They euthanize the Old Dogs and have an epic fat ninja smackdown over the merits of the film Ninja Assassin. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about whom they would choose to protect them against killer ninjas. Hi-ya!

On This Week’s Show: Neil staggers into the Magical Studio in the Sky after pulling an all-nighter and seeing more movies than Kevin has. The two commiserate about how the studios have refused to show them either of the horror movies opening this week, despite the fact that Kevin would love to see another 3D slasher. The Fat Guys also trip back to Woodstock (which took place before either was born) with Ang Lee’s new flick Taking Woodstock. Finally, Neil gives some love to World’s Greatest Dad, featuring a very hairy and very naked Robin Williams, then they throw down a Fat Guy Five about horror franchises that just… won’t… die!
