This Week: Prepping for the big Memorial Day movie weekend, Kevin invites a real pro into the Magical Studio in the Sky: Grae Drake from the Popcorn Mafia, Fandango and Movies.com. They butt heads about Will Smith and Men in Black 3 and commiserate over not getting a screening of Chernobyl Diaries. Grae shares the reasons why Will Smith is awesome at junkets and Tommy Lee Jones is a grumpy old man. They also dissect the validity of Battleship as a big summer movie and Taylor Kitsch’s viability as a big movie star. And Grae gives her two cents about Wes Anderson’s violent children’s love story Moonrise Kingdom. Then they pimp-slap down a shiznit of a Fat Guys Five about 90s movies that deserve a sequel now. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up before they ride off into the sunset.

This Week: Even though school is still in session, it’s full-on summer movie season in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him to talk about the new summer blockbusters. They laugh about The Dictator and roll their eyes at What to Expect When You’re Expecting. They also bemoan the big, dumb actioner Battleship and it’s star Brooklyn Decker, whom Nick politely refers to as “the camel toe girl.” Then in the middle segment, things go off the rails as they talk about ginormous breasts, strip clubs, box office, Harry Potter and Nick having his way with Bobby Fischer. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about what board games should be made into movies. Finally, back on the radio, they talk DVDs and Blu-rays before riding off into the sunset.
