Fans of the wacky but beloved Barbie & Kendra franchise, brace yourselves! Full Moon Features is turning the spotlight on your favorite series all this week and you definitely don't want to miss it.
Starting off the party is the film that thrust this quarantine-based franchise into the limelight: Barbie & Kendra Meet the Corona Zombies. It's a quirky mix of Italian zombie movie parody and all-out Full Moon craziness, proving that even in the midst of a global pandemic, laughter can still be found.
Shifting gears, the next film in the series, Barbie & Kendra Save the Tiger King, offers a lighter take on the lockdown gloom. The second installment spins a hilarious tale of the duo trapped in quarantine, scheming to save the flamboyant Tiger King from the clutches of Carole Baskin – all without leaving their living room!
The whimsy doesn't stop there. Barbie & Kendra Storm Area 51 takes viewers on a viral saga deep into the forbidden fortress of Area 51. With cleverly re-dubbed retro sci-fi footage and copious amounts of humor, this third film in the series takes comedy to new, extraterrestrial heights.
This Friday, the spotlight shifts to the latest in the series: Barbie & Kendra Crash Joe Bob's Drive-In Jamboree. This time, our comical duo sets off to Vegas to save an outdoor theatre from being turned into a golf course. After surviving Corona Zombies, saving the Tiger King, and storming Area 51, can they pull off another mission while juggling their crushes and their love for movies? To find the answer, you'll have to tune in this summer!
Adding to the zany ensemble are renowned movie host Joe Bob Briggs, Diana Prince (a.k.a. Darcy the Mail Girl), Dave Sheridan (Scary Movie) and Felissa Rose from Sleepaway Camp, donning the role of Stu Dio. The franchise's use of stock footage, playfully dubbed over to create new narratives, continues in this film with the 1977 Exorcist knock-off Ruby getting a new lease of life.
Full Moon has struck comic gold with the Barbie & Kendra series that thrived amid a global pandemic. Their approach of rehashing classic movie footage and dubbing it with sarcasm and slapstick has definitely found a dedicated audience. So, if you're a fan, clear your calendar this week for a Barbie & Kendra marathon. And if you're new to this bizarre universe, buckle up for a hilarious ride!
