In this very special episode: Before the Idiots take off to celebrate Christmas, Hanukkah and eventually the New Year, they squeeze one last show into 2011. They talk about their holiday plans and the toils of potty training. Then, they get serious for a moment to talk about the problems with SOPA. After this, it’s into the news segment to talk about the latest stories about television. After rattling through the shows that they found most interesting these past two weeks, Merrill offers a sound-off about a possible groundbreaking distribution model from Louis CK. Finally, it’s the DVD picks and then a final farewell to the television of 2011.

This Week: As the holiday movie season swings into gear, Kevin invites Grae Drake from CNN, Movies.com and the Popcorn Mafia into the Magical Studio in the Sky to get chip-faced. They break down the new Sherlock Holmes movie before turning into chipmunks for the second segment. There, they give a squeaky-voiced review of the new Alvin and the Chipmunks movie as well as the only non-sequel in wide release, Young Adult. In the infamous middle segment, they look at the Golden Globe-nominated Carnage before Grae totally geeks out over Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol. They also talk about sundry things like the weirdest porn Kevin’s seen on the internet, why Muslim women shouldn’t handle a big studded cucumber and how award season is shaping up. It’s a classy show to say the least.

This Week: Kevin invites Devindra Hardawar from Slashfilmcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. In a strange twist of events, the conversation goes first into a discussion of technology, then into a uncharacteristically relevant and respectful talk about the movies of the week. Kevin and Devindra chat about the odd paths of David Gordon Green’s career with The Sitter and roll their eyes at New Year’s Eve. Then they lament Kevin not loving Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy before moving into the infamous (and unnaturally clean) middle segment to talk box office and answer a Facebook question. After laying out a Fat Guy Five, Kevin and Devindra rattle through the DVD Rundown and send the audience on its way into the great beyond.
