Episode 119 – Imagine Fat

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

On This Week’s Show: After a couple good weeks with at least one good movie to enjoy, Kevin and Neil hit the dog days of the cinematic summer. But at least Neil had a good weekend, and Kevin has some fun taking jabs at Neil’s manly prowess. The Fat Guys debate the ability of John Travolta to be a badass and wonder why Eddie Murphy is still making films. In that regard, they knock out a Fat Guy Five about the movies they wish Eddie Murphy hadn’t made, and Neil threatens to stab Kevin in the eyeballs.

Episode 92 – Team Fat Guys

Posted on

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil swoon over the CGI Disney dog and show their fangs about a certain high school vampire. They also talk about their favorite vampire movies and run down their Fat Guy Five to discuss which fake movie-within-a-movie they’d like to see the most. Neil gives some love to the new Star Trek footage while Kevin proceeds to offend him with some smarmy suggestions about the forbidden love of Bella and Edward.

Films Reviewed this Week: Bolt, Twilight and Special.
