This Week: It’s another big week in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Hollywood has clobbered Kristin and Kevin with a massive slate of four new movies this week, complete with a challenging screening schedule. Along with talking about We’re the Millers, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Planes and Elysium, Kevin and Kristin face a deluge of news stories. Topics include asshole venture capitalists who want to allow tweeting and texting during movies, asshole movie stars who blame critics for their failures and asshole movie producers who want to butcher foreign films for the non-existent Midwest foreign films market. Oh, and DVDs.

In this very special very special episode: Merrill invites Jason Tabrys from NerdBastards.com and the soon to be relaunched bastardcast podcast into the magical studio in the sky to talk pickups.
[audio:http://merrillbarr.com/merrill/ib/pickups.mp3]On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil are recovering from the righteous wind storm that swept through the Midwest… or at least they’re using that as an excuse for not having seen all the movies this week. They unleash their wrath on Lionsgate and the Weinsteins for not screening films, and they give a little love for Sam Jackson and Ricky Gervais because their films were screened. There’s a nod to Stuart Townsend for his film in the indie spotlight (that both Kevin and Neil saw), and Kevin confesses his childhood trauma from Gordon Jump’s guest spot on Diff’rent Strokes. Oh no! Mister Carlson!
Films Reviewed this Week: Lakeview Terrace, Ghost Town, Battle in Seattle, My Best Friend’s Girl and Igor.

On This Week’s Show: We seek out more ways to be offensive, including calling more Kevin Carr on racial issues, more Neil on religious differences and more banter about Dane Cook’s… uh, career as an actor. We also run down Ten Movie Franchises That Have Officially Jumped The Shark. Will Saw make the list? One of us certainly thinks so…
Films Reviewed this Week: Dan in Real Life, Saw IV, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and The Darjeeling Limited.
