This Week: Long-time guest-host Kristen Dreyer Kramer joins Kevin in the Magical Studio in the Sky for a week in September that doesn’t suck with new movie releases. They chew through the releases of Hotel Transylvania, Looper, Won’t Back Down and the limited release Pitch Perfect this week. You won’t believe what was Kevin’s favorite, and you also won’t believe the bizarre connection between Looper and Kirk Cameron. They also read another piece of hate mail for Kevin, driven with rage about his review of The Master. Finally, they chat about DVDs and Blu-rays while describing how Kevin plans to retire to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.

This Week: At the dawn of a new podcasting age, Kevin invites Merrill Barr back to the Magical Studio in the Sky to look at the dog days of summer movies. They also tease their new podcast that will start in September: OSNAP. Then they look at the new movies, including Premium Rush, Hit & Run and The Apparition. After Merrill swears up a storm during the radio segments, they launch into the Internet-only segment where they develop new swear words and talk box office. Merrill gets uncomfortable with sex talk again, so they move into the Fat Guy Five about scary movies. Then what’s left is the DVD Round-Up and riding off into the sunset.

This Week: As Kevin girds his loins for the much-anticipated release of The Dark Knight Rises, he invites fellow Film School Reject Brian Salisbury to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the latest Batman installment. They also throw down about various fanboy battles, including where they stand on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, M. Night Shyamalan’s career and James Bond theme songs. After dissecting The Dark Knight Rises in a very spoiler-free way (though there might be an Inception spoiler or two in there) before answering a listener email and laying out the Fat Guy Five about overhyped films. Then it’s on to the last segment, where they recommend some DVDs and fly off into the night using their Batarangs.

This Week: Kevin continues on his streak with international guests in the Magical Studio in the Sky. This week, he invites Ronald Nicholls from BoxOfficeBuz.com all the way from Calgary. Together, they chat about cancer, Taylor Lautner and a completely healthy obsession with Anna Faris. Ron also takes home the crown for delivering the longest middle segment ever in Fat Guys history, which is much more pleasant than being awarded the middle segment in a human centipede. Kevin and Ron chat about 50/50, Dream House and What’s Your Number? before stumbling cluelessly through the box office segment and delivering a somewhat offensive Fat Guy Five. Then it’s back to the DVDs before sending anyone still listening off into the sunset.

This Week: After months of live-tweeting movies on Saturday nights together, Kevin invites Mel Valentin from eFilmCritic.com and SFStation.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to dissect films properly. Together, they bemoan the inaccurate name of Screen Gems when they reflect upon not getting a screening of Priest. Then they disagree about films like Bridesmaids and Everything Must Go, with a nod to Hesher. They also answer a listener voicemail from the elusive Steve-Gabe before swerving into a discussion about whether Joss Whedon can handle The Avengers. Finally, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about ass-kicking religious figures in films before handing out some DVD recommendations.
