Episode 400 – Kim Jong-Un Should Be Kicked in the Nads

Posted on December 19, 2014

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: For Christmas this year, Kevin offers a fit of rage at North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, Sony Pictures, and Paramount Pictures. What a bunch of pussies, the lot of them! With a trifle of movie news and the trailer park out of the way, Kevin lays into the North Korean fiasco regarding the film The Interview and why we as a country let a spineless, corporation driven by profit alone dictate our foreign policy. Kevin examines the Sony hacking and how the media and readers became puppets of a foreign dictatorship. Then he lays out the reasons why backing down from empty threats was one of the worst ideas ever. (Spoiler alert: This will not be the last time someone tries this nonsense.) Later in the show, Kevin reviews the new movies, including The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Annie and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. Finally, he offers some thoughts on the box office and the DVD Round-Up. Ho! Ho! Holy shit!

Episode 295 – He Don’t Talk Amurican

Posted on December 13, 2012

This Week: With only one major movie opening this week, Kevin and Kristin gather a team of dwarves and wizards to return to Middle Earth. There they talk about upper Michigan coldness with Deadfall and how handjobs and hot dogs changed American history in Hyde Park on Hudson. They also talk about that little independent film you’ve heard of called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. In keeping with the spirit of Peter Jackson, this episode is presented in 48fps (which stands for 48 fat pudgy spasms). Kevin and Kristin also chat about DVDs and Blu-rays and learn how to properly say French words in movie titles.
