FSGM 31

Jason finally faces his fears in this exciting edition of San Francisco's own Fat and Skinny Go to the Movies. One of the most terrifying images from his childhood was that of the potato sack covered face of the killer from 1976's "The Town That Dreaded Sundown". We here at FSGM are happy to inform you that he is doing okay, and talks about the experience for you listening pleasure.

We have a new hero here at FSGM. His name is Oliver Reed. He was a hard drinking, fist fighting, British actor who appeared in hundreds of movies and television shows. The sheer volume of his output is filled with some of the weirdest choices an actor has ever made. This little gem from 1981 is one strange trip. Part satirical farce, part horror comedy, it is filled with surreal sight gags, bazaar sets, wild make-up, and wacky special effects. It is currently available on Netflix streaming.

There is a smattering of other films mentioned, but you should go listen for yourself to find out what.

Enjoy!

Drop Nineteens? Fucking awesome, right? Well, we just dropped (episode) 19 and it's awesome too.

Totally awesome.
As awesome as the Drop Nineteens tripped-out, early 90's, shoegaze, guitar bliss?
No.
But, what can I say? I really liked the track 'Winona'. Just always reminds me of makin-out with a pretty pretty girl in the park, on a sunny sunny day. Awesome.
Anyway, speaking of awesome make-out sessions...another thing i really like are movies! And listeners, boy howdy did you 'make-out' like a bandit on our lastest, nay I say greatest, episode.
First, we're drunk. So that's back.
We're slower to our points...but, there is more fire in our bellies.(or is that beer in our...) We have also settled on a production schedule, so you fans have that to look forward too. Also, we promised merch, 'real' and not 'no' prizes, more blog posts, tweets,facebook updates, and actual 'Fat and Skinny' events. Some of this will surely happen...others...well, we are nothing if not well intentioned.
And that's not even mentioning THE MOVIES we get into.
Ladies and Gentlemen...hold on to your butts.
First up is Enter The Void. It sez Into the Void on our Itunes. That's because we hate the facts. All the facts!

Also, did you know that Chev Chelios is gonna remake the Bronson movie the Mechanic. Yeah, we don't know exactly how to fell about it either. We watched the original just to prepare. Charles is Brawn's Son.

Almost more mustache, than man...
Next we get onto 'Rapid Fire'. It stars 'The Crow'. I have not seen it...and can't reacall the show...which normally i listen to...but...

Lastest but surely not leastest...we get into The Loved Ones. Not to be confused with Evelyn Waugh's novel that spurred the 1965 movie of the same title. (Which is also amazing...stars a young Jonathan Winters, and is also a movie of high recommendation) No, this is the 2009 Australian teen-torture, future, classic that has flabbed the gaskets of all us here at the FSGM floating movie observatory.

...we've posted it on our facebook, like, twice already...but, dang. Look at that shit. It's Craaaaaaaaaay-zaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!
...and just because I'm your favorite. Here's Winona.

...find me later if you just wanna watch movies and make-out.

Fat and Skinny are GO

In Seventeen, everything is fine. As the lady in the radiator sings our praises...Episode 17 Episode 17

Recorded on the Tuesday, which some call November the 16th.
I got off work and biked over to Jason's to record episode 17...of the podcast everyone is apparently screaming about...Fat and Skinny Go To the Movies.
I kinda skipped lunch. (I've been skipping meals lately). But, Jason made me some Pizza Rolls anyway. He had a burrito...and there were some chips too. From SanChez...they know how to make a chip. I haven't been sleeping well, so i had more and more coffee...but nothing was seeming to help.
It's another dry episode...which may be for the best. It was the middle of the afternoon. Besides, I think all my drinking is giving me high blood pressure. I can feel it in my left arm and in my fingers.
Still, that doesn't stop it from being the best podcast ever recorded...by anyone...(much less us)

And like always...we are always all over the map.
So pull the fucking globe out you humps...we fly to Italy and beyond the stars and talk about The Visitor. then it's to sunny ol' Britain for the Jihadist comedy Four Lions.(Which apparently IS playing at The Lumiere here in SF), then it's back to the states, back in time, and into a video game as I am currently(like electrical currently) uber pumped for TRON...and just to ruin it for everyone, we talk about Walking Dead. It's a TV show. It's quite popular.
(and yes, it's also a comic...they're all from comics these days)
I think we ever shoehorn in some Goonies.

Damn.
We're Good.

OK, I'm gonna lie down and listen to the new episode.
It's been an another assy 48 hours.

And I always dig Jason's production.

I got the Bad Guts...reeeeeeeeaaaal hard.

...or funny guts. Or diarrhea. Or whatever you wanna call it. Whatever it was...it was explosive.
I think it really affected my judgement. There really may be monster poop in Monster Squad. But, ya know....I really can't remember. Hell, I can't remember alot of things.
I do remember that Milla Jovovich is hot. So, I guess I'm doing alright.
Speaking of hot. Episode 13 of San Antonio's favorite weird movie podcast (Fat and Skinny Go To the Movies) comes out swinging, and drops it like it hot.
We talk about the concept of 'Grindhouse'. And the possibility, of a new sub-sub-genre. Not well by any means, we went to art school. We're only so smart....or I'm only so smart. Jason is his usual lighthouse; shining the light of reason to my fog of confusion.
Listen to him lay it down about director Neil Marshall...he sounds like a totally real movie reviewer dude. It's kinda awesome.

We also get surprising current as we talk about Piranha 3-D and Machete. Ya know, for such a weak summer, it real did end with a bang. Seriously, sometimes Hollywood...you are reading my mind.

...and for the rest of it we recap the fine film franchise which is proudly know as 'Friday the 13th'.
...I mean, 13th episode...it's 'natch.

And I'm sure there is some other stuff of interest. As we really are only the Greetest....but, I forget. (see above)

~God Bless all Ghoulies,

ps... "after the fact, no-prizes" to "the boyz"... AND, to all the peeps I saw Piranha 3-D with. You know who you are...you are the beautiful people.

Episode 11

The thing is, We took a step back by recording at home again. This by no means affects the quality of our performance but editing was super hard. Hopefully, we’ll be back in the womb like Soma FM studios for 12. We have been watching movies at an alarming rate. My son has gone feral and is foraging in the yard while I take cinematic bullets for our fans while Matt rubs shoulders with the film fest going elite at this years “Another Hole in the Head” festival. We do it for you.

This episode is chock full of inaccuracies and mistakes, so sharpen your pencils and take notes, there will plenty of opportunity for “On Air No Prizes”. It is also full of the sharply crafted, silver tongued repartee you’ve come to expect from media professionals such as ourselves.

The Exterminator, The Violent Kind, The Losers are all disected. And the unexpected Rampage from polarizing director Uwe Bolle is covered. We do lose focus several times and all the background noise is provided by a fridge and Dexter, my son. We forgot to mention we were drinking giant cans of Pabst Blue Ribbon and Anchorsteam beers, if you are left wondering. Anyway...

Enjoy, Jason

Fat and Skinny go to the Coffee House...and talk about movies.

...This may be a spoiler. But here we are, talking about movies. Actually, we were talking about The Local 303's(Josh Ellingson and Dave Garvey not pictured) opening at The Artist Xchange...but, we somehow we talked about alligator movies(Black Water) and Goodfellas anyway.
Oh, and my shirt sez... Van Damme is the New Jam.
It's a Jeremy Wheeler.

Cheers,
~matt delight 2010

Oh, and feel free to talk hella praise about us on the Itunes...it really helps a lot.
