Posted on August 25, 2011

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin invites Marco Cerritos into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the new movies and swear all over the radio segments. Of course, when it comes time for the middle segment, Kevin unloads on the profanity as they talk urban dictionary slang for sex acts, road rage and eventually finish out the show with a look into Jodie Foster’s Beaver (yeah, that joke never gets old). They also talk about the new movies Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Our Idiot Brother and Colombiana before laying down a Fat Guy Five about some loveable movie idiots.

Vampire-Hunter Kit from ‘Fright Night’

Posted on August 19, 2011

Apparently the good folks at Touchstone Pictures and DreamWorks think I might be living next door to a vampire. That’s why they hooked me up with some nifty vampire-hunting items. Fans of both the original Fright Night and its remake that hits theaters today will recognize some useful items here.

Episode 226 – Singing Purple Monkeys in 3D

Posted on August 18, 2011

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin gets ready to take on the onslaught of 3D movies this weekend with the help of Emily from Gleekcast, who is fresh off of seeing the Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. (See… someone paid to see it this past week.) They ramble through a variety of topics, including gambling in Vegas, British accents and the great 80s conflict of Star Wars versus The SuperFriends. They also manage to talk about all the new movies this week, lay down a Fat Guy Five about great vampire hunters and suggest some awesome (and not-so-awesome) DVDs and Blu-rays.

A Very Special Episode

Posted on August 17, 2011

In this very super special “special episode”: On the weekend of August 6, Kevin and Merrill made a trek to New York City where they joined forces with FozzieBare from The Podcast Podcast. What resulted was the Late-Night Chat Room, a live talk show in the city that never sleeps. Prior to the Late-Night Chat Room, Kevin and Merrill sat down, face-to-face for the first time in the history of the universe, to chat about how the event came to being and what it was like to meet each other. And believe it or not, no one was strangled in the process… yet.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 38

Posted on August 15, 2011

In this very special episode: Kevin begins the show in his fall-back position… he snacks loudly while Merrill tries to talk about television. The sugar wafers call him throughout the episode, and he becomes more and more hungry in spite of snacking. The Idiots talk about what rocked on television and when certain shows are in danger of jumping the shark. Then they break down a list of TV news, including some juicy coverage of renewal and cancellation tidbits. Then, it’s on to what sucked before sounding off about new ratings and reality TV. Finally, the show wraps up with DVDs and a barbaric recommendation.

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: After taking a week off to perform in the Late Night Chat Room with FozzieBare, Kevin returns to the Magical Studio in the Sky. This week, he invites Tim Buel from The Golden Briefcase to join him in his examination of this week’s movies. They talk about who mows Emma Stone and Viola Davis’ lawns, the hipocricy of Glee as well as whether Final Destination 5 might find an audience and if 30 Minutes or Less is too mean-spirited. Then in the middle segment, they go full Cage and discuss box office, apes and favorite heist movies.
