Posted on

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin celebrates Super Bowl weekend by not talking about football at all. (After all, have we learned nothing from the film Concussion aside from how white the Oscars are?) First he talks about some low-level movie news and highlights upcoming trailers. Later, he reviews the films Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, The Choice, Hail Caeser! and 45 Years, then a quick listener recommendation review of Honeymoon. Later in the show, Kevin talks about the box office and some pretty awesome picks for this week’s home cinema watching. Home run!

Episode 304 – If I Were a Teenage Girl

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin celebrate a late Valentine’s Day in the Magical Studio in the Sky, talking about movies that will send everyone in the family to different theaters: the men can see A Good Day to Die Hard, the ladies can see Safe Haven, the teens can see Beautiful Creatures and the kiddies can see Escape from Planet Earth. They also talk about the impossible physics of the Die Hard movies, Nicholas Sparks cliches (of which there are many), terrible Southern accents and whatever the hell happened to Brendan Fraser’s career. They also play a listener voice mail, proving the phone number still works. XOXO

Episode 261 – Estrogen Week

Posted on

This Week: It’s “Estrogen Week” in the Magical Studio in the Sky, where we celebrate chick flicks not because we love them but because those are the only big releases in theaters. So naturally, Kevin invites another dude into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about said chick flicks. They also talk about Chimpanzee, the height of various actors, Michael Bay’s penchant for racism, interacting with filmmakers they don’t particularly like and a Fat Guy Five about the awfulness that is Nicholas Sparks movies. They also throw in some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before spraying down the studio with testosterone and declaring themselves awesome.

Fat Guy 5: Five Characters We Wish Were Killed

Posted on

With the release this week of yet another Nicholas Sparks movie, we now have learned the true formula. Take a forbidden summer romance, throw in some upper-class/lower-class tension and nice picturesque shots of Savannah’s beaches, and you’re only missing one thing…

Like any good horror movie, a Nicholas Sparks movie would not be complete without someone dying.

And that got us thinking… if only every movie was written by Nicholas Sparks, who would we have liked to see bite it in other films. What follows is a fun, but hardly definitive, Fat Guy Five list!
