Benji: GenX's Top Dog

Pop Culture Preservation Society

If Generation X had a dog, it would (without a doubt) be Benji, the scrappy little terrier who barked his way into our hearts in 1974 … and remains there to this day. Join us as we (rather passionately!) relive this iconic movie scene by scene and bark by bark, still getting traumatized by the sight of those kids in GAGS and that awful KICK (if you know, you know). Does this “most talked-about, highly-acclaimed family picture of our time … maybe of all time” hold up today? Do we think Benji may have been the most underrated actor of our generation? Listen now to find out!
