They exchange numbers via a five dollar bill and a 1st edition copy of Love in the Time of Cholera. The bill is spent on a pack of Certs and the book is sold to a used bookstore. If either one of them happens upon each other's phone number, then it is fate telling them to move Heaven and Earth to find each other.  Smash cut to three years later. Both of them are engaged to other people, living on opposite sides of the country, having the worst case of cold feet. They make one last ditch effort to seek each other out, only to find that fate has a massive hard-on for pulling them together and keeping them apart. Serendip? More like just the tip!

Warning: the week’s episode features full frontal Brittany!  Hide your bangers and mash, Dave and Noah review 2006’s Love and Other Disasters Starring Brittany Murphy, Matthew Rhys and Catherine Tate.  Brittany has just graduated from the Madonna Academy of Fake British Accents and she lives her life one Breakfast at Tiffany’s at a time.  She’s obsessed with Holly Golightly and she drapes herself (literally) with gay men, working as an intern at UK Vogue. However, the world can only have so many fruit flies for her to play matchmaker with and when she nets a tall dark and mansome one at work, she thinks she's found the ultimate gay dude for her to marry.  Yes, we are serious.  She's in the market for a homo hubby.The only problem is, this dude is a breeder who just wants to feed her some good old-fashioned love, American style, with a side of extra heterosexuality, because, like King Midas, everything this chick touches turns to gay.  She is like a heavenly body that supernovas gayness every ten minutes, creating galaxies of gay in her path,all she sees is gay and in the words of John Lennon all you need is gay.  Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Like Bob Dylan, Dave's gone electric! His first young adult ebook, The Ragged Mountains hits the mobile marketplace just in time for the fiscal cliff!  Noah shares a wonderful memory about the Nineteen-Nineties situation comedy Blossom

These broads are the ultimate Femme FAIL-tells.  Comin' atcha from 2006 with chopsticks, its JOHN TUCKER MUST DIE starring Jesse Metcalfe, Brittany Snow, Jenny McCarthy, and Ashanti. (Gesundheit) 
John Tucker is the star Basketball player who dribbles in hoop schemes instead of hoop dreams.  He's been taking his ball to multiple courts, and by courts I mean fine-ass hottie-boom-blotties. A cheerleader, a Tracy Flick, and a vegan chick who've all been simultaneously dumped by JT pool their resources and plan the gruesome demise...of his heart!  They gussy up a new girl and coach her in the rules of Tucker.  They even give her a boob camera. Sadly, the only boobs we see in this are us, the viewers who got "tuckered" into this, on Halloween, no less.  Boo-ha-ha-ha-ha!

Bye bye Ms. American Bynes, drove your crazy to the levee but the levee was dry. Dave and Noah travel back in time to see Amanda Bynes take Walt Disney's Snow White to a whole new level. 2007's Sydney White stars The Royal Bynesness herself, along with Sara Paxton, Matt Long and Danny Strong. It's going to take a continent's worth of woodland critters to help gussy up this retread of a Grimm Fairy Tale.  Amanda is off to school to follow in her dead mother's sorority footsteps, only to find that the Queen Bee of the Kappa house will stop at nothing to put her to death...in a social sense.  After throwing her out of the pledge coronation, Sydney gets taken in by seven dorks who live in overflow student housing.  The Queen of the Kappas, who's running for class president, is fixing to demolish their house unless one of them will stand up and run against her.  With the help of her fellow dorks, and the supportive yet lovingly bland hand of Tyler Prince, the Queen Bee's ex-boyfriend, Sydney will have to take the "Heigh" road on this blond "Ho". 

From a beach in a bikini next to K-Stew, Dave offers stirring words of encouragement to Amanda.  Noah cleans the Koi pond out back.

Coo-coo-ca-choo, Mrs Robinson, Coo-coo-ca-choo!  This week Dave and Noah bask in the aftermath of 2005's Rumor Has It... starring Jennifer Aniston, Mark Ruffalo, Kevin Costner and Shirley MacLaine.

