The Idiot Boxers – Episode 56

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots are on fire this week, both for television and for movies. They open up their first segment with a discussion of Marvel films and the insanity around spoilers and regional screenings. Kevin also throws some love to the Ohio 24-Hour Sci-Fi Marathon (and stay tuned for a Second Reel episode on that). Then it’s into the television news, which is pretty hearty this week and open for discussion. Next, the Idiots talk about various television shows they watched, including a scathingly sexist (not really) rant about Girls. Finally, they lay down some recommendations and DVD picks before assembling their way out of here.

Episode 261 – Estrogen Week

Posted on

This Week: It’s “Estrogen Week” in the Magical Studio in the Sky, where we celebrate chick flicks not because we love them but because those are the only big releases in theaters. So naturally, Kevin invites another dude into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about said chick flicks. They also talk about Chimpanzee, the height of various actors, Michael Bay’s penchant for racism, interacting with filmmakers they don’t particularly like and a Fat Guy Five about the awfulness that is Nicholas Sparks movies. They also throw in some DVD and Blu-ray recommendations before spraying down the studio with testosterone and declaring themselves awesome.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 55

Posted on

In this very special episode: As the TV seasons wind down for the year and the Idiots prepare for the summer seasons, it’s a slow time in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So in this spring slump, discussion turns to iPhone apps like “Draw Something” and other irrelevant topics. Still, the Idiots manage to squeak out a little TV news and reviews, and again they burn more time talking about Kevin Smith and the like. With both yawning and exhausted from all the TV they’re not watching, the Idiots wrap things up with a light segment with DVDs and a Recommendation for more 80s TV goodness.
