Episode 261 – Estrogen Week

Posted on

This Week: It’s “Estrogen Week” in the Magical Studio in the Sky, where we celebrate chick flicks not because we love them but because those are the only big releases in theaters. So naturally, Kevin invites another dude into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about said chick flicks. They also talk about Chimpanzee, the height of various actors, Michael Bay’s penchant for racism, interacting with filmmakers they don’t particularly like and a Fat Guy Five about the awfulness that is Nicholas Sparks movies. They also throw in some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before spraying down the studio with testosterone and declaring themselves awesome.

Topics include breast size, dolphin rape and the mysteries of John Denver. And that’s in addition to all the other fancy discussion about box office, listener feedback and a Fat Guy Five about fourth movies.

Episode 257 – Entertaining My Pants Right Off

Posted on

This Week: Being that Kevin is an expert on hunger, which is something he feels when he isn’t able to stuff his face for an hour or so, he eagerly awaits a discussion of the new film The Hunger Games. Also, since Kevin has no time to read anything more than picture books (because you’ll remember he read The Lorax several weeks ago), he invites Film School Rejects’ Associate Editor Kate Erbland into the Magical Studio in the Sky to discuss the book and film. They also give some restrained box office predictions and lay down a Fat Guy Five about movies that involve fighting to the death. Are you not entertained?

Episode 254 – It Wasn’t Scratch-and-Sniff

Posted on

This Week: For the week after the Oscars, Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky for some intellectual discussion about this week’s films. Unfortunately, things derail fast in the third segment, which Kevin and Nick blame on the celluloid abortion known as Project X. There’s a brief moment of sensibility as they also talk about The Lorax, though the show is dominated by talk about extreme fetish pornography, gay racist Klingons and Shweddy Balls. They also chat a little about the Oscars and Kevin lists his favorite Dr. Seuss books. Then it’s into the final segment to talk DVDs and to give Nick a chance to swear on the radio.

Episode 252 – Vomit Bullets and Wee-Wee Fire

Posted on

This Week: It is a dark time for movie reviewers. Being the middle of February, most of the releases are absolute crap, and the studios haven’t screened them. But that doesn’t stop honey-badger reviewer Kevin Carr from pushing ahead with the Fat Guys at the Movies podcast. He invites Ronald Nicholls from BoxOfficeBuz.com to not review the new films this week, including Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (which was not screened for anyone, and that’s the studio that screened Jack and Jill) and This Means War (which suffered from marketing confusion and botched Valentine’s Day screenings). They also tip their hats to The Secret World of Arrietty, which is probably all kinds of awesome, but Disney didn’t screen it much because it is such a limited release. Kevin and Ron also answer a listener question, talk about the box office and list some of the best Studio Ghibli movies in the Fat Guy Five.

Together they bemoan the presence of Channing Tatum in films today as well as wonder if Ryan Reynolds can hold up against Denzel Washington in an action movie. They also chat about The Rock’s latest family adventure film, then head into the middle segment to talk about box office and answer a listener email. They also chat about Michael’s anthology horror flick and lay down a Fat Guy Five about absolute crap films that they love. Then it’s the DVD Rundown and a big good-bye for the week.
