Episode 284 – The Fattest Oompah-Loompah Ever

Posted on

This Week: Long-time guest-host Kristen Dreyer Kramer joins Kevin in the Magical Studio in the Sky for a week in September that doesn’t suck with new movie releases. They chew through the releases of Hotel Transylvania, Looper, Won’t Back Down and the limited release Pitch Perfect this week. You won’t believe what was Kevin’s favorite, and you also won’t believe the bizarre connection between Looper and Kirk Cameron. They also read another piece of hate mail for Kevin, driven with rage about his review of The Master. Finally, they chat about DVDs and Blu-rays while describing how Kevin plans to retire to Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory.
