This Week: In the doldrums of summer, Kevin is wandering aimlessly because there were no screenings for any of the movies opening for Labor Day weekend. So he invites fellow live-tweeter Leonard Wilson into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about whatever they can figure out from the trailers of the movies. Later, they examine Olivia Munn’s career and what she could do to get more exposure (if you know what they mean). Then they talk about the box office of the previous week and also lay down a Fat Guy Five about children’s films that adults can enjoy as well as kids. Then, in the final segment, they run down a slew of DVDs and Blu-rays before saying good-bye for another week.

This Week: As Kevin girds his loins for the much-anticipated release of The Dark Knight Rises, he invites fellow Film School Reject Brian Salisbury to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the latest Batman installment. They also throw down about various fanboy battles, including where they stand on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, M. Night Shyamalan’s career and James Bond theme songs. After dissecting The Dark Knight Rises in a very spoiler-free way (though there might be an Inception spoiler or two in there) before answering a listener email and laying out the Fat Guy Five about overhyped films. Then it’s on to the last segment, where they recommend some DVDs and fly off into the night using their Batarangs.

This Week: Recovering from a weekend of eating hard boiled eggs and Easter candy, Kevin invites new guest Vish into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about genre films, bullying and the travesty that is The Three Stooges. They sound-off about sci-fi movies and then Kevin gushes over his love of the horror genre with a spoiler-free review of The Cabin in the Woods. In the infamous middle segment, Kevin pushes around Bully while Vish offers a different cultural view of bullying. They also talk about box office, what British spies have to do with Sid Vicious and a Fat Guy Five which ranks the real Three Stooges. Then it’s off to the DVD Round-Up and bidding farewell.

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.
