On This Week’s Show: With Neil indisposed for the holidays, Kevin welcomes Fozzie Bare back to the Magical Studio in the Sky, trading one fat guy with a beard who hasn’t seen any of the movies with another fat guy with a beard who hasn’t seen any of the movies. They talk about spies, wizards and how Russell Crowe is like a delicious cookie (but not in a good way). 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. Egads!

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: After the Magical Studio in the Sky is invaded by Kevin’s kids, the Fat Guys talk a bit about alien invasions as well as runaway trains and morning news shows. Of course, Neil hasn’t seen any of the movies this week, but that doesn’t stop him from waxing poetic about Tony Scott and Jessica Alba’s boobs. Before giving their full-figured DVD and Blu-ray picks of the week, Kevin and Neil lay down a Fat Give Five in honor of the recently deceased Dino di Laurentiis.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 18

Posted on

In this very special episode: You know how last episode was supposed to be the most offensive episode yet? Well, you haven’t heard this episode. Be the judge afterwards. The Idiots get off to a slow start, but soon fatigue and irritation at political correctness cause Kevin to start swearing and daring to say evern worse words. (Again… sorry, Dawn from California.) After the basic discussion of what rocked and what sucked, Merrill’s ass falls off his body, and he smacks his head into the desk. They also sound off about South Park and election advertising before the Idiot Recommendations, which may or may not include a variety show version of the SuperFriends.

Episode 187 – MegaFat

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil Miller shows up in the Magical Studio in the Sky to lay down the gauntlet to Kevin Carr. After seeing movies almost exclusively at film festivals two or three times a year, Neil declares himself worthy because he’s seen two movies in limited release, compared to Kevin seeing two major releases for the week. Not surprisingly, neither one has seen the new Tyler Perry film, thanks to Lionsgate’s “we don’t screen our movies” policy. But the competent movie discussion soon deteriorates as Neil makes a Taxicab Confession about Star Wars in the infamous middle segment whilst laying down one of the best Fat Guy Fives in months.

Episode 186 – The Big Fat Halloween Special

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: It’s Halloween weekend, and that means the Fat Guys are more concerned about getting a big bag of candy instead of watching movies. This might account for the fact that neither of them saw Saw 3D… or maybe it was because like most of the other Saw movies, Lionsgate didn’t screen this one for press. That doesn’t stop the Fat Guys from talking about it, as well as a brief nod to the new Oscar-bait film Conviction, which Kevin did see. Neil is too tired in this episode to care either way. The show rolls on as Kevin tells how he almost got in a fight after seeing Paranormal Activity 2 before talking box office numbers and laying down a Fat Guy Five, in which he ranks the previous Saw movies.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 17

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers return with what could be their most offensive episode yet. They may be talking about shows under broadcast standards but they’re definitely using some HBO language. (Well, Merrill uses the HBO language while Kevin just conjures up some extremely disturbing imagery… sorry Dawn from California.) They talk about the shows that rocked and the shows that sucked, plus a copious amount of TV news. Then they sound off about things like The Incredible Hulk and CBS’s streaming policy. Finally, they exhaustively round things out with TV-on-DVD picks and Idiot Recommendations.

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin return to the Magical Studio in the Sky to contemplate ghost stories. Neil is, of course, wetting his pants in fear and Kevin is trying to get to a screening of Paranormal Activity 2. They also review Clint Eastwood’s latest Oscar grab, Hereafter and later discuss the potential fallout from Transformers: The Dark of the Moon being both shot in and post-converted to 3D. Finally, they lay down a Fat Give Five about great ghost movies before giving their DVD picks.

Episode 184 – Fatass 3D

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: After what the Fat Guys have been told was a very articulate and informative show last week, they bounce back to mediocrity and shenanigans. And it’s so appropriate that one of this week’s movies is Jackass 3D. They also talk about Red and the more intellectual documentary Waiting for Superman. Then they lay down a Fat Guy Five about some badass old people in action movies.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 16

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers come back from an exhausting premiere week to talk about the shows that continue to keep their interest. In an attempt to appeal more to the ladies of the audience, Kevin invites a special guest into the Magical Studio in the Sky – Ellen (aka @TheLawyerChick on Twitter), who is a big fan of Kate Walsh and Private Practice. In an effort of diplomacy, Merrill is left out of that discussion. The Idiot Boxers sound off about online advertising and movie/TV talent cross-overs before laying down their DVD picks.

Episode 183 – Fat As We Know It

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil Miller makes his triumphant return to the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about films he hasn’t seen (like Secretariat, Life as We Know It and My Soul to Take 3D) as well as one he has (Buried). Kevin welcomes him back with open arms, which leads to an uncharacteristically insightful discussion in the infamous middle segment about everything from Zack Snyder directing the Superman film to the reasons behind Hatchet 2 being pulled from release. All this happens before they wrap things up with a neat little bow that includes DVD reviews and a look back at the fantastic Fantastic Fest.

Second Reel Ep. 12 – Shock Around the Clock 2010

Posted on

On This Episode: It’s October, and that means it’s a time for horror movies. And what better way to enjoy horror movies than to sit in a dark theater with a couple hundred of your closest friends and watch a dozen or so of them projected on the big screen. For this episode of Fat Guys at the Movies: Second Reel, Kevin invites Joe Neff into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the annual Shock Around the Clock horror movie marathon in Columbus, Ohio. This year’s marathon runs from 12 noon October 23rd until 12 noon October 24th. Joe lets Kevin in on the current screening list and any special surprises that might happen during the night. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: While Neil is still doing fantastic things at Fantastic Fest, Kevin invites David Medsker from Bullz-eye.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to kick off October right with some horror movies. They invite a twelve-year-old vampire in with them and try to avoid being its lunch. They also debate about how relevant The Social Network is to actual social networks. They also wonder where the hell Renee Zellweger has been for the past half-decade. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about American remakes of foreign films, ’cause good ones do actually exist.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 15

Posted on

In this very special episode: Hey, hey! It’s premiere week at the Magical Studio in the Sky, and the Idiot Boxers have been furiously at work catching up on all the new television shows. They crank out the longest first segment in the history of the show, which we will refer to as $#i! That Merrill Likes. Have no fear, they drop the infamous Sound Off segment to keep things brief and also get into a couple fights about new shows and old. Oh, and a surprising amount of love for the CW shows this week. Go figure.
