This Week: As Kevin looks ahead to the end of summer and sending his kids back to school, he invites mild-mannered history teacher Trevor Schoenfeld (who, on his off-hours, turns into Schofizzy the movie blogger) into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They chat about the number of new films coming out this week, including ParaNorman, Sparkle, The Expendables 2 and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. They also spend part of the first segment singing the praises of Twitter while they spend a chunk of the middle segment singing the praises of stop-motion animation. After laying down a Fat Guy Five about stop-motion animation, they lay down some classic DVD and Blu-ray picks before packing their bags and heading off to school.

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.)
