Episode 293 – Zestfully Clean

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin preside over the cleanest episode yet. In fact, it’s Zestfully clean. Kevin and Kristin also forget to tell anyone how to get a hold of them, but they correct that soon enough. They eventually get around to talking about movies, like the weirdly political Killing Them Softly and the not-at-all political The Collection. This leads them all to British-speaking Russia, where they talk about Joe Wright’s adaptation of Anna Karenina. Finally, they make some wildly inaccurate box office predictions before talking about some of the new DVDs and Blu-rays released this week.

Episode 209 – Shags Versus Mullets

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin invites Elisabeth “Rattlesnake” Rappe from Chud.com and Film.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about alcoholics in movies, ass-kicking kids and faaaaaabulous hair-dos in fantasy films. The show is promptly derailed only a few minutes in when Elisabeth reminds Kevin about his bottled-up feelings for 80s-era Grace Jones, and Elisabeth opens up about certain films on late-night Cinemax later in the show. They also find time to talk about Arthur, Hanna, Your Highness and Soul Surfer as well as David Bowie’s alarming codpiece from Labyrinth. It’s a crazy time this week on Fat Guys!
