Episode 328 – I Have Class

Posted on

This Week: Kristin celebrates her birthday in the Magical Studio in the Sky with a special gift from her daughter: a cold. Kevin wishes her a happy birthday, but even in her sleep-deprived state, Kristin notices that he got his box office assignments mixed up. Sadly, this results in Kevin not being able to perform his legendary victory pole dance, but he consoles himself by telling everyone about a fascinating dream he had. Things move into the movies for the week, including a poopy story about The Smurfs 2 and a minor disagreement about 2 Guns. Kevin offers a quick science lesson before reviewing Europa Report, and they discuss several news items with topics including Kickstarter, Harvey Weinstein, Spike Lee and the holiday family classic Oldboy. Then we’re left with the DVD Round-Up and a ride off into the sunset.
