Episode 265 – Bobby Fischer Is Dead

Posted on

This Week: Even though school is still in session, it’s full-on summer movie season in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him to talk about the new summer blockbusters. They laugh about The Dictator and roll their eyes at What to Expect When You’re Expecting. They also bemoan the big, dumb actioner Battleship and it’s star Brooklyn Decker, whom Nick politely refers to as “the camel toe girl.” Then in the middle segment, things go off the rails as they talk about ginormous breasts, strip clubs, box office, Harry Potter and Nick having his way with Bobby Fischer. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about what board games should be made into movies. Finally, back on the radio, they talk DVDs and Blu-rays before riding off into the sunset.

Kevin unloads a week of withheld shenanigans from vacation. No one is safe, be it Vern Troyer, Peter Dinklage or hot chicks who break wind.
