The Idiot Boxers – Episode 64: Series Finale

Posted on

In this very extra special episode: The Idiots say good-bye to the listeners and the bi-weekly podcast of The Idiot Boxers. But fear not… they will be returning in the fall with a brand new podcast, so watch this feed closely. Merrill will live on to annoy Kevin, and Kevin will have plenty of new chances to make fun of Merrill for various reasons. But before all that nonsense, the Idiots finish out their two-and-a-half-year run with sad news, talking about the shocking and untimely death of Tony Scott. After reminiscing about the director’s life and career, Kevin and Merrill talk about TV news and the wrap-up of the summer shows. Then it’s on to the final Sound-Off and the last Idiot Recommendations before giving the listeners a treat: a taste of what’s to come in the new podcast.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 59

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots gather once again in the Magical Studio in the Sky to make it across the bridge of regular-season shows and the summer-seasons series. Even though there wasn’t much happening on the television front these past couple weeks, they find some things to talk about, including Kevin’s shenanigans at his sister’s wedding and Merrill being a lightning rod for Prometheus haters. They do manage to talk about some really depressing television news, along with a handful of reviews. And Merrill has also managed to join the world of the enlightened by catching up on Cougar Town. Finally, it’s a sound-off, DVDs and recommendations before they Idiots head off into the summer.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 40

Posted on

In this very special episode: Because God has it out for Merrill (or at least that was his theory last week) and Hurricane Irene caused a delay in production scheduling, the Idiots decide to do a new show this week as well. Welcome to Idiot Boxers 3.0, or as we like to call it: Idiot Boxers Season Three. They restructure the show to streamline the reviews and have more chit chat (which is code for “Kevin berating Merrill”). They pay their respect to the victims of 9/11, then they celebrate Kevin’s 40th birthday. As the summer series all wrap up, the Idiots prep for a new season of television. Then Kevin breaks Merrill’s heart by declaring his love of Community.

Oh, and the Idiots also take some time to talk about what rocked and what sucked on television these past two weeks. Then more shenanigans with child molestation on Diff’rent Strokes, DVD recap and an Idiot Recommendation.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 14

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers continue their streak of irritating each other. Merrill desperately attempts to be professional, but Kevin’s plans to derail the show prevail. Yet they manage to get through all their TV watching with minimal talk of Flashpoint and a healthy dose of TV news in which Kevin gets in touch with his feminine side. Kevin also manages to rip on Michael Bay while Merrill tries to educate the listeners to the finer points of product placement.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 12

Posted on

In this very special episode: There have been major changes to The Idiot Boxers podcast. The review segments have been shifted around, focusing more on what the Idiots thought rocked and what they thought sucked. This (and an alleged kidnapping of Merrill and Kevin) led to a summer hiatus for the past month, but the Idiots are back on the couch, ready to talk TV. And yes, surprise surprise, Merrill is going to talk about Flashpoint this week. They also cover such diverse subjects as college evangelists, masturbation, Asian subtitles and what Kevin wants to do to Piper Perabo’s caboose.

In this very special episode: Belive it or not, Kevin and Merrill are still doing the show. Whoever thought they could feel so free? Flying away on a wing and a prayer, who could it be?… Kevin pays homage to teh greatest TV theme song ever while Merrill launches hatred for anything 70s and 80s. But first, the Idiots talk about the latest episode of television, what time slot is most likely to kill a series and hate on the big screen adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. And Merrill declares that he will watch an entire season of Grey’s Anatomy. What a trooper.
