This Week: Kevin and Kristin pull out their Oscar ballots and make predictions on the big awards. But before they face the Argo/Lincoln conundrum, they take a look at the two terrible movies new to theaters this week: Snitch and Dark Skies. They also throw some DVD and Blu-ray suggestions in there for good measure, along with a listener email. And Kevin also tries to channel Tyler Perry to disastrous effect.

This Week: Taking full credit for the end of the world not happening last week, Kevin and Kristin triumphantly return to the Magical Studio in the Sky to celebrate the end of the year. Of course, with all the movies already opening on Christmas Day (which was this past Tuesday, folks), they’re a little behind already. That doesn’t stop them from talking about Parental Guidance, Django Unchained and Les Miserables, which Kevin cannot pronounce. They also talk about the great cinematic moments of 2012 and look ahead to what they’re anticipating in 2013.

This Week: As Kevin girds his loins for the much-anticipated release of The Dark Knight Rises, he invites fellow Film School Reject Brian Salisbury to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the latest Batman installment. They also throw down about various fanboy battles, including where they stand on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, M. Night Shyamalan’s career and James Bond theme songs. After dissecting The Dark Knight Rises in a very spoiler-free way (though there might be an Inception spoiler or two in there) before answering a listener email and laying out the Fat Guy Five about overhyped films. Then it’s on to the last segment, where they recommend some DVDs and fly off into the night using their Batarangs.

This Week: Kevin gets ready to take on the onslaught of 3D movies this weekend with the help of Emily from Gleekcast, who is fresh off of seeing the Glee: The 3D Concert Movie. (See… someone paid to see it this past week.) They ramble through a variety of topics, including gambling in Vegas, British accents and the great 80s conflict of Star Wars versus The SuperFriends. They also manage to talk about all the new movies this week, lay down a Fat Guy Five about great vampire hunters and suggest some awesome (and not-so-awesome) DVDs and Blu-rays.
