Episode 309 – Die Hard In Your Pants

This Week: Kevin pats Kristin on the back for getting closer to the box office topper than he did. He, of course, expects a return pat when he wins next time for sure. Then they chat about some scant movie news before moving on to this week’s reviews. Find out why Kristin thought The Croods was too rude and why Kevin thought Admission was too snobby. Also, find out not much about Olympus Has Fallen because the critic screening was held out to the bitter-end last minute. Then it’s on to the DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before Kevin and Kristin say good-bye to the Magical Studio in the Sky for another week.

OSNAP: The Rumpelstiltskin of Penises
This week, Merrill shares with the audience how his spectacular week was derailed by a souffle cup of ketchup and him forgetting he had pockets in his pants. However, before all that, Kevin rages a bit about people raging about daylight savings time. Being the nature of the podcast, the conversation soon turns towards porn stars and the surprise of having them @reply you on Twitter. (Yeah, that’s a shout-out to @GingerLee.) Finally, in the ending segment, things gets all sorts of crazy with talk of stealing penises and the biology behind masturbation. Oh, snap!
