In this very special episode: Because God has it out for Merrill (or at least that was his theory last week) and Hurricane Irene caused a delay in production scheduling, the Idiots decide to do a new show this week as well. Welcome to Idiot Boxers 3.0, or as we like to call it: Idiot Boxers Season Three. They restructure the show to streamline the reviews and have more chit chat (which is code for “Kevin berating Merrill”). They pay their respect to the victims of 9/11, then they celebrate Kevin’s 40th birthday. As the summer series all wrap up, the Idiots prep for a new season of television. Then Kevin breaks Merrill’s heart by declaring his love of Community.

In this very special episode: Apparently Mother Nature is not a fan of The Idiot Boxers because she sent Hurricane Irene up the east coast to knock out Merrill’s power for an entire week. Mere hours after power was restored, the Idiots were back online and talking about TV… well, after a half hour of recounting Hurricane Irene stories flavored with the spicy, hot bitterness of Starbucks. Then, Kevin chimed in with a grand story of an $11,500 burrito. Eventually, the Idiots moved on to what sucked and what rocked, along with TV news and a couple sound-offs, which includes a scathing review of Hulu+.

This Week: Kevin invites Jared Zimney from the Movies in the Mancave video podcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. The discussion gets very mancave-ish as they contemplate old and sexy Helen Mirren as well as unspeakable things about the Little Mermaid. They also touch on the new releases: The Debt, Apollo 18 and Shark Night 3D. Later, they lay out a Fat Guy Five about real-life scary things from movies, then give some DVD and Blu-ray picks. You’ll have to guess while one is the rabid Top Gun fan.
