Posted on January 1, 2016

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin dresses up in his Baby New Year diaper and rings in 2016 with a final accounting of the last films to be released: The Hateful Eight and Anomalisa. Of course, he can’t start this without some Star Wars talk, so he deconstructs Carrie Fisher’s tantrum on Twitter and mansplains why there are not as many girl characters in the toy market. Later, he breaks down the Best and Worst of 2015 before offering his wisdom on box office predictions and the home cinema recommendations. Happy New Year!

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin runs around, giddy as a schoolgirl, celebrating the release of a new Star Wars movie, but he also makes sure to talk about some of the other films going up against this juggernaut at the box office. After looking at some scant news, he dissects the problems with the Star Trek Beyond teaser (and the damage control that followed) and gives a thumbs up to Independence Day Resurgence, Kevin launches into reviews of Alvin and the Chipmunks (in full-on chipmunk voice), Body, Sisters and of course Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Later, he gives his insane predictions about the box office and offers some home cinema suggestions.

Episode 331 – A Madhouse!

Posted on August 23, 2013

This Week: The crazy month of August just got crazier in the Magical Studio in the Sky. After rattling through the bizarre box office from last week, Kristin and Kevin chat about bit about some Star Wars news that makes them feel weird inside. Then, they do their own pub crawl while discussing The World’s End and how it stacks up to the rest of Edgar Wright’s films. Then, they breeze through the awful The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones before having a smack-down about You’re Next. Later, they make wildly inaccurate box office predictions before heading into the DVD Round-Up… which Kevin screws up.

Episode 307 – Crusty Drawers

Posted on March 8, 2013

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.
