The Idiot Boxers – Episode 37

In this very special episode: The Idiots start out bemoaning the most recent live-tweet, the Nicolas Cage crapfest known as The Wicker Man. Later, Kevin does his artful impression of Merrill, and later extrapolates how they both sound to the audience. There’s promises of taking Merrill to a strip club and maybe a pie in the face during the Late-Night Chat Room. Oh, and the Idiots also take some time to talk about what rocked and what sucked on television these past two weeks. Then more shenanigans with child molestation on Diff’rent Strokes, DVD recap and an Idiot Recommendation.

Episode 224 – Everyone Marries a Prostitute

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: After the wake of Comic-Con coverage, Kevin invites Dame Elisabeth Rappe into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the event and sink their teeth into the grizzled coverage of Cowboys and Aliens. In the process, they also drop-kick a few Smurfs and Kevin unleashes venom all over Crazy Stupid Love. They also talk waaaaaaay too much about prostitutes in the old west and San Diego, plus Kevin gets the dirt on which transportation workers at Comic-Con you should avoid. Finally, there’s a story about a parrot and a Fat Guy Five about mash-up movies. And some DVD recommendations as well. Can’t let you go without some of that sweetness.

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Because every other internet writer, blogger and entertainment journalist is braving Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin invites Mel Valentin from eFilmCritic.com and SFStation.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to take a look at Captain America and Friends with Benefits. And yeah, they talk about how hot Mila Kunis is. They also talk about the teasers for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises, before explaining why origin stories are not always necessary. Finally, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about actors who should never star as a superhero before handing out some DVD recommendations.
