This Week: For the week after the Oscars, Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky for some intellectual discussion about this week’s films. Unfortunately, things derail fast in the third segment, which Kevin and Nick blame on the celluloid abortion known as Project X. There’s a brief moment of sensibility as they also talk about The Lorax, though the show is dominated by talk about extreme fetish pornography, gay racist Klingons and Shweddy Balls. They also chat a little about the Oscars and Kevin lists his favorite Dr. Seuss books. Then it’s into the final segment to talk DVDs and to give Nick a chance to swear on the radio.
