That Shelf

Who Let the Dogs Out truly tracks the connectivity we have as humans...It's a testament to the personal connection of music and how a communal idea can be shaped to new interpretations and meanings dependent upon said lifestyle or culture.

The Last Thing I See

"Who Let the Dogs Out?" is a weird, wild ride that does not go how you expect. Not even close. But while it's a bit slight at only 70 minutes, it's still a ride worth taking. The whole thing is all so ludicrous and bizarre it's hard not to enjoy.

Rated: B

Director Brent Hodge... and [Ben] Sisto retell the tale in stand-up comedic lecture style (a format similar to Apple TV+'s recent Beastie Boys Story), to engrossing effect.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

"Who Let the Dogs Out?" touches on issues of cultural appropriation and copyright law, and provides a surprisingly nuanced answer to the question "Who owns art?" The question it does not answer, however, is "Who let the dogs out?"

Rated: 3/4

The Stranger (Seattle, WA)

Though sometimes the short doc reaches for deeper, weightier meaning, it explores creativity and ownership rather well. By the end, you'll have that song stuck in your head, possibly forever!
