This Week: The Halloween month continues, and so does at least one horror movie release. Even though it wasn’t screened locally, Kevin and Kristin talk about the Carrie remake as well as the goofy prison movie Escape Plan with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other films on the docket include The Fifth Estate, which they swear they didn’t stream off a pirate server, and Paradise which puts Julianne Hough’s acting ability against that of Russell Brand playing Kevin’s father. Then, it’s on to DVD recommendations and some bizarre news shenanigans involving Madonna, the real Captain Phillips and Charlie Hunnam opening a path to Kevin’s superstardom as a motion picture sex symbol.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin suffer through the doldrums of September with no advanced screening of Riddick, leading to wild speculation that it’ll be just like the other movies. Additional films for your viewing choices include the sister productions of Hell Baby and The Ultimate Life. Of course, Kevin and Kristin couldn’t get through a show without telling the audience what they think of the Internet-destroying casting announcements for 50 Shades of Gray. Oh, and DVDs and Blu-rays. That too, yah, yah.
