On This Week’s Show: We anticipate the future release of the Miley Cyrus sex tape, but not before celebrating her big win at the box office last week. Speaking of sex tapes, we talk about how Paris Hilton’s The Hottie and the Nottie would be more interesting if it involved her with her clothes off and some guy’s… Nevermind. Kevin trashes yet another Martin Lawrence joint, solidifying his badboy/racist reputation. Other topics are talked about (including Zack Galifinakis joining the “Stop Dane Cook” movement), other shenanigans ensue.

A Conversation with Richard Sherman, Disney composer from “The Aristocats”
BY KEVIN CARR
Anyone who has seen the classic Disney films understands the importance of music in these movies. While it seems to be disappearing from the standard feature, the classic films have songs that are equally – or even more – famous than the movies themselves.
Songwriter Richard Sherman became a staff songwriter for Walt Disney in 1960. Along with his brother Robert, he was responsible for a large portion of the Disney vault of songs. From the infuriatingly infectious “It’s a Small World” to the tunes of “Mary Poppins,” the Sherman brothers helped write the songs that made the Disney films famous.

A Conversation with John Caparulo from “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show”
BY KEVIN CARR
A few years back, Hollywood star Vince Vaughn decided to do a good thing for a group of friends he had met while hanging out in the comedy clubs of Los Angeles. He spearheaded a cross-country comedy show featuring four up-and-coming comics. The show, dubbed “Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show,” hit 30 cities in 30 days, selling out across the country.
One of the comics featured in the show was Ohio-born John Caparulo, who was born in East Liverpool, Ohio (which can be found in the no-mans-land where Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia meet). Of course, few people outside of Ohio (and frankly, few people inside Ohio) know where East Liverpool is, so Caparulo generally calls himself a Cleveland boy.

On This Week’s Show: Neil returns from the very snowy, celebrity filled mountains of Utah to boast about rubbing elbows with Colin Farrell at the Sundance Film Festival. He also brings back a list of ten films that everyone should keep an eye on. The guys then review a bunch of films that neither of them have seen — further proof that studios fear their clout. Or their girth.
