Posted on

This Week: Kevin comes into the Magical Studio in the Sky in a depression that his pick for box office winner did not end the weekend with the expected $682 trillion. Still, he and Kristin pat each other on the back for knowing who was going to win. They chat about some movie news, including another MPAA battle with Harvey Weinstein as well as the future of DVDs and physical media. They also look at some new movies, including Pacific Rim, Grown Ups 2 and V/H/S 2. Then, it’s all about DVDs and Blu-rays before saying good-bye for another week.
