A Recipe for Seduction is the name of the newest Lifetime Original Mini-Movie, premiering this Sunday at Noon, and it's about a lurid affair involving the Colonel himself, Harland Sanders, as played by Mario Lopez.
Lifetime announced the team up with KFC Monday morning on Twitter which included the amazing poster for the parody movie.
Upon seeing this come into my social media feed I only had one thought: Is there a trailer?
Yes, there is:

It's over the top, it's beyond cheesy, it's a parody of the typical lifetime movie. And if I can say it, it's finger-licking good.
The marketing team at KFC has a strategy and that strategy seems to be: "Name the weirdest thing you can think of and we'll do that!"
KFC in recent years has become known for their weird and over-the-top commercials with a rotating cast of Colonel Sanders including Jim Gaffigan, Norm MacDonald, Reba McEntire, Rob Lowe, Jason Alexander, and now Mario Lopez.
The Lifetime mini-movie is a paid promotion for KFC and it is definitely the weirdest of all KFC promotions so far. And this includes the guy who thought he ate the bones.
