fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin rings in the new year with some new news that’s really old news. This would be the hubbub about a potential black James Bond.

New films reviewed include The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, [REC]4: Apocalypse, A Most Violent Year and a better-late-than-never review of The Interview. Later in the show, Kevin gives a tease of his 10 Best and 10 Worst Films of 2014 before offering some box office mojo and the world-famous (but very thin) DVD Round-Up! Happy 2015!

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin pulls back the veil on his swanky job as a movie reviewer and gives the audience some keen insight on what happens when a studio doesn’t want an audience to see its movie (cough… cough… No Good Deed). He also talks about how smaller independent companies market their movies that have a proven track record of audiences staying away (cough… cough… Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?). And then there’s reviews of The Drop, Dolphin Tale 2 and Life After Beth as well. Kevin also talks movie news (mostly superhero stuff), eulogizes Richard Kiel, answers another listener question, looks at new trailers, examines last week’s box office and recommends some DVDs and Blu-rays.
