The Worst Idea Of All Time

It's the middle of the night in New Zealand and Tim has to keep his voice down for fear of waking his flatmate, because Tim is one of two men who has to watch Grown Ups 2 again. The other is one Guy Montgomery, an intrepid ex-pat kiwi who's currently in Copenhagen.This week, flauting of rules results in Tim looking up the Internet Movie Database while the film is playing, to hilarious results. Guy's travels through Europe continue and Denmark sounds fabulous. The movie, on the other hand, still does not. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The boys are back. Monty in Berlin, Timbo in his new abode. The stakes have never been higher. The boys are on the cusp of world records here (probably). And who just bought a projector to watch the movie for the next 30 times? Well, that would be telling. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy continues his march through Europe. Tim is moving house. Nobody is happy. But the boys have been brought together by that gem of a comedy flick Grown Ups 2 one more time (and will again 31 more times). On the agenda today: eye styes, Beethoven symphonies and the huge fight scene from Adam Sandler's indisputable worst film. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Plauged by technical errors and conflicting time schedules the boys finally found time to watch the movie simultaneously on Skype with each other and record the podcast. Guy is coming to us live from London town on a beautiful crisp British Friday morning. Tim is depressing using his Friday night to watch Adam Sandlers paycheck sequel one more gosh darn time. Nobody is particularly happy but then, that's not the point. Is it? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's the last episode before Guy goes to Europe and the mood is low. Guy and Tim have watched the film at night in bed together after a couple drinks. Observations this week range from Guy's flatmate Max needing to clean a pan to Guy's flatmate Max being a snappy dresser. Also, a fun activity ensues where the boys try to identify what each movie would be like if is focused on one of the other lead characters instead of Lenny Fader. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim are back with beers, pizza and a new lease on the movie they're putting themselves through watching 52 times. After four weeks, the lads have resorted to counting up every line of various characters and replacing the movie's soundtrack with music of their own choosing. A discussion on Apple, IBM, mushrooms, LSD, friendship, Europe and some of the film's deleted scenes are awaiting you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this edition of the podcast, Guy and Tim do a little role-play. Guns are discussed. The delicate subject of necrophilia is apporached and the question is finially asked: How many times do you need your characters to talk about a critical plot point to set up your ending? It's three. The answer is three times. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Winter, it's Queens Birthday Weekend. The stage is set. A roaring fire. A glass of red. An apple crumble (made from scratch by Tim). The lads have set in to discuss Grown Ups 2, a recent near death experience of Guy's, the radioactivity of bananas and Tim's brand new knife. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim have watched Grown Ups 2 again. They drunk- beers. They've eaten Shewsburys. They've been thinking about the film and lots about things that aren't the film. During this epsiode, they're eating Fruit Bursts and discussing the theme song from St Elmo's Fire. Great stuff. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim are back at it again and there's no guest to hide behind, no special format to break up the monotony, just a straight, back-to-basics watch of the movie. The vibe is a little grim however Guy endevours to invent new ways to absorb the movie to increase enjoyment and the gents ponder a few future episode ideas. A discussion of A-class drugs, the nature of intellectual orientation and The Simpsons features. As per usual, Sandler is a terrible man, Becky is great and don't watch the movie. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim are struggling to hold on so they've brought another special guest into the fold: This week, British Comedian, multiple world record holder and Commodore of the Royal Navy, Tim FitzHigham. Also, as part of the NZ International Comedy Festival, the boys have recorded the epsiode live in front of an audience in downtown Auckland at New Zealand's only full-time comedy club, The Classic.

DOUBLE DIGITS BITCHES! They said it couldn't be done, but guess what? Guy and Tim have now watched Grown Ups 2 once a week for ten weeks in a row.

It was the worst of times, it was the worst of times. The boys are at their wits' end and the light at the end of the tunnel is still an incredibly long way off. Tim and Guy attempt to temper their depression by visiting the reviews from actual film reviewers and struggle to come up with a Shining Light moment this week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Fresh from a weekend of film making in the 48Hour film competition, Guy has convinced Tim to do the podcast sleep deprived and with a room full of friends on a Sunday night. They don't join us for the podcast, but their spirit certainly comes through this episode. With a renewed vigour and thirst for adventure, the lads' morale has never been higher. Tackled this week - a new theory: Adam Sandler only wrote half of a movie... Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tim and Guy are back and more miserable than ever. Having watched another 101 minutes of the god awful Grown Ups 2, the lads have also instituted a new 'no phone' rule during the movie. This has had dire consequences on morale. This week, Guy's dark reading of the ice cream scene, a new theory from Tim and the studio is falling to bits around the two of them. Join in!

It's the final Neil Breen pitcture to be reviewed by the boiz but the first feature made by the Machine himself. This movie, as per usual, challenges the very notion of motion picture production. Breen places himself, and his floating balls in a pool, in a heroic role where he definitely has no interest in underage women. Strap in. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We got some good cogs in the 'zone in this addition and we got a birthday boi coming up on a big number. The Flash is off to Toronoto for the Justin F*cking Lounges Festival (JFL) and it's gonna be hot. Most importantly however, we hear from our pals.

The boiz have dipped back into the Sandler well to sip from a cup that was oft wished for by Worst Idea fans. Roundly considered the worst Adam Sandler film ever made, and according to some - in contention for the worst film ever produced, Jack and Jill sees Adam Sandler play himself and his twin sister. Because what every Adam Sandler movie needs, is twice the Adam Sandler. Spoiler: This film isn't great. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's a small world after all, especially when Timbo and Guyguy are singing over the telephone to each other.

Your boiz have a Patreon and on that Patreon, some contibutors decide a different movie for Timbly and Guybo to watch.

Also, one banging hot pitch to executives, periodically interrupted by two dumb boiz. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
