One Good Thing

Episode 35. Highlander II: The Quickening

Cinema Bushido (@Cinemabushido) hurl this frozen disc of cow poo Paul-ward and the Pauls leapt like dogs to catch it in their teeth. Having dodged the remakes and the Giglis and and the Shyamalans of this recommendations month, have they finally met their match in the universally-hated 0% sensation that is Highlander II: The Quickening? Well, don't just stand there: grab hold of the poo-disc and climb in! side a Paul. Featuring: fun the way Michael Ironside likes it, a cult in the making, constant sexual harassment punchlines because Sean Connery, heh-heh, a bumpy ride and a sequel worth bringing to life.

Episode 34. Lady in the Water

Thanks goes to Beyond The Box Set (@Beyondtheboxset) podcast this week for recommending the critic-proof Lady In The Water. Luckily at least one of us is totally underqualified for the job. We might have been asked to find one good thing about this piece of work but we'll go one better. We'll probably have two. Unless a dreaded case of the scrunts sets in. Featuring: NARF, the wims, the wams, the bums, the oobly-boos, a hack, an arse, a Jesus and a very real threat to both chastity and national security.

Episode 33. Gigli

We hark the return of Avoid Being Hated (@avoidbeinghated) who grace us with something really special. That's right: they done recommended us another movie! Looks like they lost their copy of Home Alone 3 though. So... let's get into Gigli before it starts sucking in planets. Good things! Featuring: man's desperate quest for nuggets, lickin' midriffs, penis vs vagina: ultimate showdown, Detective Christopher Walken, one flexed waddle and the very model of a many many monologue. Int'rested?

Episode 32. OGT & Baby Beard present: Surf Ninjas

It's surf season here at OGT apparently - only instead of a poor approximation of a sad Keanu Reeves we have three hot young Australian boys muscling their way onto our podcast to talk the one good thing about Surf Ninjas in a discussion that was originally forty minutes longer than the film's runtime. Classic Straya. Welcome Sean, Phil and James of Baby Beard! Featuring: Schindler’s Ninjas, the hottest boys, a classic switcheroo, Rob Schneider joke, the stair master, the Nielsen secret and one very, very good thing.

Episode 31. Point Break (2015)

Cowabunga all you radical dudes: this week the Pauls get academic in their quest for enlightenment! At the recommendation of Paul's girlfriend Nell they give the Point Break reimagining a go and invite you along for the riiiiiide. But stop smiling and saying surf words – it's not about having fun. It's more serious than ever. And the Pauls couldn't be more thrilled. Let's find a good thing! Featuring: holidays by Ray, the Delroy window to my soul, some good odds, some rad waves, some bitchin' theories, three great lectures and a poly-knob if ever we saw one.

Episode 30. Watching the Watchmen

This week the Pauls dust off their defending cowls and leap fist-first down the throat of Zak Snyder's rather memorable Watchmen! They've read the book and they remember there was a lot of it – lots of blood, lots of superpower and even more lots of incongruously apt tunes that made this comic a real made-for-cinema thriller/comedy/romance. Probably. It was probably that. Anyway, the Pauls liked the movie adaptation of it once upon a time – how do they feel eight years on? Featuring: Dadbody, Supermum, The Clunk, Weirdy-Eardy, The Voice, Dan Dreiger? and DCEU’s probably The Joker.

Episode 29. Alone in the Dark

This week the Pauls hold hands in a well-lit room and face the horror of another in a long line of worst films of all time and – well, you know the rest. Prepare for disappointment. Featuring: a pair of regular Rory Bremners, some right t’orphans, handsome Jeremy Corbyn, the hierarchy of Rob and seven seconds of whatever you want, baby.

Episode 28. Nicolas Cage's Outcast

JAACAAAAAAAAB! Get those earphones in and get yourselves medieval – except for the earphones – because this week the Pauls lurch out of their opium hazes just long enough to lead an unlikely burden across an unbearable distance. That's right, we're in all kinds of east with Nick Powell's Chinese movie Outcast! Featuring: shifting the Damon, the various ages of Boyden Manstensen, Benedict Wong?, a show of real British unity and meeting your boss's eye after your sexy video.

Episode 27. Suicide Squad (Extended Cut)

The Pauls aren't gonna kill you – they're just gonna bash your brains in. They're gonna bash them right the f– oh, hang on... *checks* SHIT! Turns out by all of that they mean they're going to put their own souls through the mangle of misery, going above and beyond the call of duty once again as they witness not only Suicide Squad, but the extended cut of the aforementioned trash fire. Maybe it'll be like Bats v Supes all over again and we'll get something like cohesion with an inexplicably longer edition. Or maybe they're just in for some serious mental abuse like only David Ayer knows how. Featuring: the bleak world that pursues Mark Kermode from the past, a Shia Labeouf exhibit nobody can enjoy, condomfuls of disappointment and swingin' it round, DC style!

One Quick Thing #2. Brain Twisters

Another week, another head in a jar! In this mini episode the Paul's tackle another Gore House Great, this time a sci-fi head upsetter, Brain Twisters. Featuring: The Pauls not noticing the phrase "bell end", degree shaming, confusingly similar high school girls, German shaming, some great police work, William Fichtner shaming, and some Paul on Paul combat over acting prowess. Not Featuring: Bob Hoskins, Chloe Sevigny, Molly Ringwold, Rosario Dawson, Ben Barnes, Sherman from American Pie, Detective John Lovitz and Bill Pullman, Doctor William Fichtner and Mr Fluffy Pants.
