Episode 107 – Race to the Fat House on the Left

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil admits to slacking on his movie-watching duties, but Kevin gives him a pass because there’s a lot of prep to be done for the SXSW Film Festival in Neil’s adopted home-town of Austin, TX. Kevin also brags about the fact that he finally broke down to the Apple cult and bought an iPhone. The Fat Guys talk about nudity (or some lack thereof) in the new film Miss March, how much Neil is a pansy for never seeing the original Last House on the Left and why Kevin convinces Neil that Race to Witch Mountain is something he might like. Also, bonus interview cuts in the third segment with Miss March directors/writers/co-stars Zach Cregger and Trevor Moore. Kevin asks the tough questions no one else does.

Films Reviewed this Week: Race to Witch Mountain, Last House on the Left and Miss March.

The "Disney View" of "Pinocchio"

Posted on



pinocchiodvdLegendary Disney artist Toby Bluth explains the process of “Disney View,” which enhances the BluRay experience of the 70th Anniversary Platinum Edition of “Pinocchio.”

BY KEVIN CARR

Over the years, the Walt Disney Company has treasured its classic animated films, bringing them out of the vault periodically for limited releases on home video. Once digital home entertainment took hold with the public, Disney has given its most revered films for releases in Platinum Editions, which feature multi-disc releases and restored footage and sound, plus plenty of bonus features.

Now that the BluRay hi-def format is widely available, Disney is moving their Platinum releases to this new superior format. The most recent Platinum Edition is the 1940 classic “Pinocchio,” which is getting a 70th anniversary release on March 10, 2009.

Episode 106 – Who Watches the Fatmen?

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil watch Watchmen and give their opinions about the most anticipated movie of 2009. Joining them in the Magical Virtual Studio in the Sky is Cole Abaius, the resident Watchmen aficionado at FilmSchoolRejects.com. Kevin tries to derail the episode by discussing the falling-in-love failures of The Bachelor and what a lousy president Allison Taylor is on 24, but Neil and Cole bring things back to the Watchmen spotlight because there’s nothing else coming out this week. Finally, Cole stuns everyone by declaring that this weekend will be another winner for Madea at the box office.

Films Reviewed this Week: Watchmen.
