On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil welcome a special guest into the studio – Kevin’s son Liam. He’s only 7, but he’s seen more movies this week than Neil.

The trio also gives their thoughts on Hellboy II and Journey to the Center of the Earth before a wayward spider enters the Magical Studio in the Sky and completely derails the show.
