Written, Directed, Edited by, and Starring Joe Odagiri! 'THE OLIVER DOG, (Gosh!!) THIS DOG MOVIE' Blu-ray & DVD Release Set for Wednesday, July 8, 2026!

★The legendary drama 'THE OLIVER DOG, (Gosh!!) THIS DOG', written, directed, and edited by Joe Odagiri and aired on NHK in 2021, is now a feature film! Ippei Aoba (Sosuke Ikematsu), a handler in the police dog unit, is the only one who sees his partner, the police dog Oliver, as a man in a dog suit who is obsessed with alcohol, cigarettes, and women (to everyone else, he appears as a highly skilled police dog). The bizarre premise—with Joe Odagiri himself playing the man in the suit—made the drama a sensation from the moment it was announced. Upon its broadcast, it captivated viewers, leading to a second season in 2022 and becoming a social phenomenon, even hitting #1 on Twitter (now X) worldwide. The acclaim extended beyond viewers, winning the Grand Prix for Best Single Drama at the Tokyo Drama Awards 2022 and the Galaxy Award Monthly Prize. This legendary drama has now been adapted into a feature film: 'THE OLIVER DOG, (Gosh!!) THIS DOG MOVIE', written, directed, edited by, and starring Joe Odagiri. ★An unparalleled, star-studded cast assembled by Director Odagiri! Returning from the drama series are lead actor Sosuke Ikematsu, along with Kumiko Aso, Tsubasa Honda, Amane Okayama, Haru Kuroki, Keiichi Suzuki, Kyusaku Shimada, Shohei Uno, Yuu Kashii, Masatoshi Nagase, and Koichi Sato. New cast members for the film include Riho Yoshioka, Takeshi Kaga, Aoi Morikawa, Masahiro Takashima, Hina Kikuchi, Masaaki Hirai (Mannequin), and Eri Fukatsu, who makes her first film appearance in eight years. The film version of 'Oliver' is an unprecedented dark fantasy where opening a forbidden door reveals a mysterious, unseen world. What new case will Ippei and Oliver face? This autumn, a new Oliver world begins, assaulting the screen with laughter, seriousness, cynicism, and absurdity. ★Selected for numerous film festivals!
