Welcome back to Scene It All! This week, the crew is diving into a campy, Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds classic... The Best Chicken Coop in Texas! 🐔 (You know exactly what movie we actually mean, but we’re changing the title so the algorithm doesn't come for us! 🤫).
We are breaking down all the wild fun facts behind this movie that completely blew our minds. Did you know Burt Reynolds literally got a double hernia from lifting Dolly? Or that the real-life "chicken coop" actually accepted poultry as payment during the Great Depression?
From Melvin P. Thorpe getting his wig ripped off on live TV, to Juan's very valid questions about the lack of Latino representation in a Texas brothel, to the Texas A&M football team's unforgettable dance number—we cover it all.
Drop a comment down below: Who do you think stole the movie? Was it Melvin P. Thorpe, the governor doing his little side-step, or the football team? 👇
