Movies For Guys Who Like Movies

Movies For Guys Who Like Movies is a pretty self-explanatory concept.
Before TBS was "Very Funny" it was "A Guy Thing." And to that end, this franchise tried to deliver what every guy wants in a show. Killer movies, lots of action, hot chicks, guns, violence, behind the scenes how'd-they-do-that info, and more hot chicks.

Born from the success of "Dinner and a Movie" TBS has aired many franchises that market movies to niche demographics. In my opinion the show was the most fun to make in the early days of production. With a skeleton camera crew, producers Brendan Hamlin and Ashley Evans would return to Atlanta from the road (usually L.A.) with killer footage of some male fantasy they had just made into a reality. Hosts George and Karen would find themselves dog-fighting in real airplanes, ridding along in military hovercraft, crashing real cars and jumping off buildings. The show was really a lot of fun to work on.