Decades after the release of The Graduate, the chickens have come home to roost...and boy do they get to cluckin' with some hot gossip. Newly engaged Jennifer Aniston has never felt a connection with her family.  While attending her younger sister's wedding, she finds out that her late mother had an affair with a mysterious man who would later, rumor has it, (ahem), go on to inspire the plot of The Graduate. This causes Aniston to believe that she is his daughter.  As she tracks him down, she slowly realizes that she is doomed to repeat all the boring events that caused her forefathers to be the talk of the town in the first place. This isn't a remake. 

Words cannot describe what this is.

Oscar winner Sandra Bullock gets OSCARRED Straight in this 2009 disaster ALL ABOUT STEVE, starring the Blindsider herself, Bradley Cooper, Ken Jeong and Thomas Hayden Church.

Sandra is just your typical free spirited crossword puzzle writer who marches to the beat of her own cryptic clues.  Her parents set her up on a blind date with News Cameraman Bradley Cooper and it is love at first…well, whatever a five letter word for looking is. They get busy doing a four down, seven across on each other in his van when he realizes that she’s a few Pringles short of a good party. He fakes a phone call and goes on assignment across the country.  She loses her job and decides to grab the news by the pulp of its print; she goes on a road trip chasing after Steve on each of his assignments.  It’s kind of like Smokey and the Bandit, only instead of beer, it’s just bad jokes.

Dave writes a song of murder and channels the ghost of Sandra Bullock’s mother. Noah gets his first kiss…from a DEMENTOR!

The best part of waking up is Harry Ford in your cup!  Dave and Noah review 2010’s Morning Glory starring Rachel McAdams, Harrison Ford, Diane Keaton, Patrick Wilson and Jeff Goldblum.  
Rachel is just your above-average redhead with all the pluck and none of the luck!  After getting fired from her gig producing Good Morning New Jersey, she shakily lands a job running Daybreak, a failing morning show full of mothballs and forget-me-LOTS. After firing the host, she has to break Harrison Ford out of contractual carbonite and force him to show us how to make frittatas and report the breaking news of mourning traffic. Luckily, Ford’s old co-worker Patrick Wilson will be there to seductively guide McAdams in the ways of Ford, a “Dan Rather-not!” of a man who BELONGS in a MUSEUM!  Network cancellations loom, tempers are tantrumed, chubby weathermen are exploited and journalists get jiggy with each other... All before 9 a.m!

Fatty turns Fifty and its fantastic, wrapped in plastic!  This week we review 1987's Mannequin, (starring Andrew McCarthy and Kim Catrall and Estelle Getty), a romantic comedy that explores man's ultimate PIMPelicious ideal of a relationship:  Andy McCarthy is a true artist and navel gazing biscuit brain.  He crafts a mannequin that gets possessed by the spirit of an Egyptian princess who died 4,000 years ago.  The only catch is, the mannequin is real only when they are alone. Their love can only exist when no one else is looking. Pretty soon, department store politics come between them and they must decide: will Andy trade his heart for a dame called reality?  A reality that is porous and extremely biodigradable?  Or will he throw caution to the wind and rescue that oversized barbie doll from the world's largest Mannequin shredder? In the words of Eighties rock band Starship

"And we can build this dream together standing strong forever nothing's gonna stop us now".

The Truth is...only Gov. Jesse Ventura really knows. Welcome to When Harry Met Fatty’s first multi-episode special The Dog Days of Summer, where we devote all of August to rom coms that feature man’s best friend. Our first installment is 1996’s The Truth About Cats and Dogs where we witness how low Janeane Garofalo can go.  She’s the Rush Limbaugh of Veterinarian radio hosts who lives next door to Uma Thurman, a model / actress.  When a handsome listener pays a visit to the radio station, he mistakes Uma for Janeane and asks her out. The rest of the movie is spent inanely trying to whiten one of the whitest lies of all: Does this Cyrano De Bergerac routine make me look fat?!?

