BY KEVIN CARR
10. Paranormal Activity

Episode 110 – Fat Guys!: The Story of Fat Guys
On This Week’s Show: Neil comes out swinging, preparing to defend the good name of Observe and Report from Kevin’s bile. Meanwhile, Kevin defends Hannah Montana as best a fat guy can while neither of them have anything to say at all about Dragonball: Evolution. But all come together in praise of Anvil!: The Story of Anvil, which is declared to be the best new release of the week. Neil replays his G4 appearance by giving us the scoop of his sneak peek at the new Star Trek movie (aren’t you jealous?) while Kevin scoffs at the idea of Megan Fox playing She-Hulk.
Films Reviewed this Week: Hannah Montana: The Movie, Observe and Report, Dragonball: Evolution and Anvil!: The Story of Anvil.
