Episode 194 – The Big Fat Christmas Special 2010

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: As one big fat guy plans on sneaking into your house in the middle of the night, two other fat guys seek to entertain you as they talk about the new movies of Christmas week. Of course, it’s not hard to be entertaining when you’re looking at drivel such as Little Fockers and Gulliver’s Travels. At least there’s a Coen Brothers movie in the mix with True Grit. Neil only sees the good film this week, and Kevin is so traumatized by Little Fockers that he can’t even make a good stripper joke. Finally, the Fat Guys lay down a Fat Guy Five about the most insane (and only sometimes awesome) Christmas movies out there. Ho ho ho! Merry Christmas from the Magical Studio in the Sky.
