This Week: Kevin has a full slate of things to talk about this week, including the new films I, Frankenstein, Gimme Shelter and Gloria. He also gives a late review to August: Osage County, but first invites Comingsoon.net writer Edward Douglas into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the train wreck of Frankenstein proportions. Kevin also goes through some news that features everything from Batman to Google Glass.

This Week: Kevin welcomes Rudie Obias from Gordon and the Whale into the Magical Studio in the Sky. Even though Kevin hasn’t seen any of the films this week (with no thanks to the studios, who didn’t screen them anywhere in his state), he’s able to talk about them. Rudie takes a look at the kick-ass nature of Sucker Punch while Kevin tries to explain the appeal of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Together they chat about box office, the state of 3D versus ticket price, DVD picks and a look at five fun films (and film series) aimed at the 14-year-old boy in all of us.