We Bought a Zoo (when we should have bought a clue!) Starring Matt Damon, Scarlett Johansson, Thomas Hayden Church, and Ellie Fanning.  This Twenty-Eleventy comedy is based on a true story of a man who loses his wife to cancer and decides to move his family into a zoo that is about to go belly up. This movie is a two hour Kodak commercial with snakes.  And a fallen tree.  And a suicidal tiger.  Matt Damon, fresh off the boat from Mourners-ville, USA, gets a lot of lasagna from all the women who want him to put his grieving peen in their own personal hairy lasagna-like enclosures.  He falls for the one woman who has no noodle casserole up for offer, Scarlett Johansson, a sullen animal caretaker who spends most of her spare time wearing a hoodie and glaring at him through the pouring rain. Thomas Hayden Church plays Matt's brother and he takes Matt out for coffee and heaps of brotherly disapproval.  Ellie Fanning plays a mysterious orphan Zoo child who immediately falls for Matt Damon's emo-son, who's way into examining the dark shadows of his navel.  Matt Damon has a daughter who cheers a lot while twirling in the sunshine as she feeds a muster of peacocks.  A Bear gets loose.  The zoo runs out of money.  An inspector demands pricey alterations for the zoo to be up to code.  With a post-death catharsis around every corner, We Bought a Zoo will make a bid for your heart.  But Buyer Beware!

This movie is about a group of twenty-something Gen Xers who all live in a singles condominium at Ground Zero of the Great Grunge Contagion of the late Twentieth Century.  Bridget is a Typhoid Mary, doing everything she can to infect her uninterested boyfriend Matt Dillon with her spastic cuteness.  Kyra Sedgwick is an environmentalist who just wants to have a man and possess complete control over her own garage door. We have electronic watches that can store phone numbers, some Alices in Chains, some Pearls that Jam, a miscarried baby, a half-eaten chili-dog, Tim Burton directing a dating video and a whole lotta dyslexic hearts.  If you’re in the mood for a series of half-sketches that meander through the notion of what its like to be white and drink coffee while breaking the fourth wall, then pop open the Pringles, cuz Singles is for you!

This flick is all run and no fun.  If you like wacky chase scenes peppered with light bondage lap dances that end with a gun being drawn, then The Bounty Hunter (2010) starring Jennifer Raniston and Gerard Butler is the only game in town!  
Gerry and Jenny are recently divorced.  Jenny is journalist investigating the mysterious suicide of an evidence clerk. Gerry is an ex-cop-turned-bounty hunter who specializes in catching fugitives who dress up like Uncle Sam on stilts. Jen misses her court appearance for a minor offense and Gerry is gloriously on the bound, hunting for his ultimate prey: an ex-wife who can write the book on fake crying and running very slowly in high heels.  This is Tom and Jerry, repurposed for the heterosexual human species. Many a table is turned as the hunter becomes the hunted and the Atlantic City Mob gets involved to breathe life into a mystery that has miscarried well before any red herrings can be revealed.  In the end, all we have to cling to is the open road and the notion that Jennifer Aniston was willing to show her boobs to commandeer a rickshaw from some kid offscreen.  Now that’s a bounty that we’d like to mounty!

Oh, think twice.  It’s just another day for you...you and me in paradise.  Couples Retreat starring Jon Favreau, Vince Vaughn, Jason Bateman, Kristen Bell, Kristin Davis and Cee Lo’s stunt double. Oh the notion of divorce bears bitter fruit. Jason Bateman and Kristin Davis announce to their married friends that they are pulling a Kramer v. Kramer.  And can you blame ‘er? In a last ditch effort to save their marriage, they redeem a Groupon rate to the tropical isle of Eden. However, there are no Jet Skis to be had. We will be bickering and bargaining, squabbling and fussing, and would you like some more scorn with your emotional bulldozing? Vince Vaughn’s motor-mouth of comedy will drone on and on like the oversized fan off the back of an Everglades Air Boat. Cee Lo gets naked, Vince Yawn is preyed upon by lemon sharks, Charlotte from Sex and the City bumps uglies with Fabio the yoga instructor and we all are reminded about such fine products as Guitar Hero, Starbucks, Power Point, Foot Locker and Applebees. Spoiler Alert, they get their Jet Skis, but after this Groupon, we’ll need to get a GroupOFF!

