SPY KIDS: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD
(PG)
MOVIE: *1/2 (out of 5)
DVD EXPERIENCE: **1/2 (out of 5)
In this very special episode: It’s November sweeps, and the Idiots are damn tired of watching television. Merrill overdosed on pretty much every program he follows while Kevin mistakenly swept all the rooms in his house. The Idiots chat about disasters in The Cheesecake Factory and the new Twilight movie. Then they launch into plenty of TV news before running down the shows. After a meaty segment about the good shows on TV, they head into the Sound-Off segment and the DVD recommendations. Then they quickly race out of the Magical Studio in the Sky so they can get ready for Turkey Day coming up this week.

This Week: In order to combat the estrogen explosion in the movie theaters this weekend with The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part I, Kevin invites Dame Elisabeth Rappe into the Magical Studio in the Sky for the female perspective. However, she’s not a fan, and they end up dissecting the movie with more precision than Edward’s vampires teeth on Bella’s uterus. They also break down Happy Feet Two and examine whether cute penguins and snappy dance numbers can actually make a good movie (spoiler alert… they can’t). Then they respond to a listener voice mail and lay down a Fat Guy Five about movie birth scenes, and not in the good way.
