This Week: In the doldrums of summer, Kevin is wandering aimlessly because there were no screenings for any of the movies opening for Labor Day weekend. So he invites fellow live-tweeter Leonard Wilson into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about whatever they can figure out from the trailers of the movies. Later, they examine Olivia Munn’s career and what she could do to get more exposure (if you know what they mean). Then they talk about the box office of the previous week and also lay down a Fat Guy Five about children’s films that adults can enjoy as well as kids. Then, in the final segment, they run down a slew of DVDs and Blu-rays before saying good-bye for another week.

This Week: At the dawn of a new podcasting age, Kevin invites Merrill Barr back to the Magical Studio in the Sky to look at the dog days of summer movies. They also tease their new podcast that will start in September: OSNAP. Then they look at the new movies, including Premium Rush, Hit & Run and The Apparition. After Merrill swears up a storm during the radio segments, they launch into the Internet-only segment where they develop new swear words and talk box office. Merrill gets uncomfortable with sex talk again, so they move into the Fat Guy Five about scary movies. Then what’s left is the DVD Round-Up and riding off into the sunset.

In this very extra special episode: The Idiots say good-bye to the listeners and the bi-weekly podcast of The Idiot Boxers. But fear not… they will be returning in the fall with a brand new podcast, so watch this feed closely. Merrill will live on to annoy Kevin, and Kevin will have plenty of new chances to make fun of Merrill for various reasons. But before all that nonsense, the Idiots finish out their two-and-a-half-year run with sad news, talking about the shocking and untimely death of Tony Scott. After reminiscing about the director’s life and career, Kevin and Merrill talk about TV news and the wrap-up of the summer shows. Then it’s on to the final Sound-Off and the last Idiot Recommendations before giving the listeners a treat: a taste of what’s to come in the new podcast.
