On This Week’s Show: Neil is busy this week, so Kevin invites Ryan Gallagher from CriterionCast.com to the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about this week’s movies. They don’t fight like Cats & Dogs and sit down at a Dinner for Schmucks to try and figure out what the hell Charlie St. Cloud is about. Kevin also asks Ryan about his experiences at Comic-Con and how he used his vegan psychic powers to avoid getting stabbed in the eye in Hall H. They discuss the ratings system and whether PG-13 movies should warn about Santa Claus spoilers before throwing down a Fat Guy Five about good talking animal movies and handing down some DVD and Blu-ray picks.
