This Week: Kevin rings in the new year with some new news that’s really old news. This would be the hubbub about a potential black James Bond. Kevin also analyzes what the high-grossing VOD numbers mean for The Interview as well as VOD potential in general. Then, he rattles through some early-year trailers and heads into the movie reviews. New films reviewed include The Woman in Black 2: Angel of Death, [REC]4: Apocalypse, A Most Violent Year and a better-late-than-never review of The Interview. Later in the show, Kevin gives a tease of his 10 Best and 10 Worst Films of 2014 before offering some box office mojo and the world-famous (but very thin) DVD Round-Up! Happy 2015!

Still, that doesn’t stop him from planning all of his scary movie watching. However, before he does that, he looks at some odd and disappointing movie news, then reviews the new movies of the week: The Equalizer, The Boxtrolls, The Skeleton Twins and Love Is Strange. Later, amid the horror movie plans, he also looks at the box office and the DVDs and Blu-rays available this week. Boo!
