In this very special episode: It’s winding down through May sweeps, and there’s tons of renewal, cancellation and pick-up news. So the Idiots have a busy time ahead of them. But that doesn’t stop them from getting sidetracked about The Avengers and other summer movies. A surprisingly grumpy Kevin also rants about TIME Magazine’s breastfeeding cover and also complains about Mother’s Day. The Idiots talk about a selection of new shows coming in the fall as well as the peculiarities of some shows that were renewed or canceled. Then they chat about a few shows they’ve been watching before throwing out some DVD recommendations and an impromptu Sound-Off by Kevin. (Don’t worry… he’s done talking about breastfeeding for the episode.)

This Week: Fully in the wake of The Avengers afterglow, Kevin invites fellow podcaster and movie blogger Rudie Obias (or as Kevin fondly refers to him, Rudio-O!) into the Magical Studio in the Sky to get all creepy and gothic and stuff. They geek out a little bit more about The Avengers, but soon talk about the latest Tim Burton/Johnny Depp collaboration, Dark Shadows. After dissecting this modern vampire comedy, they move into the infamous middle segment where they look at box office and ponder the question as to whether The Avengers will score more than $100 million in its second weekend. Using fewer run-on sentences than this summary, they also give a Fat Guy Five about great cinematic vampires. Then it’s some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before heading off into the night.

This Week: The summer movie season has officially started, and Kevin has his big bucket of popcorn, ready to start watching big summer movies. Things kick off with Marvel’s The Avengers, so he invites die-hard fangirl Melissa Molina into the Magical Studio in the Sky to gush over this new superhero flick. They also talk about the coming-of-old-age movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but the conversation is dominated by the guys in the funny suits. The middle segment offers more Avengers goodness, plus a Fat Guy Five which ranks the other pre-Avengers films. Finally, Kevin and Melissa talk about some DVD releases and sends the listening audience on their merry way to watch what is the best movie of the year so far.
