Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil staggers into the Magical Studio in the Sky after pulling an all-nighter and seeing more movies than Kevin has. The two commiserate about how the studios have refused to show them either of the horror movies opening this week, despite the fact that Kevin would love to see another 3D slasher. The Fat Guys also trip back to Woodstock (which took place before either was born) with Ang Lee’s new flick Taking Woodstock. Finally, Neil gives some love to World’s Greatest Dad, featuring a very hairy and very naked Robin Williams, then they throw down a Fat Guy Five about horror franchises that just… won’t… die!

On This Week’s Show: Kevin welcomes Neil back to the Magical Studio in the Sky from his emergency “gender re-clarification” surgery in the Netherlands. Neil celebrates his return by not seeing any movies, even though he wanted to see Inglourious Basterds. The Fat Guys wax poetic about the copious amount of swastikas that are made by Hollywood every year, and eventually they break out a Fat Guy Five: The Top Five Films of Quentin Tarantino… not including Inglorious Basterds. Oh, and they also watch as Post Grad flunks and Shorts gives kids an orgy of cartoon slapstick this weekend.

On This Week’s Show: Neil is whisked away for an “emergency” surgery in the Netherlands, so Kevin welcomes guest host Emily McFadden from the Cue the Film podcast. Together, they take a trip to District 9 and galavant with The Time Traveler’s Wife. Kevin and Emily also talk Bandslam and Vanessa Hudgens in pictures, as well as Ponyo and The Goods. In the second segment, Kevin and Emily derail right into a cogent discussion of modern cinema, and then they get back on track for a Fat Guy Five: Five Awesome Alien Flicks.

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin throws some hatred Neil’s way for being one of the few critics in the country to be allowed to see G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA. They put their differences aside for a brief moment to discuss the alien holocaust movie known as Julie & Julia. Then the claws come out as the Fat Guys have a smackdown about whether A Perfect Getaway sucks or rocks. Then, in honor of films like G.I. Joe and Transformers 2, they throw down a Fat Guy Five about movies that aren’t great but they loved as kids.

Episode 125 – Fatty People

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil reunite in the Magical Studio in the Sky after Neil’s stint at the big house (or rather the little house; it was Pahrump, Nevada after all). They contemplate how funny Funny People is and whether anyone knows that Aliens in the Attic is coming out. Neil wets his pants at the mere mention of The Collector and Kevin gloats about his prophetic predictions about farting Guinea pigs topping the box office. Finally, the Fat Guys lay down a new Fat Guy Five, which highlights their favorite funny people who went from the stand-up stage to the silver screen.

Episode 124 – F-Force!

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil is back from the nation’s capital after an arduous road trip over half the country. Kevin relishes in making fun of the fact that he hasn’t seen any of the major releases this week. Neil prepares to head west, young man, for the San Diego Comic-Con to worship at the Mecca of Geekdom. But before he goes, Neil sits down for one last podcast to talk about Katherine Heigl’s new teeth, Gerard Butler’s sexiness, evil orphans, the Iraq war and 3D secret agent Guinea Pigs.

[Editor’s note: This episode of FG@TM was recorded earlier this week before Neil and Cole Abaius embarked on their road trip to San Diego, which inluded an unfortunate pitstop in Pahrump, NV where they await arraignment by a judge who bears an uncanny resemblance to John Goodman.]

Episode 123 – Fatty Potter and the Fat-Blood Prince

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil continues to lurk around our nation’s capital on a clandestine assignment, so FSR’s Features Editor Cole Abaius steps in as guest Fat Guy this week (although he insists he’s very appropriately body-proportionate). Cole lends his dulcet tones of his pre-pubescent voice to the show, spinning tales of the Harry Potter junket and Emma Watson’s ability to swear. Kevin weighs in with his review of the new wizard film, and the Fat Guy and Body-Proportionate Guy hit us up with a new Fat Guy Five, inspired by Hogwarts: Five Cinematic Schools We’d Like to Attend.

On This Week’s Show: Neil has gone on a clandestine mission to our nation’s capital, including a visit to the Pentagon to warn our military of the impending threat of giant alien robots. This leads Kevin to meet up with his chubby co-host in the Magical Studio in the Sky, from an undisclosed location (which may or may not be a jail cell). Together, they travel to the Moon before joining Brüno in saying I Love You, Beth Cooper! Before handing down a Fat Guy Five about awesome movies that take place in space, Neil tries to declare that Michael Bay is an intellectual director while Kevin unleashes some venom on the late and perverse Michael Jackson.

Episode 121 – Revenge of the Fattened

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Neil hoses down the Magical Studio in the Sky with bodily fluids and testosterone after watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen not once, but twice. Kevin tries to keep a level head while suffering through a review of My Sister’s Keeper. There’s a minor Fat Guy smackdown as Neil tries to justify his stalker-ish excitement for all things Michael Bay, but eventually he agrees with Kevin with his Jurassic Park analogy. Then they serve up a Fat Guy Five about movies that assault the senses. Awesome!

Episode 120 – One Fat Proposal

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil say “Screw the new films!” and dive into a bed of controversy – Kevin for calling both Sarah Palin and David Letterman idiots and Neil for some racial comments we’re sure he’ll have to apologize for at some point. Oh, and they do talk a little bit about The Proposal and Year One. Later in the show, they unveil a Fat Guy Five about classic historical comedies, and Neil makes the case for Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb even though it was a contemporary comedy in the 60s. And the final answer has also been delivered as to whether Neil can do an effective Schwarzenegger impression.

Episode 119 – Imagine Fat

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: After a couple good weeks with at least one good movie to enjoy, Kevin and Neil hit the dog days of the cinematic summer. But at least Neil had a good weekend, and Kevin has some fun taking jabs at Neil’s manly prowess. The Fat Guys debate the ability of John Travolta to be a badass and wonder why Eddie Murphy is still making films. In that regard, they knock out a Fat Guy Five about the movies they wish Eddie Murphy hadn’t made, and Neil threatens to stab Kevin in the eyeballs.

Episode 118 – Land of the Fat

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Neil continues his reign over Kevin by seeing more movies this week. However, Kevin doesn’t take this lying down and unleashes venom on Neil like dinosaur urine. (Trust me, this reference is relevant if you’ve seen Land of the Lost.) The Fat Guys spar like never before, with Neil zoning out periodically and Kevin defending the family film nature of certain movies. In the spirit of The Hangover, they also unleash a new Fat Guy Five: Five Great Movies About Las Vegas. Still, no one saw My Life in Ruins, and no one seems upset by that.

On This Week’s Show: The unprecedented has happened in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Not only has Neil seen as many movies this week as Kevin, but they also seem to agree on everything. Surely, this is a sign of the apocalypse. In celebration of this blue moon event, Kevin and Neil provide not one, but two Fat Guy Fives, also in honor of two vastly different films in the theaters this week. But have no fear. Kevin and Neil will be back with fighting words next week.

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin wage war on the machines… and McG with some scathing analysis of Terminator: Salvation. Then they move onto the movies that Neil hasn’t seen: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Dance Flick. They also give some love for DVDs, tease the audience with an upcoming interview with William Sanderson from HBO’s True Blood and lay out a Fat Guy Five – sequels that should have never been made!

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin stumble into the Magical Studio in the Sky, completely unprepared for the show. But at least they have both seen this week’s movies, Angels & Demons and Big Man Japan. They procede to gush over the DVD picks this week, revisiting some love for all things Star Trek. They continue with a Fat Guys Five, detailing five sequels that were better than the original. Shalhoub.
