Episode 298 – Why Would I Want to Put on Pants?

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin dust off the debris from the holidays and get back to the grind of work for the first show of 2013. They kick off the year by discussing two award films and one decidedly not-award film: Texas Chainsaw 3D, Promised Land and The Impossible. (You’ll have to guess which one isn’t up for any awards.) They also chat about Kevin’s insane projects for 2013, including his beefcake calender, as well as come up with some new Christmas traditions to start next year. Finally, they wrap things up with some DVD and Blu-ray ideas for gift-card purchases before saying good-bye for another week.

OSNAP #13: Dude, Seriously?

Posted on

OSNAP: Dude, Seriously?
Hanukkah continues in the Magical Studio in the Sky with Merrill rattling off memorized Hebrew sayings throughout the show. Kevin then grills Merrill about how Jewish people actually pray, and Merrill has no good answers for him. Kevin continues to talk about feeling conflicted and uncomfortable during the show, but things look up when he describes the awesomeness of slutty brownies (which he calls the turducken of desserts). Later, Kevin and Merrill complain a little more about bloggers who get jealous about silly things and others that want to recall geek cards from anyone who doesn’t bleed green-copper blood. Finally, Kevin caps off the show with a disturbing stripper story. Oh, snap!

OSNAP #12: I Yuv Big F*cks

OSNAP: I Yuv Big F*cks
Kevin and Merrill celebrate Hanukkah in the Magical Studio in the Sky by examining how much energy it takes to be Anti-Semitic. They also talk about the insane amount of energy that is needed to keep up with online drama and coordinate an “Elf of the Shelf” campaign for kids. All of this leads to the discovery that Kevin and Merrill are such nice guys because they are just too damn lazy to officially hate anyone or any group. They also look ahead to Award Season by talking about the multitude of “For Your Consideration” screeners that Kevin has received, and this leads Kevin to focus all of his lazy hatred on Judd Apatow and his latest film, This Is 40. There’s a brief apology to some loyal listeners for skimping on the stories about poop, porn and drunkenness. There’s also a revelation as to why Kevin’s youngest son swears so much. Oh, snap!

Episode 243 – Getting Chip-Faced

Posted on

This Week: As the holiday movie season swings into gear, Kevin invites Grae Drake from CNN, Movies.com and the Popcorn Mafia into the Magical Studio in the Sky to get chip-faced. They break down the new Sherlock Holmes movie before turning into chipmunks for the second segment. There, they give a squeaky-voiced review of the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie as well as the only non-sequel in wide release, Young Adult. In the infamous middle segment, they look at the Golden Globe-nominated Carnage before Grae totally geeks out over Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. They also talk about sundry things like the weirdest porn Kevin’s seen on the internet, why Muslim women shouldn’t handle a big studded cucumber and how award season is shaping up. It’s a classy show to say the least.
