On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil drive a Cadillac through the War Zone and take some shots at David Frost and Richard Nixon. They continue with their proselytizing for the cause of Fatguyenatics and the Church of Fatguyentology, in which they canonize their first patron saint. They also get ramped up for the winter television season with the Fat Guy Five: The five shows they’re looking forward to the most come January. Kevin offers up some love for the Spanish thriller TimeCrimes while Neil admits to not watching it.
