I watched the sexy Col. Sanders movie!
Dec. 17th, 2020 10:08 pmTIL that "A Recipe for Seduction", the KFC/Lifetime joint movie, is only 16 minutes long and streaming on YouTube. TBH, I'm not surprised by the length. The trailer felt like a complete movie in and of itself.
Anyway, now that I know where to find it, obvs. I need to watch it and pseudo-liveblog my thoughts.
My husband's reaction to my telling him my plan to watch it: At this time of night?
Me: It's 16 minutes long.
Him: It'll make you hungry, and KFC is closed.
Me: That's really your top reaction to my telling you that I'm going to watch the sexy Colonel Sanders movie?
16 seconds in: Oh shit, this really is food porn.
So this is like a telenovela? Or is this what Lifetime movies are always like? I haven't watched a Lifetime movie in years.
1:37 - I'm confused about the Black guy with glasses. Is he the Token Gay Friend, or is he dating the woman sitting next to him?
2:38, Mario Lopez bringing the ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* dimples *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧, swoon!
2:45 and I'm already confused. If they're in piles of debt and weeks away from the banks repossessing their house (yeah, I rewound to get that line right), then how/why did they hire the head chef from an exclusive French restaurant? Also, what French restaurant serves Kentucky-style fried chicken?
2:55 - Nice eye flirting. I approve.
4:27 - Douchebag Preppy's sweater-tied-around-the-neck's sleeves are way too long. Like, weirdly long. Has anyone ever worn their sweater tied around their neck that long? I lived through the 1980s and I don't ever remember anyone wearing their sweater so glaringly wrong.
Oh, please tell me Mario Lopez will call whatshisname "Preppy" at least once. Please!
4:40 - "Beat it, crouton," lmaooooooooo, lololololol! Obvious Villain Archetype is growing on me! Also, someone in the wardrobe department appears to have fixed the absurd sweater sleeves situation.
4:57 - "Don't call me crouton." IT GETS BETTER!
5:10 - I called it, Token Gay Friend.
6:04 - "What should I do, should I leave Billy for Harland?" I mean, your boyfriend's clearly an asshole and you clearly don't like him, plus he's giving off "abusive villain in a Lifetime movie" vibes so I'd go with yes, leave him but why jump immediately into a relationship with another dude you literally just met that morning? I mean, aside from the fact that it's the entire plot of this 16-minute movie.
Also, is Token Gay Friend about to get axe-murdered? Why do I have a feeling like Token Gay Friend is about to get axe-murdered?
6:49 - Nope, the sweater sleeves are fugged up again. Is this A Look I'm unaware of? Or is it just visual shorthand for "even douchier than most douches"?
7:21 - Day drinking is not a good look for you, Weird Sleeves Douche.
7:34 - I get it, Colonel Sanders has a secret recipe. How many times can you say "secret recipe" in 16 minutes?
7:39 - At least one more time, apparently.
( Spoilers )
Overall, it was not bad? But not great either? I'd say watch it for the experience and because it's short. The best parts were:

- Food porn
- It's short
- Dimples
- Surprisingly entertaining one-liners from Douchey McBadSweater
