Posted on

This Week: The Fat Guys affirm that they are friends but prefer to get their benefits elsewhere. But that doesn’t stop Neil from gushing over Natalie Portman like a chubby fifteen-year-old at Comic-Con. Kevin pooh-poohs the movie because he didn’t get a chance to see it, and he bemoans the fact that Neil has seen more movies this week. They also talk about Peter Weir and how flabbergasted Neil is by him, plus some wah-boo-hooing about The Company Men. Finally, after some box office predictions and a voice mail, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about which Hollywood hotties they’d like to have as friends with benefits.

Posted on

This Week: The Fat Guys go green this week while they test their skillz as superheroes. Unfortunately, without a cool-ass side-kick who can also make a mean cappuccino, they’re left with two chubby dudes who can’t fight worth a damn. But they can talk movies. So they give the audience the low-down on The Green Hornet and The Dilemma before laying down a Fat Guy Five about awesome sidekicks.

Episode 196 – Puppies Are Easier to Please Than Strippers

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: With the coming of January, the Fat Guys face a coming of some pretty mediocre (and some downright terrible) movies. What comes with that territory is the fact that a good number of those movies aren’t screened. So even though they had a chance to see the Gwyneth Paltrow Oscar-bait flick Country Strong, there was no way to see Nicolas Cage and his mullet in Season of the Witch. So to fill the time, the Fat Guys trade stories about homeless people and explain why puppies are easier to please than strippers.

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: As 2010 rolls to a close, the Fat Guys roll into the Magical Studio in the Sky, braving phlegm and other ailments to talk about the best and worst of the year and maybe review a movie or two. They stutter their way through a review of The King’s Speech and also get nasty-sexy with a review of Blue Valentine. Then in the infamous third segment, the Fat Guys respond to an irate listener voice mail before talking about their picks for best and worst of 2010. All of this is wrapped up in the final minutes of 2010 with some of the most lackluster DVD and Blu-ray picks in months. Should old acquaintance be forgot… Bring on 2011!

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: As one big fat guy plans on sneaking into your house in the middle of the night, two other fat guys seek to entertain you as they talk about the new movies of Christmas week. Of course, it’s not hard to be entertaining when you’re looking at drivel such as Little Fockers and Gulliver’s Travels. At least there’s a Coen Brothers movie in the mix with True Grit. Neil only sees the good film this week, and Kevin is so traumatized by Little Fockers that he can’t even make a good stripper joke. Finally, the Fat Guys lay down a Fat Guy Five about the most insane (and only sometimes awesome) Christmas movies out there. Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from the Magical Studio in the Sky.

On This Week’s Show: This week, Neil Miller has overdosed on turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, a self-destructive behavior that landed him directly into Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Kevin wishes Neil a speedy recovery and has invited FSR box office guru and co-host of The Golden Briefcase, Jeremy Kirk, into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They talk about the new wide releases that no one has seen and the limited releases that apparently everyone has. From insane ballerinas to kung fu cowboys, Kevin and Jeremy try to do Neil justice by talking about a bunch of movies they haven’t seen… and saying a lot of creepy things about Natalie Portman.

Kevin and Fozzie also talk about the Horror Hound Weekend in Cincinnati and lay down a Fat Guy Five about their five favorite ends to franchises. Oh, and Fozzie says “twat” in the radio segments.
