K&F Show #364: Special Edition Movie Review! Dazed and Confused (1993) – Last Day of High School in 1976

In this Special Edition episode, we shift gears from Hazzard County to a true cult classic—Dazed and Confused (1993). Set on the last day of school in May of 1976, this isn’t your typical movie breakdown. Instead of one central storyline, the film drops you into a full-on snapshot of teenage life—cruising backroads, chasing parties, navigating friendships, and figuring out what comes next when everything familiar suddenly ends.

We break down what makes this movie hit so differently, especially now. From the perspective of looking back on high school versus living it in the moment, the conversation digs into how the film captures that strange in-between phase of life—where you don’t yet know what matters, but somehow you’re right in the middle of it. There’s also plenty of discussion around the characters, including Randall “Pink” Floyd’s internal battle with expectations, Mitch Kramer’s brutal introduction into high school culture, and of course the unforgettable presence of Wooderson—who may or may not have ever actually graduated.

Naturally, we go deep on the cars—and this movie delivers. From the black Chevelle SS 454 to the orange GTO Judge, plus Trans Ams, Broncos, pickups, and everything in between, the car selection is as authentic as it gets. Nothing feels forced or out of place, and that realism adds to the entire experience. The soundtrack gets its due as well, with wall-to-wall 70s rock that drives the tone of every scene and eats up a surprising chunk of the film’s budget.

This is part movie review, part time capsule, and part reflection on what it all meant then—and what it means now. Whether you’ve seen it once or a hundred times, there’s something here that hits a little differently depending on where you are in life.

TMCP #539: Ask Rick – Good (and Bad) NPD Sponsorships, The End of of the Challenger and Camaro, and Investment Cars!

May is here and car shows are starting up across the nation. Also Cinco de Mayo and Memorial day are around the corner and the official start of summer is near. I hope you have your car out or your project almost done to a point where you can drive it and enjoy the warmer weather. This time I decided to once again Ask Rick about six cars from two different categories.  The first set of cars are of “pedigree”and have either a track record or history that makes them special. The other category is $10k starter cars that are ready to go out and make some summer memories. Ricks take on these is always clear and to the point.

TMCP #435: Brian Little and Doug Warble, How to Run and GROW a Car Club – Ask Rick; Factory Stainless Steel Hot Rods, From Ford!

For the Fourth of July, I wanted to get an all American interview about banding together with friends regarding our favorite cars in car clubs. I talked to two guests, Brian Little and previous show guest Doug Warble (episode 357) from the Susquehanna Valley GTO Club, which is a Chapter of the GTO Association of America. It’s 80+ members strong! They came on to talk about starting and running a car club and growing it’s membership. It turns out the techniques to growing ANY organization apply….and it all comes down to the the “want to” to see it happen.

TMCP #394: Mike Paul: Liquidating a Massive Buick, Olds, Pontiac Collection of Documented Rare Cars Needing Restoration – Pro-Touring Update with Larry Callahan

Liquidating a huge collection of Buick, Olds, and Pontiacs:

This week our guest was Mike Paul, the host of the Motor Madhouse Podcast and life long muscle car fanatic. His love of cars goes back to his upbringing and he has learned a lot from his father where he helped him curate a collected of Buick, Olds, and Pontiac muscle cars that were all well documented (and rare enough) to warrant a restoration. Many have highly rare option combinations, or in one case ONLY go fast options and nothing else. Mike told the details and gives some history on some of the cars which was fascinating on many levels. While they did have the chance to restore many cars, but there’s only so much time in life and the reality was they’d never see them all done. This discussion is all about liquidating the collection and moving them on to new homes!
