OSNAP #44: Dominican Republic Prostitutes
OSNAP: Dominican Republic Prostitutes
This week, Kevin and Merrill sound off about the big news coming out of Comic-Con. They also reiterate why they never want to actually go to Comic-Con. After talk about Superman, Batman, The Avengers, Ultron and Hugh Jackman’s secret costume, Kevin shares some super-secret stories from behind the curtain of radio. (Hint… there might be nudity involved.) Then, in the wacky news segment, the time is monopolized by some amaze-balls stories, including epic face-sitting and a helicopter mother trying to arrange for her son’s cherry to be popped… and popped… and popped, which reminds Merrill of a curious story from his high school days. Oh, snap!

The 10 Best Films of 2012
BY KEVIN CARR
This past year was a year of firsts, including the first movie to make more than $200 million on its opening weekend and the first movie to be presented in the high frame rate of 48 fps. It was a year of life imitating art, sometimes tragically and violently. There was plenty of bad with the good, and like any year, only a rare few rose to the top. I did not ubiquitously enjoy the movies throughout the year as I did in 2011, but there were still some real great ones. Here’s my ten favorite….

Episode 265 – Bobby Fischer Is Dead
This Week: Even though school is still in session, it’s full-on summer movie season in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him to talk about the new summer blockbusters. They laugh about The Dictator and roll their eyes at What to Expect When You’re Expecting. They also bemoan the big, dumb actioner Battleship and it’s star Brooklyn Decker, whom Nick politely refers to as “the camel toe girl.” Then in the middle segment, things go off the rails as they talk about ginormous breasts, strip clubs, box office, Harry Potter and Nick having his way with Bobby Fischer. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about what board games should be made into movies. Finally, back on the radio, they talk DVDs and Blu-rays before riding off into the sunset.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 57
In this very special episode: It’s winding down through May sweeps, and there’s tons of renewal, cancellation and pick-up news. So the Idiots have a busy time ahead of them. But that doesn’t stop them from getting sidetracked about The Avengers and other summer movies. A surprisingly grumpy Kevin also rants about TIME Magazine’s breastfeeding cover and also complains about Mother’s Day. The Idiots talk about a selection of new shows coming in the fall as well as the peculiarities of some shows that were renewed or canceled. Then they chat about a few shows they’ve been watching before throwing out some DVD recommendations and an impromptu Sound-Off by Kevin. (Don’t worry… he’s done talking about breastfeeding for the episode.)

Episode 264 – The Coolest Moment Ever
This Week: Fully in the wake of The Avengers afterglow, Kevin invites fellow podcaster and movie blogger Rudie Obias (or as Kevin fondly refers to him, Rudio-O!) into the Magical Studio in the Sky to get all creepy and gothic and stuff. They geek out a little bit more about The Avengers, but soon talk about the latest Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration, Dark Shadows. After dissecting this modern vampire comedy, they move into the infamous middle segment where they look at box office and ponder the question as to whether The Avengers will score more than $100 million in its second weekend. Using fewer run-on sentences than this summary, they also give a Fat Guy Five about great cinematic vampires. Then it’s some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before heading off into the night.

Episode 263 – I Need to Get That Glitter Out of My Mouth
This Week: The summer movie season has officially started, and Kevin has his big bucket of popcorn, ready to start watching big summer movies. Things kick off with Marvel’s The Avengers, so he invites die-hard fangirl Melissa Molina into the Magical Studio in the Sky to gush over this new superhero flick. They also talk about the coming-of-old-age movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but the conversation is dominated by the guys in the funny suits. The middle segment offers more Avengers goodness, plus a Fat Guy Five which ranks the other pre-Avengers films. Finally, Kevin and Melissa talk about some DVD releases and sends the listening audience on their merry way to watch what is the best movie of the year so far.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 56
In this very special episode: The Idiots are on fire this week, both for television and for movies. They open up their first segment with a discussion of Marvel films and the insanity around spoilers and regional screenings. Kevin also throws some love to the Ohio 24-Hour Sci-Fi Marathon (and stay tuned for a Second Reel episode on that). Then it’s into the television news, which is pretty hearty this week and open for discussion. Next, the Idiots talk about various television shows they watched, including a scathingly sexist (not really) rant about Girls. Finally, they lay down some recommendations and DVD picks before assembling their way out of here.

Episode 246 – I Need Some Scratch
This Week: In the cold wasteland of January, Kevin invites Rudie Obias back into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the end of 2011 and what to look forward to in 2012. They also look briefly at The Devil Inside, which wasn’t screened for press and represents the only new wide release this week (an honor that is shared with Nicolas Cage’s Season of the Witch from last year). Kevin and Rudie talk about their most anticipated films of 2012 and what they though worked in 2011. They also go blue in the third segment, talking about what they would be willing to do to make money in the new year. They also go over the recent box office numbers and lay down a Fat Guy Five about great exorcist moments in film. Finally, they chat about the new DVDs and Blu-rays for the week before heading back out into that cold wasteland of January films.
