Posted on

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin starts of the awesome show with a little bit of somberness, as he makes a serious discussion about the whole Woody Allen fiasco. Later, he slows things down again to pay his respects to Philip Seymour Hoffman and Maximilian Schell. However, things look up when he takes a peek at a couple Super Bowl movie spots and later reviews The Lego Movie and The Monuments Men. He also attempts to review Vampire Academy, though discovers a massive conspiracy by the Weinsteins to hide the movie from… well, everyone. Later, he gives his sure-to-be-perfect box office prediction and rounds up some DVDs and Blu-rays. Awesome!

Episode 329 – Research!

Posted on

This Week: It’s another big week in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Hollywood has clobbered Kristin and Kevin with a massive slate of four new movies this week, complete with a challenging screening schedule. Along with talking about We’re the Millers, Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, Planes and Elysium, Kevin and Kristin face a deluge of news stories. Topics include asshole venture capitalists who want to allow tweeting and texting during movies, asshole movie stars who blame critics for their failures and asshole movie producers who want to butcher foreign films for the non-existent Midwest foreign films market. Oh, and DVDs.

Episode 298 – Why Would I Want to Put on Pants?

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin dust off the debris from the holidays and get back to the grind of work for the first show of 2013. They kick off the year by discussing two award films and one decidedly not-award film: Texas Chainsaw 3D, Promised Land and The Impossible. (You’ll have to guess which one isn’t up for any awards.) They also chat about Kevin’s insane projects for 2013, including his beefcake calender, as well as come up with some new Christmas traditions to start next year. Finally, they wrap things up with some DVD and Blu-ray ideas for gift-card purchases before saying good-bye for another week.

Episode 277 – Did I Share Too Much?

Posted on

This Week: The summer is almost over, so the last days of summer movies are upon us. Kevin invited Michelle McCue into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the new movies of the week, including The Campaign, The Bourne Legacy and Hope Springs. They also chat a bit about movie trends, including the rush to push everything to a 2013 release date and what Joss Whedon needs to be careful of in his quest to make Avengers 2. Then, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about celebrities they don’t want to see having sex before handing out some DVD and Blu-ray selections and going on their merry way.
