"Now you're the biggest idiot on two planets." | RocketMan (1997)
5d ago01:29:06Tap to summarizeThis week we strapped into our launch chairs and blasted off back to 1997 to revisit the peak slapstick, zero-gravity absurdity of Disney's RocketMan. We’re talking about Fred Z. Randall’s accidental astronaut journey, zero gravity shenanigans, and a chimpanzee co-pilot who might actually be the smartest crew member on the ship. Does this 90s nostalgia space trip still land with audiences?To survive the isolation of space we found the ultimate high octane rocket fuel: Voodoo Ranger G-Force IPA from New Belgium Brewing. Clocking in with a high enough alcohol percentage to simulate a real NASA gravity test, we’ll see if this crisp, hoppy pairing helps us stick the landing or causes a total mission failure. We certainly felt the impact from this one...He's got the whole world in his hands...Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#RocketMan #MovieReview #BeerPairing #VoodooRanger #GForce

"Stupid is as stupid does." | Forrest Gump
2w ago01:34:23Tap to summarizeThis week on the pod we... are... running back to 1994 as we review the Best Picture powerhouse that is Forrest Gump. It's truly an epic masterpiece that we feel funny even explaining it here. We breakdown everything from the music, the amazing adventures, and even the book that it was all based on.We couldn't think of a better pairing for this one than a special cocktail that even Forrest might have had 15 of, Flaming Dr. Pepper. That's right we figured it was the perfect homage to the great ping pong master and his affinity for the non-alcoholic ones. So get yours ready and don't set any fires.Life is like a box of chocolates...Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#ForrestGump #MovieReview #Podcast #FlamingDrPepper #DrinkPairing

"Dude, volcanic!" | Adventures in Dinosaur City
3w ago01:35:02Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast we unlock a prehistoric made-for-tv memory as we review the live-action fever dream that is Adventures in Dinosaur City. With peak 90s dialogue, teenage dinosaurs kicking butt and even a SNES companion video game, you'll be wondering how you missed this hidden gem. Or at the very least you'll wonder how we found it...To survive all this wild trip through dino mayhem we found the perfect pairing in Spinosaurus, a Mango IPA by the great people at Urban Artifact. A heavily-fruited tropical IPA that is perfectly equipped to balance out all the chaotic energy of a leather jacket wearing T-Rex and magical portals into cartoon worlds.But at least we'll always have Tar Town...Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#AdventuresinDinosaurCity #MovieReview #Dinosaurs #BeerPairing #UrbanArtifact

"When my Grandfather died, all I got was a sweater." | Little Big League
4w ago01:19:14Tap to summarizeBatter up, film buffs and beer lovers! This week on the podcast we stepped up to the plate and swung for the fences as we threw it back to 1994 to revisit Little Big League. Possibly the ultimate childhood fantasy movie that convinced every kid in the '90s they could manage a Major League baseball team with nothing more than baseball cards and video game knowledge. Quite possibly the best baseball movie that way too many people never heard of.To survive the high stakes of pennant races and middle-school homework, we cracked open a heavy hitter from the good people over at MadTree Brewing, Rounding Third Red IPA. This seasonal favorite brings a rich, caramel malt backbone that pairs beautifully with old-school stadium nostalgia, balanced by a sharp, citrusy hop finish that carries you all the way to home plate.You should start Wedman!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#LittleBigLeague #MovieReview #BeerPairing #MadTree #RoundingThird

"We don't need no stinking badgers." | UHF
Jun 2201:15:51Tap to summarizeThis week we tuned into the zany and chaotic world of UHF, the 1989 cult comedy masterpiece by the undisputed king of parody, "Weird Al" Yankovic. We revisit George Newman's wild ride running (and saving) Channel 62 and all the personalities that call it home, so fire up the transmitters and grab your accordions! To match the vibrant, loud, and delightfully unconventional energy of this film, we cracked open a few cans of Squeezebox, a heavily fruited Strawberry Fruit Tart from Cincinnati's Urban Artifact. It's fruity, tart and with a flavor strong enough to stand up to the fast-paced, colorful sketches of this classic comedy.Not too many people know this, but the turtle is also Nature's suction cup.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#UHF #WeirdAl #MovieReview #BeerPairing #UrbanArtifact

