A Boy and His Dog

That good old Interplay logo.

Cooper Howard starred in a film called A Man and His Dog, which is an Easter egg because the Fallout franchise itself was partially inspired by a film called A Boy and His Dog.

The actor who went on to voice the Mr. Handies in the Fallout universe played a character in a movie named...

I, Bartholomew Codsworth, am ever ready to serve.

It's spinning, it's spinning.

Okay, what is it? It's a boy and his dog.

This one was nominated by recent new patron, Jason.

Well done, Jason.

Okay.

Get ready for that, everyone.

A boy and his dog.

Okay.

So this is, I'd had on my watch list for a long time.

This is a post-apocalyptic 1975 film called A Boy and His Dog.

Okay.

Definitely one of the lesser known sort of films from that time, I think.

Tim McIntire, a 33-year-old character actor from Yaak, Montana, as Alan Freed.

McIntire is best known for his roles in The Sterile Cuckoo and A Boy and His Dog as Brubaker.

McIntire died in 1986 at the age of 41.

Something I find very interesting, uh, so McIntire, I think he's a really strong actor.

Silent Running

... and, and, and The Last Days of Man on Earth, which I just watched recently with Jerry Cornelius and Michael Moorcock's character, and, uh, um, um, oh, a- a- A Boy and His Dog.

Don Johnson, 1975.

Of course, A Boy and His Dog, yeah.

Damnation Alley.

You know, Damna- but that was, geez, but yeah, that was in '76.

...

A Boy and His Dog.

Do you know the movie Boy and His Dog?

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

Why do you guys always talk about going to war? I don't wanna go.

A Boy and His Dog takes place after World War Four.

That's right.

Yeah.

Um, uh, I would go with Harlan Ellison's, um, n- his short story, but there's also a film based on it, uh, called "The Boy and His Dog"-

Mm-hmm

... where it, it's an immediate return to the values of primitive warfare, of Hobbesian pre-state law of nature, all against all, as opposed to a communitarian society.

Hey, there's Dawn Wells on the left there, Mary Ann herself.

Next to her is Tim McIntyre, the voice of the dog in A Boy and His Dog.

And he was in The Choirboys.

He's, uh, the star of American Hot Wax.
