This Week: Kevin and Kristin Dreyer Kramer start off talking about Halloween and trick-or-treat costumes. Soon, they move to the subject of the latest scary movie, Sinister. Then things get political as Iranian extremists take over the Magical Studio in the Sky and take the hosts hostage. While trapped, Kevin and Kristin talk about Argo, then fight their way to freedom with the skillz they learned from watching Kevin James in Here Comes the Boom. Safely back home, they give a preview to Seven Psychopaths and discuss the box office before moving on to DVDs and Blu-ray and riding off into the sunset.

This Week: Even though it’s Halloween weekend, Hollywood has moved on to a period piece, sci-fi action and children’s fare. Kevin invites Jim Napier from GeekTyrant and Napier’s News to join him to talk about the films bridging the gap between Halloween and the holiday season. They contemplate fractured fairy tales, Justin Timberlake’s acting ability and whether Shakespeare should have blown up more shit in his plays. Then they hit the middle segment to talk box office, key news items and lay down a Fat Guy Five about spin-offs. Finally, it’s the DVD Rundown and a ghoulish exit… though not really.

This Week: The Fat Guys affirm that they are friends but prefer to get their benefits elsewhere. But that doesn’t stop Neil from gushing over Natalie Portman like a chubby fifteen-year-old at Comic-Con. Kevin pooh-poohs the movie because he didn’t get a chance to see it, and he bemoans the fact that Neil has seen more movies this week. They also talk about Peter Weir and how flabbergasted Neil is by him, plus some wah-boo-hooing about The Company Men. Finally, after some box office predictions and a voice mail, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about which Hollywood hotties they’d like to have as friends with benefits.

On This Week’s Show: Neil makes his triumphant return to the Magical Studio in the Sky by not seeing any of the new films this week. Though he claims to have seen the trailers. Kevin weeps upon his arrival and then berates him for not seeing anything. Kevin also defends M. Night Shyamalan while Neil says really creepy things about Emma Stone. Out of protest, the Fat Guys get rid of the Alpha and Omega trailer before laying down a Fat Guy Five about actors-turned-directors.

On This Week’s Show: So here we are with another weekend of movies that Hollywood deemed unfit for critical consumption. Kevin and Neil call shenanigans on the studios this week in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Kevin had the gumption to go see the only press screening of Extract while Neil boycotted it out of principle. Word is that even the few press members who got to see Gamer had a chastity belt of a gag order, and All About Steve was only shown in limited markets. Meh! Such is Labor Day weekend. Go rent a DVD or Blu-ray instead of heading to the cinemas. There’s much more quality stuff out at the video store than in the theaters this week.
Films Reviewed this Week: Extract, Gamer and All About Steve
