Harlan Ellison’s novella A BOY AND HIS DOG, made into a film by actor LQ Jones in 1975 after appearing in Ellison’s 1968 collection THE BEAST THAT SHOUTED LOVE AT THE HEART OF THE WORLD, has things going to hell long before 2024, but that’s the year the story takes place, with scavengers and vast deserts and white-faced weirdos in underground cities. The film has a very young Don Johnson, and a telepathic dog voiced by the late great Tim McIntire.
But wow, the copy they’re using over on Tubi is garbage, straight off a worn videotape. Twice a tracking indicator pops up on screen. Shoddy.