When you get dumped, go get yourself a nice hot dish of Dunst.
2001’s Teen Rom-Com GET OVER IT starring Ben Foster, Kirsten Dunst, Colin Hanks, Martin Short and Sisqo. Yes, the one and only Sisqo of “Thong Song” fame.
Ben Foster’s first love has left him for the arms of a boy band poseur, who has the audacity to speak English the right way...with an english accent. When they try out for the school’s production of Midsummer Night’s Dream, high school jock Ben Foster puts down his basketball, puts on a leotard and turns to the smell of the greasepaint and the roar of the theater freaks for some cold comfort. His spirit is willing but his craft is weak.  Kirsten helps him out and, honest to Bard, they fall for each other. However, the course of true love never did run like a smoothie! Her older brother Collin Hanks is Ben’s best friend and Ben himself wins the role of his ex-girlfriend’s lover in the show.  Lawd, what fools these mortals be! It’s going to take a lot of sex clubs, dance sequences and parties where people puke in the punchbowl to help our Ben restore amends.  Just try and get over this, if you give a Puck!

Think global, act local and always remember to buy MORGANIC, because did you hear?  Did You Hear About the Morgans? starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Hugh Grant, Sam Elliot and Mary Steenburgen. Come watch these city-pretties put the WHY in Wyoming.  SJP and Hughie-G are both suc-wealthful in all of life’s endeavors, save for their marriage, which is estranged at best. They witness a murder and get placed into Witness Protection, forced to live out the rest of their lives as Mr and Mrs Bumpkin, C/O Bumble Fuck Boulevaard in Boondock, Backwatersville USA.
Don’t worry, almost nothing happens.  Sure, they shack up with the town Sheriff and his colorful gun-toting wife, but they keep leaving them alone to work out their differences.  There is a bear, a town fair and a rodeo, and the killer who is tailing them eventually catches up...but by then you’ll realize that instead of watching this, you could just go to your local Outback Steakhouse and sit in a booth near a couple whose arguing on their Tenth anniversary.  It would be the same experience, except you’d get a tasty steak.  Or if you’re like Noah, who’s vegan, a couple of Bloomin’ Onions, hold the dip.   
Did you hear about the Morgans?  Yes Dear.  Unfortunately we did.

This week Fatty goes to prom with PRETTY IN PINK (1986) starring Molly Ringwald, John Cryer, Anthony McCarthy, Harry Dean Stanton, and James Spader. This is a John Hughes film about the first Ginger to ever break through our Separate But Equal Freckle Barrier. Poor little non-orphan Andie really digs Richey-Bitch Boy Blaine... but WILL THEY GO TO PROM TOGETHER??? 

We play with records, lip-synch to Otis Redding, make a bunch of mom-shaped dresses and punch a locker in rage.  In the end, we find ourselves at prom, making a choice that will fuel decades of pop-culture warfare.  And wasn’t she easy?  And isn’t she pretty in pink? Dave delivers his Prom decree while Noah gives some helpful advice about maintaining that moral compass that lives with the little man in the boat who fishes between the canyons of your thunder thighs. Have a safe prom fatties, and remember, we may not be pretty, but Goddamn us if we can’t tickle you pink!

Avoiding the Noid?  Unless he’s a TimeCop, he’ll never find you in 1988!  So sit down and join us for a slice!  Annabeth Gish, Lilli Taylor, Julia Roberts, and a pre-to-mid-pubescent Matt Damon will keep you company as you snuggle under a blanket of carbohydrates!  Brrrr!  The winds of change blow hard here in the port town of Mystic, CT.  Annabeth Gish is on her way to becoming Yale Material, until she takes a job babysitting for an Architect who owns a mysterious Nautical telescope, along with his other assorted Dark Materials. Lilli Taylor is a runaway bride, with the bug from M.I.B hot on her trail and Julia Roberts Eats, Prays and Loves her way to happiness with a wealthy wayward law school dropout who likes to throw darts while drinking. All are kept in check by the sassy maid from Two and a Half Men, who puts the Mystic Pizza Parlor on the map with her secret pizza sauce ingredient.  Let’s hope it’s glass.  Or Philip Glass!  

