This Week: Kevin takes a break from talking too much about gender politics in Hollywood (though not completely) to run down some development and TV news. Then he looks at trailers for some fall movies, one which may be unexpected good and another that will have fans freaking out with holographic rage. Later, Kevin reviews a huge slate of big and small films, including Mad Max: Fury Road, Pitch Perfect 2, Far From the Madding Crowd, I Am Big Bird: The Caroll Spinney Story, Animals and Echoes of War. Finally, Kevin explains why the Bellas might beat the Avengers at the box office before unleashing his Cylon raiders on the galaxy-famous DVD Round-Up!

This Week: Kevin and Kristin run all a-sparkle into the Magical Studio in the Sky to squeal and discuss the latest and (God help us) last Twilight movie: Breaking Dawn: Part II. But before that, Kevin shares his war stories of surviving the near-deadly Red Dawn Brawl of 2012 (which was quite possibly as crazy as the I Am Legend Scuffle Kerfuffle of 2007). They also talk about Silver Linings Playbook and Kevin gloats about his accuracy in James Bond box office predictions. Then, it’s onto the DVD Round-Up before curling up in a ball and weeping at the loss of the Twilight films from our collective popular culture.

On This Week’s Show: Neil is still schmoozing in Park City for the Sundance Film Festival, so Kevin is holding down the fort with guest host David Medsker from Bullz-eye.com. It’s a lighter week for movies, so in the midst of talking about werewolves, vampires and Brendan Fraser reading (ha! like he reads!), Kevin and David discuss what might happen to sexy tattoos in 40 or 50 years, TV girlfriends and Rhona Mitra’s lumpy knees. And it’s the 100th episode of Fat Guys at the Movies, so you have that to be happy about!
Films Reviewed this Week: Underworld: Rise of the Lycans, Inkheart and Last Chance Harvey.
