Bio: Kevin Carr crawled from the primordial ooze in the early 1970s. He grew up watching movies to the point of irritation for his friends. He was a font of useless movie knowledge until he decided to put that knowledge to good use. Now, Kevin is a nationally syndicated critic on the radio, having been featured on dozens of stations around the country. He also writes reviews for a variety of outlets, both online and in print. Kevin can also be found on Rotten Tomatoes.

Weekly DVD Drinking Game: G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra

Hasbro had a mega-hit with Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, and the studio hoped for lightning in a bottle with their August release of G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra. It made some green, but you might need to have a few drinks to really enjoy the film again on Blu-ray or DVD.

Kevin and Neil meet up in the Magical Studio in the Sky to have a Fat Guy Smackdown to beat all Fat Guy Smackdowns. While they don’t come to odds so much with A Serious Man, they certainly disagree about Michael Jackson’s This Is It.

31 Days of Horror: Inside

Inside is a grisly, bloody suspense film from French cinema that will make you think twice before you open the door to a stranger.

Weekly DVD Drinking Game: Drag Me to Hell

They say that drinking is a sin, and maybe if you do too much of it you might be dragged to hell. But apparently Alison Lohman is on her way there as well, so at least you’ll be in good company…
