On This Week’s Show: The unprecedented has happened in the Magical Studio in the Sky. Not only has Neil seen as many movies this week as Kevin, but they also seem to agree on everything. Surely, this is a sign of the apocalypse. In celebration of this blue moon event, Kevin and Neil provide not one, but two Fat Guy Fives, also in honor of two vastly different films in the theaters this week. But have no fear. Kevin and Neil will be back with fighting words next week.
