Episode 100 – A Fat Guy Centennial

On This Week’s Show: Neil is still schmoozing in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, so Kevin is holding down the fort with guest host David Medsker from Bullz-eye.com. It’s a lighter week for movies, so in the midst of talking about werewolves, vampires and Brendan Fraser reading (ha! like he reads!), Kevin and David discuss what might happen to sexy tattoos in 40 or 50 years, TV girlfriends and Rhona Mitra’s lumpy knees. And it’s the 100th episode of Fat Guys at the Movies, so you have that to be happy about!

Films Reviewed this Week: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Inkheart and Last Chance Harvey.

Episode 99 – Notorious F.A.T. Guys (and a Girl)

On This Week’s Show: Neil is hobnobbing around Park City, Utah with his flunkies, hoping to score some make-out moments with John Stamos or Garry Shandling. So, Kevin is left in the Magical Studio in the Sky with special guest host Kristin Dreyer Kramer from NightsAndWeekends.com. Together they take a look at the infamous (and dare we say Notorious) January releases. They also vent about Megan Fox, Mickey Rourke and the Golden Globes while welcoming back another guest appearance by the Neil Miller Sock Puppet mascot. And Kristin is afraid that she is being stalked by a guy in a blaze-orange coat. Eeek!

Films Reviewed this Week: Hotel for Dogs, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, My Bloody Valentine 3D, Notorious and Defiance.
