Dukes Review: This is the episode where the General Lee goes rabid! The General gets turned into a remote controlled car, set to detail a train full of money with a load of dynamite in the trunk. Boss Hogg was behind the scheme of course, but the Dukes came back and nearly fought to the death to protect the most important their lives: their honor? No. Their fortune? No? Their reputation? NO! It was for their car! We have all learned this life lesson, and like them we all know that cars have a soul, need to be protected, and need to be fought for. Quite honestly, if it weren’t for the miniature stunt – which thankfully were minimal – this episode would be an 11 out of 10. Plus, the bad guy just happened to be Kung Fun Joe from to classic movie spook “I’m gonna get you Sucka!”

K&F Show #223: Corndog Give The Thumper Cam The Boot; Dukes of Hazzard S7E09 Review S7 EP9 “Cale Yarborough Comes to Hazzard”

Dukes Review: Cale Yarborough returns for some reason and he’s a better actor than many other guest stars! Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins) from Saved by the Bell gets to be a star, finally! This is his third appearance on the Dukes, but first as a bad guy. More notably, and most importantly though, Al White (think “Jive Talk” from Airplane!) returns to Hazzard to play the role of another bad guy. Al White can do no wrong! Unfortunately, even though Cal Yarborough is here….this rest of this episode only does wrong. Lotsa wrong. Lotsa horrible horrible wrong. This episode features not 1, not 2, not 3, but 4 miniature General Lee stunts….and….AND….a two wheel ski stunt. I can rationalize the cost savings of not jumping real cars dammit, but putting a car up on two wheels? That’s like – $30 in tires at this point and $50 for Buzz Bundy to work his magic for 5 minutes. But, I digress.
Anyway, here’s the plot. An orphan is sick, he’s huge Cale Yarborough fan and though we’ve never ever seen him before (and we’ll never see him again) he’s super close to the Dukes and they get Cale to come and cheer him up.
These damn miniatures. Not even the awesomeness of Cale Yarborough, Mr Belding, and Al White can overcome that.

Dukes Review: We’ve been telling you for years that The Dukes of Hazzard was a modern day Western, just with cars instead of horses. Well – this time – it’s literal. This is the episode of the Dukes in the old west (and by that we mean the South, but that’s harder to explain). If you’re a fan of the Dukes you’ll like this episode. It’s fun. If you’re in it for the car, skip it.
I really think this was yet another Season 7 metaverse episode – like the Waylon visit – where they know it’s tv, we know it’s tv, they know it’s a western, we know it’s a western, and with a wink and a nod they just did the obvious next metaverse move. Frankly, the only thing they didn’t do in this episode was paint a horse orange and put numbers on it.

Dukes Review: Before I say the following about this season 7 episode, there are two miniature jumps in this episode and that makes me sad. And then there is a real jump that’s redeeming, but it’s recycled. And the General Lee is barely in this episode, which is bad. But with all that said, this episode is awesome. It’s not Season 2-3 magic, it’s no Carnival of Thills, it’s not the one where Bo got amnesia and thought he was Boss Hogg’s son, it’s certainly not Happy Birthday General Lee…..but this is a really great episode.
Summary: Bo and Luke get caught by some corrupt southern law, and that corrupt southern law does what it does best…..show off. They get sentenced to a road gang, in fact, and while it’s certainly fully intended to be a Cool Hand Luke ripoff, it works! They escape, wrongs are righted; the end.
From a production standpoint this episode is really terrific. It gives us outstanding REAL FOOTAGE SCENES of John and Tom driving…..and the General saves the day with Catherine Bach behind the wheel. The acting in this episode is so believable, so real, you will almost forget you’re watching the Dukes of Hazzard. Almost.

Movie Review: In honor of the upcoming Masters Tournament we bring you our review of the best automotive golf move starring Adam Sandler known to man; Happy Gilmore. Think of it like Billy Madison, but it’s about golf, has Apollo Creed in it, and stars a ’74 Duster with a sweet aftermarket sunroof!
Happy Gilmore is a man who wished he was a hockey player and who was raised by his grandmother after his mother ran out of him and his dad was killed by an errant hockey puck. While his hockey dream would never become a reality, the slapshot he mastered would help him to become a long drive golf hero of the common man. It would also somehow get him beat up by Bob Barker, host of “The Price is Right!”
Aside from the slapstick humor, this also gave us the chance to do a deep dive on A-Body MOPARS and investigate the magic “1973 and newer” front disc brake swap phenomenon that changed MOPAR humanity as we know it. All credit goes to Happy!

