This Week: Shaking off the hangover of Christmas, Kevin opens the gifts that Hollywood has given us in the last week of the year. First, there’s some news about superhero casting and Justin Bieber retiring, which dovetails into a truncated preview of Bieber’s film Believe. Kevin quickly moves on to talk about something more intellectual: Doctor Who. Later, Kevin reviews 47 Ronin, Grudge Match, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and The Wolf of Wall Street. In the final segment, Kevin reviews the past box office numbers, offers scant DVD and Blu-ray recommendations, then dissects the morality of Frosty the Snowman.

This Week: The Halloween month continues, and so does at least one horror movie release. Even though it wasn’t screened locally, Kevin and Kristin talk about the Carrie remake as well as the goofy prison movie Escape Plan with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger. Other films on the docket include The Fifth Estate, which they swear they didn’t stream off a pirate server, and Paradise which puts Julianne Hough’s acting ability against that of Russell Brand playing Kevin’s father. Then, it’s on to DVD recommendations and some bizarre news shenanigans involving Madonna, the real Captain Phillips and Charlie Hunnam opening a path to Kevin’s superstardom as a motion picture sex symbol.

This Week: Kevin and Kristin celebrate being able to see the movies they needed to this week, even if it meant lengthy road trips and shaky internet connections. They offer a mea culpa to their audience, apologizing for such terrible box office predictions. However, along with talking about Stand-Up Guys, Bullet to the Head and Warm Bodies, they also weigh in about Peter Farrelly’s Twitter fit, the potential for greatness in Man of Steel, Steven Soderbergh’s egress from filmmaking (again!) and Kevin’s love for boobs. Yes, boobs are back in the conversation! Then, they talk a bit about DVDs and Blu-rays before sending the audience along their merry way. Boobs!

This Week: As Kevin looks ahead to the end of summer and sending his kids back to school, he invites mild-mannered history teacher Trevor Schoenfeld (who, on his off-hours, turns into Schofizzy the movie blogger) into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They chat about the number of new films coming out this week, including ParaNorman, Sparkle, The Expendables 2 and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. They also spend part of the first segment singing the praises of Twitter while they spend a chunk of the middle segment singing the praises of stop-motion animation. After laying down a Fat Guy Five about stop-motion animation, they lay down some classic DVD and Blu-ray picks before packing their bags and heading off to school.
