Posted on

fatguysatthemovies2_banner

This Week: Kevin pulls back the veil on his swanky job as a movie reviewer and gives the audience some keen insight on what happens when a studio doesn’t want an audience to see its movie (cough… cough… No Good Deed). He also talks about how smaller independent companies market their movies that have a proven track record of audiences staying away (cough… cough… Atlas Shrugged: Who Is John Galt?). And then there’s reviews of The Drop, Dolphin Tale 2 and Life After Beth as well. Kevin also talks movie news (mostly superhero stuff), eulogizes Richard Kiel, answers another listener question, looks at new trailers, examines last week’s box office and recommends some DVDs and Blu-rays.

Episode 261 – Estrogen Week

Posted on

This Week: It’s “Estrogen Week” in the Magical Studio in the Sky, where we celebrate chick flicks not because we love them but because those are the only big releases in theaters. So naturally, Kevin invites another dude into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about said chick flicks. They also talk about Chimpanzee, the height of various actors, Michael Bay’s penchant for racism, interacting with filmmakers they don’t particularly like and a Fat Guy Five about the awfulness that is Nicholas Sparks movies. They also throw in some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before spraying down the studio with testosterone and declaring themselves awesome.
