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: It’s a time of rejoicing and a time to be carefree. The Idiot Boxers get their first review on iTunes, and Merrill lofts his challenge to Fat Guys at the Movies co-host Neil Miller for a Michael Bay challenge. Without any thought of time constraints, the Idiots ramble on for damn near two hours in this show, but it’s worth it. We get to see Merrill completely lose it in the middle after Kevin suggests some awkward positions. Oh, and they also talk about current television, give some Idiot Recommendations and talk about everything from Jon Stewart’s politics to crappy daytime judge shows. Listen to this one, folks. You’ll be happy that you did, or your money back!

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers get set for the summer season, wrapping up a couple spring finales and looking ahead to the June premieres. Kevin exposes the debauchery of Merrill’s Formspring.me account while Merrill learns a valuable lesson about UV radiation. They look at some of the big TV news before Merrill gets too intimate with the cast of Flashpoint. Out of utter embarrassment, Kevin insists they move on to the Sound Off segment to talk about the evolution of summer and how Comedy Central is being a giant douche before laying down some TV-on-DVD picks and handing out some Idiot Recommendations.

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers are ramping up for May sweeps with anticipation of finales in 24 and Lost. They also invite a special guest into the Magical Studio in the Sky – the Prophet Muhammed, who wears a bear costume but doesn’t speak for fear of retribution. This leads Kevin and Merrill to talk about some more controversial topics, including the most recent South Park episodes, Conan’s move to TBS and an Idiot Boxer rage-out at Ugly Betty… and one final topic so controversial that the network demanded censorship!

This leads into an Idiot Sound-Off about TV-to-movie adaptations. And Merrill continues to not comprehend the lengthy run of Doctor Who.
