Episode 148 – The January Sewer
Fat Guys at the Movies is the official podcast of Film School Rejects
On This Week’s Show: As Neil prepares to go to the Sundance Film Festival next week, Kevin and he suffer through the January Sewer, which is the weeks of the new year that hold very little hope for quality films. The Fat Guys haven’t seen anything this week, due to non-screenings and late screenings, so they talk about the upcoming Spider-Man reboot. And Kevin tries to mix things up by convincing Neil that Mila Kunis was nominated for an Oscar. It all derails in the middle segment when they lay down their Fat Guy Five: The Nine Most Anticipated Movies of 2010.

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.
