Can't stop, won't stop, #Deathblart The Blart quintet are back for a ninth year. Nothing will stop them from their annual watch and review of BP:MC2, not an industry-wide strike, not a lack of enthusiasm for the film. In this refreshingly straight-laced approach at the material, all five reviewers have remained (mainly) sober and checked in. This mentally sharp environment has allowed for a Griffin-Timbo mindmeld to explore the possible religious and philosophical ramifications of Paul fighting a bird in a fake garden setting to piano music. Travis is attempting to explain to his child that this movie IS a comedy. Guy is quick to defend the Toyota Yaris. And Justin has once again figured out a way to turn the watch into a joyful experience while watching shirtless in bed. Please enjoy, season greetings to one and all and do consider purchasing a shirt or poster this year because all the proceeds go to the First Nations Development Institute. https://mcelroymerch.com/collections/til-death-do-us-blart Current hosts: Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy, Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery

Welcome to season six of The Worst Idea of All Time. Guy Montgomery and Tim Batt will be watching the entire Fast and Furious franchise, in reverse order, for about a year. Each movie will be watched the number of times according to where it comes in the series. First up; F9 nine times. Tim and Guy dive headfirst into the series' latest outing and try to make sense of the world around them. A world where family is everything but mothers are seemingly too unimportant to mention. A world where magnets can repel metal. A world where the film's protagonists can have so little onscreen chemistry that it's hard to figure out whether they're romantically entangled, or siblings.Artwork by Tomas CottleTheme song by Luke Rowellworstideaofalltime.com Hosted on Acast.
