This Week: Inspired by last week’s new movie A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas, Kevin invites Ike from the It’s Mike and Ike podcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They start off with no rehearsal, much to the chagrin of Brett Ratner. They take some pot shots at the new movies, including J. Edgar and Immortals, but nothing compares to Ike’s rage-fueled rant about Jack and Jill. Kevin and Ike continue into the highly offensive middle segment where they suggest how to make an Oscar ceremony worth watching. Then they lay down an impromptu Fat Guy Five about the best racist characters in cinema history. Finally, they wrap things up with the DVD Round-Up and send the listeners on their merry way.
