FSGM 18, Year in review!

Once again, we are barely holding this thing together. I decided it would be a good time to do a decade wrap-up and Matt points out that would have been better last year. He's right! Fuck that, he let's me do i anyway. What a guy. Too much to summarize, so just enjoy random banter. I dare you to try and follow us, it's not easy. Happy New Year and thanks to you all, Jason

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.

Fat and Skinny Check Out Cinema by the Bay

Here in SF, it feels as if there is some sort of film festival every weekend. This weekend, however, San Francisco Film Society makes it a little more personal by presenting Cinema by the Bay, a celebration of Bay Area film makers. There are shorts, documentaries, and features, both fiction and non. (Some even have subtitles!) Our friends over at Bay Area Bourgeois have asked us to to take a little time out of our busy, schlocky movie-watching schedule and check out some of the program. We actually got a press kit and our first dvd advance screeners. It’s almost like real live journalism.

View the complete schedule here and purchase tickets here.

Matt's review of the Opening night feature is already up, go check it out.

Cheers, Jason


"Fanny, Annie & Danny" - trailer from Chris Brown on Vimeo.

Boo! Episode 16.

Hey it's Halloween and we decided to talk about... Halloween! Not the most creative concept in blog history I know, but we have the yet to be famous big brother of Fat to round out the panel. I guess if you are around when we do a show you're in. We also talk about our scariest movie moments of all time. Oh, and did you know that Paul Rudd was in Halloween 6?

Happy Halloween,
Jason

Kevin Cross sits in.

Artist, musician, and fellow podcaster Kevin Cross sits in and shows Fat and Skinny how it's done. We discuss Rock-n-Roll movies (Urgh!, Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains, Live Forever), sort of, and just have a good time. I hope it's fun to listen to. If you keep listening after the outro, you find a bonus 15 minutes of useless banter. I thought it was funny, I might have been wrong.

Cheers, Jason

Our first guest spot!

I know no details other than we were on Lily Cat's show over at FCC Free Radio. She played some really terrible music and we talked about movies There was a guy named Pinky and a really tore up lady who had come straight from a party. They were all super nice and we a good time. And aparrently I am afraid of the microphone, so you can barely hear me.

Thanks to them all for having us on. Check it out here.

Enjoy?
Jason

Tangerine Dream did the soundtrack to Near Dark...

...not that you would particularly know that if you listened to our podcast. I think we neglected to mention that in the last podcast. Ya know, Episode 14. The episode that talks about Near Dark in extensive detail...and the podcast that loves to talk about Tangerine Dream. Well, we missed it. Sometimes we are the most unorganized movie podcast in history...
However, I am also pretty sure we(well, Jason) has mentioned their musical prowess on Near Dark in a previous episode. Maybe episode 3 or 4...so I really don't feel too bad about it.
I also don't feel too bad about us talking at length about "I Come in Peace" aka Dark Angel. No one is talking about that movie anymore...and I kinda like that. It really is a solid actioner. And again, while I totally screw up the memory of the posters tag-line. (which happens to be the highly terrible/forgettable, "good cop. bad alien. big trouble.") I am just proud of dusting off these old movies, and bringing them back into the awesome floodlight which is Fat and Skinny.
Hell, with our heat, and Hollywood pull...expect to see that shit hit Criterion within the next few months.

I know...awesome! right?
As usual, we talk about a whole heap of other stuff. From big B Hollywooders(Resident Evil:Afterlife), to Z-grade Schlockers (Blood of the Zombie), to everything in between (<Rec>).

Also, just so we are 100% crystal...this is Paul 'Wild Shit' Anderson...

...currently on the set of Castlevania. This is the man who only makes the WILD SHIT...and after being on the set of Alien vs. Predator all day, he still found the time to put a baby inside of Milla Jovitch's tummy. He is officially my hero.

Big love to all our listeners and fans.
