In this very special episode: The Idiots are on fire this week, both for television and for movies. They open up their first segment with a discussion of Marvel films and the insanity around spoilers and regional screenings. Kevin also throws some love to the Ohio 24-Hour Sci-Fi Marathon (and stay tuned for a Second Reel episode on that). Then it’s into the television news, which is pretty hearty this week and open for discussion. Next, the Idiots talk about various television shows they watched, including a scathingly sexist (not really) rant about Girls. Finally, they lay down some recommendations and DVD picks before assembling their way out of here.
