Fat Guys at the Movies

On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil are overwhelmed with the impending awards season, feverishly trying to watch all the films at press screenings and on studio-provided DVDs. They know this makes you jealous, but such is the life of illustrious film critics. Kevin declares that the role of Klaatu is perfect for Keanu. Neil refuses to see the family holiday dysfunction film of the week. No one even cares about Delgo and Neil only made it half-way through Slumdog Millionaire. They also weigh in on the recent Golden Globe nominations and declare it officially awesome that Tropic Thunder and In Bruges received a couple nods.

Films Reviewed this Week: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Nothing Like the Holidays, Delgo, Slumdog Millionaire and Wendy and Lucy.

  • Well, it took until the 36:30 mark, but Kevin actually said something I agree with! 'Dear Zachary' is the best documentary of the year!

    And yes, I am listening at work.
  • This is our 95th episode and Kevin still hasn't said anything that I really agree with...

    I kid, I kid.
  • I will fight you, Neil Miller.

    btw... did you like Wendy & Lucy?
  • Haven't watched it yet. Though I did finish Slumdog Millionaire -- absolutely breathtaking visuals and one hell of a gripping finish. Damn fine movie.
