Episode 292 – The Nastiness of Lindsay Lohan’s Teeth

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin gather near a cornucopia of awesome to talk about the movies of Thanksgiving week. They’re thankful for new radio affiliates and the fact that the movies aren’t giant turkeys this week. They feast on Red Dawn, Life of Pi and Rise of the Guardians before making dessert of the DVDs and Blu-ray available this week. It’s Kevin’s grand plan to make Kristin fatter. The whole “guy” thing will have to come later.

Episode 291 – Do You Have a Shiv?

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin run all a-sparkle into the Magical Studio in the Sky to squeal and discuss the latest and (God help us) last Twilight movie: Breaking Dawn: Part II. But before that, Kevin shares his war stories of surviving the near-deadly Red Dawn Brawl of 2012 (which was quite possibly as crazy as the I Am Legend Scuffle Kerfuffle of 2007). They also talk about Silver Linings Playbook and Kevin gloats about his accuracy in James Bond box office predictions. Then, it’s onto the DVD Round-Up before curling up in a ball and weeping at the loss of the Twilight films from our collective popular culture.

More fun is in store as they talk some lesser-known Bond rumors, start to keep track of each others’ box office predictions, read a listener email and chew through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin Dreyer Kramer meet up once again in the Magical Studio in the Sky for the first weekend in October, getting ready for Halloween.

They also talk about weird connections between mummies and grade school textbooks, Kevin’s 31 Days of Horror, the ability of Gary Busey to outlive his co-stars and why Kevin might start wearing a tie.

Episode 282 – There Is One In Space

Posted on

This Week: Kevin suffers through the doldrums of September movie season, inviting Mel Valentin back to the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the scant selection of new films. They examine the works of Paul Anderson – both Paul W.S. and PT – while they discuss both the Resident Evil films as well as the new award-bait movie The Master. There’s also a hearty discussion of Finding Nemo and its 3D re-release as well as why commenters hate Kevin because of his review. They then dive into the infamous middle segment and keep it relatively clean, talking box office and how it relates to Nicholas Cage. Then there’s a Fat Guy Five about fish movies before heading into the DVD Round-up and sending the audience along their merry way.

Episode 281 – Ikea Fantasies

Posted on

This Week: Because one of the movies opening this week stars Bradley “Popsicle Eyes” Cooper, Kevin brings Dame Elisabeth Rappe back into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about her bizarre Ikea fantasies with the actor. They also talk about Henry Cavill and his ruling power in the Czech Republic. And speaking of the Czech Republic, they also look at the new bizarre stop-motion animated toy movie Toys in the Attic. When they careen into the infamous middle segment, things quickly derail as they discuss the sad state of American college students, how to make a pink rainbow and Elisabeth’s experiences with an accidental anti-Semite in college she lovingly referred to as “American Psycho.” They also talk about the movies they’re still looking forward to in 2012, as well as the sad state of Clint Eastwood’s sanity. The show is so packed full of stuff, some actually had to be edited out. So keep your eyes open for a bonus episode in which Kevin talks about his penchant for women’s fashion and why so many of Elisabeth’s neighbors live in the closet until they go shopping with their spouses.

Episode 280 – I Love Nipples

This Week: In the doldrums of summer, Kevin is wandering aimlessly because there were no screenings for any of the movies opening for Labor Day weekend.

Later, they examine Olivia Munn’s career and what she could do to get more exposure (if you know what they mean). Then they talk about the box office of the previous week and also lay down a Fat Guy Five about children’s films that adults can enjoy as well as kids. Then, in the final segment, they run down a slew of DVDs and Blu-rays before saying good-bye for another week.
