This Week: Kevin brings a new guest to the Magical Studio in the Sky… Freddy Morris from Night of the Living Pocast. They put on some bandanas and each grab a cutlass to talk about the new Pirates of the Caribbean movie as well as give a retrospective of the first three films. Freddy gives the lowdown on some bizarre horror films while Kevin explains the notorious origins of his Words With Friends screen name. Then, after a barrage of predictably off-color jokes about Jodie Foster’s Beaver, they sandwich in a slice of love for Disney between even more off-color discussions of feces and pornography. It’s typical Fat Guys banter, which ends with some DVD recommendations. Arrrrrgh!

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin goes to the ends of the earth – or rather the other side of the earth – to find Simon Miraudo from QuickFlix.com.au as this week’s guest host. While neither one has seen any of the new movies for the week, that doesn’t stop them from talking about the phenomenon of Madea and Robert Pattinson’s smell-the-fart acting. Simon also surprises us with an advanced review of Thor. Then there’s some talk of 3D televisions, Randall’s nature shows and a Fat Guy Five about most anticipated summer (and Australian winter) movies.

This Week: Kevin invites Elisabeth “Rattlesnake” Rappe from Chud.com and Film.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about alcoholics in movies, ass-kicking kids and faaaaaabulous hair-dos in fantasy films. The show is promptly derailed only a few minutes in when Elisabeth reminds Kevin about his bottled-up feelings for 80s-era Grace Jones, and Elisabeth opens up about certain films on late-night Cinemax later in the show. They also find time to talk about Arthur, Hanna, Your Highness and Soul Surfer as well as David Bowie’s alarming codpiece from Labyrinth. It’s a crazy time this week on Fat Guys!

This Week: Well, if you haven’t figured it out by now, Kevin and Neil were not offered a lucrative script-writing job for the new Justice League movie.

They also give a quick recap of the South by Southwest Film Festival before listing a new Fat Guy Five: Five Unlikely Holiday Films, then handing out some DVD and Blu-ray picks.

This Week: Kevin welcomes Rudie Obias from Gordon and the Whale into the Magical Studio in the Sky. Even though Kevin hasn’t seen any of the films this week (with no thanks to the studios, who didn’t screen them anywhere in his state), he’s able to talk about them. Rudie takes a look at the kick-ass nature of Sucker Punch while Kevin tries to explain the appeal of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Together they chat about box office, the state of 3D versus ticket price, DVD picks and a look at five fun films (and film series) aimed at the 14-year-old boy in all of us.

This Week: While Neil is hobnobbing with celebrities and indie rock chicks at the South by Southwest Film Festival, Kevin invites Grae Drake from The Popcorn Mafia Podcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. And while some shows get derailed, this episode never quite makes it on the track. Sure, they talk about the new movies – including The Lincoln Lawyer, Paul, Limitless and Bereavement, they also talk about bizarre topics including Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” perverted Superman, face-licking and, of coures, boobs.

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin was feeling a bit under the weather, so he called in Dr. Cole Abaius from Film School Rejects and Reject Radio to make a house call to the Magical Studio in the Sky. While there, Dr. Abaius stuck around to talk about the latest movies, extreme female lactation, full-grown live human births, The Mountains of Madness, Red State and why box office pundits are like political scientists. There’s an alarmingly cogent disucssion of Hollywood trends and box office, but Kevin makes sure to derail it all with a quip about Drew Barrymore. After a brief Fat Guy Five, the good Doctor and his chubby sidekick lay down some DVD and Blu-ray reviews. Hoo-rah!

This Week: Hot off the Oscars, Kevin invites his Idiot Boxers co-host Merrill Barr into the Magical Studio in the Sky to record Fat Guys Proper.
