The Worst Idea Of All Time

944

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.

    Existential art at its best
    The merit of this show is how it mirrors the agony of the passage of time.
  • DWeggs
    I have a power now for recognizing Grown Ups 2
    Within a couple of days of finishing their review (which I did in a matter of a couple/few weeks) on a walk I saw someone in their garage home theater watching none other than Grown Ups 2. I’ve never seen the movie but apparently I know it well enough to clock it with only a few moments of the dance recital scene. Not a super power I would have wished for but I suppose one I have none the less.

    Absolute Legends
    Tim and Guy are NZ national treasures. To this day I write a shining light section in my journal. You’ve rewired my brain and I thank you for it. My week with Cats should be given an award for performance art. Incredible podcasting, and a hilarious descent into madness. You guys suffer for your art and I thank you with five stars.

    Lost their “drive”
    Used to love this show but they really don’t put in the effort they used to. Should two men drive themselves insane for a podcast? No. But when it’s the whole gimmick of the show, and they barely deal with the subject material and instead talk just about anything else and before you know it they’re at an unjustified shining light.. it just feels like I’m wasting my time. Shining light was the thing that got them through the watch, now it seems like they’re not the slightest connected to the material. The depths I learned of the coffee shop guy in season 2, they’ll never reach those heights again if they keep this up. Love you guys, but you’ve lost your way. Pay more attention. Dom needs you.

    I don’t normally nitpick
    But Dominic Torreto could not vote because he is canonically a felon.

    I owe everything to this pod
    Thanks to this podcast, I have a killer job, a huge house, and a beautiful wife. I’m naming my first son Gim Battgomery

    Extremely soothing
    I started up this podcast as I am now in the middle of wedding planning, two weeks from the big day. Hearing these silly boys talk about a horrible movie and slowly go mad as a result has been just the kind of harmless, low stakes, self inflicted mental slapstick I need to unwind after putting myself through the mental anguish of planning such a daunting event. At time of writing I am listening to sex in the city 2 episode 39, wherein they perform the entire episode in a “Louisiana accent.” As a lifelong resident of the American south I just want to say, Tim, Guy, if you’re reading this, that was not a southern accent. Somehow it was EVERY southern accent, from Appalachian to creole to Texan, while occasionally drifting into cockney and robot voice as well. It made me laugh more than I have in months. I will also say that listening to an almost 10 year old show reminds me of how simple life was back in 2015. A time where we had so few problems that we had to make new ones, like watching a terrible movie every week for a year.

    Worth psychological study
    Nothing quite like listening to two surprisingly insightful Kiwi lads just absolutely lose their minds while subjecting themselves to what has to be a form of torture.
  • Abigail c b
    A+ pod
    Hope you keep getting that sweet sweet universal cash!! ❤️

    Best Podcast Of All Time
    Every season’s amazing, every episode’s a gem. Give these guys more money to make whatever they want to make.

    Love the boys
    Love our frosty fellas.
  • Vivian Burning
    It's the worst idea
    But it makes for the best podcast.
  • Darjeeling77
    Great show terrible feed
    Great show guys. But why don’t you put it in order so I don’t have to scroll for 5 to 10 minutes looking for where I was at. And the Emmanuelle series is disappointing. You have to watch the same movie. Start the next movie! Enough Killiionaire and friends zone only. We need you watching the same movie. Every week.
  • 43BNJ
    The only podcast that I enjoy
    It may be The Worst Idea of All Time, but these two are the best boys of all time.
  • Eliza The Houseplant
    Like an old friend
    I started listening to this over a series of depressive episodes and season 2 has become an extremely comforting presence. The podcast overall and season 2 specifically has is problematic moments but overall it’s so comfortable and welcoming I definitely recommend it. A massive thank you to the boys for hurting themselves with movies for our amusement, you’ve helped me through some dark spots and I appreciate y’all’s sacrifice.
  • Andercovny
    Fascinating and funny
    Honestly very funny, but it’s also interesting hearing the process. The guys really go through a lot through the year and it’s like watching someone go through the stages of grief listening to them do this, which I find really interesting.

