This Week: It’s Oscar Week in the Magical Studio in the Sky, so of course that means that it’s a Fat Guys discussion about the Navy SEALs, Tyler Perry, Jennifer Aniston and a 90s throwback thriller movie. Kevin invites fellow live-tweeter Leonard Wilson into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about this week’s films and give some insight into this weekend’s Oscar ceremony. They also chat about box office while Kevin calls shenanigans on box office reports. Then they answer a listener question before switching up the Fat Guy Five to make it the Fat Guy Six about the “big six” Oscar categories. Then it’s on to the DVD Round-Up where they both make some “Ooo Cat” noises. Oooooooo!

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers are back for a fun-filled episode of cynicism, swearing and really offensive rants about celebrity worship and the death of Whitney Houston (and they apologize in advance for what is said in the show). They also talk about the latest TV news and get down with some reviews, including a scathing analysis of Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men. But since Merrill had such a great week, there’s few things Kevin can say to bring him down. Poor kid. Later, they sound-off about Netflix viewership, then offer some DVD suggestions and Idiot Recommendation. It’s been a long couple weeks between episodes, but the Idiots make sure to not disappoint with their unique analysis of the idiocy happening in the world of entertainment. As Whitney Cummings circa 1998 would say, it’s their jam!

This Week: It is a dark time for movie reviewers. Being the middle of February, most of the releases are absolute crap, and the studios haven’t screened them. But that doesn’t stop honey-badger reviewer Kevin Carr from pushing ahead with the Fat Guys at the Movies podcast. He invites Ronald Nicholls from BoxOfficeBuz.com to not review the new films this week, including Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (which was not screened for anyone, and that’s the studio that screened Jack and Jill) and This Means War (which suffered from marketing confusion and botched Valentine’s Day screenings). They also tip their hats to The Secret World of Arrietty, which is probably all kinds of awesome, but Disney didn’t screen it much because it is such a limited release. Kevin and Ron also answer a listener question, talk about the box office and list some of the best Studio Ghibli movies in the Fat Guy Five.
