Steve Spielberg’s Oscar-nominated film about the negotiation for a prisoner exchange during the Cold War is a slow burn but very effectively done, featuring some fantastic performances by Tom Hanks and Mark Rylance. If you missed this one in theaters, it’s very much worth checking out in your home cinema. Special features include behind-the-scenes featurettes about the Cold War and the effects of the U-2 plane crash.

This Week: Kevin invites Devindra Hardawar from Slashfilmcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. In a strange twist of events, the conversation goes first into a discussion of technology, then into a uncharacteristically relevant and respectful talk about the movies of the week. Kevin and Devindra chat about the odd paths of David Gordon Green’s career with The Sitter and roll their eyes at New Year’s Eve. Then they lament Kevin not loving Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy before moving into the infamous (and unnaturally clean) middle segment to talk box office and answer a Facebook question. After laying out a Fat Guy Five, Kevin and Devindra rattle through the DVD Rundown and send the audience on its way into the great beyond.

On April 8, Fat Guy Kevin Carr rolled into the FOX 28 studios in Columbus, Ohio for a weekly movie review segment. This week, he talked about Arthur, Hanna, Sould Surfer and Your Highness.
Check out Kevin’s TV appearance here:
This Week: Kevin invites Elisabeth “Rattlesnake” Rappe from Chud.com and Film.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about alcoholics in movies, ass-kicking kids and faaaaaabulous hair-dos in fantasy films. The show is promptly derailed only a few minutes in when Elisabeth reminds Kevin about his bottled-up feelings for 80s-era Grace Jones, and Elisabeth opens up about certain films on late-night Cinemax later in the show. They also find time to talk about Arthur, Hanna, Your Highness and Soul Surfer as well as David Bowie’s alarming codpiece from Labyrinth. It’s a crazy time this week on Fat Guys!
