This week, we review Isle of Dogs (2018), Wes Anderson's gloriously quirky stop-motion animated sci-fi comedy-drama set in a dystopian near-future Japan. Bryan Cranston, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Jeff Goldblum, and Bob Balaban star as a ragtag pack of exiled dogs in a story that explores loyalty, rebellion, and political corruption. With all of Megasaki City's canines banished to a garbage-dump called Trash Island following a government-enforced decree, twelve-year-old Atari crash-lands on the island in search of his beloved dog Spots — and sets off an epic journey that could change the fate of dogs everywhere. This film raises intriguing questions about authoritarianism, prejudice, and what it truly means to be man's best friend.

Is Isle of Dogs a ruff deal or the paw-fect film? Listen on to find out!
