In this hilarious episode of Almost Classic Movies, Jern and Dern return to their roots by diving into the absurd and endlessly quotable world of Hot Rod (2007), a cult favorite produced by Lorne Michaels and starring Andy Samberg, Isla Fisher, Bill Hader, and Danny McBride.
🔥 From mopeds in pools to Footloose rage dances in the forest, Jon and Donald unpack every chaotic scene—from amateur stunt fundraising to green tea-fueled tantrums. Along the way, they break down Hot Rod's signature Lonely Island-style sketches, iconic physical comedy, and why it might be one of the most bizarre yet beloved comedies of its era.
