This Week: Kevin kicks off the show with some possibly dangerous words about gender politics and judging actresses by their physical appearance. Then he rattles through some news and trailers before getting to the movies to review, which includes Home, Get Hard, Serena and It Follows. In the midst of all that he thwarts homophobia claims about Will Ferrell and Kevin Hart to take an alternate view of the progressive nature of what their film says about sexual assault. Later, he lays down the big pitfalls of the upcoming DC Cinematic Universe compared to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Finally, he wraps things up with some box office predictions and the world-famous DVD Round-Up!

Posted on December 19, 2014

This Week: For Christmas this year, Kevin offers a fit of rage at North Korea, Kim Jong-Un, Sony Pictures, and Paramount Pictures. What a bunch of pussies, the lot of them! With a trifle of movie news and the trailer park out of the way, Kevin lays into the North Korean fiasco regarding the film The Interview and why we as a country let a spineless, corporation driven by profit alone dictate our foreign policy. Kevin examines the Sony hacking and how the media and readers became puppets of a foreign dictatorship. Then he lays out the reasons why backing down from empty threats was one of the worst ideas ever. (Spoiler alert: This will not be the last time someone tries this nonsense.) Later in the show, Kevin reviews the new movies, including The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, Annie and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. Finally, he offers some thoughts on the box office and the DVD Round-Up. Ho! Ho! Holy shit!
