The Idiot Boxers – Episode 58

Posted on

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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 53

Posted on

In this very special episode: Even though there has been plenty happening in on television, the Idiots slow down a bit and realize there hasn’t been a ton of interesting things happening, aside from Merrill catching the superflu and fighting back coughing fits sparked by Kevin’s awesomeness. That doesn’t stop them from ranting about crazy teens and the Project X effect, St. Patty’s Day and oral sex. They also go through a nice slice of television news before moving on to actual reviews of shows. Then it’s a Sound-Off frenzy as they throw down three topics before offering some DVD options and recommendations.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 52

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots have only a few stories from the past two weeks to talk about, but they fill up the opening segment with a hate-filled Facebook post accusing them of insensitivity to Whitney Houston. Then they answer a more relevant question about J.J. Abrams from a listener. But this doesn’t happen without lots of penis jokes, of course. As they move on to talk about TV news and reviews, things simmer down a bit. Finally, they close out with Kevin’s rant about the obsolescence of broadcast news and Merrill laying down some love for Tom Selleck’s ‘stache.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 49

Posted on

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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 45

Posted on

In this very special episode: It’s November sweeps, and the Idiots are damn tired of watching television. Merrill overdosed on pretty much every program he follows while Kevin mistakenly swept all the rooms in his house. The Idiots chat about disasters in The Cheesecake Factory and the new Twilight movie. Then they launch into plenty of TV news before running down the shows. After a meaty segment about the good shows on TV, they head into the Sound-Off segment and the DVD recommendations. Then they quickly race out of the Magical Studio in the Sky so they can get ready for Turkey Day coming up this week.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 43

Posted on

In this very special episode: Merrill has given the Magical Studio in the Sky a terrifying new name, ostensibly for the fear factor of Halloween, and Kevin just wants to get out unscathed. The Idiots start off by chatting about the New York Comic Con, the 24-Hour Horror Movie Marathon and various ailments in their respective families. Then it’s on to news about TV before launching into a look at what they’ve been watching. Kevin bemoans horror-themed television programs while Merrill continues to jizz all over Flashpoint. Was that too much? Listen to the show, and get back to us with an answer.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 41

Posted on

In this very special episode: It’s premiere week, so the Idiots were busy watching hours and hours of television. It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it. But before they give the rundown on the new and returning shows, they talk about Facebook, Netflix Twi-hards, Nikki Finke and a burned dog butt. Then they move on to television news before giving feedback on the good (like New Girl), the bad (like Whitney) and the ugly (like Charlie’s Angels). Then they move on to the Sound Offs, DVD suggestions and the Idiot Recommendations before sailing off into the sunset. And a big thanks to Coby Bell from Burn Notice for giving us a lead-in this week.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 33

Posted on

In this very special episode: With most of the season finales out of the way, the Idiots get ready for a short show… until they find FozzieBare squatting in the Magical Studio in the Sky. The more the merrier in Idiotville, so they invite Fozzie to join the show. Apparently the Rapture happens in the middle of the show because Fozzie disappears. But that doesn’t stop the Idiots from talking about what rocked, what sucked, TV news and how pornography can affect a podcast.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 32

Posted on

In this very special episode: Well, the Idiots were not taken in the Rapture, so they’re still here watching television. And it’s a good thing too because this was when many of the finales happened and all the renewal/cancellation news hit. So the Idiots talk about what they thought rocked and what they thought sucked, then move on to TV news. There’s also a special guest in the final segment before the Idiots break out some sound-offs and DVD recommendations. But don’t worry… there’s plenty of other goodies in this show, including an iTunes review all the way across the pond from the UK, some discussion about body function and why Merrill just needs a hug.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 31

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots celebrate Mother’s Day by talking about television, even though Kevin doesn’t seem too excited about the whole thing. Merrill makes up for it with passion about everything from the return of Flashpoint to Percy the bad guy on Nikita. Sadly, Kevin can barely muster enough excitement for more Doctor Who and the return of South Park goodness. After rattling off a nice array of TV news, the Idiots chat about some DVDs and lay down some rather bizarre recommendations.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 30

Posted on

In this very special episode: Because the Idiots are welcoming of all faiths, the Idiot Easter recording begins with Kevin asking some major theological questions. Yet somehow, the episode derails into discussions about shower sex. Still, the Idiots manage to talk about what they thought rocked and sucked in the past two weeks, with Kevin bringing out some claws for a handful to shows and Merrill sounding like the nice guy. After some TV news and a somber nod to Elisabeth Sladen, the Idiots move on to some sound offs, DVD picks and Idiot Recommendations.
