This Week: After recovering from Memorial Day week, Kevin stumbles into the Magical Studio in the Sky, exhausted and suffering from Will Smith fatigue. He invites Steve Reeves, whom you might remember from his appearance s on Fat Guys at the Movies: Second Reel, to talk about the first week of June’s summer releases. They chat about Snow Bella and the Thor Guy and throw down some love for the new-fangled Piranha franchise. Kevin and Steve launch into a relatively clean middle segment, talking about enriching your film-watching experience but also giving a bit of advice about hookers and street walkers. They also throw down a Fat Guy Five focused on movies featuring animals that attack. Then it’s tie for the DVD Round-Up and for Kevin to take a nap.

In this very special episode: For Memorial Day weekend, the Idiots give a heartfelt thanks to all men and women in the military who have served the country, and they take a moment to remember those who have fallen. They then take some time to talk TV news and go through a slate of season (and series) finales. After stumbling into discussions about Slip ‘N’ Slides, Kevin Smith’s hypocrisy and Will Smith’s (so far) bulletproof charisma, they settle into some DVD suggestions, two Sound-Offs and an Idiot Recommendation. The Idiots then prepare to face the summer season of television and say good-bye to their loyal fans in Kenya and Ireland.

This Week: Prepping for the big Memorial Day movie weekend, Kevin invites a real pro into the Magical Studio in the Sky: Grae Drake from the Popcorn Mafia, Fandango and Movies.com. They butt heads about Will Smith and Men in Black 3 and commiserate over not getting a screening of Chernobyl Diaries. Grae shares the reasons why Will Smith is awesome at junkets and Tommy Lee Jones is a grumpy old man. They also dissect the validity of Battleship as a big summer movie and Taylor Kitsch’s viability as a big movie star. And Grae gives her two cents about Wes Anderson’s violent children’s love story Moonrise Kingdom. Then they pimp-slap down a shiznit of a Fat Guys Five about 90s movies that deserve a sequel now. Then it’s the DVD Round-Up before they ride off into the sunset.
