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.

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!

Thanksgiving Movie Review: “Planes, Trains, & Automobiles”

K&F Movie Summary: If you have ever had a boat anchor of a friend that somehow became someone you loved so much you hated yourself for it, Planes Trains and Automobiles is the Thanksgiving movie that’ll make you cry with joy. Steve Martin plays Neal Page, an overworked executive just trying to get home two days before Thanksgiving to his family. Del Griffith is a loud mouth overweight blabber mouth salesman that seemingly loves only to talk people to death, followed by enjoying life as a perpetual slob. But this odd couple gets stuck together, and they have the road trip of a lifetime via planes, trains, buses, and automobiles. Along with way hands are shoved into butts, the F-Bomb is laced together in a way that’ll make your mother cry with tears and your dad cry with laughter, and six different Dodge LeBaron’s give their life to become so famous as the best buddy car of all time that it ended up in Deadpool and and Wolverine. This is an absolutely perfect, quotable, re-watchable, funny, thoughtful, sad, loving, and hilarious movie that we’ll all watch on Thanksgiving until we die. 10 Turkey Rolls!

Legit Movie Car Facts:

-Six custom-painted, green 1986 Dodge 600 convertibles served as comic relief throughout the movie modified with the Lebaron grille, headlights, taillights, and wood siding. . The cars were re-branded as a fictional Gran Detroit, Farm and Country Edition.

-Chrysler wanted no part of any relationship with the car.

-No actual Town & Country convertibles were destroyed during filming because the studio found plain ’86 Dodge 600s and Chrysler LeBarons, painted them green, and then applied the stock wood trim afterward.

-Special “D” hood badges replaced Chrysler ones on convertibles used in the movie.

-It is so famous that it made a cameo in Dealpool vs Wolverine

-The enormous wire wheel covers were a joke.

-The color green was chosen by John Hughes himself to go with the wood siding. The car is a nod to another famous Hughes movie car, the Family Truckster from National Lampoons Vacation.  

-Only one of the cars survived and was repainted a cream color. It was last seen in Los Angeles in 2009.

Car Movie Review: 2004’s “Starsky & Hutch” Feature Film

K&F Movie Summary: If you combined Old School, Wedding Crashers, Anchorman, and the Hangover with a former Dukes of Hazzard stunt driver, you’d get this; an unbelievably funny remake with great car action, great music, and likely a pure hatred from original fans of the show!

Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson play Detectives David Starsky and Ken Hutchison in the 2004 Hollywood remake of Starsky and Hutch. They chase bad-buy-drug-lord Vince Vaughn across fictional Bay City in a hopped up ’76 Gran Torino, painted Dodge Viper red with a beefed up small block Ford under the good. They get in a dance off, are accosted by Will Ferrell into acting like naked dragon riders, shoot a pony and a Karmann Ghia, all just to get to the bottom of the mysterious untraceable cocaine deal that Jason Bateman (Vaughn’s henchman) is making happen.

This movie is full of one liners, good cars, and a version of Huggy Bear played by Snoop Dogg that’ll give you faith in the underworld. But best of all, it ends in a car chase littered with jumps across a golf course and (almost) landed on a yacht.

Classic Dukes Re-Review: S3E7 “Baa Baa White Sheep”

K&F Show Summary: Since we are just a few weeks from the 2024 Presidential election I thought we’d focus on the most presidential episode of the Dukes ever.  This is the one with Abe Lincoln of the United States of America and Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States of America. Of course both are the twin brothers Hogg, the good guy dresses in black and the bad guy dresses in white, and both are played by Sorrell Booke, sometimes who is the same character faking being the other character. The same Cadillac plays both roles too, black and white just like the relative suits. And just like we’ve seen before and will see again, Abe Lincoln Hogg is a character that we’ve never seen before and never will again, but I’m here to tell you that this episode is one of the golden age of television. It’s an age when characters were explained away in half a sentence, the Bible was put in a good light but still taken completely wrong and out of context, and high heels are swapped out for sneakers for jiggling running scenes that end in on screen lady mud wresting. This pre-dates the Ronald Regan presidency and reality in plots, and we may be dumber for watching it. But it’s silly, and fun, and childish, and wonderful. 9 Dogs.

Classic Dukes Re-Review: S7E17
“Opening Night at the Boars’ Nest”

Note: This Dukes review is a rebroadcast from Episode 236 of the Kibbe and Friends Show. 

K&F Show Summary: I (Kibbe) 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.

Corndog’s Pick – Dukes Review: S1E2
“Daisy’s Song”

Note: This Dukes episode was originally reviewed by Rob Kibbe and Mike Finnegan in Episode 277 of The MuscleCar Place. It was part of the “DukesCast” segment…and predates the Kibbe and Friends show entirely! This episodes is THE episode with every last detail on the Daisy Roadrunner that Corndog is creating his replica of! His car will be at MOPARTY 2024 for Catherine Bach’s use! 

K&F Show Summary: In this second ever episode of the Dukes of Hazzard we learn that Daisy Duke is an aspiring songstress. She spends her own money to have a song published, it is, and it is then recorded professionally but a real country singer.,……all so that we get to watch her show up in a 70’s one piece that is definitely still in fashion. Bo and Luke trick the bad guys into thinking Daisy can be an “AI” impersonator of real singers so they can then sell the now fake records for real money. And it turns out that the bad guys are really run by Boss Hogg, which is honeying up to women and trying to get in cahoots with – effectively – the mob! This may be the weirdest, coolest, and most true-to-it’s creator (Gy Waldron) episode ever…..and it has the full details on the Daisy RoadRunner that our man Corndog is preparing this very second.

Back To School Movie Review
“Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”

Note: This Dukes review is a rebroadcast from Episode 228 of the Kibbe and Friends Show. With summer ending and kids heading back to school, this was the closest “school” car thing we could think of. Plus….Emily Kibbe is headed off to her first year of college and Dad Kibbe needed an extra 10 minutes to cry. Enjoy!

K&F Show Summary with Special Guest, Ryan Brutt:

Ferris Bueller’s Day off is the tale of one high school hero who truly had it all; looks, brains, money, friends, a smokin’ hot girlfriend, popularity, style, and panache. However, despite all of that he still lacked the two things that he needed most….a day off, and a car! This is the tale of Ferris Bueller, the 4th wall breaking, Ferrari stealing, John Hughes immortal movie hit of 1986. Like nearly every other John Hughes tale the setting of the story was the Chicago suburbs!

The Ferrari in the film is supposed to be a 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California. The insert shots of emblems and wheels really are of the genuine article, but absolutely everything else was a faker-oo Modena Spyder replica (three of them, actually). Ferrari was none too happy with this movie and sued Modena out of business. Most reports show that the Ford powered replicas were ham-fisted together, ran poorly, and broke down often. In fact our man Ryan Brutt (The Auto Archaeologist) joined in to share the tales of the man that keep the fake Ferrari’s running during the movie filming; his dad!
