Episode 278 – Zlopp!

Posted on

This Week: As Kevin looks ahead to the end of summer and sending his kids back to school, he invites mild-mannered history teacher Trevor Schoenfeld (who, on his off-hours, turns into Schofizzy the movie blogger) into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They chat about the number of new films coming out this week, including ParaNorman, Sparkle, The Expendables 2 and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. They also spend part of the first segment singing the praises of Twitter while they spend a chunk of the middle segment singing the praises of stop-motion animation. After laying down a Fat Guy Five about stop-motion animation, they lay down some classic DVD and Blu-ray picks before packing their bags and heading off to school.

The 10 Best Films of 2009

Posted on



BY KEVIN CARR

10. Paranormal Activity
The theme for this year in my moviegoing adoration was the return of the theatrical experience, and “Paranormal Activity” was a tiny little film that made it big because of this. If you didn’t see this movie in a dark theater with 250 of your closest friends, you were really missing out.

9. Anvil: The Story of Anvil
Each year, a special documentary seems to make it on my list. This year’s pick is “Anvil: The Story of Anvil.” It’s a tender story of a real-life “Spinal Tap” with a bit of “American Movie” mixed in. I dare you to watch it and not root for the guys in the greatest metal band that never was.

Episode 102 – A Fat Guy Reunion of Sorts

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil finally returns to the Magical Studio in the Sky with stories from the land of milk and honey, otherwise known as the Sundance Film Festival. Kevin celebrates the return by berating him for only seeing one movie this week, although Neil defends himself because he saw 143 movies at the festival. They explore topics like Steve Martin filling Peter Sellers’ shoes, why Neil wants to buy Maggie Grace from an international slavery ring and how it seems the best scene this week featuring Dakota Fanning requires her to be drunk. And even though Kevin missed Neil greatly, he refuses to hug him without his shirt on, unlike those swishy pilots from the 80s classic Top Gun.

Films Reviewed this Week: Pink Panther 2, Coraline, Push and He’s Just Not That Into You.
