The Worst Idea Of All Time

Tim is distracted by a blackbird, Guy's had enough. But picking up the ball and running for the try line, the lads bring back the chat. Critical analysis of Adam Sandler's latest masterpiece this week extends to a dissection of the child actors' careers on Grown Ups 2, a review of the gym that features in the movie AND one pro gender equality move on the film makers behalf. But the real question i...

Guy and Tim have watched the movie 40 times now and this time, they've recorded an audio commentary. This isn't that audio, it's the episode they decided to record AFTER the commentary. Was it a good idea to do an episode after the commentary? You be the judge. The lads try to nut out how to get to LA, Tim needs caffeine, Adam Sandler has some comfy footwear and if you want some Paddy - you WON'T...

Guy and Tim are joined by beloved kiwi journalist David Farrier. This week: Tim has to buy a $250 T-shirt; enthusiastic letters from fans, some Insane Clown Posse, rampant capitalism and more Paddy Shwartz! Also, physics, CGI animals, #instagramchat, more defence of David Spade and what's the deal with cross-dissolves? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy's back and more awake than ever. He didn't go to sleep for the whole movie this time! And he's bringing the Paddy Shwartz noise! Facts on where Paddy works out, where Paddy eats and more! Plus the age old question: Would you eat a placenta? The boys also fondly remember Sandler's hit comedy song 'Piece of Shit Car' and a bygone era of Napster and Limewire. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/p...

This epsiode the podcast has taken a turn. The boys decided to record during the last half hour of the film, while they watch the remainder of the party scene play out. Plus Guy has decided to fall asleep during the first hour of the film. Luckily, a plucky Tim is attempting to pull the pair back from the edge of dispair in spite of not just a tired co-host but also people on the internet try...

Oh no, Guy is very upset. First at the prospect of seeing Grown Ups 2 36 times since the start of the year, then because Tim is trying to shoehorn dental jokes into the podcast. But it's ok, because there's a lot of questions in this episodes. Questions like, 'How large a town could the frat boys realistically overthrow?' and 'Do Americans really talk like on the phone to each other?' and 'Do...

Penny Farthings, got em. Hypothetical yet lengthy discussion about a deer dying in the front yard of the main character? Yup. Appreciation for Stone Cold Steve Austin's pronunciation of 'sack of potatoes'? Almost present. Plus, Guy's musings on the pom and ceremony associated with modern professional sports and Peter Dante sings the hits! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information...

In all their excitement, the lads forgot to do this guest segment with Dominic Corry. So here it is. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim are joined by New Zealand's greatest film reviewer and connoisseur of terrible comedies, Dominic Corry. In an authoratitive and wide-ranging conversation the three lads cover the Netflix/Sandler deal, the strangeness of Adam Sandler's mind and what it's capable of creating and Rob! Schneider. Plus a new big scam involving the movie (kinda). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for mo...

Tim Lambourne, New Zealand television and radio personality joins Guy and Tim for a lovely wee watch of the pearl of a film, Grown Ups 2. Lambo shares his stories of American frat boys, Guy notices an amazing post-production edit to mask a big muck up and Tim delves into the potential use of a little person used as a stand in for one of Sandler's kids. Most importantly, the boys delve into the rec...

It's 1:30 in the morning, do you know where your children are? Guy Montgomery is asleep on the couch at Tim Batt's flat. Tim is watching Grown Ups 2 again, trying not to cry. What ensues is a discussion about life and death, 1970s soul singers, paintings of tigers, the possibility of being an All Black and Grown Ups 2. All your favourite bits are here, The Shining Light; The Steve Buscem...

Guy and Tim engage in an adventerous and barely conprehensible watch of the film. Welcome and apologies to all the new listners. There is a Clint Eastwood impression to look forward to. Not a lot else. This episode is recommended for seasoned Worst Idea listeners only. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Guy and Tim have descended from the giddy heights of last week's episode to analyze the film in brutal detail. There's singing, there's a new segment and there's questions about what may have happened in Grown Ups 1! Also look forward to the boys attempting Arnie voices as part of the Paddy Swartz, Party Time segment. So much going on, hurry up and listen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy fo...

In this episode of the podcast, bare audio witness to the complete breaking down of Guy and Tim's mental function. This is the first epsiode of the podcast which had its hosts asking whether or not they should release it after it was recorded. Guy and Tim have decided they should release it as it would be against the spirit of the project to without an episode. So enjoy it, with our sleepy co-host...

Guy has triumphiantly returned from Europe and guess what? He hasn't slept. Not barely a wink. But he's joined by a pretty positive Tim Batt and together they've ripped up another watch of this fine piece of cinema we call Grown Ups 2. Topics covered in this ep include (but are not limited to): Paddy Schwartz Party Time, the pace of Hollywood, love interests AND the acceptable length of an in...

The second podcast recorded in one night, Tim's 27th birthday but this time AFTER watching the movie. And boy has it put the aforementioned podcast co-host in a shitty mood. While Tim is feeling sorry for himself and doing some soul searching about what it means to spend the last hours of his birthday alone in his room watching Grown Ups 2 for the 27th time, Guy is just too darn exciting by t...

We're back and catching up. Due to internet issues (discussed on the podcast) Guy and Tim have recorded this ep a week after our last watch. In this ep, Guy and Tim discuss the nature of Scotland's nationhood, the availability of K-Marts and how to tell the difference between a continuity error and clever character writing. Also, Guy gets his genitals out in public, Tim is celebrating his 27th bir...

Rose Matafeo joins Guy and a whisper quiet Tim on the 25th watch of Grown Ups 2, throwing some much needed positive perspective on the project. That positivity though, stops well short of any kind of praise for the film. On the contrary, Rose is so disappointed by former comedy juggernauts and what they've been reduced to by participating in the hot mess that is Grown Ups 2. Hosted on Acast. See a...

The lads have now clocked up two dozen watches of the film and the mood is high. Tim is punchy after several beers on a Friday night (NZ local time) watch and Guy is still enjoying his holiday abroad but being crushingly brought back down to earth by having to spend 101 minutes on Grown Ups 2 again. Conversation ranges from the movie, to politics, to civic rights icon Rosa Parks to nature of comed...

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. Gu...

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,...

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...

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....
