OSNAP: Sandy, That Bitch!
This week on OSNAP, Kevin and Merrill are ducking and weaving from Mother Nature, avoiding the impact of the Frankenstorm known as Sandy. (Seriously, a deadly Frankenstorm with such a pretty little name?) They record their first annual Halloween episode early, and pretty much talk about the weather. They also talk about how Merrill’s dog is able to outsmart every member of his family. Kevin ties the conversation to South Park twice, bemoaning the current netherworld between physical media and streaming awesomeness. He also makes a shocking comment about Christina Hendricks’ boobs. Merrill tells another bullying story from his youth, and Kevin uncovers yet another sign of the apocalypse via RottenTomatoes.com. Oh, snap!

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.

In this very special episode: As the TV seasons wind down for the year and the Idiots prepare for the summer seasons, it’s a slow time in the Magical Studio in the Sky. So in this spring slump, discussion turns to iPhone apps like “Draw Something” and other irrelevant topics. Still, the Idiots manage to squeak out a little TV news and reviews, and again they burn more time talking about Kevin Smith and the like. With both yawning and exhausted from all the TV they’re not watching, the Idiots wrap things up with a light segment with DVDs and a Recommendation for more 80s TV goodness.

In this very special episode: The Idiots recover from April Fools by not winning the lottery and continuing to watch the small amount of interesting television that is still out there. They take an opportunity to answer a listener email then move along to television news. After some reviewing of shows, they each give out some recommendations and sound-offs. Oh, and there’s a bit of an autotuning going on, which will make the show all that more awesome.

In this very special episode: Even though there has been plenty happening in on television, the Idiots slow down a bit and realize there hasn’t been a ton of interesting things happening, aside from Merrill catching the superflu and fighting back coughing fits sparked by Kevin’s awesomeness. That doesn’t stop them from ranting about crazy teens and the Project X effect, St. Patty’s Day and oral sex. They also go through a nice slice of television news before moving on to actual reviews of shows. Then it’s a Sound-Off frenzy as they throw down three topics before offering some DVD options and recommendations.

On This Episode: Because the last episode was such a runaway hit with fans and haters of Chronicle, Kevin decided to reunite with Steve “Gabe” Reeves in the Magical Studio in the Sky to sound off about the overuse of the found footage genre. They know it basically prints money for the studios, but Kevin and Steve are tired of the entire found footage nonsense. So, they list the five main reasons why the entire genre should be lost again.

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: Even though the early weeks of summer have left the Idiots with fewer options to watch, they have plenty to talk about in this episode. After some early shenanigans which include Amanda Seyfreid’s breasts and Merrill’s escort ads on Craigslist, the Idiots get down with their reviews of the current shows, including a look at the new TNT drama Falling Skies. Of course, things soon deteriorate in the episode as Kevin tells Walt Flanigan and a pot-smoking, chubby filmmaker what they can do with themselves. Later, Merrill actually complains about Flashpoint, and Kevin takes aim at fraudulant criminals in Extreme Couponing.

In this very special episode: With most of the season finales out of the way, the Idiots get ready for a short show… until they find FozzieBare squatting in the Magical Studio in the Sky. The more the merrier in Idiotville, so they invite Fozzie to join the show. Apparently the Rapture happens in the middle of the show because Fozzie disappears. But that doesn’t stop the Idiots from talking about what rocked, what sucked, TV news and how pornography can affect a podcast.

In this very special episode: Well, the Idiots were not taken in the Rapture, so they’re still here watching television. And it’s a good thing too because this was when many of the finales happened and all the renewal/cancellation news hit. So the Idiots talk about what they thought rocked and what they thought sucked, then move on to TV news. There’s also a special guest in the final segment before the Idiots break out some sound-offs and DVD recommendations. But don’t worry… there’s plenty of other goodies in this show, including an iTunes review all the way across the pond from the UK, some discussion about body function and why Merrill just needs a hug.
