This Week: The summer is almost over, so the last days of summer movies are upon us. Kevin invited Michelle McCue into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the new movies of the week, including The Campaign, The Bourne Legacy and Hope Springs. They also chat a bit about movie trends, including the rush to push everything to a 2013 release date and what Joss Whedon needs to be careful of in his quest to make Avengers 2. Then, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about celebrities they don’t want to see having sex before handing out some DVD and Blu-ray selections and going on their merry way.

In this very special episode: The Idiots get set to make a very special announcement, but you’ll have to wait for the end of the episode for this. Before the announcement is made, the Idiots talk about crazy boutique shops in Long Island, being fat and 40 at an amusement park, pillow-and-blanket forts and why Kevin’s kids like it when daddy drinks. Then, they move on to TV news with some insights into new shows in development. In the third segment, the Idiots review the shows of the last two weeks and weigh in (a little late) on whether it’d be funny or not if Daniel Tosh were raped right now. Finally, the Idiots lay down some DVD suggestions and a charming Idiot Recommendation. Then there’s that announcement at the end. (Spoiler: Kevin’s not pregnant.)

This Week: As the dog days of summer kick into full gear, Kevin invites ScreenRant’s Paul Young into the Magical Studio in the Sky to chat about Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days. Who cares if Fox didn’t screen this movie for each of them. Of course, soon the conversation turns towards the Total Recall remake, which leads to inevitable comparisons to the original. In the middle segment, they talk about the joys of handling three boobs, some box office predictions and a Fat Guy Five about their favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger movies. Finally, they head into the DVD Round-up and send the audience on its merry way.
