This Week: Kevin and Kristin preside over the cleanest episode yet. In fact, it’s Zestfully clean. Kevin and Kristin also forget to tell anyone how to get a hold of them, but they correct that soon enough. They eventually get around to talking about movies, like the weirdly political Killing Them Softly and the not-at-all political The Collection. This leads them all to British-speaking Russia, where they talk about Joe Wright’s adaptation of Anna Karenina. Finally, they make some wildly inaccurate box office predictions before talking about some of the new DVDs and Blu-rays released this week.

This Week: Kevin takes the show international again with the help of Andrew Robinson from Gmanreviews.com. Reaching across the Caribbean Sea, Andrew comes to the Magical Studio in the Sky to bring the official word of what’s cool in theaters this week from the land of Trinidad and Tobago. Kevin and Andrew talk about Taylor Lautner’s abs in Abduction, Clive Owen’s mustache in Killer Elite, a dolphin’s tail in Dolphin Tale and Brad Pitt’s monkey balls in Moneyball. In the middle segment, things sail off the rails as Kevin shares too much (again!) about his extra-curricular activities before they lay down a Fat Guy Five about cool movie prosthetics (and yes, you can guess what some of these are). Finally, Kevin and Andrew throw out their DVD picks and try to reclaim the show before we send you off into the universe.

This Week: Kevin decides to go classy for this episode of Fat Guys at the Movies, so he invites new father Ryan Gallagher from CriterionCast.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the new movies this week, including a balanced discussion of The Tree of Life. But before the Malick fireworks fly, they take a look at Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer as well as the much-anticipated Super 8. They also talk about fatherhood, box office, DVD picks and a Fat Guy Five featuring ensemble kids casts.

On This Week’s Show: Neil Miller shows up in the Magical Studio in the Sky to lay down the gauntlet to Kevin Carr. After seeing movies almost exclusively at film festivals two or three times a year, Neil declares himself worthy because he’s seen two movies in limited release, compared to Kevin seeing two major releases for the week. Not surprisingly, neither one has seen the new Tyler Perry film, thanks to Lionsgate’s “we don’t screen our movies” policy. But the competent movie discussion soon deteriorates as Neil makes a Taxicab Confession about Star Wars in the infamous middle segment whilst laying down one of the best Fat Guy Fives in months.

This week, for the Fat Guy 5, we take a break from superhero movies. After all, there are plenty of lists out there about best superhero movies, superheroes who can kick ass and why Kick-Ass is the most awesomest fanboy film since Watchmen. Instead, the Fat Guys have broken with the status quo and are delivering a Fat Guy 5 inspired by Death at a Funeral.
This new… er, sort of new film shows us that not only can death be funny, but death in a movie can be hilarious. And that got us thinking about some of the bests movie deaths around. The rest is history…
