This Week: It’s Halloweekend, and that means it’s time for a new Saw film! No, we didn’t jump in a time machine and go back to 2008! Lionsgate has given us the new film Jigsaw to reboot the franchise, and Kevin gives his thoughts about it. He also talks about everything from new films – Suburbicon, Thank You For Your Service, The Truth About Lies and The Babysitter – to David S. Pumpkins! Later, he offers some suggestions for the home cinema for Halloween, and he scares himself silly. Boo!*

Episode 252 – Vomit Bullets and Wee-Wee Fire

Posted on

This Week: It is a dark time for movie reviewers. Being the middle of February, most of the releases are absolute crap, and the studios haven’t screened them. But that doesn’t stop honey-badger reviewer Kevin Carr from pushing ahead with the Fat Guys at the Movies podcast. He invites Ronald Nicholls from BoxOfficeBuz.com to not review the new films this week, including Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance (which was not screened for anyone, and that’s the studio that screened Jack and Jill) and This Means War (which suffered from marketing confusion and botched Valentine’s Day screenings). They also tip their hats to The Secret World of Arrietty, which is probably all kinds of awesome, but Disney didn’t screen it much because it is such a limited release. Kevin and Ron also answer a listener question, talk about the box office and list some of the best Studio Ghibli movies in the Fat Guy Five.

On This Week’s Show: Neil and Kevin wage war on the machines… and McG with some scathing analysis of Terminator: Salvation. Then they move onto the movies that Neil hasn’t seen: Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian and Dance Flick.
