In this very special episode: The Idiots start off talking not about television, but about music videos, as Merrill tries to understand Kevin’s unnatural obsession with Rebecca Black’s “Friday.” Eventually, they get on track to talk about what rocked before moving on to an uncharacteristically cogent discussion about television news. No worries, because Merrill miraculously derails himself in the “What Sucked” segment by over-ranting about V. Eventually, the Idiots wrap things up with DVD reviews and recommendations.

This Week: Kevin welcomes Rudie Obias from Gordon and the Whale into the Magical Studio in the Sky. Even though Kevin hasn’t seen any of the films this week (with no thanks to the studios, who didn’t screen them anywhere in his state), he’s able to talk about them. Rudie takes a look at the kick-ass nature of Sucker Punch while Kevin tries to explain the appeal of the Diary of a Wimpy Kid books. Together they chat about box office, the state of 3D versus ticket price, DVD picks and a look at five fun films (and film series) aimed at the 14-year-old boy in all of us.

This Week: While Neil is hobnobbing with celebrities and indie rock chicks at the South by Southwest Film Festival, Kevin invites Grae Drake from The Popcorn Mafia Podcast into the Magical Studio in the Sky. And while some shows get derailed, this episode never quite makes it on the track. Sure, they talk about the new movies – including The Lincoln Lawyer, Paul, Limitless and Bereavement, they also talk about bizarre topics including Rebecca Black’s “Friday,” perverted Superman, face-licking and, of coures, boobs.

In this very special episode: The Idiots come out of the gate fighting, then talk about what they liked for about 25 minutes. They refocus on some more intelligent discussion in the second segment with a voicemail from a listener. But soon, things derail as the Idiots take the Charlie Sheen drug, infusing their bodies with tiger’s blood and Adonis DNA. After their faces melt off and Kevin’s children weep over their exploded bodies, they talk about TV news, what they didn’t like on TV and recommendations. Winning!

This Week: Kevin was feeling a bit under the weather, so he called in Dr. Cole Abaius from Film School Rejects and Reject Radio to make a house call to the Magical Studio in the Sky. While there, Dr. Abaius stuck around to talk about the latest movies, extreme female lactation, full-grown live human births, The Mountains of Madness, Red State and why box office pundits are like political scientists. There’s an alarmingly cogent disucssion of Hollywood trends and box office, but Kevin makes sure to derail it all with a quip about Drew Barrymore. After a brief Fat Guy Five, the good Doctor and his chubby sidekick lay down some DVD and Blu-ray reviews. Hoo-rah!
