As “Where Were You in ‘82” continues, the gang pays a visit to the Chicken Ranch to see Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds sneakin’ around and singin’ up a storm in the delightful little ole piss ant musical, The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas.

Imagine…travelling back to a time before the Internet…before Mountain Dew Livewire…and before the neo-post apocalypse…

This Summer, Apocalypse Video asks the question: Where Were You In ‘82?

The date is July 23rd, 1982. The Human League's "Don't You Want Me?" has lost the title of #1 to returning champ, Survivor, and their rockin' workout anthem, Eye of the Tiger; and a delightfully naughty musical from Tennessee favorite Dolly Parton is about to steam up the silver screen with her enormous.... musical talent.

The film...is The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And it's open for business…now!

I’m your host, Dave, and joining me as we do a little sneakin’ around are fellow cinephiles and Chicken Ranch regulars, Mike, Jackie, and Ryan.

Topics of discussion in this episode include the tumultuous drama behind the making of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas; we break down the all too relevant character of Melvin P. Thorpe; and finally, Ryan guides us through the delightful wonderland that is Dollywood.

And as Dolly and Burt ride off into the sunset, we too must pack up and hit the road. When we return, we’ll be strapping on our backpacks and heading back to school as we watch the Amy Heckerling classic, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Cya then, folks! Ya’ll come back and listen to us again now, ya hear?!
