This Week: Kevin and Kristin come to the full realization that the movie doldrums of August are upon us, knowing that the studios only screened one of the four films this week.

To fill time, they also talk about some news stories as well as answer a listener question, which makes Kevin squirm as he tries to talk around naughty bits for the radio.
