One Good Thing

Merry Christmas from the Paulboyz at OGT: this week we find the one festive thing about Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas and in turn find that Christmas is indeed saved for us. No doubt about it, guys. This does exactly what it says on the tin. Featuring everything you've ever wanted in Santa's steely gaze. See you in the new year!

Now they've recorded 50+2 episodes, the Paulboyz turn their critical rays on themselves, along with the brain-baby that is their podcast 'The One Good Thing About Podcast'. Ever listened to them crap on about Christopher Nolan for the tenth consecutive episode and wondered 'But why did you bother recording this?''How can you even stand each other?' or 'What did you have for lunch today?" ? Well, t...

The Paulz are in tumult: HMRC are chasing them up and down the country for blockading the entrance to their headquarters and the strapping young podcastmen just don’t ruddy care! They’ve made a fort out of sleeping bags and Domino’s boxes and have resolved to watch all 127 minutes of George Lucas’s Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace right there in the doorway, their naked feet and arses expos...

We finally did it. The oft-threatened. The rightly feared. We invited our twin sister over for bank holiday Monday! Ugh, nightmare. Long story short, she took off her pantyhose, stuffed a weasel up there and puked up a big racist drawing of England's growing Polish population, but because she looks an awful lot like us it's funny and romantic, not grossly offensive. The secret is she's just lazy,...

Give the Paulboyz a second: they’re processing an awful lot right now and can’t stand to be [incoherent mumbling] passive observers anymore! Some strange shit’s going down, man, people are losing their minds over this and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Never mind that: the Pauls have found a patch of land in idyllic Killadelphia not dominated by murderous trees and are going to wat...

Hey flyboys: we heard there’s a war on! Last thing me and the boys heard there’s a hulking mass in the sky, come from afar, promising doom and destruction from above – and all we can do is wait. That’s right, I was really talking about Pearl Harbour (2001) but flipped it at the very end there! Did you see? Anyway, me and the boys are gonna go smooch some dames and get something hypodermic jabbed i...

Matthew Gray (@clockworkwriter) has a quest: some people think it’s a noble quest, most people would rather eat their own sick than hear another word of it, but he doesn’t care. He’s come this far, lost so many friends, but by God he’s going to get someone to watch Sex Lives of the Potato Men and commit it to posterity by talking about it in front of microphones. If it has to be the One Good Thing...

Oh jolly wolly bolly boo boo, gather ’round all ye of noble birth and utter unentitlement: It’s Tuesday and you know what that means: time to congratulate ourselves for not being foreign, poor or sentimental in any way shape or form, but British, by God! Crack open the good brandy, chisel out the most aged cheese and slip your five moisturised digits right inside your fly there… yes… good to be pr...

Good moaning maladies and dementedmen, we hope you like s-s-s-scaaary films, because we decided to look at two of them today. That's right: we're doing a one spooky thing about Halloween: the franchise! Not the remakes though. Basically one Paul likes horror films and has decided to make every Halloween a truly terrifying experience by forcing the other Paul to watch everything even remotely relat...

Thanks to TV In Space (@TVinspace) the Pauls are pushed kicking screaming into the acid vats they have down at DC nowadays and emerge moments later with some unconvincing makeup and an inexplicable desire to sink their teeth into Batman. Unfortunately Bruce Wayne isn't taking visitors so they went online and rented a copy of Batman and Robin, tucked into a family bucket of Häagen-Dazs and bitched...

Insert teen catchphrase here! Recommendation month rolls around again and this time we kick off with BRATZ™ – and from one cynical cashgrab to another I can tell you it’s a real doozy. So let’s get our money right, our attitude up to ten because we don’t have one of those special Spinal Tap amps, and throw your reactionary right-wing three-act structures out the bloody window, because by God we’ve...

Several weeks ago one Paul saw Valerian and liked it. Then he told the other Paul to go see it and this Paul liked it so much that he thought about defending it, kind of. This is that. Episode 40 is all the things we like about Valerian! Featuring: Luc and the man of a thousand Bessons, Dane and the husband of a thousand perfects, Cara and the face of a thousand brows, Gerard and the meal of a tho...

