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.

This Is It is a stunning look at something that’s both epic and personal. Beautiful. Thrilling. Revealing. This film is a great documentary that delivers a larger-than-life figure in his natural environment as both a mega-celebrity and just a man standing alone on a stage.

Apple has released a brand new clip from the upcoming documentary about Michael Jackson, This Is It, in which the late Jackson rehearsed his song “Human Nature” for the tour that never was.

Heartfelt documentary released to show fans the power of a fallen artist or blatant profiteering? You be the judge!

That didn’t take long.
