The Idiot Boxers – Episode 60

Posted on

In this very special episode: It’s another light week for TV watching in the summer, but that doesn’t stop the Idiots from gathering in the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk TV news and other sundry things. They start off with Merrill giving his thoughts on being a real-life production assistant. Later, Kevin moves on to make fun of Merrill for not knowing his cinematic Shakespeare. This leads to other age tests, most of which Merrill surprisingly passes. Later, they talk about the scant TV shows of the past two week. Kevin blows Merrill’s mind in regards to Burn Notice, and they both talk about not getting anything blown while watching HBO’s Real Sex. There’s also TV news, DVD Recommendations and a special Kevin Carr shout-out to Falling Skies.

Episode 263 – I Need to Get That Glitter Out of My Mouth

Posted on

This Week: The summer movie season has officially started, and Kevin has his big bucket of popcorn, ready to start watching big summer movies. Things kick off with Marvel’s The Avengers, so he invites die-hard fangirl Melissa Molina into the Magical Studio in the Sky to gush over this new superhero flick. They also talk about the coming-of-old-age movie The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but the conversation is dominated by the guys in the funny suits. The middle segment offers more Avengers goodness, plus a Fat Guy Five which ranks the other pre-Avengers films. Finally, Kevin and Melissa talk about some DVD releases and sends the listening audience on their merry way to watch what is the best movie of the year so far.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 56

Posted on

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.

Episode 211 – The Crazy Nastyass Fat Guys

Posted on

fatguysatthemovies_banner

This Week: Kevin goes to the ends of the earth – or rather the other side of the earth – to find Simon Miraudo from QuickFlix.com.au as this week’s guest host. While neither one has seen any of the new movies for the week, that doesn’t stop them from talking about the phenomenon of Madea and Robert Pattinson’s smell-the-fart acting. Simon also surprises us with an advanced review of Thor. Then there’s some talk of 3D televisions, Randall’s nature shows and a Fat Guy Five about most anticipated summer (and Australian winter) movies.
