On This Week’s Show: We are re-joined by our good friend Kristin Dreyer Kramer of NightsAndWeekends.com, who brings snacks along to keep Kevin occupied. This way, she is able to get a word in when we discuss a few of the year’s Oscar contenders. We also talk about some Oscar wannabe’s with our weekly Top Ten list: The Ten Worst Oscar Bait Movies of 2007. On top of all that, we start a rumor that Tara Reid will star opposite Christian Bale in McG’s Terminator flick and we announce another awesome caption contest! Get your pencils ready class, it’s time to take notes.
Films Reviewed this Week: Juno, Margot at the Wedding, Into the Wild, Awake and Lust, Caution.

On This Week’s Show: We are joined by our good friend David Medsker from Bullz-Eye.com. He helps us break down this week’s rollercoaster ride of new releases, including a Disney flick that is looking to “take on” the box office, a Stephen King adaptation with a wicked ending and another video game movie with a very inconspicuous leading man. We also run down our list of the Ten Hottest Trashy Chicks in Movie History and talk (at great length) about various offensive topics. Never to be underestimated for our shameless pursuit of food, this is Fat Guys at the Movies — and this is our Thanksgiving Feast!
Films Reviewed this Week: Hitman, The Mist, Enchanted and August Rush.
