Episode 139 – The Fat Kind
On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil say good-bye to scary movies (well, not really, considering two are released this week) and decide to ring in the Christmas season early. They stare at some goats, grumble about not being allowed to open a box, visit the uncanny valley and debate whether Kevin is spoiling the viewing experience for The Fourth Kind. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about awesome UFO movies, and Kevin gloats over Neil’s not-so-accurate box office predictions from last week.

Episode 96 – The Tale of Seven Hundred Pound Fat Men
On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil wind down through a massive month of movies, commenting on everything from characters’ heart conditions to tattooed strippers past their prime (but still fun to watch). Kevin laughs at Neil, who has offended one of their biggest fans… twice. They take some swipes at Will Smith, try to figure out the connection between big-eared mice and soup, and they welcome Jim Carrey back from the brink of The Number 23. Kevin bemoans the fact that he contributed a significant sum to the weekend box office of Delgo, and Neil defends his ambiguously gay DVD picks of the week.

Episode 56 – Fat Guys Hear a Who
On This Week’s Show: This week, Neil Miller is still in Austin, stalking indie rock chicks and Kristen Bell. David Medsker from Bullz-eye.com drops by the Magical Studio in the Sky to keep Kevin company and talk about everything from kind elephants to deranged psychopaths who torment vacationing families. On the show, Kevin and Dave show some love for Horton Hears a Who, show some hatred for Funny Games and show some indifference to Never Back Down. And Neil chimes in with a poorly engineered yet very insightful update from SXSW. Fellow fat guys Brian Gibson from FSR and Peter Sciretta from /Film are Neil’s guests.
