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!

KF Dukes Episode Summary:
Once again we get an episode of the Dukes that’s racist and misogynistic (and by the way internet, that’s a tongue-in-cheek joke that means the episode is the opposite thing). The Dukes meet a female NASCAR driver and have then do the unthinkable…….they just treat her as a complete equal and respect her highly!
Anyway, Daisy gets recruited by Molly Hargrove, a former lady NASCAR driver who needed a new driver to pay her bills…..at any cost. Her plan is to teach Daisy how to win as a no good dirty evil driver…..someone so heinous they would spin people out on the last lap of the Daytona 500. Can you imagine such a thing? Anyway, Boss Hogg weasels in on the deal, Bo and Luke beat up bad guys, Daisy quits and Daisy comes back home. This is the episode that made me think becoming a race car driver was super lucrative and that basically driving any car was like driving a stock car as long as it has a window net.

Movie Review: Days of Thunder
Note: This episodes features a rebroadcast of our review of Days of Thunder from KF Show 216. Just like Cole Trickle, we’re more afraid of being nothing than we are of being hurt. Somehow….that makes this re-run make a lot more sense. Enjoy!
Summary: The team that brought you Top Gun, brings you Top Car – better known as Days of Thunder. Both movies feature a wildly talented but undisciplined rebel who is as awesome with driving machinery as he is with the ladies. Both feature a helmet-less motorcycle riding Tom Cruise as the lead who goes through massive success riding his own ego….until his butt can’t cash them when he gets hurt – in one case just mentally, and in the other physically. Both leave him scared to re-engage at the thing he does best…until he basically resolves it in about 20 seconds by realizing….he’d damn well better or his friends were going to die in one case, and in the other they’d just be super bummed they lost the race…and move on with life. Whatever.
Both feature a wise father figure Tom Cruise at first rejects the authority of, then later craves the leadership and approval from. Both have Val Kilmer as Iceman playing the uber talented and more successful nemesis turned friend….except in Days of Thunder it’s Michael Rooker playing Rowdy Burns, both have an amazing failure on the first try to woo the leading lady, and both have a dead goose scene…except in days of thunder it was just a bird run over by a rental car. This is the most perfect racing movie of all however, and even today still is adored by fans – and NASCAR drivers – including the current reigning NASCAR Cup Series Champion who goes by the name of Rowdy Busch…and runs number 51 on his own race cars outside of the Cup Series. This is the movie that proves to get the girls, you gotta go fast, and if you’re from California you’re not really a yankee…you’re not really from anywhere.

Classic Car Movie Review with Mike Finnegan: Groundhog Day
NOTE: This movie review was originally published in Episode 58 of the K&F show. We know that. You know that. It’s like we’re living the same day over and over, right?
K&F Show Summary:
It’s February, the Super Bowl and the Daytona 500 are right around the corner, Valentine’s Day is upon is, and once again Groundhog Day has come and gone. It’s 6 more weeks of winter….again! This seemed like a perfect excuse to re-run our classic review of the movie of the same name.
What can we say that you don’t know already about the movie Groundhog Day? As it turns out…plenty, but mostly because it amused us to do so. This is the epic fable of the blessing – or curse – of repeating a day over and over and over again. Bill Murray stars as the Phil the weatherman from Philly, sent to cover Phil the Groundhog from Punxsutawney give his annual weather prognostication. Only for Phil the weatherman, Phil the Groundhog causes him to re-live his day in Punxsutawney over, and over, and over again. He tries to eat, drink, and kill himself every day…but it fails. Only when he starts doing acts of service and kindness do things improve. Then he finds love and gets out of the cycle, conveniently about when the movie is ready to end. It’s fantastic. There’s a Chevy C-20 that bites it at one point too. And an Eldorado drives on train tracks. 10-out-of-10 Corndogs.

