On This Week’s Show: Neil hoses down the Magical Studio in the Sky with bodily fluids and testosterone after watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen not once, but twice. Kevin tries to keep a level head while suffering through a review of My Sister’s Keeper. There’s a minor Fat Guy smackdown as Neil tries to justify his stalker-ish excitement for all things Michael Bay, but eventually he agrees with Kevin with his Jurassic Park analogy. Then they serve up a Fat Guy Five about movies that assault the senses. Awesome!

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil say “Screw the new films!” and dive into a bed of controversy – Kevin for calling both Sarah Palin and David Letterman idiots and Neil for some racial comments we’re sure he’ll have to apologize for at some point. Oh, and they do talk a little bit about The Proposal and Year One. Later in the show, they unveil a Fat Guy Five about classic historical comedies, and Neil makes the case for Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb even though it was a contemporary comedy in the 60s. And the final answer has also been delivered as to whether Neil can do an effective Schwarzenegger impression.
Films Reviewed this Week:The Proposal and Year One.

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.
