Episode 102 – A Fat Guy Reunion of Sorts

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil finally returns to the Magical Studio in the Sky with stories from the land of milk and honey, otherwise known as the Sundance Film Festival. Kevin celebrates the return by berating him for only seeing one movie this week, although Neil defends himself because he saw 143 movies at the festival. They explore topics like Steve Martin filling Peter Sellers’ shoes, why Neil wants to buy Maggie Grace from an international slavery ring and how it seems the best scene this week featuring Dakota Fanning requires her to be drunk. And even though Kevin missed Neil greatly, he refuses to hug him without his shirt on, unlike those swishy pilots from the 80s classic Top Gun.

Films Reviewed this Week: Pink Panther 2, Coraline, Push and He’s Just Not That Into You.

Episode 101 – A Fat Lotta Nothin’

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil has returned from Park City, but he’s decompressing from his fruitful Sundance trip. So Kristin Dreyer Kramer from NightsAndWeekends.com braved the Ohio snow and ice to make a trip to the Magical Studio in the Sky to join in this week’s fun. Too bad that inclement weather and certain studios’ refusal to screen films for critics resulted in Kevin and Kristin seeing no movies this week. Still, they had plenty to talk about, whether it be the most inappropriately shaped potato in human history or how bored they are with the Oscar nominations. Kristin also promises to get fatter or become a dude before here next guest hosting gig.