"I'll sic my dog on you" | Cujo
Jun 1501:20:35Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast we are breaking down the 1983 Stephen King claustrophobic horror classic, Cujo. We tackle the blistering summer heat, Dee Wallace’s powerhouse performance, and the sheer terror of a broken-down Ford Pinto as man's best friend turns a Castle Rock monster.To survive the tension, we’re cracking open a perfectly paired beverage, "Hair of the Dog" by Evil Genius Beer Company. It's a tart, crisp Pink Lemonade Ale that brings pure summer vibes. A refreshing reprieve from being trapped in a car by a 200-pound rabid St. Bernard.How did the monster get out of my closet?Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#Cujo #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #EvilGenius

"It'd be a lot cooler if you did" | Dazed and Confused
Jun 801:31:51Tap to summarizeThis week on the podcast we grabbed our keys, rolled down the windows, and started cruising all the way back to May 1976 to take a look at the Richard Linklater high school epic Dazed and Confused. From the legendary classic rock soundtrack to the brilliant ensemble cast, we talk about why this film holds the crown for the greatest cinematic hangout movie ever made. Even with it's 50 year old setting it still feels timeless today.To survive the hazing, climbing the moon tower, and Wooderson’s questionable philosophy, we are matching the film's patriotic time period with a beautiful piece of liquid history. We are drinking Narragansett Lager straight from their limited-edition USA 250th Anniversary cans! These stunning cans are a flawless reprint of 'Gansett's iconic 1976 Bicentennial Liberty Bell design for a double-shot of that 1976 aesthetic.Alright, alright, alright.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#DazedandConfused #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #Narragansett

"Oh, Rat Fart!" | Caddyshack
Jun 101:11:50Tap to summarizeThis week we grabbed our clubs and headed out to the back nine at Bushwood Country Club for a deep dive into the 1980 comedy masterpiece Caddyshack. A movie intended to be a teen comedy about the working class hijinks on the links that was hijacked by Murray, Chase and Dangerfield. In the process, and with the help of an animatronic gopher, they accidentally created a piece of film history.And what's a day on the fairway without a great beverage and we found the perfect one to pair with this golf classic in Gopher Golfin', a session IPA by Moeller Brew Barn. Wonderfully crisp, but sitting at a lower, "sessionable" ABV. It's clean, refreshing, and designed to keep your head clear whether you're playing 18 holes or trying to flush out a destructive varmint with plastic explosives. Hey, everybody, we're all gonna get laid!

"Send...More...Paramedics" | The Return of the Living Dead
May 2501:13:24Tap to summarizeThis week we are diving headfirst into a muddy graveyard of punk rock and practical effects with the 1985 horror-comedy masterpiece, The Return of the Living Dead. A groundbreaking zombie tale that drastically changed the undead creatures lore. These are some sentient, fast-moving ghouls that have been brought back by some shady military experiments hidden away in a warehouse basement in Kentucky.To survive the toxic military gas, we are cracking open a true local favorite, Dusty Bottoms, a pre-Prohibition style Kentucky Common style ale from Sawstone Brewing Co. (our local brewery). A style of beer that originates in Lousville, just like the outbreak of Trioxin zombies, and is comforting enough to help you survive the onslaught.You mean the movie lied?

"The person who handed you this card is under the care of a prescription puppet" | The Beaver
May 1801:07:03Tap to summarizeThis week we unpacked the fascinatingly weird 2011 film The Beaver, directed by Jodie Foster. A movie with a deceptive trailer that pulled us in with a wild premise and promises of absurd humor. Is it a bizarre dark comedy, a tragic look at mental health, or just Mel Gibson talking to his hand in a weird accent? To help us cope with the heavy themes and puppet-induced existential dread, we cracked open another perfect pairing in No Beavers Were Harmed, a luxurious Vanilla Bean Nitro Stout from the folks at our local brewery Sawstone Brewing Co. With hints of vanilla and a creamy nitro finish it is perfect for the film's wild highs and emotional lows.Please treat him as you normally would, but address yourself to the puppet.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - kentuckyfriedcritics@gmail.comPatreon - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#TheBeaver #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #NoBeaversWereHarmed
