This Week: Kevin is upset about many things in this world, and he wants to change them. He comes to the conclusion that the only way to do this is through the dance and protest art. Unfortunately, Kevin can’t dance worth a damn. So he invites Gleekast co-host Emily Intravia into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about dance and protest art with the new dance flick Step Up Revolution. They also talk about alien invasions and movies about writers with The Watch and Ruby Sparks. They also talk some more about The Dark Knight Rises, Taylor Kitsch’s flailing career and some DVD recommendations. When it comes to the reviews, they really step up. (You see what I did there?)

In this very special episode: The Idiots hit a variety of topics this week, starting with some reactions to the Aurora theater shootings and shaming people on both sides of the aisle for politicizing the tragedy. They also rip box office whore Nikki Finke a couple new ones for her reporting on the event. (Note: If you want to skip these elements of the podcast, scoot ahead to the 22:00 mark to hear the normal Idiot Boxers shenanigans.) Then the Idiots talk about other things that have been on their minds, including traffic accidents, kids playing poker and anal sex. Then the Idiots move on to talk about just a few items of TV news and an iTunes review. After reviewing a handful of shows, Kevin has a sound-off and DVD recommendations while Merrill gives a shout-out to a new web series in the Idiot Recommendations.
