One Good Thing

Episode 54. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2

This week the Paulboyz get their laughing gear around the end of a series they’ve had very little to do with to date, but promise you this: if but one iota makes no sense they’ll hound it to the ends of the Earth. That’s right: this week is the one good thing about immortal abomination The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn: Part 2::::! May our lives be forever about to change. Featuring: we found Jim Broadbent, the bad promise, the strangest heart and honestly, very honestly, not Paul Giamatti, please believe me, I know, it’s hard, but do.

Episode 53. CHAPPiE

Does not compute! Aha... ah. Launching the Pilot podcast not only has a frankly fantastic Australian mullet, but they came to us with a violent, sexy idea for our ears only: find the one good thing about CHAPPiE, they said. And let us pilot an incredible death machine. Hmm, we said. Seems a bit much. No it isn't, they said. Just look at Sigourney Weaver over there. She seemed pretty cool with it. We didn't have a leg to stand on. Except for a gross insane killer robot leg. So while the LtP boys ran rampant with a murderous metal hellbeast the Paulboyz found themselves cowering in their private military office, eating old sandwich crusts out the bin under a flickering fluorescent light; fortunately between cries muffled by dampening loaf the reflection of CHAPPiE was coming in off of a drive-thru cinema that had recently gained sentience and begun marching up and down the main road; even more fortunately it had decided to stand in front of the building opposite us in order to mecha-urinate all over it. For two hours. This episode is the resulting experience of that fateful day. What is good thing! Featuring: A long way to go for anything, Hugh Jackman's whole deal, the power of love and wall-to-wall Die Antwoord, fuckmothers.

Episode 52. New Year's Eve

Well, it's the end of a long and sticky year. We've seen our fair share of highs and some undeserved lows, but those of us who remain have not only ourselves but each other to thank. These emotions and more come to a head on the last day of 2017: there'll be laughter, mostly because of alcohol; regret, mostly also because of alcohol but also because of genitals and the sex we've done to one another, but also regret from all the poor decisions we made in the last year, because of alcohol, sex and the terrible food we've pushed into our faces to get over all our hangovers and awful sexual encounters. Never mind, here's Gary Marshall's New Year's Eve. It's two hours long and you might forget about how terrible you are at life as you slip jagged and screaming into the vortex of a film that defies Gregorian and other concepts of time. Here's to a sparkling new year with all the new opportunities, sexual and other, that they tend to provide. And thank you, OGTeam. Featuring: please don't make me... okay... there's... VP New Year... Sudeikis New Year... Mom New Year... please... please, everyone... it's the 31st... ____ New Year... ____ New Year... fill 'em in. Like in games. Games fun... Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov is in this one I think. His sequence of religious epiphanies is unparalleled in cinema. You should really check this out, guys.

A Christmas Treat from OGT!

Merry Christmas one and all: a wildly unseasonal Easter Egg and proof that all it takes is a little jet lag to break one Paul's mind.

Episode 51. Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas

Merry Christmas from the Paulboyz at OGT: this week we find the one festive thing about Kirk Cameron's Saving Christmas and in turn find that Christmas is indeed saved for us. No doubt about it, guys. This does exactly what it says on the tin. Featuring everything you've ever wanted in Santa's steely gaze. See you in the new year!

Episode 50. The One Good Thing About One Good Thing

Now they've recorded 50+2 episodes, the Paulboyz turn their critical rays on themselves, along with the brain-baby that is their podcast 'The One Good Thing About Podcast'. Ever listened to them crap on about Christopher Nolan for the tenth consecutive episode and wondered 'But why did you bother recording this?''How can you even stand each other?' or 'What did you have for lunch today?" ? Well, today's your lucky day because these questions and more are answered within. Thanks for permitting us the indulgent wankathon that is our fiftieth episode. Thanks to everyone who has listened, liked, reviewed and subscribe, and here's to the next year, more bad movies and many more bona fide good things. Featuring: the past, the present, the future, some great bits, some ego stroking, some juicy gossip and two Pauls who just can't get enough.

Episode 49. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace

The Paulz are in tumult: HMRC are chasing them up and down the country for blockading the entrance to their headquarters and the strapping young podcastmen just don’t ruddy care! They’ve made a fort out of sleeping bags and Domino’s boxes and have resolved to watch all 127 minutes of George Lucas’s Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace right there in the doorway, their naked feet and arses exposed to the unforgiving winter air of the British Isles (and Tesco’s jam) because apparently Ian Duncan Smith bet them they couldn’t find even one good thing about it. Who's the real fool here? Anyway, the twist is both Pauls were arrested for movie piracy. Damn. Best send some jedis in to save the hapless fuckidiots. Featuring: some REALLY offensive accents, well-trodden ground, when not to be a Yes Man and our invitations to the ranch rescinded forever.

Episode 48. Jack and Jill

We finally did it. The oft-threatened. The rightly feared. We invited our twin sister over for bank holiday Monday! Ugh, nightmare. Long story short, she took off her pantyhose, stuffed a weasel up there and puked up a big racist drawing of England's growing Polish population, but because she looks an awful lot like us it's funny and romantic, not grossly offensive. The secret is she's just lazy, but no one seems to have cottoned on just yet. Same time again next year! In the meantime, let's watch something only half as opprobrious as my piece of shit sister: an anti-vacc documentary! Oh, she also made us watch Jack and Jill. We talk about that this week. Featuring: two Adam Sandlers inside what seems to be an ad for Pepto Bismol, which in itself is inside a Dunkin' Donuts story, which in itself is contained within a Sony saga, which inhabits a Coca Cola edumercial, all of which has nestled inside Al Pacino's confusing and upsetting head and laid eggs on his brain, unfortunately culminating in an ad for Adam Sandler. Damn you, Happy Gilmore.* *Madison. We make this mistake 83 times in this episode and we'd like you to know that we're not idiots. Just lazy. Like begets like, motherfucker.

Episode 47. The Happening

Give the Paulboyz a second: they’re processing an awful lot right now and can’t stand to be [incoherent mumbling] passive observers anymore! Some strange shit’s going down, man, people are losing their minds over this and it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Never mind that: the Pauls have found a patch of land in idyllic Killadelphia not dominated by murderous trees and are going to watch The Happening. You voted for it. We have to find it. The one good thing, that is. A lot of people have asked us if we’re crazy, if we’re some sort of weirdo or deviant type. And you know what we have to say to that? What? Noooo… Featuring: thinky science, secret Adonis, zoo luck, one for the dads, a right rough soldier, the doll-human problem we’ve all faced before and a human film for robots.

Episode 46. Pearl Harbor

Hey flyboys: we heard there’s a war on! Last thing me and the boys heard there’s a hulking mass in the sky, come from afar, promising doom and destruction from above – and all we can do is wait. That’s right, I was really talking about Pearl Harbour (2001) but flipped it at the very end there! Did you see? Anyway, me and the boys are gonna go smooch some dames and get something hypodermic jabbed into our butt-meat, hopefully with some sort of military-grade narcotic because even though we’re not at war we really have a battle of our own and that is finding one measly good thing in a mere three hours of constant spinning telephoto lens. Up up and away! Featuring: cartoon stutter II: the cringing, Baffneckinsale, Japan vs. Kate, tricks for Baldwin and startling historical accuracy.
