This Week: Kevin and Kristin Dreyer Kramer start off talking about Halloween and trick-or-treat costumes. Soon, they move to the subject of the latest scary movie, Sinister. Then things get political as Iranian extremists take over the Magical Studio in the Sky and take the hosts hostage. While trapped, Kevin and Kristin talk about Argo, then fight their way to freedom with the skillz they learned from watching Kevin James in Here Comes the Boom. Safely back home, they give a preview to Seven Psychopaths and discuss the box office before moving on to DVDs and Blu-ray and riding off into the sunset.

In this very special episode: The Idiots ring in the new year by pushing through the January slump. They share their holiday stories – from Merrill’s very traditional Jewish-Japanese sushi sandwich to Kevin’s undying love for roast pork and sour kraut. Kevin gets called out on his RottenTomatoes reviews while Merrill reports on his anthropological studies of Long Island high school girls coordinating the pumping of overpriced gas. Later, the Idiots talk TV news (which seems heavily weighted towards An American Horror Story) and later chat about what they watched. Then it’s on to DVD suggestions and Idiot Recommendations before signing off for another two weeks.

In this very special episode: The Idiots are recovering from Thanksgiving and Black Friday, crawling back into the depths of the living while watching as many TV shows as they can (well, as many as Merrill can while Kevin tries to fit in as many as possible between award films). They chat about how their holiday season has been going, including why Merrill shouldn’t be allowed on the freeway and how Kevin hands out Turkey Day advice about embracing your fetishes. They roll through some scant movie news before chatting about the shows they’re watching, sound off about a few things that annoy them and give some DVD suggestions and an idiot recommendation.

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.

In this very special episode: Now that Halloween is over, the Idiots take some time to complain about the problems they had with the holiday. Kevin then talks about how he’s approaching award season, then complains about an idiot woman in his Tower Heist screening and reads a flame about his Tree of Life review. Then Merrill talks a bit about his plumbing failure. Finally the Idiots listen to a weird voice mail before talking about television news and reviews. Finally, they sound off about some trends, give DVD suggestions and rattle off an Idiot Recommendation. Oh, and plenty of terrorist rape!

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.

In this very special episode: In what just might be the most offensive episode of the show yet, Merrill and Kevin cut loose some shows off their DVR line-up. They complain about all things Whitney and fawn over New Girl a little more. Plus, they talk about all the hot new shows coming over the airwaves. They also talk about what makes Merrill’s ass so delicious and why Kevin is obsessed with horror movies. After rattling through a slate of TV news, they also take a look at some DVDs and Idiot Recommendations. And be sure to stick around for the post-credit sequence, where the Idiots really attempt to alienate some listeners.

In this very special episode: With the first episode of 2011, the Idiot Boxers ring in the new year by talking about the best and worst of 2010. After reviewing the scant number of new shows over the past two weeks, they talk about what rocked and what sucked in the past year. Then, the Idiots moved on to sound-off, DVD picks and a couple recommendations. Happy 2011, folks!

In this very special episode: The world sheds a collective tear of sadness as we wrap up 2010 with the last episode of The Idiot Boxers until 2011 (which is just two weeks away, so it’s really not worth crying over). Kevin and Merrill run down some of the end-of-the-year finales and give their approval of various shows. Kevin tries to derail the show by hitting on Merrill’s cousin by proxy and describe creative uses of cream cheese. Merrill tries to keep things on task, but soon buckles to exhaustion. Then they talk about some TV news and hand out some family-friendly recommendations (which ends a rather family-unfriendly show). Sorry, Dawn from California.
