Episode 102: The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977)

from The Test of Time · host Alan Noah and James Brief

Before Animal House and The Blues Brothers, John Landis directed the 1977 independent comedy, The Kentucky Fried Movie. As we chat about a flick that's filled with wordplay and gratuitous nudity, James gets sepia confused with black and white, Alan reveals what he would name his first studio album, and we both admit that we know nothing about Leave it to Beaver. We draw parallels between this film and Saturday Night Live, The Onion, "Weird Al" Yankovic, Die Hard with a Vengeance (?), and Citizen Kane (??) before deciding if The Kentucky Fried Movie stands the Test of Time.
