On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin break out the corsages and tuxedos to get ready for their big Prom Night. They also learn how to be Street Kings from a racist Keanu Reeves and see if they can out-smart Ellen Page and Dennis Quaid from Smart People. Neil admits to wanting to make out with both Keanu Reeves and Michael Bay while Kevin prepares to defend Uwe Boll. It’s a mess of springtime shenanigans with the Fat Guys at the movies.
Films Reviewed this Week: Street Kings, Smart People and Prom Night… with a tease for Zombie Strippers.

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin begin to slim down with the Biggest Reject Loser Challenge, but still vow to keep some fat so they don’t have to rename the show. We also serve witty banter over a discussion of love and football for Leatherheads, take a trip to Nim’s Island, freak out over evil weeds in The Ruins (while drooling over Laura Ramsey and her fabulous breasts) and wonder whose bright idea it was to put Mick Jagger’s wrinkly mug on an IMAX screen. Oh, and the uber-cool Gerard Butler chats with Kevin about Neil’s mom’s obsession with… Gerard Butler.
Films Reviewed this Week: Leatherheads, Nim’s Island, The Ruins and Shine a Light.

On This Week’s Show: We get Stop-lossed by a few bad movies, including one that was made under the MTV Films label (Stop-Loss) and another that might as well have been (21). We also take on the wonder that is Simon Pegg in his latest film, Run Fatboy Run, a concept that speaks directly to us — we just aren’t listening. We also run through our April Movie Preview, giving you a good list of the films you should be marking on your calendar — as well, we expose Kevin’s undying love for UFC fighters in bikini bottoms. Oh, and there is another stupid parody movie coming out — we take a moment to explain the pile of suck that is Superhero Movie.
Films Reviewed this Week: Run Fatboy Run, Superhero Movie, Stop-Loss and 21.
