Episode 144 – The Princess and the Fat

Posted on December 11, 2009

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil find themselves in not-so-familiar territory by not totally fighting about this week’s movies. While Neil hasn’t seen The Princess and the Frog, he and Kevin pretty much agree about the other new releases like Invictus (though Kevin berates Neil for taking so much time to examing The Lovely Bones and later rages about Peter Jackson’s obnoxious cameo). Later in the show, they throw down a Fat Guy Five about their favorite hand-drawn Disney animated films, and in the process they also learn that they can’t count.

Posted on December 4, 2009

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: So many movies… so few screenings. In spite of the fact that almost no movies were screened for them this week, Kevin and Neil meet in the Magical Studio in the Sky to not talk about Armored, Brothers and Transylmania. (There were screenings for Everybody’s Fine, but the Fat Guys each missed it for personal reasons… so sue them!) But even without knowing anything about the films opening this week, the Fat Guys take time to discuss Neil’s faux pas with his girlfriend, Kevin being a near body double for Taylor Lautner, Neil’s homoerotic fantasies about Neil Patrick Harris and how to tweet in Klingon. tIv cha’!
