Episode 151 – From Paris With Fat
Fat Guys at the Movies is the official podcast of Film School Rejects
On This Week’s Show: Neil has finished his gallivanting, and he makes his triumphant return to the Magical Studio in the Sky, only to promptly put his foot in his mouth by comparing the harrowing days of the Sundance Film Festival to the war in Afghanistan. Kevin quickly saves the day by calling shenanigans on John Travolta for adopting his super-cool badass look, then puts his own foot in his mouth by suggesting that Kathryn Bigelow will win the Oscar because she’s a woman. Get ready to be offended, folks! The Fat Guys are back in action. (And by “action,” we mean “sitting their fat asses on the couch.”)

Episode 150 – The Edge of Fatness
Fat Guys at the Movies is the official podcast of Film School Rejects
On This Week’s Show: Neil is still off gallivanting at Sundance TwentyTen, so Kevin welcomes Merrill Barr from The Film Stage to the Magical Studio in the Sky. Surprise, surprise: Merrill has seen more movies than Neil normally does, and together he and Kevin discuss Edge of Darkness and When In Rome. The discussion inexplicably turns to relevant film issues like the development of 3D, the branching technology of Blu-rays and how much Merrill doesn’t like romantic comedies or Mel Gibson as a director.

Kevin Carr crawled from the primordial ooze in the 1970s. He grew up watching movies to the point of irritation for his friends. He was a font of useless movie knowledge until he decided to put that knowledge to good use. He is now a professional film critic read worldwide, much to the chagrin of Michael Bay.