K&F Show Summary:
Every four years in the United States we swear in a Presidential administration and this year is no different. Donald Trump has become just the second person in U.S. history to serve in non-consecutive terms. We dug into that and other fun-filled Wikipedia facts about Presidential stuff. Also covered: Bernie on the News, January Celebrity Automotive Birthdays, and a review of the second episode of Tim Allen’s new ABC car-themed sitcom: Shifting Gears.
Dukes of Hazzard Episode Review:
This episode has everything. Small pushbar Generals, egregious use of the concept of amnesia, Voice impersonation as good – or better than – AI, and a clearly directed passenger side entry of the General by Daisy that doesn’t seem helpful in any way…..other than for where the camera was placed if you get by gist. Bo gets amnesia by hitting his head on a rock. In turn Boss convinces him that he is his loving father, and that be needs Bo to be a good son and drive a load of moonshine through Chickasaw county. What’s unbeknownst to Bo but knownst to us that Sheriff Little is there waiting for him….because he hates moonshiners. This is a fun episode where there’s no point, there’s no lesson, and there’s no dramatic acting – in any way; it’s just just pure automotive escapism.

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!

2025 is here! We’re kicking things off with a look at what we’re in for this year, Bernie on the News, and a look at Tim Allen’s new ABC car-themed sitcom: Shifting Gears. We’re going to add it to the pop culture review!
Dukes Review: This is the first episode to release in 1985 and was (as of right now) exactly 40 years ago! By this point in the show the series was actually over. Filming had ceased. Actors were looking for new jobs. General Lee’s were sitting idly, waiting for a young Corndog to document them, knowing that there were 27 General Lee’s at the time and he stashed 8 of them for himself to find when he grew up. Tom Wopat directs the episode and – like his previous episodes – really gives fan service, interesting camera angles, and always establishes where the General is. There are no miniatures used of any kind – only recycled footage of jumps and new wrecks. At the end everyone is on scene together and happy. Rosco is over the top funny. It’s a really nice episode. White there are no new jumps, there are new stunts in it – including a big General Lee wreck that is potentially that last GL to be wrecked on screen. But I have to admit…it kind of seems like a goodbye.

Christmas Movie Review: “The Christmas Chronicles”
K&F Show Summary:
Merry Christmas! I addition to our year end Christmas Music spectacular game we are pleased to bring you our review of “The Christmas Chronicles” movie starring Kurt Russell. This movie may portray the coolest onscreen Santa ever…and he even knows how to drift a Challenger! This review originally aired in KF Show #281 in 2023.
Movie Summary: Two kids who have lost their dad to tragedy are on the very edge of tragedy themselves…the tragedy of not believing! Teddy the older brother is turning to crime, and Katy the younger sister is innocent. They catch Santa in the act at their house, jump in his sleigh, scare the bejesus out of him, lose the reindeer and the presents, crash the sleigh, steal a red 2009 Dodge Challenger, jump it, end up in jail, then a chop shop, and then have to get it all back together by Christmas morning or the world explodes. Even worse, during the chaos they also lost Santa’s magic hat, which is the think that makes the sleigh fly! At the end though they make it just in time to Save Christmas and Santa finally reveals (in the coolest of Kurt Russell moves) that the hat was a ruse. As Santa Claus himself could (of course) fly the whole time and the whole crazy night was to show Teddy – who was suffering from the loss of his dad – how regain the belief in something himself, and something far bigger. If you’re only in it for the cars, the Challenger shines wonderfully. We believe Four Star Motorsports did the prep….and we THINK we have identified the Canadian stunt driver too!

Christmas Dukes Review: S3E9 “The Great Santa Claus Chase”
K&F Show Summary:
Merry Christmas! Were pleased to bring you our favorite review on the only Dukes of Hazzard Christmas episode, S3E9 title the Great Santa Claus Chase. This review originally aired in KF Show #247 in 2022.
Christmas Dukes Review: Somehow, an episode that has next to no General Lee in it…..is so endearing and charming it must be due to Christmas magic! In this episode they choose to re-enact the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. This is the tale of “Scrooge Hogg” stealing Christmas trees from Hazzard citizens and the Duke boys and Crazy Cooter stealing them back to deliver them in Santa Claus suits. Not good enough? In a nod to childlike happiness, the three bad guys in the episode also wear Santa Claus suits….meaning there are 6 Santas onscreen at one time. When the bad guys in Santa suits get caught, Cletus calls them “Merry Men!” The Boars Nest is decorated, proving that Christmas decorations at dive bars make them extra cheery. Better yet, there are carols, hot chocolate, and this episode ends on a message of what Christmas is all about; unconditional forgiveness…..topped off by some jingle bells flying overhead by (possibly) a certain jolly old Elf.
Rating: 10 Little Debbie Christmas Cakes!
