This week, Fletchcast takes ANOTHER deep dive into the sequel to Fletch... Fletch Lives. This is Part 2 of our search for something sweet...and southern. In this episode, we journey with Fletch as he learns of the local megachurch, Farnsworth Ministries, that is interested in obtaining his beloved Belle Isle. Laker Jim and the boys investigate "Mr Good News" himself, televangelist Jimmy Lee Farnsworth, and discovers the toxic chemicals in the soil of Belle Isle are traced back to Bly Bio, a chemical waste facility in Mississippi (or possibly the home town of Laker Jim, in Carteret, NJ). We talk Randall Tex Cobb, The Pat Sajak Show, the New/Future KFC Colonel, and so much more. Hang on to your Laker high-tops and get ready a Fletch Lives experience like no other. Try not to bend over.