Dukes Review: In this episode – a fake movie star played by Barry Van Dyke comes to Hazzard – a real TV show – to shoot a fake movie inside of the real TV show – and then they all go to Hollywood to a fake movie studio – that’s really the real Warner Brothers Studios – to shoot the movie as if they were in a TV show about creating a fake movie. Everyone got that?
Barry Van Dyke is someone you may know, but you definitely know his dad……none other than Dick Van Dyke, star of stage and screen, a TV show of his own name, murder mysterious, and the beloved Disney classics. Anyway, they shoot the entire episode on the real Warner Brothers backlot, and SHOW YOU the backlot. The General drives up Hollywood BLDV even. Maybe this was just a gift to we fans who knew the end was near, who know. This is a great episode – in fact so great that the second Dukes of Hazzard reunion TV movie was based on it (Hazzard in Hollywood). Corndog’s real screen used General did the jump in that episode!

Movie Review: It may be hard to believe, but despite the fact that we have referenced Dumb & Dumber over a billion times in the history of this show….we have never actually reviewed one of the best movies ever made. Today, that will be rectified. We present for your our review of Dumb and Dumber!
This is a movie that you will love every time you see it, you’ll never get sick of quoting it, and you’ll laugh just as hard every time. My sister loves this movie. My buddies love this movie. If you have ever met someone that thinks this movie is dumb, you need to dust the feet off of your sandals and move on from that wacko – they can’t be saved.
Out of 10 Corndogs, this baby gets a perfect 11.

K&F Show #217: Which Batmobile is the Battest; Dukes of Hazzard S7E05 Review “No More Mr. Nice Guy”
Presented with Holley! Visit Holley.com and make SURE you tell them we sent you!
Dukes Review: I like classic Dukes scripts and inside references…..and this episode has both. A classic amnesia plot device along with framing the Dukes for (insert reason here) makes this a classic tale of southern fried 1984 goodness. But in Season 7, with all of the super terrible episodes we have to deal with, this one may as well be eligible for an Emmy.
Here’s the summary: A smack talking robot that looks like a dude in a cardboard robot costume your 4 year old would make comes to Hazzard, has a southern slang name, and becomes the new Sheriff of Hazzard.
You know that story you’ve heard that During World War I, on Christmas Eve, British and German troops stopped the fighting amongst to horror of war to celebrate Christmas together, that’s what this episode is like in Season 7. Amidst the horror, we have this nice episode. The episode you knew they had in them. Sure, there are some miniatures stunts, but just a few, and there are a couple of kind good real ones, and all the great stunts are recycled from previous seasons. Yes – I know that in Season 5 they offset the suck of Coy and Vance with AMAZING stunts, but this episode…..gives me hope.
The light at the end of the tunnel might not be an oncoming train. 7 Corndogs

K&F Show #216: 2022 Daytona 500; Movie Review – Days of Thunder
Presented with Holley! Visit Holley.com and make SURE you tell them we sent you!
Movie Review: Days of Thunder! The team that brought you Top Gun, brings you Top Car – better known as Days of Thunder. Both movies feature a wildly talented but undisciplined rebel who is as awesome with driving machinery as he is with the ladies. Both feature a helmet-less motorcycle riding Tom Cruise as the lead who goes through massive success riding his own ego….until his butt can’t cash them when he gets hurt – in one case just mentally, and in the other physically. Both leave him scared to re-engage at the thing he does best…until he basically resolves it in about 20 seconds by realizing….he’d damn well better or his friends were going to die in one case, and in the other they’d just be super bummed they lost the race…and move on with life. Whatever.
Both feature a wise father figure Tom Cruise at first rejects the authority of, then later craves the leadership and approval from. Both have Val Kilmer as Iceman playing the uber talented and more successful nemesis turned friend….except in Days of Thunder it’s Michael Rooker playing Rowdy Burns, both have an amazing failure on the first try to woo the leading lady, and both have a dead goose scene…except in days of thunder it was just a bird run over by a rental car. This is the most perfect racing movie of all however, and even today still is adored by fans – and NASCAR drivers – including the current reigning NASCAR Cup Series Champion who goes by the name of Rowdy Busch…and runs number 51 on his own race cars outside of the Cup Series. This is the movie that proves to get the girls, you gotta go fast, and if you’re from California you’re not really a yankee…you’re not really from anywhere.

K&F Show #215: NASCAR Next Gen+Super Bowl+Valentine’s Day Mashup; Dukes of Hazzard S7E04 Review “Robot P. Coltrane”
Presented with Holley! Visit Holley.com and make SURE you tell them we sent you!
Dukes Review: Compared to this episode, the last episode that I gave -4 Corndogs to….was pretty good. This episode…..is the new lowest point of the Dukes of Hazzard (until we get to the episode with the short alien). Much like the American automotive industry, this episode is another example of great innovation and horrible execution.
Here’s the summary: A smack talking robot that looks like a dude in a cardboard robot costume your 4 year old would make comes to Hazzard, has a southern slang name, and becomes the new Sheriff of Hazzard.
Once again, the Dukes of Hazzard sets a future trend – which in this case is technology automating the role of the working man – but that won’t help you to avoid thinking about how much you hate what has become of your favorite TV show ever. But, if I’m honest, I can’t hate this episode….because it’s so laughably terrible. They know it. We know it. And they know that we know it. -10 Corndogs
