Smokey and the Bandit: “10-4, Good Buddy!”
#Hindsighters, Darth and Jason strive to provide you with
aberrant content on a weekly basis, and on this particular episode, they sure
didn’t disappoint. This week, they cruised back into the 70s
to discuss the lauded classic, Smokey
and the Bandit!
There really was something for everyone in this Godfather of
car chase films. Women swooned over Burt
Reynolds while men swooned over Sally
Field and the Pontiac
Trans Am.
Most importantly, EVERYONE swooned over Jerry Reed’s Eastbound and Down.
Please enjoy these purely gratuitous photos.
Smokey and the Bandit is truly a fun-filled
romp where your leading lady’s hair was always perfect, regardless of the
velocity of travel in the car or in the bedroom. The Bandit may have only
taken his hat off for one thing, but his team of hookers readily took off their
clothes to make sure their favorite outlaw made it back to Atlanta
on time.
It’s honestly difficult to imagine a movie that so stands
the test of time like Smokey and the
Bandit does. When Sterling
Archer holds a movie (along with everything else Burt Reynolds ever did)
to such a high standard, everyone else should fall in line. Subsequently, you
#Hindsighters shouldn’t be surprised that Smokey and the
Bandit wound up on the Seinfeld end of the most objective scale in the
world.
In all seriousness, Darth and Jason dare you to find another
movie where the director
was legendary enough to warrant his own toy set.
Dares notwithstanding, get excited, because Adam Brown
donned a fake mustache to join your favorite podcasters for this special movie
and his whopping 9th appearance on the show, leaving Katie trailing
behind just like Sheriff Buford T. Justice.
You might want to get your ears and your eyes on, good
buddies, ‘cause ol’ Smokey is bound to catch up to that badass
Trans Am. Crack open your legal Coors
beer, don your best mustache, and enjoy our latest episode!
