We’re kicking off Season 4 with a proper tribute to the legendary Dolly Parton! Join us as we rewatch the 1989 emotionally charged classic Steel Magnolias. We take a trip back to Chinquapin Parish to revisit the tears, laughter, and remarkable hair. Is it an ensemble masterpiece or too depressing for repeat viewing? Join your favorite drunken critics as they tackle these questions and more.And to match the occasion, we found the perfect liquid companion, pairing Southern heartbreak and beauty shop gossip with an ice-cold, high-gravity Steel Reserve. Will 24 oz of malt liquor, coming in at a very potent 8.1%, help soften the emotional blows or have them hitting much harder? And does it pair well with armadillo cake.....?Remember what Daddy always says, "An ounce of pretension is worth a pound of manure!"Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#SteelMagnolias #DollyParton #SteelReserve #MovieReviewPodcast #BeerPairing

This week on the podcast we are closing out the season with the ultimate self-aware, early-2000s fever dream that is Pauly Shore Is Dead. That's right it's officially our season finale and we figured what better way to close it out than with the last of the Pauly Shore Cinematic Universe (or the PSCU for those that know). Directed, written by, and starring Pauly Shore himself, this mockumentary is packed with an absurd amount of celebrity cameos.We may have taken the ultimate pass this week, but we've got a lot going on and it's the end of the season, so we thought we could get away with it. Not saying we didn't drink, we had ourselves a few stiff drinks before we got started, I mean we are your favorite drunken duo after all. So get your own favorite drink and join us for this hysterical underrated good time.Don't worry, no Pauly Shore's were harmed in the making of this episode.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#PaulyShoreisDead #Mockumentary #MovieReview #Podcast #SeasonFinale

This week on the podcast we’re stepping into the glorious, low quality chaos of 1992’s TV movie extravaganza, Ring of the Musketeers! Join us as we break down David Hasselhoff and Cheech Marin leading a band of modern-day Musketeers riding motorcycles through Los Angeles. Does it hold up as a forgotten cult classic, or should it have stayed locked in the vault?To complement our high-stakes silliness, we’re sipping on Something Witty, a refreshingly light Belgian Witbier brewed with citrusy orange peels by Sawstone Brewing Company. Its smooth, bright flavor profile provides the perfect palate cleanser after a heavy dose of over the top Hoff action.All for one and one for all!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#RingoftheMusketeers #MovieReview #BeerPairing #SawstoneBrewing #SomethingWitty

This week, we’re revisiting the ultimate childhood wish fulfillment fantasy, Blank Check! Join us as we dissect Preston Waters’ unhinged spending spree, question the intelligence of adults, and the dangers of an office water slide. Most importantly we ask each other "What WOULD you do with a million dollars as an 11-year-old?" and how long that money would have lasted. To match our high-roller dreams on a sensible budget, we’re sipping on Piggy Bank Light, a crisp, ultra-refreshing pilsner from Fifty West Brewing. It might be light on the ABV but the clean taste and drinkability will have you throwing them back like you're a millionaire. Regular sized bills will be just fine!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#BlankCheck #MovieReview #BeerPairing #FiftyWestBrewing #PiggyBankLight

This week we took a 3 hour tour (not really) of the 1978 made-for-TV reunion movie Rescue from Gilligan's Island. The Castaways finally get off the island, but that's just where the chaos starts! From Russian spies to makeshift bamboo tech with a little help from space, we break down all the cheesy 70s nostalgia. And to help us navigate the madcap journey home, we found a pairing that even Gilligan's couldn't screw up in Gilligan's Red Ale from West Side Brewing. It's a rich, malty Irish-style Red Ale with smooth caramel notes that makes getting shipwrecked with a 6-pack almost sound appealing.GILLIGAN!!!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#GilligansIsland #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #WestSideBrewing

This week on the podcast we revisited the 1990 creepy crawly creature classic Arachnophobia. We break down how this movie gave an entire generation an irrational fear of household objects and what could be hiding inside.  These practical effects and creepy killer spider story are possibly where Shane's own fear of spiders originated.And we found the perfect pair to all the eight-legged chaos in Original Sin's Black Widow Cider. Crafted with freshly pressed New York apples and blackberry this dark, tart and crisp pour is the ultimate companion for a night of battling off arachnids. It's got a bold dark color that's just as deep and intoxicating as it's bite.The itsy-bitsy spider crawled up the water spout.Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#Arachnophobia #MovieReview #Podcast #OriginalSin #BlackWidow

Put on your seatbelts and lock up the neighborhood cats because this week we're taking a trip back to 1993 for the sci-fi/horror/creature feature Man’s Best Friend!Max is just your run of the mill dog spliced with DNA from cheetahs, bears, and... chameleons. Once his sedatives wear off, the body count starts rising in this absolute beast of a B-movie.To survive the carnage, we needed a beer with a bite equally fierce. Enter Hellhound IPA from our local brewery Sawstone Brewing Co.. A bold, resinous West Coast IPA boasting a 7.6% ABV, a sturdy malt backbone, and a heavy dose of piney, bitter hops. With enough flavor to match anything that Max 3000 could throw at us we knew we found the perfect pairing.He's not your typical dog!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#MansBestFriend #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #Hellhound

This week, we're lacing up our boots and taking a trip back to 1993 for the beloved Disney sports classic, Cool Runnings. So get ready to push off from the starting line as we dive into the true-ish story of the first Jamaican Bobsled Team, John Candy’s iconic performance, and why this movie’s heart still hits gold over 30 years later.To stay cool under pressure, we’re pairing this winter classic with a tropical torch of a craft beer, It's Not the Heat, It's the Humidity a Mango Habanero IPA from Sawstone Brewing Co. Expect sweet tropical fruit up front with a little tingle that’ll make you feel like you’re soaking up the sun in Jamaica instead of freezing in Calgary.COOOL RUNNNNINGS!Instagram - @kentuckyfriedcriticsFacebook - www.facebook.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsYouTube - www.youtube.com/@kfcriticsE-mail - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#CoolRunnings #MovieReview #Podcast #BeerPairing #ItsNotTheHeatItsTheHumidity

This 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 - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#RocketMan #MovieReview #BeerPairing #VoodooRanger #GForce

This 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 - [email protected] - patreon.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsKo-Fi (to buy us a beer) - ko-fi.com/kentuckyfriedcriticsMerch - bonfire.com/store/kentucky-fried-critics#ForrestGump #MovieReview #Podcast #FlamingDrPepper #DrinkPairing
