Listen to the last episode:
You won’t find this forgotten 80s Flick archived in the Smithsonian or on any list of Oscar-winning films. However, for thousands, maybe even millions, of Americans who grew up in the 1980s, it still holds a significant place in their cultural memory. It may be where they learned to curse, learned about love, and were introduced to the charm of country music superstar, Kenny Rogers.
The premise may seem absurd in hindsight. A washed-up race car driver, looking for a second chance, catches some kids stealing auto parts in a small Texas town. After giving chase, he discovers they are orphans who are better at repairing race cars than staying out of trouble. A corrupt local sheriff then pursues Kenny and the kids, leading to a healthy mix of humor and drama.
So load up the camper, turn down your belt-buckle radio, and shake the dew off your Lilly as Tim Williams and guest co-hosts Chris Adams and Ben Carpenter discuss “Six Pack” from 1982 on this special bonus episode of the 80s Flick Flashback Podcast.
