4	Time and attention are required to truly appreciate the intricacies of any great work.
5
6	Tim Batt and Guy Montgomery understand this very well. Every week the two New Zealanders watch the same movie and discuss/review it. For a year. Also, for an extra bit of challenge, they have to say at least one nice thing about it every time.
7
8	The first movie chosen to give this amount of scrutiny to was ''Film/GrownUps 2''. What started out as 30-minute long discussions about the film's comedic pitfalls and plot holes turned into extended bouts of maniacal laughter, existential reflections, and self-loathing.
9
10	Only a few weeks after the conclusion of their initial journey, the boys embarked on a second quest to review a movie every week for a year: ''Film/SexAndTheCity 2''. After that was done, they took on a third challenge: Give the same treatment to ''Film/WeAreYourFriends''. This was followed up with the first ''Sex and the City'' film. The fifth season puts a twist on the format; the duo watches a different ''Film/{{Emmanuelle}}'' film each week for a year.
11
12	Besides that, the duo also works on a yearly side project in a similar vein along with [[Creator/McElroyBrothers Justin, Travis and Griffin McElroy]] of the ''Podcast/MyBrotherMyBrotherAndMe'' podcast, called ''Podcast/TilDeathDoUsBlart''. The premise is simple; watch and review ''Film/PaulBlartMallCop2'' on every American Thanksgiving until the end of time.

16	!!Provides Examples Of:
17	* TheAlcoholic: Both Tim and Guy drink to cope with the movie, but Tim's habit was enough of a concern that Guy conducted an on-air intervention.
18	* AlternateDVDCommentary: In the guise of the films directors.
19	* ABirthdayNotABreak: An episode is recorded on Tim's birthday.
20	* BerserkButton: In later episodes they say that the podcast is the bane of their existence.
21	* CatchPhrase: "Don't watch the movie."
22	** "Suicide 35 off the top rock, 35 feet above the water, my mom did that jump when she was pregnant with me!"
23	* ConversationalTroping
24	* DeadpanSnarker: The podcast runs on it.
25	* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The guys are more low-key in the early episodes compared to the emotional extremes they reach in later episodes.
26	** Early episodes also have a "Hollywood Accounting" segment.
27	* EnsembleDarkhorse: [[invoked]]Patrick Schwarzenegger.
28	* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Tim's flatmate's snoring in Episode 29.
29	* FullNameBasis: Guy frequently refers to Tim by his full name.
30	* ItMakesSenseInContext: They've theorised that Grown Ups 2 might be one of the funniest movies of all time but only if you've seen the original first (which they haven't).
31	* NoodleIncident: What happened to Steve Buscemi?
32	* SawStarWarsTwentySevenTimes: The premise of the podcast. Every week for a year, they rewatch the same movie then review it.
33	* WatsonianVersusDoylist: A brief discussion in Episode 6 falls along these lines, with Tim concocting an elaborate theory about how David Spade's character's son is "a warlock," while Guy argues that all the "magical" inconsistencies are just poor writing/editing.
