The Idiot Boxers – Episode 48
In this very special episode: The Idiots ring in the new year by pushing through the January slump. They share their holiday stories – from Merrill’s very traditional Jewish-Japanese sushi sandwich to Kevin’s undying love for roast pork and sour kraut. Kevin gets called out on his RottenTomatoes reviews while Merrill reports on his anthropological studies of Long Island high school girls coordinating the pumping of overpriced gas. Later, the Idiots talk TV news (which seems heavily weighted towards An American Horror Story) and later chat about what they watched. Then it’s on to DVD suggestions and Idiot Recommendations before signing off for another two weeks.

Episode 246 – I Need Some Scratch
This Week: In the cold wasteland of January, Kevin invites Rudie Obias back into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the end of 2011 and what to look forward to in 2012. They also look briefly at The Devil Inside, which wasn’t screened for press and represents the only new wide release this week (an honor that is shared with Nicolas Cage’s Season of the Witch from last year). Kevin and Rudie talk about their most anticipated films of 2012 and what they though worked in 2011. They also go blue in the third segment, talking about what they would be willing to do to make money in the new year. They also go over the recent box office numbers and lay down a Fat Guy Five about great exorcist moments in film. Finally, they chat about the new DVDs and Blu-rays for the week before heading back out into that cold wasteland of January films.

The 10 Worst Films of 2011
BY KEVIN CARR
As the year ends, many critics rush to build a list of top films from the past twelve months. While I do that myself (and you can check it out here), it’s sometimes more fun (or at least more cathartic) to compile a hate-filled rant that masquerades as a Worst of the Year list. Like any year, there have been plenty of terrible movies, but here is the sour cream of the crop for 2011.
