Fat Guy 5: Five Reasons Why ‘Chronicle’ Sucks Ass

Posted on

On This Episode: Kevin digs out the old Second Reel podcast and dusts it over, giving it a new coat of paint so it also works as a Fat Guy Five. After loathing the new film Chronicle, Kevin seeks out Steve “Gabe” Reeves, who also detested the film. Instead of finding diverse opinions on the subject (because, let’s face it… if you want to find Chronicle love, you can look at just about every other web site out there). Instead, they take the time to berate the film and rattle off the five reasons why it is turrible.

A Very Special Episode

Posted on

In this very super special “special episode”: On the weekend of August 6, Kevin and Merrill made a trek to New York City where they joined forces with FozzieBare from The Podcast Podcast. What resulted was the Late-Night Chat Room, a live talk show in the city that never sleeps. Prior to the Late-Night Chat Room, Kevin and Merrill sat down, face-to-face for the first time in the history of the universe, to chat about how the event came to being and what it was like to meet each other. And believe it or not, no one was strangled in the process… yet.
