Posted on September 9, 2016

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin stares September in the face and dares it to show him its movies. September, of course, does not flinch, so he’s only had a chance to see a couple of them. (What might they be hiding.) Fortunately, he was able to see Sully as well as Complete Unknown and Our Little Sister. The films that hid from him this week are the sure-to-be-bad The Wild Life, When the Bough Breaks and The Disappointments Room. Kevin also takes a look at the encroachment of other holidays on Halloween, and later he talks about the box office and the home cinema recommendations.

OSNAP #8: Sandy, That Bitch!

Posted on October 31, 2012

OSNAP: Sandy, That Bitch!
This week on OSNAP, Kevin and Merrill are ducking and weaving from Mother Nature, avoiding the impact of the Frankenstorm known as Sandy. (Seriously, a deadly Frankenstorm with such a pretty little name?) They record their first annual Halloween episode early, and pretty much talk about the weather. They also talk about how Merrill’s dog is able to outsmart every member of his family. Kevin ties the conversation to South Park twice, bemoaning the current netherworld between physical media and streaming awesomeness. He also makes a shocking comment about Christina Hendricks’ boobs. Merrill tells another bullying story from his youth, and Kevin uncovers yet another sign of the apocalypse via RottenTomatoes.com. Oh, snap!

Other films they break down sight-unseen include Silent Hill: Revelation, Fun Size and the Gerard Butler accent-fest Chasing Mavericks. After going through some box office surprises, they run down the DVDs, during which Kevin admits to his unnatural fascination with Tinkerbell.

Posted on October 4, 2012

This Week: Kevin and Kristin Dreyer Kramer meet up once again in the Magical Studio in the Sky for the first weekend in October, getting ready for Halloween.

After they talk about a month of scary movies, Kevin and Kristin trick-and-treat about the new movies of the week, including Taken 2, Frankenweenie and the limited theatrical release of V/H/S. They also talk about weird connections between mummies and grade school textbooks, Kevin’s 31 Days of Horror, the ability of Gary Busey to outlive his co-stars and why Kevin might start wearing a tie. Then it’s all about DVDs, which includes some of Kevin’s favorite monster movies. Kristin, however, looks on questionably with pink hair and a flannel shirt.
