Episode 267 – All Hookers Aside

Posted on

This Week: After recovering from Memorial Day week, Kevin stumbles into the Magical Studio in the Sky, exhausted and suffering from Will Smith fatigue. He invites Steve Reeves, whom you might remember from his appearance s on Fat Guys at the Movies: Second Reel, to talk about the first week of June’s summer releases. They chat about Snow Bella and the Thor Guy and throw down some love for the new-fangled Piranha franchise. Kevin and Steve launch into a relatively clean middle segment, talking about enriching your film-watching experience but also giving a bit of advice about hookers and street walkers. They also throw down a Fat Guy Five focused on movies featuring animals that attack. Then it’s tie for the DVD Round-Up and for Kevin to take a nap.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 58

Posted on

In this very special episode: For Memorial Day weekend, the Idiots give a heartfelt thanks to all men and women in the military who have served the country, and they take a moment to remember those who have fallen. They then take some time to talk TV news and go through a slate of season (and series) finales. After stumbling into discussions about Slip ‘N’ Slides, Kevin Smith’s hypocrisy and Will Smith’s (so far) bulletproof charisma, they settle into some DVD suggestions, two Sound-Offs and an Idiot Recommendation. The Idiots then prepare to face the summer season of television and say good-bye to their loyal fans in Kenya and Ireland.

Episode 266 – A Love Letter to Love

Posted on

This Week: Prepping for the big Memorial Day movie weekend, Kevin invites a real pro into the Magical Studio in the Sky: Grae Drake from the Popcorn Mafia, Fandango and Movies.com. They butt heads about Will Smith and Men in Black 3 and commiserate over not getting a screening of Chernobyl Diaries. Grae shares the reasons why Will Smith is awesome at junkets and Tommy Lee Jones is a grumpy old man. They also dissect the validity of Battleship as a big summer movie and Taylor Kitsch’s viability as a big movie star. And Grae gives her two cents about Wes Anderson’s violent children’s love story Moonrise Kingdom. Then they pimp-slap down a shiznit of a Fat Guys Five about 90s movies that deserve a sequel now. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up before they ride off into the sunset.

Episode 265 – Bobby Fischer Is Dead

Posted on

This Week: Even though school is still in session, it’s full-on summer movie season in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So Kevin invites Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com to join him to talk about the new summer blockbusters. They laugh about The Dictator and roll their eyes at What to Expect When You’re Expecting. They also bemoan the big, dumb actioner Battleship and it’s star Brooklyn Decker, whom Nick politely refers to as “the camel toe girl.” Then in the middle segment, things go off the rails as they talk about ginormous breasts, strip clubs, box office, Harry Potter and Nick having his way with Bobby Fischer. They also lay down a Fat Guy Five about what board games should be made into movies. Finally, back on the radio, they talk DVDs and Blu-rays before riding off into the sunset.
