On Any Sunday / Biker Dogs

I rented this movie last night and totally dug it. I heard about it on the awesome Dailysonic podcast, which I also recommend checking out. The movie is this super cheesey 70s documentary about the various styles of motorcycle racing, as directed and narrated by Bruce Brown aka the Endless Summer guy. It was funded by movie star / motorcycle enthusiast / ultimate 70s male Steve McQueen, who also just happens to be presented in a very positive light throughout. I could get into the details, but yeah, pretty much just 100% sunshine and smiles and happy people doing stupid things. The soundtrack is great too, kinda surfy, cheesey, with happy girls singing way OTT cheeseball lyrics. So yeah, there’s some major kitsch going on here, but there’s also a whole lotta heart, soul, and good vibes aplenty.

There’s also a really cool motorcycle-riding dog, as seen here:
