This Week: As the holiday movie season swings into gear, Kevin invites Grae Drake from CNN, Movies.com and the Popcorn Mafia into the Magical Studio in the Sky to get chip-faced. They break down the new Sherlock Holmes movie before turning into chipmunks for the second segment. There, they give a squeaky-voiced review of the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie as well as the only non-sequel in wide release, Young Adult.

It’s a classy show to say the least.
