TOP DOG (RIP Chuck Norris)

Chuck Norris is gone. But in his wake, he left behind countless roundhouse kicks, thousands of bad jokes, the best Conan O’Brien bit of all time, and a handful of bad-to-okay movies.

There is no better way for Justin and Steve to talk about the highly problematic man who should have just stayed a meme than by partnering up and investigating the scene (obviously without a warrant).

1995’s Top Dog is a kids’ movie (?) that covers all the major issues children in San Diego had to face in the ’90s—just kidding, it’s actually about white supremacy and hate crimes.

It’s an absolute mishmash of tones and genres, set in a world where a dog-cop can understand English and rack up 115 arrests, while also dealing with the rise of domestic terrorism.

The boys had very different experiences watching Top Dog, but they can both agree that it’s probably best that, after this, Chuck Norris’s big-screen career was sent to a farm upstate forever.
