Sorry. Reading on my phone. Have edited my comment
I think it unlikely that "dog" is substituted for "damn" though more likely to say "shucks" or some mild expletive though I'd have thought "damn" wss pretty mild by now?
I was surprised at the amount of expletives used in the Golden Globes the other night. Lots of f words Surprising for live US TV I thought

I cannot disclose the name of the film since it is not out yet.

In my comment, I actually said the speaker has *no* problem saying the word “God”. :-)

What did the other person say first? I would have thought that is essential context here

The name of the movie and the actual timing might help, too. For what it's worth, it might have been 'hot dog!' or something.

yes, it's possible. However, some people (including yours truly) also immediately say "Dog" after saying "God" to indicate they are atheists or mean nothing by the word God, i.e. not believers. Usually done in a jokey way implying lowercase god=dog. Personally, I would much prefer my dogs to any god, though I worship neither (:-
We all use expressions with God in them all the time as they are ubiquitous. But I think no one gets upset if someone sustitutes "dog"

“Dog” is sometimes used as a substitute for the word “God,” as in the expression “oh my dog.” But that’s not the case here. Here, the speaker has no problem saying the word “God.”
