Show Notes
Every once in a while we take a break from Hazzard County and revisit another piece of automotive pop culture, and this week we're looking back at one of the most quotable comedy films ever made—Wayne's World. Mike Myers and Dana Carvey turned a popular Saturday Night Live sketch into a movie that defined the early '90s while giving us unforgettable characters, classic rock, and one of the most recognizable movie cars of the decade.
We discuss why the flame-painted AMC Pacer became an icon, how Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" found a whole new generation of fans because of the film, and why Wayne's World still works more than thirty years later. Along the way, we revisit memorable scenes, behind-the-scenes trivia, the 1966 Pontiac GTO driven by Benjamin Kane, and the pop culture moments that made this comedy a lasting classic.
Party on! 🤘

Welcome back to Hazzard County—and happy 66th birthday to Producer Bernie McPartland! It’s the perfect automotive birthday for a guy whose favorite Chevelle is a ’66. We celebrate with repurposed birthday decorations, questionable snack cakes, embarrassing pictures, and birthday messages from friends including Clay Millican and Mike Finnegan. Bernie even gets a trivia game built around himself. Surely he can win that one!
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week we’re reviewing The Dukes of Hazzard Season 2, Episode 8, “Hazzard Connection,” and this one is exactly why I love Season 2. Real driving, hard hits, wonderfully sloppy production details, and a plot where stolen racing engines are apparently the criminal currency of choice. What more could you want?
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we start with Cale Yarborough’s famous fight after the 1979 Daytona 500 and a more recent NASCAR confrontation. That leads us into a conversation about racing, the headlines it makes, and how a new generation of drivers builds an audience through video.
Mike Finnegan sent us something that none of us had ever seen—or even heard of—before: a forgotten 1983 television adaptation of Six Pack. Intended as a pilot for a weekly series based on the Kenny Rogers movie, it starred a pre-Miami Vice Don Johnson as race car driver Brewster Baker. Markie Post, Jennifer Runyon, Billy Warlock, and a very young Joaquin Phoenix rounded out a surprisingly recognizable cast.
Welcome back to Hazzard County! This week, we confirm that Days of Thunder 2 is officially moving forward and discuss whether Tom Cruise can convincingly put Cole Trickle back behind the wheel of a NASCAR Cup car. We also share an update on our uncertain Moparty plans, the people representing K&F at the event, and why my General Lee will probably remain safely at home.
