This Week: Kevin pulls back the veil on his swanky job as a movie reviewer and gives the audience some keen insight on what happens when a studio doesn’t want an audience to see its movie (cough… cough… No Good Deed). He also talks about how smaller independent companies market their movies that have a proven track record of audiences staying away (cough… cough… Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?). And then there’s reviews of The Drop, Dolphin Tale 2 and Life After Beth as well. Kevin also talks movie news (mostly superhero stuff), eulogizes Richard Kiel, answers another listener question, looks at new trailers, examines last week’s box office and recommends some DVDs and Blu-rays.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.

This Week: Because not all the critics out there in Criticland were able to check out an early screening of Prometheus, Kevin makes a desperate move and has Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com back on the show. Nick graciously agrees, but won’t stoop to seeing the latest Madagascar movie. Still, the two Fat Guys manage to talk about the link between Santa and the Ice Age films, the finer points of queefing and take some pathetically unfair shots at Brittany Murphy (please don’t hate us). They also manage to have a cogent and (sometimes) clean discussion of the movies this week. They rattle down a Fat Guy Five about worthy prequels, and later fill up on DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.
