On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin wage war on the machines… and McG with some scathing analysis of Terminator: Salvation. Then they move onto the movies that Neil hasn’t seen: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Dance Flick. They also give some love for DVDs, tease the audience with an upcoming interview with William Sanderson from HBO’s True Blood and lay out a Fat Guy Five – sequels that should have never been made!

Episode 90 – Fatagascar: Fat 2 Africa

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil reconnect in the Virtual Studio in the Sky. Neil insists it’s still magic while Kevin revels in the fact he can do the show in his underwear. Because Soul Men wasn’t screened for them, they spend their review time bidding adieu to Bernie Mac, who is in two new releases this week. Neil gives us his inaugural “Fat Guy Five” list, featuring his favorite CGI movies while Kevin attempts to derail him with the comedy antics of American History X.

Films Reviewed this Week: Madagascar: Back 2 Africa, Role Models and Soul Men.

Episode 78 – Fly Me to the Tropic Clone Fatness

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil brace themselves for an onslaught of films, from the big studio releases to some independent ones. Neil hates on the Clone Wars while Kevin hates on Henry Poole. Controversy is all over the place as Kevin calls for a boycott of Tropic Thunder due to insensitivity to fat people while Neil takes some shots at Tim Shriver. Nothing is sacred, and everyone should be offended at this week’s Fat Guys at the Movies.

Films Reviewed this Week: Tropic Thunder, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Fly Me to the Moon, Mirrors, Henry Poole Is Here and Vicky Christina Barcelona.
