Episode 269 – Kevin’s Stripper Story

This Week: In order to be relevant with Hollywood and the stars of the new movie Rock of Ages, Kevin invites fellow child-of-the-80s Sean Dwyer from FilmJunk.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky. There, they talk about Tom Cruise’s sagging breasts, jukebox musicals puked on by Glee and when Adam Sandler will stop making movies like Merman… er… That’s My Boy. Kevin also tells how he almost became a male stripper, after talking box office and before laying out a Fat Guy Five about Awesome Tom Cruise performances. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up before sending Sean back into his junkyard of film.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 59

In this very special episode: The Idiots gather once again in the Magical Studio in the Sky to make it across the bridge of regular-season shows and the summer-seasons series. Even though there wasn’t much happening on the television front these past couple weeks, they find some things to talk about, including Kevin’s shenanigans at his sister’s wedding and Merrill being a lightning rod for Prometheus haters. They do manage to talk about some really depressing television news, along with a handful of reviews. And Merrill has also managed to join the world of the enlightened by catching up on Cougar Town. Finally, it’s a sound-off, DVDs and recommendations before they Idiots head off into the summer.

Episode 268 – Pun Entirely Intended

This Week: Because not all the critics out there in Criticland were able to check out an early screening of Prometheus, Kevin makes a desperate move and has Nick Herum from MoviesHateYouToo.com back on the show. Nick graciously agrees, but won’t stoop to seeing the latest Madagascar movie. Still, the two Fat Guys manage to talk about the link between Santa and the Ice Age films, the finer points of queefing and take some pathetically unfair shots at Brittany Murphy (please don’t hate us). They also manage to have a cogent and (sometimes) clean discussion of the movies this week. They rattle down a Fat Guy Five about worthy prequels, and later fill up on DVD and Blu-ray recommendations.