This week the Pauls disobey a direct order and go blam on the hyperdrive. Long story short is that they ended up lost in a very specific space where loopy sci-fi concepts were buttoned down with double denim and chased with an ice cold Pepsi just in time for Take That to come and shake their frosted tips to a Balearic dance beat. That's right: the Pauls are lost in the nineties and everyone just t...

The Pauls take a vacation to podcastland and find much to their horror that they have to do a podcast there. Even though it was definitely the last thing they wanted to happen, they had just seen A Good Day to Die Hard, had made some highly detailed notes and were to all extents and purposes prepared for such an eventuality. But they are on vacation. In podcastland. What's the one good thing about...

It's positivity day! Thanks to a whole swathe of you sending in your top ten favourite movies of all time the Pauls have an excuse to talk about their own favourite films in hilarious and enthralling detail. Hooray! We also compiled the ultimate top ten from everyone's submissions – so stick around to find out which Men in Black film tops the list. Featuring: Grown Ups, Resident Evil 13, White Chi...

Cinema Bushido (@Cinemabushido) hurl this frozen disc of cow poo Paul-ward and the Pauls leapt like dogs to catch it in their teeth. Having dodged the remakes and the Giglis and and the Shyamalans of this recommendations month, have they finally met their match in the universally-hated 0% sensation that is Highlander II: The Quickening? Well, don't just stand there: grab hold of the poo-disc and c...

Thanks goes to Beyond The Box Set (@Beyondtheboxset) podcast this week for recommending the critic-proof Lady In The Water. Luckily at least one of us is totally underqualified for the job. We might have been asked to find one good thing about this piece of work but we'll go one better. We'll probably have two. Unless a dreaded case of the scrunts sets in. Featuring: NARF, the wims, the wams, the...

We hark the return of Avoid Being Hated (@avoidbeinghated) who grace us with something really special. That's right: they done recommended us another movie! Looks like they lost their copy of Home Alone 3 though. So... let's get into Gigli before it starts sucking in planets. Good things! Featuring: man's desperate quest for nuggets, lickin' midriffs, penis vs vagina: ultimate showdown, Detective...

It's surf season here at OGT apparently - only instead of a poor approximation of a sad Keanu Reeves we have three hot young Australian boys muscling their way onto our podcast to talk the one good thing about Surf Ninjas in a discussion that was originally forty minutes longer than the film's runtime. Classic Straya. Welcome Sean, Phil and James of Baby Beard! Featuring: Schindler’s Ninjas, the h...

Cowabunga all you radical dudes: this week the Pauls get academic in their quest for enlightenment! At the recommendation of Paul's girlfriend Nell they give the Point Break reimagining a go and invite you along for the riiiiiide. But stop smiling and saying surf words – it's not about having fun. It's more serious than ever. And the Pauls couldn't be more thrilled. Let's find a good thing! Featur...

This week the Pauls dust off their defending cowls and leap fist-first down the throat of Zak Snyder's rather memorable Watchmen! They've read the book and they remember there was a lot of it – lots of blood, lots of superpower and even more lots of incongruously apt tunes that made this comic a real made-for-cinema thriller/comedy/romance. Probably. It was probably that. Anyway, the Pauls liked t...

This week the Pauls hold hands in a well-lit room and face the horror of another in a long line of worst films of all time and – well, you know the rest. Prepare for disappointment. Featuring: a pair of regular Rory Bremners, some right t’orphans, handsome Jeremy Corbyn, the hierarchy of Rob and seven seconds of whatever you want, baby.

JAACAAAAAAAAB! Get those earphones in and get yourselves medieval – except for the earphones – because this week the Pauls lurch out of their opium hazes just long enough to lead an unlikely burden across an unbearable distance. That's right, we're in all kinds of east with Nick Powell's Chinese movie Outcast! Featuring: shifting the Damon, the various ages of Boyden Manstensen, Benedict Wong?, a...

The Pauls aren't gonna kill you – they're just gonna bash your brains in. They're gonna bash them right the f– oh, hang on... *checks* SHIT! Turns out by all of that they mean they're going to put their own souls through the mangle of misery, going above and beyond the call of duty once again as they witness not only Suicide Squad, but the extended cut of the aforementioned trash fire. Maybe it'll...