Dave assuages Noah as he comes to terms with his fear of wasps. Noah and Dave argue over what to eat before bogeying off to Mystic, CT, where a drunken chase through The Maze-a-saurus awaits!  Along the way, Dave takes a detour to Haunted Honkey Town and Noah reveals what all the REAL slutty girls put on their walls. Dave makes Halley super jealous with his Cocktail Corner, but it’s her fault, she’s cold as ice and only comes around every 76 years! Thanks for Listening and keep coming back to When Harry Met Fattty, a podcast that fulfills all your comet joke needs.

Double down on your Bubble Trouble board game! Where we’re going, you’re gonna want to keep those dice inside their Popo-Matic dome!  What Happens In Vegas starring Ashton Kutcher, Cameron Diaz, Dennis Miller, Queen Latifah, Zach Galifianakis and the ectoplasmic residue of every desperate heart that was dashed to pieces in that city of neon and lies.  Ash and Cam-Dizzy get drunk, get hitched and are about to ditch their shared marital status when one of them wins 3 million at a slot machine.  A judge sentences them to 6 months hard marriage before they can split the winnings and we get sentenced to ninety more minutes of this crap before we get to make like a banana.

They’re not Marooned, they’re just morons.  Amanda Bynes, Chris Carmack, Fred Willard, Kathy Griffin and Carlton from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air team up with the man who brought you Blue Lagoon and Flight of the Navigator!  Amanda Bynes pines for the affection of Pop Legend Jason Masters and corners him on a private party yacht.  They both go overboard and wash up on a deserted island...or is it?  Jason is hobbled and can’t move.  Luckily he has his number one fan to tend to his every desert island need.  This movie is basically Stephen King’s Misery rebooted as an Archie comic come to life!  Now go on and watch it, you dirty birds!

This is certainly one doodle that can’t be undid.  Remember 2007?   Bush was on his way out and our brains were fried over-easy on a home skillet called Juno, starring Ellen Page, Jason Reitman, Jennifer Garner and the color orange. The story is simple:  Girl meets boy, girl gets preggo, and girl Leggos her baby to some super well-off peeps.  Then girl decides to re-meet boy.  All in a semester’s work, half pint!

The Wedding Singer becomes a dead ringer!  In 2011’s Just Go With It, Adam Sandler plays house with Jennifer Aniston in order to woo a swimsuit model.  Oh what a tangled web they weave when they first practice to deceive...if only we could deceive ourselves from ever watching this in the first place.  This is an unintentional horror film about what happens when you decide to leave your wedding ring on when you go get a drink.  Spoiler alert, they end up in Hawaii, and we end up gettin’ Hawaiian punch-drunk.

Aaahh GREEK Out!  Le Weak, C’est Chic, GREEK Out! A gentile walks into a Greek restaurant and leaves with a wife and her family,(i.e  the entire population of the isle of Crete).  Opa!  This ultimate date flick from 2002 starring Nia Vardalos, John Corbett and Michael Constantine is heavy on the schtick with a sparse garnish of plot. Be sure to save room for some Baklava, or the one-eyed Nana in black will spit on your bride to be!  Ahhh, Love is here to stay...along with her family...in hell!  MOUSSAKA!  FETA!!!  GYROS!!!

You break it you buy it and boy did we ever!  Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 starring Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner and one wrecked Honeymoon Suite that will surely be in need of a good Priceline Negotiator.  As Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight Saga draws to a close, Breaking Dawn Pt. One teaches us one valuable lesson:  When you marry your high school sweetheart, be sure to get something old, something new, something Borrowed and something OHMYGOD she’s pregnant!  Pattinson may not be a one-pump-chump, but this situation is certainly a one-hump-baby-bump!  It’s like MTV’s 16 and pregnant on Quaaludes…and guest starring a bunch of talking wolves.  Join us as we dish on our very first unintentional romantic comedy!

