Episode 90 – Fatagascar: Fat 2 Africa

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil reconnect in the Virtual Studio in the Sky. Neil insists it’s still magic while Kevin revels in the fact he can do the show in his underwear. Because Soul Men wasn’t screened for them, they spend their review time bidding adieu to Bernie Mac, who is in two new releases this week. Neil gives us his inaugural “Fat Guy Five” list, featuring his favorite CGI movies while Kevin attempts to derail him with the comedy antics of American History X.

Films Reviewed this Week: Madagascar: Back 2 Africa, Role Models and Soul Men.
