No, Brendan Fraser isn't in this one.  And no, Kurt Russell isn't in it either.  So it must be a pretty great movie if neither of those dudes are needed to buoy it up.  And hey!  What do you know?  It's just one of the greatest film classics of all time: Steven Spielberg's love letter to alien life, E.T. The Extra Terrestrial!  This is the incredible story of a boy named Elliott and his deep connection to an alien being that has accidentally been left behind by their spaceship.  This movie was such a phenomenon that it singlehandedly made Reese's Pieces a popular candy and Drew Barrymore a household name.  So much of this movie has permeated popular culture: E.T. phone home, the bike flying past the moon, the glowing fingertip.  But ask yourself this question...when was the last time you actually watched E.T. from beginning to end?  This was the question our hosts had to ask themselves...and then answer by watching and discussing it on this week's show.  So join us and find out...does E.T. live up to all the hype?  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

We took to the streets again this week, and by "the streets" I mean Twitter, to ask the people which Brendan Fraser movie they wanted us to discuss next.  The people have spoken...and the people want Encino Man!  Sean Astin plays Dave, a typical 90s high school loser who just wants the girl he likes to notice him.  When he and his hippie buddy, Stoney (Pauly Shore) accidentally dig up a frozen caveman in Dave's backyard, Dave thinks they are one defrosting away from high school fame.  They pass the caveman (Brendan Fraser) off as an exchange student and this sexy missing link becomes the most popular dude in school overnight.  But when the object of Dave's affection decides she would rather go to the prom with the caveman than Dave, the whole plan starts to unravel!  Both Dan and Chrysten remember liking this as kids...but will Brendan Fraser's charm be lost on our hosts?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

Oh man...remember Brendan Fraser?  Remember what a babe he used to be?  Well, you can relive those glory days with us this week as your KYD hosts watch Airheads, starring Brendan Fraser, Adam Sandler, Steve Buscemi and so many more recognizable faces!  (Seriously, the supporting cast features Michael McKean, Joe Mantegna, Chris Farley, Michael Richards, Judd Nelson, Ernie Hudson and David Arquette!  Whoa!)  All the LA based metal band, The Lone Rangers, want is to get their demo played on the air so that they can get exposure and sign a record deal.  Together they hatch a plan to hold a local radio station hostage with plastic guns loaded with pepper spray until their song gets played!  But when the cops show up, things get a little out of hand and the band winds up getting more than they bargained for!  This was one of those movies that always seemed to be on TV, and both of our hosts remember loving it.  Will it hold up over time, unlike the careers of most of its stars?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!

How's it going, righteous darlings?  Are you ready for a bodacious episode of KYD?  EXCELLENT!  This week we take a trip to the left coast and hang with those two most excellent of California bros, Bill S. Preston, Esquire and Ted "Theodore" Logan in the 1989 time travel classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure!  All these two high school buds want to do is start a band, but when their history teacher tells them they are dangerously close to flunking, Ted's dad threatens to send Ted to military school breaking the band up forever!  When Rufus (George Carlin), a dude from the future, lands in San Dimas and offers to lend them a time traveling phone booth so that they can ace their history report hilarity ensues!  Featuring charming performances by Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves as Bill and Ted, respectively, this movie carved a place in the childhood hearts of our hosts.  But will they feel as righteously awesome about Bill & Ted this time around?  Join us and find out!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE, dudes!
