The 10 Worst Films of 2012

Posted on



BY KEVIN CARR

While publicists and the film industry itself eagerly await the bevy of Best Films lists from critics, they’re less excited about our lists for the bottom of the barrel. But when there’s arguably more films that can make it on a Worst Films list, this can be a cathartic act for people like me. Where my Best Films list inevitably contains several animated titles, a new trend has shown up on my Worst Films list. Check out numbers 1, 2 and 3 and question whether I want to see another shaky-cam movie in the near future.

Fat Guy 5: Five Reasons Why ‘Chronicle’ Sucks Ass

Posted on

On This Episode: Kevin digs out the old Second Reel podcast and dusts it over, giving it a new coat of paint so it also works as a Fat Guy Five. After loathing the new film Chronicle, Kevin seeks out Steve “Gabe” Reeves, who also detested the film. Instead of finding diverse opinions on the subject (because, let’s face it… if you want to find Chronicle love, you can look at just about every other web site out there). Instead, they take the time to berate the film and rattle off the five reasons why it is turrible.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 50

Posted on

In this very special episode: It’s the big, fat 50th episode of The Idiot Boxers, so the Idiots proudly toast with glasses of donkey semen and urine to celebrate the event. (Trust us, after you listen to this show, it will all make sense to you.) They chat about how much they don’t care about the Super Bowl while Kevin discovers something amazing about Merrill and his dog. Then they talk TV news and are bewildered by some of the choices NBC is making in pilot season. Then, it’s off to review some shows while Kevin discusses the finer points of strip clubs in the Sound-Off segment. Finally, it’s an Idiot Recommendation before the Idiots look forward to another 50 episodes of the show.
