On the show, Kevin announces the winners of the 2009 GAG Awards, and they both wish all their listeners a Happy Valentine’s Day.

Episode 102 – A Fat Guy Reunion of Sorts

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil finally returns to the Magical Studio in the Sky with stories from the land of milk and honey, otherwise known as the Sundance Film Festival. Kevin celebrates the return by berating him for only seeing one movie this week, although Neil defends himself because he saw 143 movies at the festival. They explore topics like Steve Martin filling Peter Sellers’ shoes, why Neil wants to buy Maggie Grace from an international slavery ring and how it seems the best scene this week featuring Dakota Fanning requires her to be drunk. And even though Kevin missed Neil greatly, he refuses to hug him without his shirt on, unlike those swishy pilots from the 80s classic Top Gun.

Films Reviewed this Week: Pink Panther 2, Coraline, Push and He’s Just Not That Into You.
