Episode 241 – Cottage Cheese and Hairy Buttocks

This Week: In the wake of the holiday weekend, shopping stampedes and pepper sprayings at Wal-Mart, Kevin invites Jared Zimney from Movies in the Mancave back into the Magical Studio in the Sky. With no major wide releases opening in theaters this week, Kevin and Jared chat about some of the limited releases and award films, including The Descendants, Marsha Marsha Marsha and Shame. Later in the show, Kevin extols the virtues of not wearing pants, they rip on Twilight a little bit more and lay down a Fat Guy Five about the most anticipated movies of December. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up before they say good-bye for another week.

Episode 240 – Sex Ed From Someone Famous

This Week: Getting set for Thanksgiving week, Kevin decides to keep everything in the family this week… including the guests of the show. So he invites his sons Liam (age 10 years old) and Ben (age 8 years old) to give the kids’ perspective on all the family movies out this week. They chat about Arthur Christmas, Hugo and all things Muppets, both new and old. Then they send Ben to bed before tackling box office predictions and learning a little about puberty. Sanity returns at the end of the middle segment with the Fat Guy Five: Five Favorite Muppet Moments. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up, and they send you away with a message of Thanksgiving. (Not really… they forgot the Thanksgiving message, but it probably would have been food-related, anyway.)
