This Week: Kristin escapes from the Magical Studio in the Sky for a quick vacation to a place where she has to get vaccinations and bug-resistant clothing. Meanwhile, Kevin invites his New to Netflix co-host Nicholas Herum to fill Kristin’s shoes. And my, does he look funny in those high heels. This week, there’s not many releases, but the two fat guys manage to find plenty to say about exhibitors calling for more PG-13 movies and fewer R-rated movies, as well as the new film of the week: Iron Man 3. Later, they answer a listener voice mail about Joss Whedon and filmmaker fandom before rattling off some DVD suggestions and heading off into the sunset.

Listening to the podcast now, the topic being discussed is PG-13 vs. R movies. As a die-hard horror fan, I would love to be able to tell exhibitors that my friends and I religiously avoid any “horror” film that’s PG-13. We won’t see it at the theater, we won’t rent it, we won’t watch if on Amazon Prime or Netflix.
