And like any good media whore, he made sure to get some awesome swag from the studio… notice his wicked-cool Star Trek hat and Wolverine claws (which he admits are pretty ineffective as a weapon).

On This Week’s Show: Neil protests the late screenings of Wolverine by not seeing any movies this week. Kevin brings his son Liam on the show so he can actually talk to someone who has seen a film this week. Neil also sings praises for Kevin for moving into the Internet 2.0 generation with his newfound Twitter account. The Fat Guys ring in the summer movie season with a Fat Guy Five – The Most Anticipated Films of Summer, while Kevin risks a backlash of political correctness by explaining why he thinks Obsessed with Beyonkadonk did so well last week. Plus, Kevin gets a wicked-cool ride in the UP balloon chair.
