On This Week’s Show: Neil leads a protest against the studios by refusing to see any of the movies out this week. Kevin suffers through The Soloist while he takes his kids to work (i.e., gets them out of school to see a movie) on Take Your Child to Work Day. Liam and Ben Carr join their dad in the second segment to review Earth and a bunch of kids’ DVDs. Neil comes back to talk about the movies we weren’t allowed to see, and the Fat Guys threaten to get their knuckles bloody over whether Crank: High Voltage was a good movie or not.
Films Reviewed this Week: The Soloist, Earth, Obsessed and Fighting.

On This Week’s Show: Accusations fly as Kevin and Neil try to explain why each other isn’t a fan of Tyler Perry’s films. They also discuss the finer points of who they’d rather make out with – Robert DeNiro or Al Pacino. Kevin wishes himself a happy birthday but bemoans what day his birthday actually falls on. Finally, they both take up the cause on trying to offend one of their listeners who claims to never get offended. Oh, and they review some films as well… at least the ones the studio screened.
Films Reviewed this Week: The Women, The Family that Preys, Righteous Kill and Burn After Reading.
