Dukes Review:
Actor Jonathan Frakes plays “Jamie Lee Hogg”….but of course he is better known to millions of loyal Trekkies and Commander William Riker of the Starship Enterprise (1701-D). That’s right. This is the Star Trek to Dukes of Hazzard crossover that will have Ryan Brutt and I on the same side of the fight….until this episode is over, of course.
Plot: Boss Hogg’s umpteenth previously unnamed nephew shows up in Hazzard to make some ill gotten gains…only to accidentally fall in love with Daisy Duke. That’s all well and good except Boss Hogg, Uncle Jessie, and all of the evil business partners are against it…and to make things worse, the evil guys want Daisy killed before she learns too much! But then the Hogg wants to marry the Duke and the evil partners think it’s so sweet. This leads to every body panel on Rosco’s patrol car being surgically removed in a hilarious fashion, a massive car chase, a few recycled car jumps, and a remarkable amount of improv by Tom and John. Oh, and they don’t get married and live happily ever after, either. And by next weeks show this will all be long forgotten!

KF Episode Summary:
This is our Tribute to the late great Gene Hackman! While he’s not a car star to us all his movie The French Connection is one the most iconic of it’s day. For many of us, he’s the best part about dozens of movies that we have loved for over 50 years!
From The French Connection to Hoosiers, The Replacements, Crimson Tide, even The Royal Tenenbaums, Gene’s acting chops marked him as one of the best actors to ever grace the big screen. He’ll be missed.
As we learned doing research, Gene actually WAS a car guy and had done a considerable amount of racing. He followed in the footsteps of Paul Newman and fell in love with amateur/celebrity racing initially, trained at the Bob Bondurant school, and eventually became involved with Dan Gurney for celebrity and professional races with TOYOTA.
We discussed Gene’s awesome career in the episode and included a re-broadcast from The Kibbe and Finnegan Show where we had reviewed “The Replacements”. This movie is the story we all want; a chance to live up to the potential of something that we loved from our youth and maybe came close to achieving, but for whatever reason failed at, or it fizzled out, or it just ended for reasons we couldn’t control. Keanu is honestly pretty good as a south-paw quarterback and it’s a great movie full of inspirational one-liners you’ll love to quote. Here’s one for you: “Pain heals, Chicks Dig Scars, and Glory Lasts Forever.” K&F Show Rating: 8 Corndogs!

K&F Movie Summary: This is proof that a Will Ferrell comedy – with the same humor as a Will Ferrell comedy – and the same production crew as a Will Ferrell comedy – and a star studded 2009 comedy cast – without Will Ferrell in the comedy…..is somehow just not as good. Jeremy Piven plays Don “The Goods” Ready, a Mercenary car salesman leading a crew of wild and crazy car movers. They’re the people dealers call in when then need the lots emptied. Think of them as the A-Team, with less guns and waaaaaaaay more smut. When i chose this movie I thought – hey – a movie with a great cast and great humor potential – and great cars….and what I got was……a movie I didn’t hate but will likely never watch again. At least they have a Bandit Trans Am reference. That’s something. 6 Dogs!

That’s right, I’m talking Nitrous, Nighties, and Nathan Warren. This is the episode where Cooter tries to prove he can build the fastest car in the county…..but only by ripping Bo and Luke apart to do it. Cooter trips on a pebble and shatters his ankle, forcing Luke to Drive his ‘68 Chevelle against Bo in the General Lee. Cousin against cousin. Car against car. Mone e mono. And while their egos started writing checks their butts couldn’t cash…eventually they had to concede that while they couldn’t not try their best to win, the each always wanted to see the other succeed. And they ended wit two broken cars crossing the finish line, one forward, one backward, in a photo finish tie of cousinly love, making all the wrongs right. Also, nighties need to make a comeback.

KF Show Summary: If there were one episode – that had THE jump of the General Lee – it would be this one. This is the final episode of Season 1 of the Dukes of Hazzard, and what started just a few months ago as a more redneck version of Smokey and the Bandit has become the car hoppin’ comedy western we all wanted…..with tassels in just the right spots. Hazard County is robbed by the likes of Laurel and Hardy impersonators, done under the ruse of a fake health quarantine of all the government officials by an illness. The illness was supposedly highly dangerous…but in the end was just a case of poison ivy that was totally misdiagnosed, causing the tax payers millions. This episode has it all – comedy – jumps – and well placed tassels. In addition, there are NO scenes that utilize in-car green screen! Rating: 10 Corndogs

Movie Review: Joe Dirt. This is it! If you have been waiting months or years for us to finally review this movie, your days of suffering are now over. Here it is in all it’s glory. This may be the perfect movie for a show like ours to actually review because, #1 – it’s dumb, #2 – it’s funny, #3 – it has great cars, and #4 – this movie is told, in audio story form, from a radio station, with everyone glued to their audio listening device. This was a time when real stars were on the radio….which we’re just going to claim as old-school form of a podcast. It may also be (in a way) the redneck cousin sequel to our favorite movie Tommy Boy as well (listen in for details).

Dodge insiders from the marketing brands and vehicle designers give great information about upcoming models as well as hints about what the future could bring.

This week I spoke to Rick Katzeff, CEO of ExoMod. Their company is creating all new “1968 Charger bodies and applying them to brand new Hellcat Dodge Challenger shells. The end result is a new creation that drives and performs like a new car, but with the looks of the classics. Seems easy enough, right?

Movie Review ReRun: Friends, prepare to enjoy a re-review if what is quite possibly the greatest road-trip movie ever made: Tommy Boy! Chris Farley and David Spade play (basically) themselves in this odd-couple MOPAR trip that saves the employees of Callahan Auto – and the town of Sandusky, OH itself – from the inevitable corporate takeover bearing down upon it. Chances are you have this movie memorized inside and out already. If you don’t, take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed because you apparently have spare time. Plus, we have did the entire Second Hour of the show for the Patreon audience and have included it here….so if one show isn’t enough, two is going be as smart as taking the Butcher’s word for on a T-Bone steak. PERFECT 10 CORNDOG RATING.
Note: The original first hour of our Tommy Boy review was original published in October of 2019 in Episode 126. For the first time ever we are re-releasing this review, complete with the additional second hour that was for our Patreon only audience! This baby is 2 hours of jam packed movie quotes, GTX trivia, and insider MOPAR knowledge that brother just gotta hug about. Enjoy!

K&F Show #222: Mr Mom and Air Fryers; Dukes of Hazzard S7E08 Review “Go West, Young Dukes”
Presented with Holley and MSD! Did you know that MSD – the most trusted name in hot rod ignition known to man – is part of Holley? Well if not…now you do! That’s right, that magical red “spark box” that was in every race car and high school hot rod you can think of has the same great quality and support of any Holley product you can think of.

Dukes Review: We’ve been telling you for years that The Dukes of Hazzard was a modern day Western, just with cars instead of horses. Well – this time – it’s literal. This is the episode of the Dukes in the old west (and by that we mean the South, but that’s harder to explain). If you’re a fan of the Dukes you’ll like this episode. It’s fun. If you’re in it for the car, skip it.
I really think this was yet another Season 7 metaverse episode – like the Waylon visit – where they know it’s tv, we know it’s tv, they know it’s a western, we know it’s a western, and with a wink and a nod they just did the obvious next metaverse move. Frankly, the only thing they didn’t do in this episode was paint a horse orange and put numbers on it.
