This Week: With only one major movie opening this week, Kevin and Kristin gather a team of dwarves and wizards to return to Middle Earth. There they talk about upper Michigan coldness with Deadfall and how handjobs and hot dogs changed American history in Hyde Park on Hudson. They also talk about that little independent film you’ve heard of called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In keeping with the spirit of Peter Jackson, this episode is presented in 48fps (which stands for 48 fat pudgy spasms). Kevin and Kristin also chat about DVDs and Blu-rays and learn how to properly say French words in movie titles.

OSNAP: Dude, Seriously?
Hanukkah continues in the Magical Studio in the Sky with Merrill rattling off memorized Hebrew sayings throughout the show. Kevin then grills Merrill about how Jewish people actually pray, and Merrill has no good answers for him. Kevin continues to talk about feeling conflicted and uncomfortable during the show, but things look up when he describes the awesomeness of slutty brownies (which he calls the turducken of desserts). Later, Kevin and Merrill complain a little more about bloggers who get jealous about silly things and others that want to recall geek cards from anyone who doesn’t bleed green-copper blood. Finally, Kevin caps off the show with a disturbing stripper story. Oh, snap!

This Week: Kevin and Kristin celebrate a week of no movies… at least not any that anyone wants to see. Sure, there’s that new Gerard Butler picture, but they didn’t screen that for anyone. So to have something to talk about, Kevin and Kristin look at Hitchcock and reminisce on the Master of Suspense’s best films. They also read an iTunes review that strokes their egos. After some box office predictions that are sure to be super accruate, they throw down some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before signing off for another week.

OSNAP: I Yuv Big F*cks
Kevin and Merrill celebrate Hanukkah in the Magical Studio in the Sky by examining how much energy it takes to be Anti-Semitic. They also talk about the insane amount of energy that is needed to keep up with online drama and coordinate an “Elf of the Shelf” campaign for kids. All of this leads to the discovery that Kevin and Merrill are such nice guys because they are just too damn lazy to officially hate anyone or any group. They also look ahead to Award Season by talking about the multitude of “For Your Consideration” screeners that Kevin has received, and this leads Kevin to focus all of his lazy hatred on Judd Apatow and his latest film, This Is 40. There’s a brief apology to some loyal listeners for skimping on the stories about poop, porn and drunkenness. There’s also a revelation as to why Kevin’s youngest son swears so much. Oh, snap!
