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.

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.

This Week: Because every other internet writer, blogger and entertainment journalist is braving Hall H at the San Diego Comic-Con, Kevin invites Mel Valentin from eFilmCritic.com and SFStation.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to take a look at Captain America and Friends with Benefits. And yeah, they talk about how hot Mila Kunis is. They also talk about the teasers for The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises, before explaining why origin stories are not always necessary. Finally, they lay down a Fat Guy Five about actors who should never star as a superhero before handing out some DVD recommendations.
