The Worst Idea Of All Time — Comedy
The Worst Idea Of All Time

An award-winning smash hit series hosted by kiwi comedians Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt. The pair have been punishing themselves with movies for your enjoyment since Feb 2014, starting by watching and reviewing Grown Ups 2 once a week, every week, for a full year. They applied the same treatment to Sex and The City 2, Sex and The City, We Are You Friends, the Emmanuelle franchise of softcore adult films and now are taking on The Fast and Furious franchise in reverse order.

Hobbs and Shaw: The Melbourne Live Episode Jan 23, 2024

Show notes

What was Jesus up to on Easter? Is Hobbs and Shaw canon? Exactly how big is The Rock’s dick? Tim and Guy may not be able to agree on the answers to these eternal questions, but both can agree that the Fast-and-Furious affiliated Hobbs and Shaw is a pretty solid flick. This Melbourne live show, originally taped while deep in the trenches of Fast 8, finds the boyz pleasantly surprised by the film at hand. Tim further explores his complicated relationship with The Rock while trying not to fall afoul of the powers that be. Guy takes issue with the way the film’s tone has changed since Fast 8 before posing a shocking theory about the Idris Elba cinematic universe.

On Feb 10th, exactly a decade after Tim and Guy's first viewing of Grown-Ups 2, the boyz return to Adam Sandler's 2013 opus for a night of reflection, revelry and regret at the Q Theatre in Auckland.

45: Four Large Decaffeinated Iced Cappuccinos Jan 12, 2024

Show notes

The end of a season. The end of an era. The first and only watch of The Fast and The Furious somehow marks the end of a year of watching the Fast and Furious franchise for Tim and Guy. In an episode recorded in front of a packed-out audience at the beautiful Hollywood cinema in the Avondale neighborhood of Auckland, the pair celebrate the origins of brand Toretto and the strangely absent origins of Leo and Santos. We discover that Mia is actually really good in this one and that if there’s one thing cops enjoy more than hanging out in Elizabeth Taylor’s house, it’s drinking large decaffeinated iced cappuccinos. In a send-off befitting of The Worst Idea, the audio quality is questionable, the takes are borderline and the content is not for everyone. But nonetheless, as we close out this chapter of TWIOAT and look forward to the next quarter mile of the podcast, we must kiss Vin Diesel on his big, shiny head, goodbye.

Family Time 8 Jan 08, 2024

Show notes

It's been a while and the boys are brimming with news; Tim is going to be a dad, again! Guy is engaged to be married! It is amazing what you learn when you catch up with Family™. A report from CNN pours further gasoline on the Rock's intentions to run for President, emails, tweets and Instagram messages are checked, but the real pièce de résistance is a Masters Degree graduate who travelled to the Wynn Casino in Las Vegas to write their final piece on the interpretation of Fine Art through Paul Blart Mall Cop 2.

44: The Man I Met 10 Years Ago Jan 05, 2024

Show notes

The beginning of the end is upon us—as the lads reflect on what ten years of repeated exposure to a limited pool of movies has done to their ability to review cinema specifically, and their brains more generally. Also, after a second screening it appears that 2 Fast 2 Furious might not quite be the apex of cinema Tim had previously thought. Paul Walker is called out for a weaker acting performance, while Guy maintains he does a fantastic job of hosting the film (whatever that means). Tim is having a love affair with the raw charisma of Tyrese Gibson, Guy is over the moon that old men are allowed to play henchmen and both discuss the magic of forgotten cartoon Freakazoid.

43: Hot Rat Bucket w/ Travis and Griffin McElroy Dec 29, 2023

Show notes

Tim and Guy are joined by Travis and Griffin McElroy to enjoy their first(ish) watch of 2 Fast 2 Furious. There is a heavy divide in the ranks as to whether the movie was actually good or not, but the film’s quality quickly takes a conversational backseat to the real star of the watch: a very unique torture idea that all can agree is well worth discussing. In this outing, we have no Dom Toretto, but the stars are still out to shine, including Eva Mendez, the introduction of Roman Pearce (Tyrese) and possibly Tej (unsure, the boiz haven’t seen the first movie). Paul Walker’s beautiful eyes overpower any lack of acting chops and ejection seats are cool.

42: Counting in Quarter Miles Dec 22, 2023

Show notes

The way you have been thinking about time and space is limited and wrong. Reject Metric and Imperial and instead adopt the Fast and Furious System, where everything is measured in terms of quarter-miles. And if you’re having trouble figuring out the timeline of the Fast franchise, simply apply Justin Lin’s patented Ca-Lin-Duh system. Getting into the finer details of Tokyo Drift for their final watch of the Han-led outing, the boys also wonder whether Sean is so fearless because of a devil-may-care, cowboy attitude or if he quite simply does not understand what is happening around him.
