Episode 119 – Imagine Fat
On This Week’s Show: After a couple good weeks with at least one good movie to enjoy, Kevin and Neil hit the dog days of the cinematic summer. But at least Neil had a good weekend, and Kevin has some fun taking jabs at Neil’s manly prowess. The Fat Guys debate the ability of John Travolta to be a badass and wonder why Eddie Murphy is still making films. In that regard, they knock out a Fat Guy Five about the movies they wish Eddie Murphy hadn’t made, and Neil threatens to stab Kevin in the eyeballs.

Episode 118 – Land of the Fat
On This Week’s Show: Neil continues his reign over Kevin by seeing more movies this week. However, Kevin doesn’t take this lying down and unleashes venom on Neil like dinosaur urine. (Trust me, this reference is relevant if you’ve seen Land of the Lost.) The Fat Guys spar like never before, with Neil zoning out periodically and Kevin defending the family film nature of certain movies. In the spirit of The Hangover, they also unleash a new Fat Guy Five: Five Great Movies About Las Vegas. Still, no one saw My Life in Ruins, and no one seems upset by that.
Films Reviewed this Week: Land of the Lost and The Hangover. My Life In Ruins is previewed and ridiculed.
