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.

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers return to their cage in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk the latest TV shows. Merrill is giddy about yet irritated at the Emmys, while Kevin is completely confused and insisting that Heroes won best drama and Miley Cyrus was named Best Actress. The confusion is either from old age or the fact that Kevin is now employing the Neil Miller technique to his television viewing. And Merrill quietly accepts it like a trooper. The Idiots talk about what they thought rocked or sucked in the mostly USA Network slate of summer shows, chat about the Emmys and look ahead to a world of on-demand viewing of any and all television shows. And no talk about Flashpoint this week (well… almost).
[audio:http://merrillbarr.com/merrill/ib/idiotboxers_ep13.mp3 ]On This Week’s Show: Kevin and Neil welcome a bevy of guests to the Magical Studio in the Sky for a special edition of Fat Guys at the Movies. In addition to reviewing the films of the week, they are joined by competitive eating legend Crazy Legs Conti, who dishes on his experience at the Netflix movie-watching challenge. Kevin also chats with Joe Neff, the Co-Master of Scarimonies at the all-night horror movie marathon. Not much room to offend people this week, but lots of shenanigans still ensue.
Films Reviewed this Week: Body of Lies, City of Ember, The Express and Quarantine.
