Episode 271 – You’re Not as Civilized as Us, Ladies

Posted on

This Week: It’s counter-programming week at the movies, and Kevin is facing male strippers, foul-mouthed teddy bears, heartwarming movies and Madea. He turns to Ronald Nicholls from BoxOfficeBuz.com to help fend off these movies… mostly. They talk about how much more evolved men are compared to women, at least when it comes to stripper movies, and they also give an unexpectedly lengthy break-down about what Madea means to movies. In the infamous middle segment, Kevin rolls the dice on box office predictions, they chat about Pixar movies and then they lay down a Fat Guy Five about movies based on toys. Finally, it’s the DVD Rundown, where Ronald finally drops an f-bomb, and they send you off into the sunset.

Episode 257 – Entertaining My Pants Right Off

Posted on

This Week: Being that Kevin is an expert on hunger, which is something he feels when he isn’t able to stuff his face for an hour or so, he eagerly awaits a discussion of the new film The Hunger Games. Also, since Kevin has no time to read anything more than picture books (because you’ll remember he read The Lorax several weeks ago), he invites Film School Rejects’ Associate Editor Kate Erbland into the Magical Studio in the Sky to discuss the book and film. They also give some restrained box office predictions and lay down a Fat Guy Five about movies that involve fighting to the death. Are you not entertained?

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin invites Marco Cerritos into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the new movies and swear all over the radio segments. Of course, when it comes time for the middle segment, Kevin unloads on the profanity as they talk urban dictionary slang for sex acts, road rage and eventually finish out the show with a look into Jodie Foster’s Beaver (yeah, that joke never gets old). They also talk about the new movies Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, Our Idiot Brother and Colombiana before laying down a Fat Guy Five about some loveable movie idiots.
