In this very special episode: The world sheds a collective tear of sadness as we wrap up 2010 with the last episode of The Idiot Boxers until 2011 (which is just two weeks away, so it’s really not worth crying over). Kevin and Merrill run down some of the end-of-the-year finales and give their approval of various shows. Kevin tries to derail the show by hitting on Merrill’s cousin by proxy and describe creative uses of cream cheese. Merrill tries to keep things on task, but soon buckles to exhaustion. Then they talk about some TV news and hand out some family-friendly recommendations (which ends a rather family-unfriendly show). Sorry, Dawn from California.

On This Week’s Show: Like the return of the classic science fiction film Tron to theaters, Neil makes a triumphant return to the Magical Studio in the Sky. And as a special Christmas gift to Kevin, he has seen the same number of movies this week. See… Christmas miracles do happen. Full of Yuletide joy, the Fat Guys chat about Dan Akroyd and Justin Timberlake in Yogi Bear, guess about what might happen in How Do You Know, punch their way through award season with The Fighter and enter the grid with Tron: Legacy. Then they talk some box office and throw down a Fat Guy Five about cartoons they want to see get their own live-action/CGI film. The results may surprise you.

On This Week’s Show: While Neil is busy shopping for a huuuuuuuuge Christmas gift for Kevin, Chase Whale from GordonandtheWhale.com visits the Magical Studio in the Sky. After Kevin berates Chase for his jogging habits, the Fat Guy and the Phat Guy talk about the latest Narnia movie. Later, they lament about boring, old everyman Johnny Depp in The Tourist. Finally, after an uncharacteristically professional conversation about box office, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about the best franchises that do not involve Johnny Depp or Angelina Jolie. Then it’s DVD and Blu-ray picks before putting a lid on the show.

In this very special episode: After surviving Thanksgiving and November sweeps, the Idiots get together to go through the basics… and to complain about people who can’t understand the simple concept of aspect ratios. They also hear about Merrill’s terrible, horrible, no go, very bad weekend, and Kevin just laughs. Then they talk rape on TV, lay down some DVD picks and offer some recommendations.

On This Week’s Show: This week, Neil Miller has overdosed on turkey, stuffing and pumpkin pie, a self-destructive behavior that landed him directly into Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. Kevin wishes Neil a speedy recovery and has invited FSR box office guru and co-host of The Golden Briefcase, Jeremy Kirk, into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They talk about the new wide releases that no one has seen and the limited releases that apparently everyone has. From insane ballerinas to kung fu cowboys, Kevin and Jeremy try to do Neil justice by talking about a bunch of movies they haven’t seen… and saying a lot of creepy things about Natalie Portman.

So he invites Grae Drake from the Popcorn Mafia podcast to join him for a big plate of food with all the fixin’s. Grae takes her special talent for derailing the show and sends everything off the tracks in the infamous middle segment. Kevin tries to talk about the new movies, but they end up talking turkeys instead.

In this very special episode: The Idiots are facing holiday fatigue and the burdens of November Sweeps. Kevin faces the challenges by refusing to catch up on his stories, while Merrill pushes ahead and tries to watch everything on television. The first big casualty of the season is the loss of a “Sound Off”-only segment, which was absorbed into the final segment like so much turkey in Kevin’s belly. They have a smack-down over Conan, and later Merrill reveals too much about his excitement for The Golden Girls complete series package. Yikes!
