Meanwhile, Kevin invites his New to Netflix co-host Nicholas Herum to fill Kristin’s shoes. And my, does he look funny in those high heels. This week, there’s not many releases, but the two fat guys manage to find plenty to say about exhibitors calling for more PG-13 movies and fewer R-rated movies, as well as the new film of the week: Iron Man 3.

This Week: After the wake of Comic-Con coverage, Kevin invites Dame Elisabeth Rappe into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the event and sink their teeth into the grizzled coverage of Cowboys and Aliens. In the process, they also drop-kick a few Smurfs and Kevin unleashes venom all over Crazy Stupid Love. They also talk waaaaaaay too much about prostitutes in the old west and San Diego, plus Kevin gets the dirt on which transportation workers at Comic-Con you should avoid. Finally, there’s a story about a parrot and a Fat Guy Five about mash-up movies. And some DVD recommendations as well. Can’t let you go without some of that sweetness.
