The Idiot Boxers – Episode 49

In this very special episode: The Idiots ignore the trending topics about the #NFL and #DowntonAbbey to continue their pursuit of all things television – from godawful shows like Work It, Whitney and Are You There, Chelsea? to fantastic shows like Shameless and New Girl. Merrill starts the show off strong by talking about what he likes to do when he’s alone (hint, hint, it’s not watching television), and later Kevin spends most of his time tracking down nekked photos of Emmy Rossum. The Idiots also go through some television news and rip through some DVD recommendations. Kevin also unloads on Joe Paterno… twice.

Episode 248 – The Lando Apology

This Week: Kevin is awash in love for George Lucas, so he sallies forth to see Red Tails, then an early peek at Haywire. After having a few hopes dashed, he invites Emily Intravia from DeadlyDollsHouse.com and Gleekast to join him to talk about the new movies of the week. They chew the fat about George Lucas hits and misses, Steven Soderbergh’s way of redefining a genre and why British actress Kate Beckinsale sounds like she’s doing a fake British accent in the Underworld movies. They also talk about the Oscar bait flick Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close before going into box office analysis and a special George Lucas Fat Guy Five.

Episode 247 – My Name Is Tim

This Week: The void of wide screenings of new releases continues as Kevin tries to weather a winter cold which makes him sound husky and sexy like Demi Moore. He invites Tim Buel from The Golden Briefcase into the Magical Studio in the Sky to chat about gospel plays, 3D retro animation and Marky Mark and the Contraband Bunch. They look at the new movies, then chat about the insanity of The Devil Inside donkey punching the box office. Later, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about what old movies should get a retroactive 3D treatment. Then they give out some DVD recommendations and head back out into the frozen screening wasteland of winter.
