The original book was written by Harlan Ellison in 1969 and made into a movie released in 1975 staring Don Johnson many years before becoming a star in the TV series Miami Vice. This movie would go on to be considered a cult film.

I saw it in 1975 and remember it very well. I did like the weird black comedy of the science fiction story taking place is a post-apocalyptic America but was also troubled by the misogyny of some of the very twisted plot devices. Back when I saw it the movie seemed like so far into the future of 2024. The poster said it was a future you would probably live to see and that it was an R rated rather kinky tale of survival. The telepathic dog really got to me.
