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. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've got it all - running water in the urinal, personal agency and a 7th watch of Joker 2. Tim and Guy examine the brutal reality of the seven times at the trough. Stuffed, so completely, with Joker 2.
Monty is steadfast in his belief that he simply will not be bossed around by this movie, and breaks down (with the detail and vocabulary of a decades-long sports commentator) the back and forth of the boiz' latest fight. Guyguy a...
Coming to you from the sleeping bags they just spent the night in, inside the comedy club they currently live in - Guy and Tim are picking apart the financial performance of Joker 2 and the incredible reaction of Todd Phillips upon release of the film. Tim tries (to limited avail) to tie the trajectory of the watches to Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’ five stages of grief. Guy poses the question: Who are the fans of this movie?
It has been three weeks, and in some ways five weeks. And in some other ways, it has simply been one day for Tim and Guy watching Joker: Folie à Deux. A damaged Lithium Ion battery pack has become a ticking potential timebomb threatening to destroy The Classic (Tim and Guy's current abode) adding beautiful background tension to this episode. The very definition of a joke is picked apart for a very long time after this 5th watch of ...
Guy and Tim are truly ON ONE. Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is outted as a common plagiarist. Todd Phillips is recognised as being VERY IMPORTANT to the making of Joker 2. And also, it is Monday! Now imagine this: What if this movie was made for just one person? And what if that person was a certain Canadian physiologist who almost killed himself going on an all meat diet? There truly is a lot to consider when you’ve got a brain full of ...
We are joined by writer, comedian and (semi) qualified clown Johanna Cosgrove for our third watch, on day two of our grand experiment. Johanna, Guy and Tim run an intense discussion on the musical genre in film, the competing Parisian clown schools and of exactly what Lady Gaga is doing in this movie. Also this episode, we introduce Tim’s eye stye!

Tim and Guy are up against it. It's only the second watch and Guy fears the pair are in too deep a water already. That is a scary prospect for two men looking down the barrel of 12 more watches in just 4 short days. Let us gaze upon the beautiful cinematography and excellent acting of Joker 2 and marvel at how it stills somehow manages to be a really stinky film. Tim offers advice for his friends in the MRA community and swears to ...
It’s the first watch and it’s also the most elastic experience of time Guy Montgomery has ever had while sober. Tim is terrified of what has the pair have signed themselves up to for this season upon now seeing the film. Recounting the plot is a seemingly impossible task. This film releasing in cinemas seems, in retrospect, like an impossible outcome. But the inescapable truth is: Movie come out - something need happen.
Welcome to a brand new season of The Worst Idea of All Time. In late 2025, we set out to apply our method film review process to Joker: Folie à Deux.
Join us, outside the front doors of The Classic, Auckland’s only comedy club. A venue we will soon enter the doors of to live inside for one week, to watch and review Joker: Folie à Deux. 14 watches. 14 reviews. 14 chances for the movie to impress this pair of dedicated film critic...
Guy and Tim have a special announcement recorded months ago but broadcast now for your information. Join us, as we welcome into the world, a new human and a new season of The Worst Idea of All Time.

Tim sounds like he's in a box. Why? Because apparently after over 100 episodes, the boys still haven't figured out how to record properly.

This tank is running low on gas folks. But luckily, the end is in sight for our two kiwi battlers. The Church of Noeth(spelling?), the ire of Nicky, the superior swimming skills of Guy - all are on show in this episode. A web-enabled rat super species are now a terrifying possibility and the wedding was probably expensive. ALSO - Guy and Tim are com...

The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
