In this very special episode: Even though the early weeks of summer have left the Idiots with fewer options to watch, they have plenty to talk about in this episode. After some early shenanigans which include Amanda Seyfreid’s breasts and Merrill’s escort ads on Craigslist, the Idiots get down with their reviews of the current shows, including a look at the new TNT drama Falling Skies. Of course, things soon deteriorate in the episode as Kevin tells Walt Flanigan and a pot-smoking, chubby filmmaker what they can do with themselves. Later, Merrill actually complains about Flashpoint, and Kevin takes aim at fraudulant criminals in Extreme Couponing.

This Week: Kevin invites film critic at large and author Alonso Duralde into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk penguins and green-colored will. Having both seen the two new movies this week, more reviewing actually happens on this show than ever before. While Kevin and Alonso may agree about some things for this weekend, they discover other films for which their opinions don’t quite jive. Still, that doesn’t stop them from handing down a Fat Guy Five about good Jim Carrey movies, recommending off-the-wall foreign films and answering some cogent listener feedback. Then there’s the DVD segment, which puts the focus on the real enemy… Tori Spelling.
