On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin are very tired. It’s been a long week of movies, and not too many of them were very good. They stagger through the early reviews, then the claws come out for Disaster Movie, the most accurately named film of the year. If only Peter Dinklage were in it, it might have been better than Postal.
Films Reviewed this Week: College, Disaster Movie, Babylon A.D. and Traitor.
