Episode 111 – State of Fat

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil has his tail between his legs because he hasn’t seen any movies this week, but he still maintains that he is awesome. Kevin enjoyed a nice dose of Zefron at the multiplex, then caught last-minute showings of State of Play and Crank: High Voltage. Guest film critic Chris Alexis from 7mpictures.com joins Kevin for a middle segment to spew out some hatred for Crank. Later in the show, Kevin sings praises for the cancellation of The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Neil gives some love to Inglorious Basterds. And everyone sighs when Zac Efron bats those baby blues.

Films Reviewed this Week: 17 Again, Crank: High Voltage and State of Play.

Episode 110 – Fat Guys!: The Story of Fat Guys

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil comes out swinging, preparing to defend the good name of Observe and Report from Kevin’s bile. Meanwhile, Kevin defends Hannah Montana as best a fat guy can while neither of them have anything to say at all about Dragonball: Evolution. But all come together in praise of Anvil!: The Story of Anvil, which is declared to be the best new release of the week. Neil replays his G4 appearance by giving us the scoop of his sneak peek at the new Star Trek movie (aren’t you jealous?) while Kevin scoffs at the idea of Megan Fox playing She-Hulk.

Films Reviewed this Week: Hannah Montana: The Movie, Observe and Report, Dragonball: Evolution and Anvil!: The Story of Anvil.
