This Week: Kevin invites film critic at large and author Alonso Duralde into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk penguins and green-colored will. Having both seen the two new movies this week, more reviewing actually happens on this show than ever before. While Kevin and Alonso may agree about some things for this weekend, they discover other films for which their opinions don’t quite jive. Still, that doesn’t stop them from handing down a Fat Guy Five about good Jim Carrey movies, recommending off-the-wall foreign films and answering some cogent listener feedback. Then there’s the DVD segment, which puts the focus on the real enemy… Tori Spelling.
