WorkJuice Presents: The Worst Scripted Event of All Time

Ben Acker and Ben Blacker, creators of the Thrilling Adventure Hour, teamed up with Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery, the creators/hosts of The Worst Idea of All Time podcast, in which the New Zealand-based comedians watched Grown Ups 2 every week for one year, to bring this one-of-a-kind live show to Los Angeles.

After watching Grown Ups 2 for 50 weeks, Tim and Guy wrote their own version of the movie, with their own brain-addled commentary.

Acker & Blacker produced this live read of that script starring The Thrilling Adventure Hour's WorkJuice Players Busy Philipps (Vice Principals) and Hal Lublin (We Got This), and TAH friends Kate Micucci (Garfunkel & Oates), Baron Vaughn (Grace & Frankie), Arden Myrin (MadTV), Mark McConville (Superego), Michael McMillian (True Blood), Jason Ritter (Parenthood), Humphrey Ker (Dymock Watson: Nazi Smasher), and Melanie Lynskey (Togetherness).

Jordan Katz and the Elements of Style, featuring Eric Kufs, perform the opening and closing music.

Original Description:

Guy and Tim have finally made it. It's the last viewing of Grown Ups 2, exactly one year after they started. Recorded live in front of a soldout CineFamily crowd on Sunset in Los Angeles, California. After a public viewing of the movie the lads have finally seen the backend of the movie. What ensues is an elated, nonsensical final romp through a film that's been a part of the boys' life for a long time. It's time to say goodbye.

Original Description:

Guy and Tim have taken their camper (thanks Jucy Rentals!) to Joshua National Park, California. It's late, it's isolated and the boys are getting a little freaky. In this episode, the movie appears to have taken a backseat to delightful stories ranging from childhood bike injuries to a very recent adult pant-crapping incident.

We find out what happened to Patty's grandparents and hear some positive words about Braden's acting ability. We're having a WONDEFUL time.

Original Description:

Against the odds, Guy and Tim have made it to LA. They've eaten some Blaze Pizza and now it's time to tick some other bucket list items off the list; Namely, watching Grown Ups 2 in a Kmart. That's right, the lads have watched the entire film inside of a Kmart and recorded an episode in the terrible, dirty walls of the quintessential department store of yesteryear.

Guy's approaching unattended kids, Tim's distracted by all the fantastic colours and products on offer. It's almost the end of the nightmare so get in while the getting's good.

Original Description:

ATTN: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BIRDMAN YET

Fresh from the table read of the script Guy and Tim wrote from memory being performed in front of 150 people in their hometown of Auckland, the lads immedately went home and chucked on the movie for the fourth to last time ever.

It's 2am. It's an emotional podcast this week, Montgomery is mainly waking up for most of it and what is exposed is a raw, unguarded side of a man who is so near the finishline he can almost taste it. Voices are croacky, spirits are mixed and Guy and Tim are just trying to live every moment.

Original Description:

Just what comes of two men when you sit them in front of Grown Ups 2 for the forth dozen time inside a year? Apparently, it's sour relationships, lots of singing, lots more swearing, rumination about their self-imposed prison and chats about the mighty Haast Eagle.

If you weren't worried about Guy and Tim before this episode, you swear as hell will be now.

Original Description:

Guy and Tim are joined by their friends and NZ comedy people Dai Henwood and Josh Thompson for an extended guest episode. In the Grown Ups 2 arena this week, the boys hit some familiar terrain such as Kmart, product placement, racial stereotypes and a perceived lack of plot. Plus some curveballs get thrown, including why does Principal Tardio makes no moves to avoid getting paint dropped on him and quick drying deer piss.

Original Description:

Guy and Tim are on the road again, the road to watching Grown Ups 2. With just 5 epsiodes to go - the boys' mental sanity appears to be at an all time low. The boys momentarily become German tourists, Tim reminds everyone that Stone Cold is in the movie and there's a serious questions asked of the co-hosts' parents. Plus a confusing toilet paper themed shining light and a beaut of a Steve Buscemi Mystery Tour. And you know what else? You do not mop tar seal.

Original Description:

Guy and Tim are back and they're suprisingly upbeat! Far from the nightmare depression the pair experienced in the last episode, both lads are back in action and armed with notes aplenty! This week, G and T continue to guess at what happened in the first Grown Ups, the Braden Warlock Theory makes a reappearence and we all find out how to spell our favourite brand in the film!

Monty's impressed with the soundscape, Tim is taken with David Spade's dramatic chops and Patty's got jaguars! #BlazePizza

Original Description:

It's the first day of 2015 and in New Zealand, a wonderful summer day has gripped the whole country. But Guy and Tim aren't at the beach! Or even a park! They're indoors, watching the movie again and BOY is Tim unhappy about it (again). One of the lowest ebbs in the project so far.

Guy stages an intervention to deal with Tim's drinking (which he does to deal with the movie), a book club of sorts breaks out midway through and you'll be treated to two kiwi men struggling through the 44th watch of a movie while hung over. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
