Dukes Review:
Bo and Luke are deputized to pay off a traffic citation while driving the General Lee naked and crashing into Rosco’s patrol car. As part of their new Deputy duties that are required to escort Public Enemy #1 from Springfield to Hazzard. This leads to them (kind of?) sexually harassing Dolly Parton’s sister. Following that, Dolly’s sister goes rogue and tries to kill Public Enemy #1. But then, it all works out and only the bad guy goes to prison, Dolly goes back to Springfield, and Waylon gets back to inappropriate comments about women (which is apparently OK in Season 1).

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!
