Episode 99 – Notorious F.A.T. Guys (and a Girl)

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Neil is hobnobbing around Park City, Utah with his flunkies, hoping to score some make-out moments with John Stamos or Garry Shandling. So, Kevin is left in the Magical Studio in the Sky with special guest host Kristin Dreyer Kramer from NightsAndWeekends.com. Together they take a look at the infamous (and dare we say Notorious) January releases. They also vent about Megan Fox, Mickey Rourke and the Golden Globes while welcoming back another guest appearance by the Neil Miller Sock Puppet mascot. And Kristin is afraid that she is being stalked by a guy in a blaze-orange coat. Eeek!

Films Reviewed this Week: Hotel for Dogs, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, My Bloody Valentine 3D, Notorious and Defiance.

Episode 98 – Get Your Unborn Fat Guys Off My Lawn!

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Neil is sick, but Kevin still makes him do the show in the Virtual Studio in the Sky.

Kevin is also stunned at the fact that porn star Katie Morgan has seen him naked on the Internet. The boys drool over Odette Yustman and complain about Tyler Perry wannabes and 4 1/2 award movies like Che. But most of all, they want you to get off their lawn!

Episode 96 – The Tale of Seven Hundred Pound Fat Men

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil wind down through a massive month of movies, commenting on everything from characters’ heart conditions to tattooed strippers past their prime (but still fun to watch).

They take some swipes at Will Smith, try to figure out the connection between big-eared mice and soup, and they welcome Jim Carrey back from the brink of The Number 23. Kevin bemoans the fact that he contributed a significant sum to the weekend box office of Delgo, and Neil defends his ambiguously gay DVD picks of the week.

Episode 95 – Faatu Barada Nikto

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil are overwhelmed with the impending awards season, feverishly trying to watch all the films at press screenings and on studio-provided DVDs. They know this makes you jealous, but such is the life of illustrious film critics. Kevin declares that the role of Klaatu is perfect for Keanu. Neil refuses to see the family holiday dysfunction film of the week. No one even cares about Delgo and Neil only made it half-way through Slumdog Millionaire. They also weigh in on the recent Golden Globe nominations and declare it officially awesome that Tropic Thunder and In Bruges received a couple nods.

Films Reviewed this Week: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Nothing Like the Holidays, Delgo, Slumdog Millionaire and Wendy and Lucy.
