On This Week’s Show: Neil stuns the interwebs by once again seeing none of the new movies this week, but Kevin swoops in to save the day with his reviews of Where the Wild Things Are and Law Abiding Citizen. However, due to the fact that Screen Gems releases total crap, neither of them were afforded a chance to see The Stepfather, but that doesn’t stop the Fat Guys from offering their opinions. And speaking of opinions, in honor of Where the Wild Things Are, Kevin and Neil throw down a Fat Guy Five about great adaptations of children’s books before Neil makes a relatively creepy revelation about himself at the climax of the show.

On This Week’s Show: Neil crawls into the Magical Studio in the Sky in spite of the fact that he’s suffering from the Fantastic Flu (which he describes as a cross between swine flu and super-AIDS), though Kevin suspects this is just an excuse for having not seen any of the movies this week. Still, the Fat Guys go on a Couple’s Retreat and experience some Paranormal Activity. Kevin and Neil chat about some awesome horror movie experiences for the month of October, then lay down a Fat Guy Five for Five Great Films About Paranormal Activity.
