Episode 257 – Entertaining My Pants Right Off
This Week: Being that Kevin is an expert on hunger, which is something he feels when he isn’t able to stuff his face for an hour or so, he eagerly awaits a discussion of the new film The Hunger Games. Also, since Kevin has no time to read anything more than picture books (because you’ll remember he read The Lorax several weeks ago), he invites Film School Rejects’ Associate Editor Kate Erbland into the Magical Studio in the Sky to discuss the book and film. They also give some restrained box office predictions and lay down a Fat Guy Five about movies that involve fighting to the death. Are you not entertained?

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 53
In this very special episode: Even though there has been plenty happening in on television, the Idiots slow down a bit and realize there hasn’t been a ton of interesting things happening, aside from Merrill catching the superflu and fighting back coughing fits sparked by Kevin’s awesomeness. That doesn’t stop them from ranting about crazy teens and the Project X effect, St. Patty’s Day and oral sex. They also go through a nice slice of television news before moving on to actual reviews of shows. Then it’s a Sound-Off frenzy as they throw down three topics before offering some DVD options and recommendations.

This Week: Kevin brings back a blast from the past into the Magical Studio in the Sky. Classic guest host Kristin Dreyer Kramer from NightsAndWeekends.com joins Kevin to talk about John Carter and Silent House, along with the lamentations about A Thousand Words with Eddie Murphy.
