Episode 338 – Wookiee Mouse

Episode 333 – 50 Shades of Puddleface

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin suffer through the doldrums of September with no advanced screening of Riddick, leading to wild speculation that it’ll be just like the other movies. Additional films for your viewing choices include the sister productions of Hell Baby and The Ultimate Life. Of course, Kevin and Kristin couldn’t get through a show without telling the audience what they think of the Internet-destroying casting announcements for 50 Shades of Gray. Oh, and DVDs and Blu-rays. That too, yah, yah.

Episode 331 – A Madhouse!

Posted on

This Week: The crazy month of August just got crazier in the Magical Studio in the Sky. After rattling through the bizarre box office from last week, Kristin and Kevin chat about bit about some Star Wars news that makes them feel weird inside.

Then, they breeze through the awful The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones before having a smack-down about You’re Next. Later, they make wildly inaccurate box office predictions before heading into the DVD Round-Up… which Kevin screws up.

Episode 321 – Kinda Rocks

Posted on

This Week: Kevin can’t even bring himself to do a victory dance this week because his and Kristin’s predictions were so terribly off-base for the box office. However, things look up after they rattle through some fun movie news and then head into a slate of movies to review: Man of Steel, This Is the End, The East and the much-anticipated, sure-to-be-blockbuster Hatchet III. Soon, Kevin and Kristin move on to answer a listener voice mail before giving their DVD and Blu-ray predictions for the week.

Episode 307 – Crusty Drawers

Posted on

This Week: Kevin and Kristin rattle through a whole bunch of movie news, including confirmed actors in the new Star Wars movie, the potential involvement of Christopher Nolan in The Justice League and James Bond, plus a listener question about The Guardians of the Galaxy. This leaves scant time for movie reviews, which is a good thing since neither had a chance to see Dead Man Down or Emperor. Though they do have a chance to thoroughly discuss Oz the Great and Powerful and how guys still try to get laid in magical lands. Finally, they tear through some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before riding off into the sunset.

They also chew through some more Star Wars news… again. For a fun distraction, they also review Rex Reed’s review of Identity Thief (or rather Reed’s caustic review of Melissa McCarthy’s body shape). Kevin also reviews the Superman cocktail and threatens to make it for Kristin when he shows her The Star Wars Holiday Special.

OSNAP #19: Not a Porn Star

Posted on

OSNAP: Not a Porn Star
Kevin and Merrill kick off this week’s podcast with an in-depth discussion of J.J. Abrams and whether he’s the right fit for the new Star Wars movie. Then they move on to more random discussion, including what’s ailing Merrill’s dog and how a string of bad decisions led him to become drunk for the first time in his life. Discussion continues about the dangers of integration (regarding technology, not races, you sensitive idiots) and how it’s all a generational thing. Eventually, the talk leads to pornography and why Kevin thinks adult film actresses should be protected by teachers’ unions. Oh, snap!

They also throw down about various fanboy battles, including where they stand on Star Wars, Indiana Jones, M. Night Shyamalan’s career and James Bond theme songs. After dissecting The Dark Knight Rises in a very spoiler-free way (though there might be an Inception spoiler or two in there) before answering a listener email and laying out the Fat Guy Five about overhyped films. Then it’s on to the last segment, where they recommend some DVDs and fly off into the night using their Batarangs.
