    Original Description:
    Guy and Tim have finally made it. It's the last viewing of Grown Ups 2, exactly one year after they started. Recorded live in front of a soldout CineFamily crowd on Sunset in Los Angeles, California. After a public viewing of the movie the lads have finally seen the backend of the movie. What ensues is an elated, nonsensical final romp through a film that's been a part of the boys' life for a long time. It's time to say goodbye.

    Original Description:
    Guy and Tim have taken their camper (thanks Jucy Rentals!) to Joshua National Park, California. It's late, it's isolated and the boys are getting a little freaky. In this episode, the movie appears to have taken a backseat to delightful stories ranging from childhood bike injuries to a very recent adult pant-crapping incident.
    We find out what happened to Patty's grandparents and hear some positive words about Braden's acting ability. We're having a WONDEFUL time.

    Original Description:
    Against the odds, Guy and Tim have made it to LA. They've eaten some Blaze Pizza and now it's time to tick some other bucket list items off the list; Namely, watching Grown Ups 2 in a Kmart. That's right, the lads have watched the entire film inside of a Kmart and recorded an episode in the terrible, dirty walls of the quintessential department store of yesteryear.
    Guy's approaching unattended kids, Tim's distracted by all the fantastic colours and products on offer. It's almost the end of the nightmare so get in while the getting's good.

    Original Description:
    ATTN: DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BIRDMAN YET
    Fresh from the table read of the script Guy and Tim wrote from memory being performed in front of 150 people in their hometown of Auckland, the lads immedately went home and chucked on the movie for the fourth to last time ever.
    It's 2am. It's an emotional podcast this week, Montgomery is mainly waking up for most of it and what is exposed is a raw, unguarded side of a man who is so near the finishline he can almost taste it. Voices are croacky, spirits are mixed and Guy and Tim are just trying to live every moment.

    Original Description:
    Just what comes of two men when you sit them in front of Grown Ups 2 for the forth dozen time inside a year? Apparently, it's sour relationships, lots of singing, lots more swearing, rumination about their self-imposed prison and chats about the mighty Haast Eagle.
    If you weren't worried about Guy and Tim before this episode, you swear as hell will be now.

    Original Description:
    Guy and Tim are joined by their friends and NZ comedy people Dai Henwood and Josh Thompson for an extended guest episode. In the Grown Ups 2 arena this week, the boys hit some familiar terrain such as Kmart, product placement, racial stereotypes and a perceived lack of plot. Plus some curveballs get thrown, including why does Principal Tardio makes no moves to avoid getting paint dropped on him and quick drying deer piss.

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.

I don’t normally nitpick

But Dominic Torreto could not vote because he is canonically a felon.

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.
