Home Fry-ed Movies

 

Welcome to Home Fry-ed Movies, where we serve you the greasiest, high-fat, high-calorie movies around. Yes, these films have very low nutritional value. Sometimes they’re undercooked, and sometimes they’re overacted, but often they leave a great taste in your mouth. Comfort movies, you might call them.

 

Home Fry-ed Movies airs on UALR’s University Television (Channel 62 on Little Rock Comcast Cable and Channel 99 on AT&T U-Verse). Host Ben Fry will introduce each film with the “recipe” for that night – the “ingredients” that make that movie what it is. There’s a new episode on the last FRY-day of each month!

April/May’s feature is The Flying Deuces (1939), a Laurel & Hardy film, which leads “The Boys” from France where they’re vacationing, down to the River Seine, where Ollie threatens to commit suicide because the innkeeper’s daughter has spurned him, and then on to somewhere in Northern Africa to join the French Foreign Legion “to forget.” It’s a bit of fun from one of Hollywood’s greatest comedy teams.
