In this very extra special episode: The Idiots say good-bye to the listeners and the bi-weekly podcast of The Idiot Boxers. But fear not… they will be returning in the fall with a brand new podcast, so watch this feed closely. Merrill will live on to annoy Kevin, and Kevin will have plenty of new chances to make fun of Merrill for various reasons. But before all that nonsense, the Idiots finish out their two-and-a-half-year run with sad news, talking about the shocking and untimely death of Tony Scott. After reminiscing about the director’s life and career, Kevin and Merrill talk about TV news and the wrap-up of the summer shows. Then it’s on to the final Sound-Off and the last Idiot Recommendations before giving the listeners a treat: a taste of what’s to come in the new podcast.

This Week: As Kevin looks ahead to the end of summer and sending his kids back to school, he invites mild-mannered history teacher Trevor Schoenfeld (who, on his off-hours, turns into Schofizzy the movie blogger) into the Magical Studio in the Sky. They chat about the number of new films coming out this week, including ParaNorman, Sparkle, The Expendables 2 and The Odd Life of Timothy Green. They also spend part of the first segment singing the praises of Twitter while they spend a chunk of the middle segment singing the praises of stop-motion animation. After laying down a Fat Guy Five about stop-motion animation, they lay down some classic DVD and Blu-ray picks before packing their bags and heading off to school.
