On This Week’s Show: Accusations fly as Kevin and Neil try to explain why each other isn’t a fan of Tyler Perry’s films. They also discuss the finer points of who they’d rather make out with – Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino. Kevin wishes himself a happy birthday but bemoans what day his birthday actually falls on. Finally, they both take up the cause on trying to offend one of their listeners who claims to never get offended. Oh, and they review some films as well… at least the ones the studio screened.
Films Reviewed this Week: The Women, The Family that Preys, Righteous Kill and Burn After Reading.
