Hey everybody, I recently re-listened to the episode on From Justin to Kelly, and hopped on IMDB and Wikipedia for a bit of additional research. There are 2 things I wanted to bring up I felt people would enjoy. Firstly, Justin Guarini's career is absolutely flourishing. You may have seen him recently as Lil' Sweet from the Doctor Pepper commercials. Yes, that is in fact Kelly's own Justin Secondly, in the spirit of Second Opinions, this unedited review from IMDB user ekudamram My wife rented this video from the bait shop next to the motel. She said, "most of the videos were porn - flicks, and "Justin to Kelly" was the only thing the store had that looked good". Chick - flick, or porn? A ... I would have chose "Just Doin Kelly" instead I think. Anyway I've been wondering for years where Harley dropped that chick hitchhiker off. I had been meaning to find out. Proves the old saying is true that "they will let anyone become a cop." Glad to check that one off of my bucket list. Oh yea, what did I think of the movie? I must have dozed off after the "officer Cutter" scene. Though I liked "Harley Davidson & the Marlboro Man"; seen it many times on satellite in 25 years as a matter of fact. Furthermore Tom Sizemore, Alec, Billy, and Daniel's big brother were actually plausible villains in that Don Johnson / Mickey Rourke likewise plausible "reluctant, but worthy tandem heroes" flick. Moreover HD & the MM is a hell of a lot better movie than this J to K stinker; I seen enough of the latter to rate it a 3 rather than 1 because to be fair I failed at staying awake; so that much I can tell you. Otherwise i'll have to ask my wife, and get back to you for a "Justin to Kelly" review. Better yet don't even waist your time just checkout the aforementioned Johnson, Rourke, Sizemore, and Baldwin flick instead. Or porn; heck any porn rates at least a 5 by default. Anyways, hope I didn't in any way spoil anybody's lifelong "Carmen Sandiego" / "Waldo" hunting - sojourn for nameless "femmes of the silver - screen." ." Hope you enjoyed this post!

A brief omission from the FROM JUSTIN TO KELLY episode - None of you mentioned that Anika Noni Rose (who played "The Black Friend") has gone on to have a very successful career in film and on stage. She was one of the leads in DREAMGIRLS (the one who wasn't Beyonce or Jennifer Hudson) and she did the voice of Tiana (the lead) in THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG. She also won a Tony in 2004 (the year after FJTK) for a supporting role in CAROLINE, OR CHANGE and was in COMPANY with Neil Patrick Harris. I actually thought she was okay in the movie, given the material. I think "okay" is as good as anyone could hope for, honestly.

at the part where she says "shave your head everywhere except here and here". if he were to do that, then the hair that's left would be in the same place as a devil's horns. basically, she's calling Justin the devil so another "joke" that makes as much sense as when she tells him "people call me Kelly for short"

The fact that this song in particular was not even touched upon upset me. Yeah, every other song is bad, they are unoriginal and bland, but if there was ever a song that warranted the resurrection of the Razzie's Worst Original Song Category, it would be Baby Paris Hilton's number:

I'm not sure where to post this, but at one point Carlos takes Kaya to an inconspicuous dock, they walk into an unmarked building and inside is a SECRET LATINO DANCE CLUB in order to loosen Kaya up. This also happens in Along Came Polly, Celeste and Jesse Forever, and Dirty Dancing. My question is: Secret Latino Dance Club: thing? or not a thing?
