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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 55

Posted on

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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 53

Posted on

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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 52

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots have only a few stories from the past two weeks to talk about, but they fill up the opening segment with a hate-filled Facebook post accusing them of insensitivity to Whitney Houston. Then they answer a more relevant question about J.J. Abrams from a listener. But this doesn’t happen without lots of penis jokes, of course. As they move on to talk about TV news and reviews, things simmer down a bit. Finally, they close out with Kevin’s rant about the obsolescence of broadcast news and Merrill laying down some love for Tom Selleck’s ‘stache.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 51

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiot Boxers are back for a fun-filled episode of cynicism, swearing and really offensive rants about celebrity worship and the death of Whitney Houston (and they apologize in advance for what is said in the show). They also talk about the latest TV news and get down with some reviews, including a scathing analysis of Kevin Smith’s Comic Book Men. But since Merrill had such a great week, there’s few things Kevin can say to bring him down. Poor kid. Later, they sound-off about Netflix viewership, then offer some DVD suggestions and Idiot Recommendation. It’s been a long couple weeks between episodes, but the Idiots make sure to not disappoint with their unique analysis of the idiocy happening in the world of entertainment. As Whitney Cummings circa 1998 would say, it’s their jam!

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 49

Posted on

In this very special episode: The Idiots ignore the trending topics about the #NFL and #DowntonAbbey to continue their pursuit of all things television – from godawful shows like Work It, Whitney and Are You There, Chelsea? to fantastic shows like Shameless and New Girl. Merrill starts the show off strong by talking about what he likes to do when he’s alone (hint, hint, it’s not watching television), and later Kevin spends most of his time tracking down nekked photos of Emmy Rossum. The Idiots also go through some television news and rip through some DVD recommendations. Kevin also unloads on Joe Paterno… twice.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 41

Posted on

In this very special episode: It’s premiere week, so the Idiots were busy watching hours and hours of television. It’s a tough life, but someone has to do it. But before they give the rundown on the new and returning shows, they talk about Facebook, Netflix Twi-hards, Nikki Finke and a burned dog butt. Then they move on to television news before giving feedback on the good (like New Girl), the bad (like Whitney) and the ugly (like Charlie’s Angels). Then they move on to the Sound Offs, DVD suggestions and the Idiot Recommendations before sailing off into the sunset. And a big thanks to Coby Bell from Burn Notice for giving us a lead-in this week.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 32

Posted on

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.

The Idiot Boxers – Episode 30

Posted on

In this very special episode: Because the Idiots are welcoming of all faiths, the Idiot Easter recording begins with Kevin asking some major theological questions. Yet somehow, the episode derails into discussions about shower sex. Still, the Idiots manage to talk about what they thought rocked and sucked in the past two weeks, with Kevin bringing out some claws for a handful to shows and Merrill sounding like the nice guy. After some TV news and a somber nod to Elisabeth Sladen, the Idiots move on to some sound offs, DVD picks and Idiot Recommendations.
