OSNAP #41: Drunk Man’s Noodles

Posted on

OSNAP: Drunk Man’s Noodles
This week, Merrill tells of his grand adventure with Maggie Gyllenhaal and spicy Thai food. Kevin rants (again!) about software updates and why getting an Amber Alert while asleep at 6 a.m. doesn’t help a goddamn thing. Then, Kevin launches into two of the more strange stories of the show. First, he talks about his father’s bizarre vendetta against computers. Then, the talks about how movie trailers are amazingly accurate on predicting the nature of a movie. Oh, snap!

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.
