Episode 400 – Kim Jong-Un Should Be Kicked in the Nads

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: For Christmas this year, Kevin offers a fit of rage at North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, Sony Pictures, and Paramount Pictures. What a bunch of pussies, the lot of them! With a trifle of movie news and the trailer park out of the way, Kevin lays into the North Korean fiasco regarding the film The Interview and why we as a country let a spineless, corporation driven by profit alone dictate our foreign policy. Kevin examines the Sony hacking and how the media and readers became puppets of a foreign dictatorship. Then he lays out the reasons why backing down from empty threats was one of the worst ideas ever. (Spoiler alert: This will not be the last time someone tries this nonsense.) Later in the show, Kevin reviews the new movies, including The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Annie and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. Finally, he offers some thoughts on the box office and the DVD Round-Up. Ho! Ho! Holy shit!

This Week: Shaking off the hangover of Christmas, Kevin opens the gifts that Hollywood has given us in the last week of the year.

Kevin quickly moves on to talk about something more intellectual: Doctor Who. Later, Kevin reviews 47 Ronin, Grudge Match, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Wolf of Wall Street. In the final segment, Kevin reviews the past box office numbers, offers scant DVD and Blu-ray recommendations, then dissects the morality of Frosty the Snowman.
