On This Week’s Show: Neil leads a protest against the studios by refusing to see any of the movies out this week. Kevin suffers through The Soloist while he takes his kids to work (i.e., gets them out of school to see a movie) on Take Your Child to Work Day. Liam and Ben Carr join their dad in the second segment to review Earth and a bunch of kids’ DVDs. Neil comes back to talk about the movies we weren’t allowed to see, and the Fat Guys threaten to get their knuckles bloody over whether Crank: High Voltage was a good movie or not.
Films Reviewed this Week: The Soloist, Earth, Obsessed and Fighting.