  • Pepis Monroe
    You monsters
    You guys are absolute goblins for putting yourself through two human years on earth full of the Sex and the City franchise. Adam Sandler I can forgive. Zac Efron I get it. But guys. GUYS? Straight to jail. I’ve listened to every season twice five stars I hate you.
  • Rotamhsoj
    Brave boys
    This is a five star podcast. However I’m sick of hearing about crappy porn, please end this season.
  • KrisMorrison
    Yes!!
    Yes!!
  • Emma5Julia
    Very good for us. Very bad for the boys.
    Funny show about two men delving further and further into the depths of creative self-harm. 10/10

    I love this Show!!
    Truly a show that builds friendships and destroys sanities! A heroic adventure into the psyche of one Adam Sandler and the Happy Madison EU... not to mention our friends getting all types of Sex in that City I mean what will those Gals do next?!? Do yourself a favor and give it a go! Also check Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt out on Twitter for a choice timeline.

    what even is this
  • 1737382837293
    Quite wonderful
    Listening to these two men willingly spiral deeper and deeper into madness is a privilege. Frolic in their poor choices, glean what meaning you can from this lesson in the futile nature of time and the fragile human psyche. 10/10, extremely powerful podcast
  • Joshvoland
    perfect
    a show where two guys push themselves to the brink of insanity for no reason other than “wouldn’t it be funny if...” and i think that is art.
  • mrmccown
    So good!
    I’ve smiled so hard my face hurts, almost every episode!
  • theimberger
    Thoroughly Interesting and Kinda Insane
    A couple a guys with great accents descending into insanity.
  • ChallahFrenchToast
    Kiwi accents
    This silly show helps me while away the long hours of quarantine. And as all Americans, I can’t get enough of the hosts’ Kiwi accents.
  • Kai RM
    The name of the podcast says it all
    I pray for Tim and Guy’s collective sanity
  • ehmazing
    TWIOAT is MY Jellicle Choice
    The moment I saw the updated cover art for My Week With Cats I had to stifle a snort-laugh at work. Little did I know that the entire prrrrrrreamble and first episode would have me faking a cough to cover how hard I was laughing aloud (to the concern of all my coworkers)! Jellicle Fellas, I’m so glad you’re back. You made my Monday as fun as a romp with the Railway Cat himself!
  • marysandals
    hell yeah man
    Death Blart brought me here and I’m happy to say I have not been disappointed. Tim and Guy are hilarious and the episodes are the perfect length so that catching up doesn’t feel overwhelming. Y’all should give these bois a chance. 🤙
  • Channel Ten Zen
    Wonderful!
    An absolutely wonderful podcast. I came here from Till Death Do Us Blart and I am not disappointed.
  • alisa wells
    Thank you bois
    Great job Boiz you’re doing the important work
  • morgtheiowan
    Genuinely my favorite podcast
    This podcast is upbeat and easy to listen to. The Boiz told me to rate and review so here I am!
  • Stone Cold Jacob
    Just a couple of friends having a good bad time
    Heck of a podcast, it’s an epic journey listening to the boys watch the same film until their minds begin to erode. It would definitely be classified as torture by the CIA, but it’s a fun listen, so who cares? Whenever I listen it makes my day a little better because these are two funny dudes.
  • TAB5149
    Frosty Fellas
    The boiz are back!
  • Meel-234532
    PAY THE BOIZ
    I’d give this podcast 6 out of 5 stars if I could. The fact that Tim and Guy can take their self inflicted torture and transform it into something so hilarious is a tribute to their talent, optimism, and endless charm.
  • Grandpa woods
    Delightful
    Tim and Guy are a charming duo. Madness was never so fun!
  • Gaytriotism
    Unsure Why They Do This To Themselves
    I feel like a scientist observing two men progressing into madness. Great podcast.
  • Nick_NCSU
    Fun and Funny
    These boys show what it's like to be friends and to make poor decisions. I appreciate how Tim and Guy always keep it real, despite being trapped in an artificial media prision of their own creation.
  • rampoul
    Holy *uck
    What is wrong with me that I listened to BOTH DirComs (5 hours) of season 4? At first I was worried about the psychological health of Guy and Tim...but now I realize that I am the one with significant issues. What does it say about me for having been a witness to this horror? Shame on me. 5 stars!
  • JamesFromThatThing
    Shakespeare Would Weep
    Tim and Guy create a tapestry of language that would make William Shakespeare (himself) recoil into the corner, and weep, for he will have finally seen what true mastery of the English language is, and he will know that he will never be able to contend with the genius of these two nimble Kiwis.
  • magikatie
    Insightful
    A brilliantly cutting commentary on the sociopolitical state of the world