Valentine’s Day (2010) Starring Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Anne Hathaway and every other form of matter that has color and moves.  Come watch all the L.A pretty peoples celebrate VD and realize that they are JUST LIKE US!  …Well, just like those of us who spend every VD performing a civilwar-esque reenactment of LOVE ACTUALLY.  Cupid has his hands full, full of slings and arrows, but luckily Gary Marshall has packed this cast well over the regulated fire code limit.  You can run but you can’t hide from the cupid.  He has soft feet and small pink hands.  He can smell your desperation, as if it were chum in the water.  No matter how many Topher Graces, Jessica Albas and Jessica Biels you hide behind HE will find you out.  He has rose thorns for teeth and yellow candy hearts for eyes, eyes that never close.  On Valentine’s Day, we will break up, we will make up and we will take up our hearts!

Hey!  You got your Chauvinism in my Chivalry. Hey!  You got your Chivalry in my Chauvinism.  Two great tastes that taste great together….in HELL!  In this 2009 delight Gerard Butler makes Katherine Heigl eat a plate of humble pie, but not before he gets his just deserts!  I apologize, its after midnight and I haven’t been fed. Don’t tell Mr. Wing.  Mogwai!

Heigl, which isn’t just an exercise you do to make your vagina strong, is a romantically challenged morning show producer.  Butler is a cable access misanthrope who lands a job on her show, all the while landing a place in her heart. He’s going to show her the ropes in the game of love…but careful, Gerry, you might just end up against the ropes!

Any Given Sunday, our Field of Dreams will Blindside our Hoosiers by showing us All The Right Moves…for We Are Marshall, and don’t you forget it!  Mr. Destiny just got served in The Sandlot by one lean, mean Moneyball.  If none of this makes sense, then you have just entered the void that occurs in Noah’s mind whenever he encounters sports. Welcome.  Feel free to shake and lurch all over the church floor!  2005’s American remake of FEVER PITCH, starring Jimmy Fallon and Drew Barrymore is finally a film that gives women all the baseball they so desperately crave in a rom com.  Drew falls for Jimmy, but come spring finds out that his true mistress wears one heckuva loud red sock.  When his passion runs red, and navy and white…how can their love survive before she retires to a league of her own?

Hollywood if she could…get Universal Healthcare…from Universal Studios that is!  This week we dig up a 1991 Country Time Lemonade classic starring Michael J. Fox and Julie Warner, (who can’t seem to find her bathing suit from time to time). MJF is on his way to Beverly Hills to be a plastic surgeon when he takes a detour that leads him directly to his true heart’s desire!

Dave and Noah are still housesitting.  Dave waxes poetic about his former country mouse ways.  Noah reveals his secret language called Bumblef*ck, meant to be spoken only to his invisible twin…who died years ago under mysterious circumstances.

Noah obsesses over a half-eaten titty cake that was left in a locker room.  Dave talks Porsche engines and admits the real reason he no longer lives in a one-horse town.

What do you get when you put Billy Crystal, John Cusack, Catherine Zeta Jones, Julia Roberts, Hank Azaria, Stanley Tucci, Seth Green, Rain Wilson, The Hyatt Hotel, A sixty pound fatsuit, a billowy poolside figure in white, Christopher Walken, a bunch of Hebrew-esque humor, press junkets and a terrible Spanish accent? 

Well…you get another reason to crack open that jug of Drano and call it a life.  But before that happens, listen to your heart.  Your so-sweet-its-pre-diabetic-heart.   The year is still young, and this is America.

America’s Sweethearts(2001), a movie about movies that centers around everything we don’t care about with movies: Press Junkets and publicity.  Two publicists try to mend a broken relationship between two celebrities who used to give America a reason to believe in love.  A sloppy love triangle ensues, replete with scrambled eggs being tossed into a lap.  Spoiler!

Dave and Noah steal a house. Podcasting from this venue inspires them to make a few resolutions.  Dave raids the liquor cabinet and finds crappy snacks while Noah reveals a shameful, shameful secret.  Noah eats a bag of nuts while Ollie looks on, his eyes dead, his mouth panting, his tongue yearning.  Happy New year, and thanks for the listen!
