Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil is still bustling through his undisclosed location in preparation of Fantastic Fest, so Kevin invites Shannon Hood from FrothyGirlz.com to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky. And there’s another unannounced surprise guest who makes an unscheduled appearance in the infamous third segment, utterly derailing the show. But Kevin and Shannon persevere, talking about Machete with the proper accent, Going the Distance with their thoughts on rom-coms and swooning over George Clooney in The American. Also, in honor of Danny Trejo, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about what it means to be a “that guy” in Hollywood. Oh, and Shannon gives us the scoop about Lindsay Lohan’s boobs.

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil find themselves in a pickle… both have seen all the movies this week, and they generally agree. This doesn’t stop them from taking a few pot shots at each other as Kevin accuses Neil of being a bigot against eight-foot-tall blue aliens. Neither Fat Guy gets laid off, but that doesn’t stop them from enjoying the new George Clooney film. Huzzah!

Episode 140 – 2012 Pounds

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil meet up in the Magical Studio in the Sky for an epic show about the end of the world. They gush (sort of) over Roland Emmerich’s movies and dance a jig around how awesome Fantastic Mr. Fox is. And Neil takes to the high seas in support of Pirate Radio while Kevin grumbles after not being offered a press screening. They lay down a Fat Guy Five about Roland Emmerich’s best movies, examine the box office numbers and even read an iTunes review and listen to a listener voice mail, proving that the phone number does work. Save us, John Cusack!

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil say good-bye to scary movies (well, not really, considering two are released this week) and decide to ring in the Christmas season early. They stare at some goats, grumble about not being allowed to open a box, visit the uncanny valley and debate whether Kevin is spoiling the viewing experience for The Fourth Kind. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about awesome UFO movies, and Kevin gloats over Neil’s not-so-accurate box office predictions from last week.

Episode 82 – Righteous Fat Guys

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Accusations fly as Kevin and Neil try to explain why each other isn’t a fan of Tyler Perry’s films. They also discuss the finer points of who they’d rather make out with – Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino. Kevin wishes himself a happy birthday but bemoans what day his birthday actually falls on. Finally, they both take up the cause on trying to offend one of their listeners who claims to never get offended. Oh, and they review some films as well… at least the ones the studio screened.
