K&F Show #360: Spring Break Banter & Future Car Rumors // Movie Review, “The Other Guys”
This week on the Kibbe & Friends Show, Rob Kibbe, Justin “CornDog” Cornette, and Bernie “Broke Wing” McPartland revisit one of their favorite comedy movie reviews — The Other Guys starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Originally featured back in Episode 290, the film remains a perfect blend of absurd comedy and automotive moments, highlighted by the unforgettable red Prius police car and the completely dysfunctional detective duo trying to live up to the legend of the “real” hero cops. The crew revisits the movie’s most memorable scenes, quotes, and ridiculous moments while breaking down why it still holds up as one of the funniest buddy-cop comedies ever made.
Before diving into the movie rewind, the guys warm things up with their usual off-the-rails banter — covering everything from St. Patrick’s Day trivia and spring break plans to a few eyebrow-raising future car rumors spotted in a recent Car and Driver article. That includes reactions to a possible Corvette SUV, a Mustang Raptor, and the rumored return of the Hemi V8 in the Dodge Charger. As always, the conversation drifts through car culture, pop culture, and plenty of laughs before rolling into the movie review that anchors this week’s episode.

Car Movie Review: Michael Keaton’s “Gung Ho”
Well, you know it would happen sometime. We finally reviewed the car movie starring Michael Keaton and Long Duck Dong, and it’s glorious! A fictional Japanese Automotive company decided to expand production into the US in the mid 1980’s…..a lot like the actual companies really did. And the Japanese have a wholly different work ethic than do regular old Union US Auto Workers. And that’s true – or was back then. And a well intentioned but perpetually lucky Union Leader talks them into saving an abandoned US automotive plant that was the center of their town. The Japanese agreed, but only if the plant could be run with kaizen; a process of continuous improvement and dedication to work above all else. So….that didn’t work at all. But in the end, to save the plant, and save the town, the Japanese and the Americans work together to make something great….and by that, I mean the effort, not the cars. 8 Corndogs!
