S1 E31: "The Dukes of Hazzard" (#26) - with Steve Carlson!

My cine-masochist brethren Steve Carlson returns from our AMITYVILLE HORROR episode to discuss an even more disreputable entry on the project, Jay Chadrasekhar's adaptation of THE DUKES OF HAZZARD!

We get down and dirty discussing the mind-numbing plotting and popularity of the original show, the film's contemporary lineage of SUPER TROOPERS and JACKASS, its awkward handling of the show's Confederate iconography and a fascinating deep dive into Jay Chandrasekhar's memoirs recounting his attempts to wrangle mercurial childhood hero Burt Reynolds and studio interference regarding the casting of Jessica Simpson.

This movie is bad but this episode is VERY GOOD.
