Episode 308 – Atrocities Committed on Yoda

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin face a massive wall of movies to review (and by “massive,” we mean “three and a half”). But before they hit on the new releases, they give their take on the box office, and Kevin quickly reviews the films from the previous week that were not screened. Kristin and Kevin also sound off about the groundbreaking fundraising for the Veronica Mars movie and what that means for other director. Then it’s right into movie reviews of Stoker, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone and The Call. Finally, Kevin confesses his show choir history, and Kristin recounts the strange kidnapping of Yoda by her Smurfs. Things then wrap up with Kevin blundering the DVD Round-Up. It’s a hot mess this week in the Magical Studio in the Sky.

Episode 279 – Cupcake

Posted on

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.

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil gets embroiled in the fest known for being fantastic, so Kevin tracks down former guest-host Kelly Gingery from FlickChick.tv to join him in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Together, they sink their teeth into You Again and debate what they want to see in Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Also, Kevin gushes over the new 3D CGI flick Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’Hoole while Kelly gushes over George Clooney (again!). Then they talk a bit about box office and lay down a Fat Guy Five that’s none too flattering to Jamie Lee Curtis.

Episode 150 – The Edge of Fatness

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: Neil is still off gallivanting at Sundance TwentyTen, so Kevin welcomes Merrill Barr from The Film Stage to the Magical Studio in the Sky. Surprise, surprise: Merrill has seen more movies than Neil normally does, and together he and Kevin discuss Edge of Darkness and When In Rome. The discussion inexplicably turns to relevant film issues like the development of 3D, the branching technology of Blu-rays and how much Merrill doesn’t like romantic comedies or Mel Gibson as a director.
