The Fat Guys also weigh in on last week’s number one film, X-Men Origins: Wolverine before moving along the a new Fat Guy Five, offering their suggestions for the best Trek films before the reboot. And they completely forget to mention that the last four digits of the Fat Guys telephone number spell “TREK.”
