A Dead Golden Retriever POPS out of the trash bin...


Watching this on Amazon Prime.
Just noticed.
At about 0:43:49...."Casper," the Golden Retriever who was spooked by Tucker when he came home after being infected by the piece of shuttle debris the little girls gives to him.... "Casper's" stiff, rigor-moticed carcass pops from out of the trash bin on the street and onto Dr. Binnell's windshield when she's tearing-off from the house. Not at all necessary to do that! But since they bothered,...MAN...that really seals-the-deal that "Tucker" is a super-baddie Pod Person. Man...he killed the dog! And he just put it in the trash bin! What a Pod-Person S.O.B.

It's explained, via dialogue, that so and so's husband killed their dog and threw it in the garbage can outside.
When it happened, as a scare tactic, onscreen, I was like, oh, neat. That's like what the person in the scene, ten minutes ago described.

It wasn't scary or shocking or surprising. It was dumb and laughable.
