Fletch Lives (Part 2)

Send us Fan MailThis week, Fletchcast takes ANOTHER deep dive into the sequel to Fletch... Fletch Lives. This is Part 2 of our search for something sweet...and southern.  In this episode, we journey with Fletch as he learns of the local megachurch, Farnsworth Ministries, that is interested in obtaining his beloved Belle Isle. Laker Jim and the boys investigate "Mr Good News" himself, televangelist Jimmy Lee Farnsworth, and discovers the toxic chemicals in the soil of Belle Isle are traced back to Bly Bio, a chemical waste facility in Mississippi (or possibly the home town of Laker Jim, in Carteret, NJ). We talk Randall Tex Cobb, The Pat Sajak Show,  the New/Future KFC Colonel, and so much more. Hang on to your Laker high-tops and get ready a Fletch Lives experience like no other. Try not to bend over. 0:00 - intro1:52 - Big Bob starts with Kakakas Bros4:56 - Farnsworth Ministries10:00 - Fletcher vs Farnsworth 11:30 - a look BibleLand 14:30 - Becky’s Jacket14:51 - Jake Talks Fletch Lives in books17:30 - Local Cop 19:29 - Filming Locations20:00 - Bly Bio Chem (LA to NJ)23:02 - Peter Lemonjello & Claud28:04 - Ham Johnson29:18 - Mr Coco30:00 - Calculus 32:42 - Fletch Lives Client Plot34:29 - Colonel Sanders KFC36:30 - Back To LA, Fletch’s Love Life40:58 - Michael Ritchie in Lives42:00 - Wheel of Fortune/Pat Sajak Show46:15 - Becky/Amanda Ray Fun Fact46:45 - Ben Dover/Larry Holmes Easter Egg49:10 - Siskel and Ebert on Fletch Lives54:15 - Fletch Lives Cult Status57:00 - Funny Farm 58:40 - Final Fletch Lives ThoughtsFLETCHCAST VOICEMAIL HOTLINELeave us a voicemail with a comment or question: (267) 714-6799 - the voicemail is open & available 24/7FletchCast is Your Ultimate source for everything Fletch: the books, the movies, & the latest news about our favorite journalistic reporter, Irwin M.
