I thought &#8220;Hey, I remember that being funny- I&#8217;ll watch it!&#8221; It does not hold up. Most of the jokes are only funny if you don&#8217;t already know them, and there was so much cheeseball nudity that I kept hiding my screen in case my spouse woke up and thought I was watching seventies porn.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s also very much made for people who watched movies and TV in the seventies. I&#8217;m guessing most people under thirty would have no idea that a huge chunk of the movie is a direct parody of Enter the Dragon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is not a great parody poster, but it&#8217;s a better parody poster than this movie deserves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-kentucky-fried-movie-1-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A poster for The Kentucky Fried Movie that parodies the poster for Lost in Translation.\" class=\"wp-image-2672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-kentucky-fried-movie-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-kentucky-fried-movie-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-kentucky-fried-movie-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/the-kentucky-fried-movie-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse.jpg\" alt=\"Three Spider-Men pointing at each other in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse\" class=\"wp-image-2668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-300x38.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-768x96.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"825\" height=\"519\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-1.jpg\" alt=\"Spider-Man and Spider-Woman in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse\" class=\"wp-image-2670\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-1.jpg 825w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-1-300x189.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-1-768x483.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 825px) 100vw, 825px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My students finished testing early, so we had an hour and a half to fill.
