Movie Review: Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
The KF Show is off at SEMA 2022 this week! That’s good news though, because we’ll come back with plenty of stories and content for you. In the mean time we are kicking off the month of November with a “re-run” of our famous review of Planes, Trains, and Automobiles!
So here’s the thing – when it comes to a Thanksgiving themed highly quotable slapstick-yet-tearjerker movie to review there’s really only one that is worthy of doing so for: Planes, Trains & Automobiles. Let’s admit it – John Hughes plus Steve Martin plus John Candy equals perfection. And yes, before you even say it, we have reviewed this movie years before with Finnegan (Episode 51) in fact. And yes…it was so funny then that, like this movie, it’s worth a repeat of because it’s as timeless as it gets….plus the re-enactment of the “you play with your balls” scene was pretty epic!
Better yet….the entire second hour on Patreon (www.patreon.com/kfshow) does a deeper dive on the car, the quotes, the unaired plot points that explained so much more, and another movie re-enactment of the most famous scene in the movie. You know the one….those aren’t pillows!
Kick back and enjoy – and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Dukes Review: DIt’s the Dukes of Hazzard Reunion……again. This time, like the last time, the combine some old scripts from the TV series and create a slightly newer episode from it. Which episodes you ask – well – at a minimum, Season 7 Episode 6 titled The Dukes in Hollywood, combined with Daisy’s Song from Season 1, combined with – possibly – the 1962 movie The Music Man – which ironically the Hazzard town set was built for. Now, add to that a brand new jump of a General Lee – the first since the TV show ended – and it gets more interesting.
And add to that that we see the original hero car close up inside – a lot – and that’s fun. But perhaps most interesting of all is that this TV movie is possibly, nay, probably the precursor to a little movie that will come out one year later in 2001. That movie, like this episode, features a teaming up a local Mexican or hispanic family that fights crime with cars, likes block parties, and has a penchant for the ’68-70 Dodge Charger. That’s right. Add this to the list of stuff the Dukes invented but did not get credit for; the Dukes created the Fast and Furious Franchise. The end.

Dukes Review: When I heard in 1996 that there was going to be a Dukes reunion I ran out and bought a copy of the National Enquirer. Why? Because pictures of the Dukes filming were in it for some reason? Entertainment Tonight had a segment called “hot rod heaven” with Bo and Luke laying on the hood of the General and talking to each other, and everyone was going to be in it. And then it premiered. And they had a different theme song. And Waylon Jennings wasn’t the balladeer. And they had new sound effects for the General Lee, not to mention the General looked different and goofy. Why are the numbers, pushbar, tailpanel, roll bar all messed up? And the lighting and picture and coloring was weird. And other than Bo, everyone looked older….and maybe not quite as tight and right as they once were, but hey, Dukes is Dukes. Rosco is funny, Jesse is good, Luke is still stronger and faster than everyone, and Bo can still drive. Cleetus returns – which I’m glad to see – Cooter returns from serving in Congress of all things – Daisy…..is getting a PHD and has an affinity for eating ribs.
It’s basically just a two hour regular Dukes episode where the boys have to race the General Lee to save the farm (again), Enos proposes to Daisy and she says yes (again) only to then cancel on him (again), but even a weird episode of the Dukes is better than no Dukes. Plus, this is the one where Corndog’s real General Lee made it’s premier! Bonus info: the first time you see the GL on screen in this episode….is Corndog’s car!

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).

Dukes Review: Rob’s Summary…I was in 5th grade when this episode originally aired. I sadly didn’t understand it all coming to an end at that time as a kid, and now as a near 50 year old adult it seems just as hard but yet totally for different reasons. For the last six and a half years we have made a show about a show, and I for one have loved it! Anyway, enough with the sappiness. This is the final episode of the Dukes, John Schneider finally gets to write and direct something…..my High School Nova reappears one last time….and the General Lee actually gets hurt – from, a jump! The stunts are grossly limited as you’d expect from a cancelled show, but nonetheless the plot must go on. So…here’s the plot: there’s a Hazzard County talent show at the Boar’s Nest and Rosco has a magician’s act that supposedly makes Boss disappear. But when Boss actually gets kidnapped the Dukes must rescue him from two stone cold killers….so that Boss can get back in time to rescue Roscoe’s broken heart.

Dukes Review: The classic tale. Boy pines after girl, girl thinks of him as a friend, boy saves girls life over and over again…girl thinks of him as a friend again, boy once again saves girls life, girl proposes out of guilt, boy declines out of rightful pride, then everyone decides to get married, and then boy gets hives out of a reaction to happiness. The wedding is then cancelled until the 1997 reunion show where it will be on again…until it’s canceled again. If I didn’t know better I’d say this show was going to be over soon. This is a boring episode for the most part done with little to no stunt budget, but at least there are NO miniature cars used.

Movie Review: Big government and big business used big media to crush the little man who was just trying to build a better mousetrap of a car! That’s right, our beloved Big 3 all agreed on something – and that something was getting their corrupt state senator to smoosh the competition of Preston Tucker for daring to want to offer a high speed, disc brake, seat belt equipped new car that could really move. I’m betting Elon Musk watched this movie, took notes on what NOT to do, then launched a car company without getting killed. That’s all tongue in cheek of course (hopefully)!
This is a movie that will inspire you, intrigue you, and make you want to learn more about the Tucker Automobile….but definitely the man who gave it name. It’ll also make you want to smoke, drink whiskey, and wear suits with fedoras. I don’t know how historically accurate it was in truth but let’s assume that it was in the ballpark. Sure made for a good movie!

Dukes Review: Orson Wells broadcast War of the World on the radio in 1938….then in the 1960’s Star Trek led to Star Wars in the 1970’s which led to ET in the early 80’s….and finally that led to this. Let’s get it over with. I know that I have been dreading this episode since we debuted this show in 2016….and I am betting that when the script for this episode leaked to the Warner Brother brass that they cancelled the series it before they even filmed this episode. That said, there’s too much negativity in this world as it is so let’s put on a happy face and enjoy what’s good!
First, there are no miniatures used in this episode for stunts (they rely on B-roll for jump footage). There are outstanding interior shots of the General Lee that will make us excited once again for tracking down the Forever Young soundstage Charger. There’s toe-tapping alien music music with a country twang. This might be the first – and only episode with graphical special effects. The power of local radio – and the local radioman standing at his post to deliver the news people need to know is displayed proudly in this episode. But what you don’t know is, this episode was the audition tape that John Schneider sent into the producers of Smallville….because this episode featured John Schneider – hiding an alien that can shoot lasers from his eyeballs – in a charming farmhouse.
There. We got through it. Together. 1 Corndog.

Dukes Review: Hughie Hogg returns with a fake Genie, a fake Magic Lamp, and a scorching case of hemorrhoids (we assume). This is a dumb episode, and for a series that started out with RV’s full of hookers being driven over county lines that became a family friendly show with a magic car, that then became a joke with imposter Dukes cousins, that then tried to put the Dream Team back together with a family friendly focus, it’s nice to end the series with a return of Hughie Hogg and his original two henchman. Again it’s dumb. Boss Hogg thinks that there is a genie in his office. A real genie. That’s all you need to know. And while there are miniature stunt….at least it isn’t of a jumping General Lee. And at the very end….the Dukes risk their lives to save the bad guy, and that’s a lesson from the Good Book any way you slice it.
