fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil, neither of whom will be joining the other Film School Rejects at the 2010 Comic-Con, sit down and chew the fat about Angelina Jolie’s latest action picture, Salt. They also contemplate what Ramona and Beezus could be about. Then they move onto the glorious middle segment where they pretend to know something about the box office, hand down a Fat Guy Five and derail the show into a gory, bloody mess. They wrap things up finally with some DVD and Blu-ray suggestions, but we know that no one will by listening by the end anyway.
